those Toonami dudes are really getting on my nerves...END THE TORTURE!!!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : All Things Final Fantasy II : One Thread

Yes, folks...it's stuff like this that bugs people...even the crazy ones like me. Sure, Toonami has some good shows but there some that really crawl on my nerves like Batman Beyond that they are poisoning young minds with. They should put the decent shows back on like (you guessed it) Tenchi Muyo and (surprisingly) Outlaw Star. Yes, folks, I have seen a few episodes of Outlaw Star and liked them. But what do they have? THE POWERPUFF GIRLS!!! I sometimes wish they had that Rising Sun thing again... Questions? Comments? just want to speak your mind on the subject? SPEAK OUT AGAINST NON ANIME SHOWS ON TOONAMI!!!

Danke, BR

What the hell? YOU like OS? Kill yourself now, as you have disgraced the honor of anime. *Hands BR katana*

Hey! I happen to love Outlaw Star! Does that mean all I like is crappy anime ? I dunno you decide.. hmm some of my favorites: The Slayers, Bubblegum Crisis 2040, Tenchi Muyo, Cowboy Bebop, Amazing Nurse Nanako (^_^), and yes, Outlaw Star... I don't claim to know a lot about anime... but these are the few that I was able to find and watch (and liked)

Ahem, AP, I was merely referring to BR's taste in bad "anime" (a.k.a. pokemon, those sort of things) was a disgrace on the best anime ever to grace this planet, Outlaw Star, not saying that O.S. was a bad anime...

Outlaw Star IS anime you freak show reject. And what's so bad about it? Hot women, good story, good action, what else could you hope for?

Outlaw Star is cool. The only reason you guys think it sucks is because you are watching the cut version. Thats what sucks about toonami. They show the Fucking cut version during the fucking day show. The only time they have shown an uncut was when they had Gundam wing and that was on the night show. But if you want to see the best anime then stay up late on saturdays and watch Adult Swim. Cowboy Bebop is the best one. And if you don't believe me then download a streamed episode at www.angelfire.com/gundam/roflmaotalk/index2.html It's worth it.

I'm just surfing this place, so you'll never see me again, but that's besides the point.

Point one: Toonami may have a MOSTLY uncut Cowboy Bebop, but they'll never have a fully uncut version of practically anything (The "Modified" sailor moon transformations, the removal of the shot of a nakid guy-girl from Cowboy Bebop, those pathetic excuses for bathing suits from Tenchi, along with "tea" instead of sake, which they screwed up once somehow, and of course the complete removal of a single episode from Outlaw Star... of course, a number of episodes were removed from Sailor Moon as well, but that's another story that predates Toonami)

Point Two: There aren't any disgraces to anime, no matter how bad a show may be or how bad it's dubbed. Oh, sure, there may be things of which make the american public think "Anime? You mean that crappy kids shit, like pokemon?" but a number of those people are too narrowminded to care anyway.

Saying that any anime is somehow a disgrace to anime, no matter how bad, is like saying that some TV show (Friends, the ana-nicole show, whatever) is a disgrace to all american TV: say that Pokemon is a disgrace to Megumi hayashibara as a voice actress or something in her role in it (Musashi, for those interested; the red haired one dubbed as Jessie), but broad statements adressed to the entire anime community are just sort of narrow minded.

Further, yes, DS rocks. I don't know what brought that up, but DS rocks. Unless we're not talking about Dark Schnieder, in which case I haven't a bloody clue.

Finally, the Powerpuff girls isn't anime, but that doesn't mean it sucks ass; it's actually fairly popular in Japan, as shown in an issue of Animage that I purchased (I do believe that the kids of that country could animate the show in a method superior to the one currently used)... Hmmm... I had another point...

Basically, remember, progress is progress. It'd be wrong to say that the introduction of pokemon is somehow a complete and total advancement for the anime society, but it cannot be ignored that it has dramatically affected the community in terms of how much material can be accessed by those of us in America: remember, some of the same people who market pokemon are the people who market Ranma 1/2

In conclusion, don't bash the system! Is it flawed? Yes. Is EVERY system flawed? Yes. The best thing to do is to slowly make changes to a flawed system so as to remove those flaws and reach supreme perfection!

Of course, my motto is, "Can't someone ELSE do it?"

Personally, I am not too big on anime,but nor do i support American cartoons, however there is some anime that i like,but this is only a few. I myself think Powerpuff Girls is a cute lil show,its not meant to be serious,its meant to be cute and to catch the attention of little girls... Batman Beyond is okay...nothing specail but some of the episodes have cool badguys(most corny though,but some revised ones look cool) and i like the animation style. And I have sat down and watched Sailor Moon...and i hate the show..it utterly sickens me, I even wrote a critique and the reasons why i don't like it.. Tenchi Muyo...ughh..whenever my cousin would turn the show on i would go outside,the show had a very boring plot line if you ask me.

As for saying...there is alot worse anime on Toonami then there is bad American Cartoons. Toonami wasn't ever meant to be all anime...i suggest getting to live around more than just anime cartoons,try other genres

Canie the two shows you listed that you liked are both american cartoons and why wast your time writeing about how much you hate sailor moon

Personally, I too am not the only one pissed off about shit like Powerpuff Girls and Batman Beyond being included in what's supposed to be an all-anime block.

I also am not happy about the GOOD uneditted stuff being on at midnight-2 or 3 in the morning. If they want to make sure they stop receiving e-mails about this, have them make the 24-hour anime network and be done with it! But if they do, make sure its free.

CN can show all of the other cartoons they want, just STOP putting non-anime shows in Toonami runs! I don't even care if they're anime- esque, stop putting that shit in there.

To me I think that Batman Beyond was OK but I know it can not compete with state of the art ANIME. Powerpuff Girls make me sick I think it's childish and insane. I love Outlaw Star. It has a good plot & has amazing action scenes. But no american cartoon can compare to even Cowboy Bebop. You can't compare to Japanese cartoon action. I do have to say that american cartoons can be OK. You need to quite HATEN.

does it matter that the anime is uncut? YES!! but thats not the point. the point is that its a CHILDREN'S NETWORK!!! there are far better animes on the action channel and if u dont have dig.C. than just rent the movies or buy the anime from ur local comic store. but u r right, the PPG is not an anime and they dont need it on an all anime block, but it is the same channel that shows shit like that, so if it comes on, just turn the channel and/or walk away. its that easy. we really dont need a WB show on CN either (Bat-man Beyond). toonami is (otherwise) just fine and can improve. if u just go to the tonnami web-site and look for an email address to complain to, so just relax and calm down. u can even ask for an anime that u like to be put on the show, and just ask that before that show to say that its adult rated, and to get permission from there parent(not that ive done this, or even am).DBZ is a good "show" but its (for me) ranked with the american shows. ill watch it but i wont go around saying that its "THE BEST ANIME" because its not. u can find uncut at comic stores. oh, and about the person that said that they should just make an Anime Network, why not tell them that?

I may not have seen "Outlaw Star", "Tenchi Muyo", or others, but I have seen the drek CN foists on kids like "The Powerpuff Girls", "Ed, Edd, and Eddy", "Dexter's Lab", and last and least "Grim & Evil". To me they just plain SUCK!!! What were the execs at CN smoking when they put that crap on the air??? The fools should put shows like "Outlaw Star", "Tenchi Muyo", "Ssteel Angel Kurumi", "Hand Maid May", "Saint Tail", "Magic Knight Rayearth", and "Bishojou Senshi Sailor Moon" on the Toonami block! Get rid of the kiddie crap and put Anime back where it belongs! Keep "Batman Beyond", Superman", "Batman: The Animated Series", and MY personal favorite non-anime animation "Justice League"!!

I think they need sailor moon and all the good shows that they used to have on toonami i mean come on some of the shows they play now r so GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank u 4 lisaning

-- Anonymous, December 22, 2002

Man, some of you people just bother me, just cause you like Japanime dosne't mean the rest of the world does. You must realize the network's only going to play what is watched, For Example, Johny Qwest has it's on slot at 1 or 2 am I fucking hate that show, but obviously there are a bunch that do like it. If you care so much for anime and think that theres nothing better than it, either 1. Move to Japan. 2. Stop Bitching and press for an all anime channel in which all the different cartoons can be played.
