The Official Toonami Thread: Fight tha powa!

April 1st Toonami event did not have the lowest ratings that night. It surpassed every comedy show except Boondocks, FG, and American Dad.

I DIG GIANT ROBOTS!
YOU DIG GIANT ROBOTS!
WE DIG GIANT ROBOTS!
CHICKS DIG GIANT ROBOTS!

To this day, I still don’t get why this show got canned. The whole premise of the show was refreshing, and the references thrown in a couple episodes were amusing.

Wasnt it canned because it didnt sell toys or some dumb shit?

Yea, they wanted it to be a product vehicle forgetting a very very large part of Toonami’s viewer audience was old enough to no longer care about toys. Instead they liked good shows…like Megas XLR.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind seeing older stuff that ISN’T DBZ or Naruto, like Ultimate Muscle or Shaman King. But thats just me.

4kids Ultimate muscle? Pass.

if you’re going to air 4kids dubs of UM, Shaman King, and One Piece, you may as well air that abomination (un)known as Mon Colle Knights on Toonami.

LOL Moncolle Knights. I remember liking it for some reason. I guess I have a thing for bad anime.

I liked it as a kid. But then again, I was 10 years old when it first aired in the states. I just recently re-watched the dub earlier this year. My god, they use some terrible and outdated dubbing techniques, e.g. really obvious script alterations with unfunny jokes.

Toonami did air the Funimation dub of One Piece for a while before it vanished.

Someone uploaded all the english episodes on the internet. I downloaded them for nostalgia’s sake. It’s an ugly thing. :rofl:

Ultimate Muscle is probably one of the few dubs 4Kids did that was watchable. At times it was horrible, then they came back to being so bad it was good and drifted between those two extremes.

All the fart jokes in Ultimate Muscle made me think that it was co-produced with Nickelodeon.

Flatulances aside, some people are speculating that this Saturday’s line up isn’t the final one. Contacted Demarco through facebook regarding this issue, will get a reply later today.

Looks final to me. I’ll still watch it. Shrugs

I remember seeing these episode on toonami lol

The R.E.G.I.S MK-V is just pure win…

Seriously for a 2 season run this show had good ratings; rumor was due to management changes they had this cancelled to make room for over shows

Sup Guys so there doing a midnight run on saturday for toonami???

Yes they are from Midnight until 6 AM. Pretty hyped for the new Deadman Wonderland Dub

i don’t wanna sound like a fag for saying this, but i wanna see sailor moon on toonami again. chances of that are low, considering that it’s not licensed by any one anymore.

btw, what are you guys going to do on toonami night? i’m gonna roll up a fat ass swisher and sip on some cognag.

Lay in bed.

I’m going to attempt to stream it through my 360 since I have Verizon.
