[Adult Swim] is full of dicks

[Aerozord]

Last night a friend of mine hopped back online to share that "TOONAMI IS BACK" thrilled that they were running it and all the old shows. So I confirmed, was thinking thats awesome and then... I realized they started it at midnight, making it April 1st

This is way better than the last one I remember (which was just to run the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist with fart sounds throughout...though it did work pretty well, oddly enough).

Dude, I knew they Adult Swim was fulla dicks as soon as I learned of the Drinky Crow Show. And Squidbillies.

Anyways, what's there to miss about Toonami? Its not like the anime they hosted can't be seen in a million different places.

I've known they were dicks since Tim and Eric's Awesome Show. And sadly I missed the Toonami stuff last night on account of being so tired I passed out before midnight.

But it's the first place that a lot of us saw it. I remember watching the shit out of Toonami until they started showing "SD Gundam" or whatever that piece of shit cel-shaded Gundam show was.

Kyrtuck must be a young'n then to not have experanced Toonami.

Now, it was going on before the internet really took off like it did. Please keep that in mind.

This is undoubtedly Adult Swim's finest year ever, especially after last night.

Also, SD Gundam is the greatest of all Gundams. I don't wanna meet the man who doesn't love the Zako Zako Hour.

That was the only good part of the show.

I was born in 1990, of course I expirienced Toonami in its prime. My personal favorites were Thundercats, Sailor Moon, DBZ, Outlaw Star and Ronnin Warriors.

My point was that looking back, it didn't feel like it justified itself much outside of the shows it featured. I watch Svengoolie, which does a bunch of old ass black and white horror films. Yes, I can watch those same flicks in a million other places, but Svengoolie justifies itself with song parodies, interesting tidbits about cast and filming history, funny skits and commercial spoofs, and its own silly traditions, like rubber chickens being thrown at the host at the start and end of each episode.

Toonami didn't feel like it had much of its own memorable stuff. Did you honestly care about the drama of any of the Tom-bots? I didn't.

Hey I liked tom

but the point wasn't toonami as "toonami", after all it evolved into adult swim. the point, and what we missed, is what it delivered. Do you think any of us would have given Reboot a second look otherwise?

Besides, these are tv shows, I want to watch them on TV. Whole reason I dont watch TV anymore is because programming blocks like toonami are gone, now TV is just a hodgepodge of shows organized more by ratings than genre or demographics. The only way I can get a good 2 or 3 hour run of TV shows anymore is to go online and mix up my own playlist, because I'm certainly not going to stop my day for a single show followed by an hour of crap I dont care about before something else comes on.

Unless its Adventure Time, that is totally worth the effort
