The Official Toonami Thread: Fight tha powa!

But that is a secret… waves finger

Sure there are tons but I say start with the basics outside of Gundam…so you wana hit
-Super Robot Wars OG: Divine Wars
-Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspectors
-Marcross Frontier and Macross Zero
-Linebarrles of Iron
-Gravion and Gravion Zewi
-King Gainer
-Aquarion and Aquarion Evol.

Edit:I’m currently checking out Demonbane it’s looks good, and it’s definitely mecha~

Other mentions:
-Gundam Unicorn or anything in Universal Century for starters.
Zone of the Enders: OVA and Dolores-i (only watch if you played the games…seriously…)
-Full Metal Panic
-Code Gease(not my favorite but it’s still worth a watch)
-The Rebuild of Neon Genesis Evangelion or NGE 1.11 and 2.22
-Tegen Toppa Gurren Lagann(same studio who does NGE randomly enough)
-burst angel

even BubbleGum Crisis fall into mech o_O and that is a damn good series(the original OVA’s) 2040 is ok too…but the original is where it’s at along with BubbleGum Crash.

anyways…this is alot of stuff and I’m missing alot of stuff…

I remember Escaflowne being decent.

Adult Swim did air the Escaflowne movie a couple of years ago. Not the biggest fan of that series though.

im gonna watch this thread because i want yall to post the promos and intros for the shows toonami will be showing. thats what made toonami anyways

Escaflowne is very slow…the movie is a condensed version of the anime series…and still it’s very slow and not too interesting outside of a few mech fights. I’m not saying you can’t have drama in a mech anime…but there is a limit to when it’s almost a chick flick…you’ll be better off watching a macross or UC gundam movie.

Edit: because im kinda nerdy on the subject and many of you maybe just don’t know…but Gundam’s continuity is split up into Centuries or Eras. I’ll give a few examples…

Universal Century: is the biggest in Gundam’s line of continuity most things happen in this timeline, everything from Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, 08th MS team, and even Gundam Unicorn are all apart of this timeline.

Future Century: belongs to G-Gundam, After Colony: belongs to Gundam Wing, Anno Domini is Gundam OO(double O), and Cosmic Era is Gundam Seed.

some series are bigger then others, Ironically G-Gundam and Gundam Wing being smaller ones but are the most popular here in the states then Seed or OO, UC is big on both sides of the world though. Sorry to nerd out…

^What he said… Bitches.

Hey now. Tonka trucks were cool. What they did to Tom with that…design, is NOT cool. Yes, even little kids have more sense than that.

The motherfucking hype.

Cracks knuckles Looks like I have some work to do. Too bad I’m better at Google-fu than Skullgirls. :frowning:

Victory Gundam, Zeta Gundamn, Chars Counterattack, Break Blade (the light novel or manga, the oav’s are good but only cover a fourth of the story).

GadGaurd is amazing, a few others but can’t remember them now.

Oh yeah, TTGL, and Getter Robo.

If we are going to go solely off openings then SRW:OG the Inspectors got you beat…though Gainer has a awesome opening.[media=youtube]CcxXfWHL4qc[/media]

It’s more obnoxious than hype.

Gad Guard does it smoothly.

Psst, take that video out of your quote.

to be very honest I forgot about Gad Guard(It even Aired on G4’s Anime Unleashed, with Read or Die the TV and Gene Shaft)

Edit: you know the full version of the Gad Guard opening is rather ridiculous~ that Saxophone is something else~

though it’s manga only Gundam Crossbones is epic…but there is alot of stuff out there, Luv Muv is apparently good too~
Also because I love Xenosaga, Avoid the anime adaption like the plague…it’s not good…and doesn’t do the game justice. We don’t get good anime adaptions from games like Tales of the Abyss all the time~

before i forget again watch Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari. I can’t stress how much i liked this series…

I just noticed Rahxephon was absent on that mech list.

Because it’s Escaflowne tier.

And by “Escaflowne tier”, I mean “might as well watch NGE” tier.

All trolling aside, I’d rather watch Eureka Seven, much more rewarding.

Somebody else who knows of the mind-molesting goodness of Paranoia Agent. I says damn! I’d watch it again if it came on, no doubt. The best time to watch it is after you’ve been awake for like a day straight. It just seems even MORE f’ed up, if that’s possible. I don’t know exactly what does it, but it does it.

I can see Toonami adding Angel Beats! if they are mixing in some newer shows into the lineup. it has a fair amount of action while being a popular series.
[media=youtube]0eSmwJef5z4[/media]

I wouldn’t put Escaflowe on NGE tier. That series was part Shojo and annoying so.

I’d watch Angel Beats again.

Escaflowne was alright, but it’s like “why watch that when I can watch Eureka Seven and get shit like this”
[media=youtube]BPkGQaUU-jQ[/media]

I’m kind of hoping they do 2 old animes they’ve never aired before, and then have everything else balanced.

Blue Gender, Fist of the North Star, Panty and Stocking, Serial Experiments Lain (That can be justified airing ten times in a row), some comedy, maybe Ben-to or Tiger and Bunny, and something kind of Shoujo to round it off, maybe Magical Madoka or Chifaruyfuyu or Rose of Versailies or Pretty Cure or Princess Tutu or Revolutionary Girl Utena.

your pretty correct on that though…either of those mechs or would be mechs(EVA’s) are “not” high on the SRW tier list…only stuff like GaoGaiGar and Gurren Lagann run high on that list without few exceptions(Berserk EVA unit-01 being one) and stuff in SRW:OG…that shit is cosmic godlike…so it’s like that. Also remember how big each mech is…a Gundam is actually huge in comparison to say King Gainer or a Knightmare from Code Geass. Aquarion is Gigantic…but these guys are classified as Real Robots instead of Super Robots…

Super Robots are like God Gundam, GaoGaiGar, TTGL, SRX(SRW:OG), Beowulf(SRW:OG), Hyper Gravion Sigma.
Real Robots are Normal Gundams like RX-78(though Gundam Hammer it’s self is considered to be Super Robot class badass) LFO’s(Eureka Seven) , knightmares(Code Geass), Orbital Frames(Z.O.E), The Big-O.
And some things that are borderline like the Macross Quarter(Macross Frontier), and Linebarrel(Linebarrels of Iron), and EVA’s…because they are well artificial angels…Nerd stuff aside, this is what makes the SRW games so popular…seeing your favorite robot kick anothers butt~ sadly because of licencing…they will never make it here.
