Toonami Hits Anime Punch

Here's an article I wrote for a website about the con and the Toonami panel I ran, also includes pics and some videos.

Oh sweet, im glad you had a run-down of the panel. I kept telling myself i was going to go to it but i forgot about it after like 5 hours xD!

I miss when Toonami was on in the afternoon and they had a bunch of Anime like DBZ / Sailor Moon / G Gundam and other that i forgot about!

I miss when Toonami had Outlaw Star. <<

I miss the good ol' days: Toonami for hours in the day, Midnight Run airing uncut stuff at night, Rising Sun for weekend awesomeness, and a decent block on WB to put the icing on the cake.

What the fuck happened?

Parents.
Scared Goku's muscles will make their children shoot up schools turn gay and commit suicide.

But they showed DBZ uncut, or nearly I don't really, recently.

Most people blame CN for it.

Kids WB Toonami was good?! That's the first I've ever heard anyone say that. Glad someone liked it.

Oh. My. God. You're lucky I found you before Mike had the opportunity to crush you for having said it.

DBZ was EXTREMELY edited. It got better with time but HO BOY did they chop it. Blood? Out. Swearing? Out. The words dead, killed, and murdered (the next dimension for you! mwahaha!) they went so far as to change the COLOR of master Roshi's drink from brown to blue so no one would think it was beer. They edit EVERYTHING on toonami, even when they played the uncut midnight run everything was STILL cut.

Now that I think about it, they never actually ever did say "dead", "killed", or "murdered" or anything like that. It was always like "Oh no....Vegita...He's....gone!!"

Haha I actually found all the edits hilarious.

That reminds me that I still don't have any of the "uncut, uncensored" season boxsets -.-

Grr

I have a bunch of the uncut VHS tapes. XD

I think he was referring to a recent rebroadcast, but I've heard nothing about it. Would be pretty epic.

Midnight Run aired Gundam Wing uncut, which was the predecessor to Adult Swim. For Toonami & Adult Swim's later edits, consult the following:

...some people have way too much time on their hands

I miss Cartoon Network and how it was. I know Toonami cut the hell out of everything, but half of us wouldn't have watched tons of DBZ or Gundam without it.

What I REALLY FUCKING MISS, is Adult Swim (right after the midnight run went out) when it was just on weekends and it shown nothing but anime from like 11pm to 3 or 4am. Some weeks they'd even be marathons of Yu Yu Hakusho and such.

...if you look at Adult Swim now... well, I'm just saying I'd rather be a victim of tentacle rape than watch a marathon of Tom Goes to the Mayor.

Yeah.. Old Adult Swim: Gundam Wing, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Yu Yu Hakusho, other amazing fun stuff

New Adult Swim: Aqua Teens, Tom Goes to the Mayor, Harvey Birdman, Home Movies, all these retarded shows I would not watch if you paid me. The only thing they have worth watching is Family Guy, and even that gets old when you've seen every episode multiple times..

I wonder if we sent in enough comments, Adult Swim would be willing to show it's old line up for at least a day....*sigh*

Adult Swim is putting Cowboy Bebop back on, or so I heard.
