Toonami Legacy: Toonami UK

[GrantM]

With all this talk about Toonami in the US, I'm not suprised that the UK Toonami is getting as much attention as it's US counterpart. All that the UK Toonami shows these days is Dragon Ball Z, Tenchi Muyo, Batman Of The Future, Gundam Wing, X-Men: Evolution and The Real Adventures Of Johnny Quest. And that's about it really, all I am asking is that Cartoon Network US should bring more of their Toonami shows to the UK. But it looks like Toonami UK is not doing as well as it's US counterpart

[Killtacular]

You don't want Toonami US's shows.

Besides, Adult Swim is potentially doing something very very not smart in February that could kill Toonami US anyway, making your Toonami superior.

[Sora Takenouchi]

I find it funny how the UK always gets the short end of the stick, yet also doesn't (a TOM plushie for anyone who can figure out what I mean :p )

Whoops!, what I was trying to say was about the lack of shows on Toonami UK and why that is not a good thing

[spaceghostc2c]

just answer me this: really, who cares about toonami in the uk??????

[Killtacular]

Uh, people that live in the UK?

[James Harvey]

I'm sometimes interested to the UK counterpart of Toonami. I like seeing how their's is different (and occasionally better) than the US Toonami. Not to long ago they had a great line up with Batman, Batman Beyond, DBZ and Sailor Moon that was much better thasn whatever the US Toonami had.

[GrantM]

Sailor Moon was never on the UK Toonami, shame too, because that means we never got to see the movies as well

[Ben]

"You don't want Toonami US's shows."

I can't see why they wouldn't want MSG, 08th, 0080, Blue Sub, Big O, Dragonball, Outlaw Star, and Reboot. Hey, Matt. The world isn't over yet.

[Discloner]

I was just checking out Toonami uk, @ Toonami UK (http://www.cartoonnetwork.co.uk/microsites/toonami/) and their LockDown doesn't start until May 13th. Do you think it will be diffrent from ours, i mean if they know whats going to happen it would kinda ruin the whole thing wouldn't it?

[HellCat]

I've been wondering why CN UK decided to kill the Toonami block a few months ago. They still show some action shows but only 3- BeyBlade (no thanks), DragonBall Z (it's ok) and Justice League ( :) ). But they used to show much more- Batman Beyond, Gundam Wing, Tenchi, X-Men Evolution. Why did they decide to get rid of it? I was thinking it might be related to their one showing of Blue Submarine 6. They showed the entire series one Friday night about a year ago. It went on for hours, so I doubt many people watched it. Anybody else got any input?

[Nitrowax]

That means toonaim is goon die here to ! muhahaha

Absolutely not true! Toonami is far from dead here!

I'm not sure why England Toonami was cancelled...If you want to know from the source, I would try E-mailing England CN, or mailing them...It's all i've got sorry.

[DarkMaster]

Maybe nem would know. What i heard from toonami realm though UK didn't have enough viewership. I don't know if that's true though.

[j32885]

Your probably right D.M., that Toonami of U.K. just might of not gotten enough viewers to watch the block, thus cancelling. Nem might have the reason for the cancellation of their Toonami block. :rolleyes:

I wounder how Toonami of Japan, Australia, and France are doing? :confused:

Toonami Australia's doing very well, last I heard. Which is why they even adopted Adult Swim last winter.

[Conan-san]

I have 2 words to sum it up verry nicely,
'Bey' and 'Blade'

And if the viewing figures were crud then why is DBZ still on?

Blue sub 6 kicked ass! i pesonaly doubt that caused it...

and as a last note thingy, they also had jhony quest.

DragonBall Z is obviously popular, hence why they still show it.

Gundam Wing probably did ok but not great, hence no more Gundam *is very thankful for US DVDs*

BS6 looked good from what I saw. But they showed it all in one go, which is alot to sit through

[Conan-san]

well, if Gundam wing fealed so misrably then why did they show endless waltz?

And besides, I think that the lack of anything but DBZ killed it.

Personaly i think that in the highly competitive world of uk anime.
(no im not joking), i think toonami would of sunk under the wiegt of Sci-fi's exelent (in anime content at least) Sekio-Exciting and Thursday night Animation

I meen come on people Neon Genisis Evangelion at 10:00am on a saturday, 8:00am on a Sunday. for cripes sake!

I didn't say that it did miserably. I said it probably did good but not great here. EW probably got aired because they knew that the GW fans would watch it and Bandai UK wanted to try and sell the EW toys and model kits. There's been discussion over at Gundam.com about why Gundam seems to have sadly failed here.

Yep, DBZ gets alot of air time *remembers the DragonBall Z Saga Sunday marathons*

And I agree that Saiko Exciting is a far better block. I don't care for SFG or the Sorigami bits, but am greatly enjoying Eva and Nadesico. Like you say, the fact that they can get away with stuff like Misato saying "Damn, he's a tricky b*****d!" at that time in the morning is amazing.

[Gundam_Warrior]

England sucks when it comes to TV. Being an American over here for almost 6 years has proven it. Our CN only has a handful of thing from the US Toonami or Adult Swims. We have DBZ, Gundam Wing (used too), Tenchi (Same), X-Men: Evalution (Which the repeated the same 16 episodes over & over), Real Adventures of Johnny Quest, Only the seasons 1 & 2 of Batman Beyond, Baby Blues and Home Movies. Then some good stuff get replaced by Beyblade and Cubix :mad: I think the Brits of cheap and want fix how the cable, satilites, and digital networks are ran over here. I also think it has to do with the shows rights as well. The only thing we've got before you was the second season of Jusice League and we get Evagelion, Nadesico, Blue Gender, and a hell of alot more unedited anime. Sorry for ranting but the truth most be said. I can't believe I missing He-Man.

Hmm, I forgot Cubix. My mind must have blocked it because of trauma :p It gets annoying how many times an episode they say "Yeah!", "Alright" and "Way to go, Cubix!"
I'd like to see X-Men:Evolution come back. I enjoyed it.

Over here there's also I-Channel and Action Channel which airs a lot of Japanese shows subtitled.

[Spiky_evil]

Toonami had some really good action shows, it was strange how they decided to kill it.

[Conan-san]

i dont think that the toonami in uk sit is getting any better anytime soon.

oh FYI Nadesico ep 10 (next week) fan-service ep in the stlye of cowboy bebop.

naturuly I will be there tape et all.

[William C. Maune]

I don't know if this will continue beyond this week, but I figure it is worth a shot since we do have British folks on the board. Anyone have comments on the idea of Toonami UK Talkbacks? On to the actual thread...

I just love figh-ting. This is the official talkback thread for the episodes of "Dragonball" premiering on Toonami UK October 6th through October 10th at 17.30 and 20.30. Would anyone like to comment on these episodes? It is the early days of the Dragonball universe so you don't even have to power up. While this thread covers the entire week please feel free to post about the episodes as they air!

You've seen "Dragonball Z" and "Dragonball GT," now see how it all got started. Goku's a kid, and well, so is everybody else (except for Master Roshi who is as old as always). The series isn't "kiddy" though. It's funnier than either of the other two series and still has plenty of action. The sagas are even short and sweet; this one is only 13 episodes long.

Spoilers: If the episode has already aired on Toonami UK you do not need to worry about using spoiler tags. If you would like to comment on episodes that have not yet aired on Toonami UK you will need to use spoiler tags due to the number of people who have not seen the rest of the series. Thank you!

Episode Titles:

Monday - 'Secret of the Dragonballs'
Tuesday - 'The Emperor's Quest'
Wednesday - 'The Nimbus Cloud of Roshi'
Thursday - 'Oolong the Terrible'
Friday - 'Yamcha the Desert Bandit'

Starting Tuesday october 7th 'Dragonball will also air from the beginning weekdays at 7.30

[HellCat]

I'm not sure if I'm going to watch or not. The video quality in the advert ranged from good to crap and then there's Goku's Blue Water voice...*shudders*

Personally, I welcome UK talkbacks. TZ as a whole seems to be very American centric and it's nice to see someone trying to do something for those of us who don't live in the US :)

[GrantM]

EDIT (several minutes later) - After finding out that the Blue Water dub is not as good as the FUNimation version, I'd rather skip this. Shame too I was really looking forward to seeing the original Dragon Ball series

Would have replied to this pre-edit, but for some reason my college put a ban on TZ. Regarding your pre-edit comment about the use of the words die/death/etc- Blue Water's GT dub used it, I'd be suprised if DB didn't.

I would still watch the series even though Blue Water dubbed it. Sure, Kid Goku's VA overacts and screams out every line, but since there is some stuff that Blue Water kept that FUNi edited, it's still worth watching. I mean all this Blue Water bashing has led one person to stop making clips of BWDB(www.Ocean-DB.net). Also, the horrible theme song and bad picture quality was taken from the French version.

[Conan-san]

I'm assuming that the series gets better as it goes (I meen it did last from 198whatever to 1997). I kninda don't mind Goku's Blue watter va. Bulma on the other hand....well, I'm not sold on yet and translation wasn't too rough. (Heck, they kept Goku's "Discovery" during his strip search and Bluma's accident at the end of the ep). I Dislike the op and the ed though I realy dont like Oecain's idea of the whole repeating "Dragonball" thing at least Rock the dragon had a beat....

I did notice one edit, Goku's "Tail Fishing".

[William C. Maune]

The "Dragonball" thread is getting a response so we will try this as well.

Why settle for one hero when you can have seven? This is the official talkback thread for the episodes of "Justice League" premiering on Toonami UK October 6th through October 10th at 18.30. Would anyone like to comment on these episodes? Season 2 brings higher stakes, bigger action and better villains. Can the JL handle it? While this thread covers the entire week please feel free to post about the episodes as they air!

Two season two episodes have been seen already in the U.S., but with the weekday airing you guys will catch up and pass up pretty quickly. You are only getting the first 5 two-parters for now though.

Spoilers: If the episode has already aired on Toonami UK you do not need to worry about using spoiler tags. If you would like to comment on episodes that have not yet aired on Toonami UK you will need to use spoiler tags due to the number of people who have not seen the rest of the series. Thank you!

Episode Titles:

Monday - 'Twilight of the Gods - Part 1'
Tuesday - 'Twilight of the Gods - Part 2'
Wednesday - 'Tabula Rosa - Part 1'
Thursday - 'Tabula Rosa - Part 2'
Friday - 'Only a Dream - Part 1'

[Space Cadet]

So, "Gods" have been changed to "Gogs" for the U.K.? :D We don't need a Teenage Mutant "Hero" Turtles repeat.

[William C. Maune]

Heh! Thanks for catching that, it is fixed now.

[Pepperidge]

Nobody made any threads for the Canadian broadcasts.

HMPH.

[G1Ravage]

17.30

LOL :p

[William C. Maune]

There is no thread for the Canadian broadcasts because there is no Toonami in Canada.

As for the 17.30, all my British schedule information has the times like that. I wasn't sure if you folks wrote the time different than us stateside so I just left it like that.

[Pepperidge]

Thank you for reminding me. :P

So where are WE supposed to talk about Dragon Ball?

[Son Gokuu]

I think I'll post two cents on this dub. To be perefctly honest I was dreding the day that DB would come over here ever since I heard BW dubbed it, and heck I was right, it wasn't that good. I found FUNi's better. Voice acting wise, Gokuu's voice is still as annoying, but of course Zoe Slusar can't act, Stephany Nadonly sounda more natural and she potrays the character better, I also thought Bulma's wasn't good, it was either me or her voice kept changing from quite to being too loud. Pilaf's voice sounds very fake I found Chuck Hubers better. The narrators was not bad but I think Brice Armstrong (FUNi's) was better, it was closer soung to that of Doc Harris. The picture quality wasn't clear either I could have done with digital remastering after all DB was first aired in February 1986 and it's almost 18 years old, but of course we have all heard that BW didn't bother to do any touching up at all there was quite a few scratches too, they should have cleaned it up and also the music, it was good to heard the original music but souneded unclear, at least FUNi cleaned the audio up too. Not forgetting the opening and closing themes-one word, CHEESY. Well thats my opinion.

[Pepperidge]

I'm pretty sure the tapes Blue Water uses were damaged and suffered major conversion problems.

[William C. Maune]

"So where are WE supposed to talk about Dragon Ball?"

The issue has never really come up. General Dragonball discussion is ok on this board no matter where it is airing since it is still the same show. With regards to discussion of specific episodes, or weeks of episodes, that are airing in Canada, at first glance it would go to the General Animation Board here at Toon Zone. In some respects though that would seem kind of silly and thus it might be allowed here. Until the situation actually comes up though I am not announcing any decision.

[Pepperidge]

What about the anime forum?

[Chad Bonin]

I'd say just throw it here, but chances are that's not what Jeff wants done.

[William C. Maune]

Doh! My bad, for now it would be the Anime forum, not the General Animation Board. Sorry for any confusion. However still, until a thread is made there specifically about Canadian Dragonball episodes and it starts getting a decent response, I'm not touching the issue.

[Conan-san]

Gah, they edited out two of the most curtail (and indeed funnyest) jokes! (Roshi's Panty related antics and the "Oh my! No balls!" joke) How can Blue watter get it right on so many levels (Blood kill etc) and wrong in so many others?

[Animation Otaku]

Well, those got editted out here too. It shouldn't be any surprise really, Toonami is targetted to kids.

[Pepperidge]

You may be pleasantly surprised with what they leave in in the Blue Water dub.

Of course, it barely makes up for the awful video quality.

[Yash]

Gah, they edited out two of the most curtail (and indeed funnyest) jokes! (Roshi's Panty related antics and the "Oh my! No balls!" joke) How can Blue watter get it right on so many levels (Blood kill etc) and wrong in so many others?

The no balls joke has been edited out've EVERY dub. Even the usually-uncensored Spanish version (which is odd, considering they left in the scene with Yamucha and Bulma in the sixth episode).

As for the BW dub, they use the French video, which means they have the same crappy visuals, less censorship and the god-awful opening. Note that they also used the French video for GT and the DBZ final four. (Y'know, I wish they would dub Z someday, even if the french opening sucked)

[HellCat]

Well, I finally watched an ep ("Yamcha, the Desert Bandit). Whilst I'd researched DB alot back when I was a bigger DBZ fan, it was still interesting to see how the series started out. I think in showing it AFTER Z and GT, certain reactions from the viewer are lost. We know where these characters are going to end up so when some of them, such as Yamcha today, show up as villains you're not that bothered. I was suprised they kept in the joke of Bulma giving Oolong the candy and the panty references (though at least one of those was present in the GT dub). As for the theme song- It's not that bad. Certainly not the best but TONS better then "Dragon, DragonBall......DRAGONBALL ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!". The worst part of it would have to be the clips that each have different video quality and don't seem to be chosen for any specific reason.
I'll maybe watch later episodes, but so far this isn't something I'd go out of my way to catch.

[Space Cadet]

Does anyone from the U.K. or someone know the schedule for the Toonami Network? I tried checking their official website, but they don't have a schedule.:rolleyes: I would like to see the shows they have.:)

[Carlos]

I don't know myself(I'm not from the U.K.), but maybe William C. Maune knows or some of the U.K. posters(HellCat, etc.).

[William C. Maune]

I have access to it, but unfortunately it isn't in an easily postable form. I may be able to answer specific questions about it though. The response might take about a day though, law school is keeping me really busy.

[Discloner]

Yeah, I was thinking about adding those schedules to my site...but...not being in England kind of makes things harder, and trying to sort through loads of pages for 24/7 programming is no easy task by any stretch of the imagination...so for now I've abandoned the idea.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

If either of you guys would give me a link to the info (its PDF right?) I could probably type it up for all the masses to view.

Its not like I dont type up schedules every week anyway.

[William C. Maune]

You don't want to type up this PDF file, it's like 45 pages.

[Discloner]

Not to mention slightly confusing. It could be laid out in a much more easier manner, but they opted for the confusing, long, and extremely daunting way.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

DANG :eek:

And to think the UK Toonami doesn't even air that many shows...

A lot of us probably have a PDF file reader. Do you think you could give us a link to the file? Or if its not online, upload it? Or is it just to big for that?

[William C. Maune]

It's really too bad also since it has about all the information you could ever want. Yet, it's designed in such a way that no one can really do anything with it.

I'd really like to promote the Toonami network more. I'd post the schedule here and at Infolink, but they don't make it easy on us.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Okay how about this...

What is currently on the schedule (as in all the shows if it wouldn't be too difficult to find on that unholy schedule of doom)

[William C. Maune]

A lot of us probably have a PDF file reader. Do you think you could give us a link to the file? Or if its not online, upload it? Or is it just to big for that?

January's file is 1.5 MB, thus I unfortunately can't upload it. I don't know if I can safely link to the file. It's at a site intended for the press and I'm afraid they might pull the info if a bunch of people started downloading it.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Gotcha... thanks anyway.

[William C. Maune]

Each show with it's own synopsis side by side on entire pages. This list here only covers 2 days, the full list covers up to the 30th.

[William C. Maune]

That's quite impressive Discloner, it would have taken me forever to type up all that.

I did post a month's schedule at Infolink one time. Tyler ran the PDF file through something that generated a raw text dump for me and then after filtering it a couple times I got a usable format. It was still just one extremely long file though.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Domo Arigato Mr. Discloner, great jorb putting up that there schedule.

Is GT only on once a day? Seems like it got the shaft compared to DB and DBZ...

That's a ton of repeats...

The MASK isn't really an action show...

Did they lose Tenchi and Gundam Wing? I think they were sick of them but they were probably two of the best shows on the network.

Justice League airs back to back eh? That's pretty cool. I wonder what they do with 3 episode arcs? Maybe they replace a show to keep it together.

William, do you know if CN UK will be airing Clone Wars at the same time as Toonami UK? Or will it be exclusive to Toonami?

[William C. Maune]

"Star Wars: Clone Wars" is exclusive to the Toonami Network. Cartoon Network UK doesn't show much in the way of action cartoons, although they may still air Beyblade.

That's only 2 days of the January schedule. There is a different weekend schedule and sometimes the weekday schedule is different on different days of the week. It's pretty messed up.

[HellCat]

"Star Wars: Clone Wars" is exclusive to the Toonami Network. Cartoon Network UK doesn't show much in the way of action cartoons, although they may still air Beyblade.


Well, about a week after they ran on Toonami, the CW shorts appeared on CN UK. They used the same promos, only edited any mention of Toonami to CN. Possible they'll do it again. As for Beyblade- I believe it will join Toonami when the hype dies down. Its getting the treatment DBZ used to get. DBZ was moved to really draw attention to Toonami but moving Beyblade right now would likely lose CN alot of ratings (from a business side, it seems a bad move to put just about all their action shows on a seperate channel).

[William C. Maune]

Thanks for the Clone Wars clarification. I need to check my info better!

Wow, thanks Discloner!:) I can't believe the Ripping Friends is on the network.:eek: I betcha once Big O arrives it'll probably be put in primetime on Sunday, it's a high-profile show.

Hyper Luigi, it seems you didn't make a schedule. Is there a limit to the schedule pimp?:p

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Funny you should mention that...

I came up with a projected Toonami US Network schedule for March 2005.

I have a good plan for a schedule for April 2004. Perhaps I shall type it up.

Go right ahead.:D

[Andrew T. Hingson]

That's a "biggie sized" can of worms you just opened... ;)

[Chad Bonin]

That's less "biggie sized" and more like "who the hell needs 64 ounces of Coca-Cola from 7-11"...

[Dragonamy]

They should put the mask and ripping friends on Cartoon network! Toonami should be just for anime shows not those cartoons >.<

They need to show more animes and definatly bring Tenchi back. I miss that show ;_;

[Chad Bonin]

Well, if that's not the biggest misconception of Toonami...

[William C. Maune]

To clarify, Toonami is for the best action cartoons, not the best anime cartoons.

[Chad Bonin]

Batman: TAS and Thundercats have been as welcome on Toonami as much as Dragonball Z and Gundam Wing.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I dedicate this schedule to Marzak for inspiring me to waste part of my afternoon making this fantasy schedule...

THE FAQ - Yes I wrote one... its below this, but you knew that... You know its sad when I need to explain everything because of how percise I like my schedules.

FRIDAY PRIME TIME - A combo of SVES and Friday Toonami on CN. This gets repeated many times throughout the weekend for a two reasons...
1) It should be on often enough for people to see it.
2) Hyper Luigi teh suck at making schedules for Saturdays and Sundays (Sunday looks more thought out though)

THE TOM & SARA SHOW - Along the lines of Space Ghost C2C. It would include exclusives interviews, music videos, game reviews, video reviews, action animation news (including anime of course), and previews of up coming Toonami stuff.

THE CLASSICS - I find classics to be UBER important. So I devote SUNDAY to Boomerang action staples (and SWAT Cats which doesn't seem to be on either CN or Boomerang unless I'm mistaken) and early mornings I have some more classics and KotZ because it technically is classic, but not in the states. Speaking off...

KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC - It's not a terrific show here, but I figure its better to put it early in the mornings and run it every day then shoved in with the premeires. Its only a matter of time because CN pulls the plug on KotZ... So it would basically be like if it was running in syndication at 6:30 in the morning. It should make the KotZ fans happy to be able to watch it at a not completely horrible time (I'm up by 6:30 every weekday) and have it more than once a week (it is a VERY long series afterall).

DOULBE DIP'N - Dragonball Z and Yu Yu Hakusho are very popular so I put them at a time that kids would watch and a time that older folks could watch. If I had my druthers the evening run would be UNCUT but that would require some negotiations with FUNi. SD Gundam gets two airings a day because of its popularity as well. Detective Conan gets two airings because I think it works good as a cap to the line-up. The really weird stuff is in the middle (but towards the later hours) and then I finish off with Kikaider and Detective Conan because they are a bit more how shall I say this... Kid friendly than the likes of REIGN and Blue Gender.

POWER HOURS - You may have noticed that Yu Yu Hakusho, Kenshin, Inuyasha, Dragonball Z, and Justice League are all in hour spots. For the animes, I did this because they are long series and popular ones. For JL I did it because the show is cooler with its hour long episodes.

WHERE ARE POKEMON AND YU-GI-OH!??? - I know some people like them but they get aired enough as it is and I don't consider either of them really action shows. They could be filler programing at some point but they aren't nessesary.

WHERE ARE THE SPIES??? - Totally Spies is an entertaining show but its on CN enough as it is. If this channel could get Sailor Moon back and maybe card captors... then they could put together a block with those three and PPG, but as for now such a block would be too small to be worth showing... especially since TS plays twice a day on CN.

SAILOR MOON, TENCHI, OUTLAW STAR, REBOOT, VOLTRON, ROBOTECH, RONINS, OTHER GUNDAMS??? - Sadly CN doesn't have the rights to several of their greatest Toonami shows. Maybe if the channel does well then WS could pick back up some of them. I for one really want to see Gundam Wing, 08th MS Team, Sailor Moon, and Voltron again... I'd say the two most likely to be called back on board would be Gundam Wing and Sailor Moon because of their phenominal success.

WHY AM I WRITING IN ALL CAPS? - Because its fun silly... why else? :p

[Dragonamy]

*cheers for those seven animes mentioned* Well, don't mind me, I just love animes and not fond of cartoons like the mask anymore ;)

[Space Cadet]

Wow, Hyper Luigi, you do well, you do well(catch that reference. It's from a video game).:D

[Carlos]

KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC - It's not a terrific show here, but I figure its better to put it early in the mornings and run it every day then shoved in with the premeires.

Well, the T.V. series is 114 episodes plus some brand spanking new OVA's and a movie coming out this year. Maybe you could switch DiC's version with ADV's. Keep in mind though that the uncut version is VERY bloody for a Shonen Jump title, so it might work on Adult Swim. Also, no series dedicated to Matt Wilson or KnuxFive?:eek: ;) :p :(

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I caught the reference. Dang Recoome... he's so annoying in Budokai I and II.

I'd love for WS to get ahold of Saint Seiya but its in ADV's hands so it wouldn't be easy.

[Space Cadet]

I caught the reference. Dang Recoome... he's so annoying in Budokai I and II.


I'm must admit he was annoying in the Tournament part of it, but story mode, he was easy. Sabat did a good impersonation of the Ocean voice, though.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

That was Sabat? Wow that was a good impression.

Its funny that Recoome usually says that when you knock him out of the ring or kill him. Yeah I do well... I handed you your fat butt royally!

I will post my Duel Masters UK Talkback by midday GMT.

[Cheesecake]

Remember kids, slapping people is bad, 10 year old boy underwear fetishes are good!

[Duke]

The best episode out of the first 5 is definately "Ash Catches a Pokémon," as Caterpie is cool, even though Pidgeotto still gets no respect.

[Conan-san]

Remember kids, slapping people is bad, 10 year old boy underwear fetishes are good!You taking about ep 1's edits and other lines? Yeah, that was funny too how it was obvious that Misty had slaped him.

It's even worse in Ash Catches a... when you hear the slap but have Misty tearing Ash a new one verberly.

Though, the underwear thing was motherly conceren, deal with it.

Still, the music in that scene where Ash is going to be pecked to death by that flock of Sperow is still touching after all these years. Realy need to find the mp3 of that...

[Cheesecake]

Though, the underwear thing was motherly conceren, deal with it.


nope, it was never in the japanese version at all, but in the english dubb Ms.Ketchum asks about his underwear every single time..the producers must have a little boy underwear fetish or something, my mother never aske dme a million times about underwear:sad:

[lostrune]

Well, there's the saying in English to always wear clean underwear in case they have to examine your body after a fatal incident. :D

i think you mean fatal "accident"

[Space Cadet]

What type of promos did Toonami UK do for this show?

[Conan-san]

only ones to tell when it was on as part of it's schedule, nothing else too big...

[lostrune]

i think you mean fatal "accident"

It may not be an accident. Besides, an "accident" is still a subset of an "incident." :D

Personal recomendations for this week include the Maccarana Joke in Ep 6, the Water Flower sisters (in general) and the Background Gag with Pikachu in EP 9 (Also that eps introfuction was fun too)

[Duke]

The very first episode of Pokémon I ever saw is here: "Clefairy and the Moon Stone." Sure, Seymour was butchered, but it was still a fun episode. I particularly like the double battle of Ash & Brock vs. James & Jessie. The Gym Battles were OK, but not excellent. Pidgeotto is denied its first Gym Battle win. Oh, and Giselle's awesome. :cool:

MIne was ep 1, the music at teh end where Ash was going to be "Spearowed" so to speak was very touching.

[gamer_uk]

I think that this shows that Pokemon is officially dead in the U.K. After about 5 years on Sky One in a prime 4 PM slot , it is stuck on Toonami with absolutely no hoopla whatsoever, even I was surpised when I saw it. Also it is in a virtually dead slot of 3 PM when no one is home, everyone is either walking back or still at school. The other slot at 8.30 is just after alot of children leave for school, which makes me think that Pokemon is being marketed towards the pre-schoolers this time round. T'is a shame as I was enjoying watching Advanced Generation.

[Cheesecake]

" The clafary get together,pray to the moonstone and.....Do the Makerana!":sweat:

gotta love those western injokes:D

One thing that confuses me is in "Water flowers of cereulean city" when brock and Ash are sitting on that bench just fater nealry being arrested by that mentally psycotic nurse joy. Brock gets up and sais "he has to go away by himself to do..stuff" and when Ash asks him what "stuff" he is doing Brock replies "Just stuff.." and he then re-appears aty the very end of the epeisode and doesnt say and no more is said about where he;d been or what he had done..nothing at all ever happened like that again in Pokemon..

So where the hell did Brock go?:sad:

And besides that, I was too transfixed on misty's sisters to pay any attention to good ol' Takeshi.

That's my feelings as well. I think Pokemon (excluding the games) and anime in general is pretty much dead in the UK. It's likely because it didn't get the big push it did in the US.

I will admit it, I did like that joke and the "Vikings" joke in MSB. It wasn't in the original, but still made me laugh.

Yea, that weirded me out too. It'd be one thing if he said "I'm going to go get supplies" or something...

[James Bester]

pokemon 1st season was good, but the stupid team rocket gets defeated plot got old by the orange league.

[Mini Dragon]

i saw all of these episodes here in canada. back when i liked pokemon a lot i found most of these episodes great. now, when i bearly watch this new season i say "meh".

but i need to admit, i did like a lot of the clssic episodes like the ones you are mentioning now. the claffary (?) one i hated though. i hate the voice i hated the story. the rest were pretty good.

Yea, that weirded me out too. It'd be one thing if he said "I'm going to go get supplies" or something...
i think he just didnt want to see the gym battle or something. maybe went to find mysty (?) i thought of something when i first saw the episode but i forget now.

[Conan-san]

Yeah, you read the title correctly. Toonami UK will be showing Reruns,not a new anime, not G revolution, not V Force but the orgaiaonal Beyblade sereies on Toonami UK next Saturday onwords @ 5pm. This imho repesents a *****-slap to those who thought "Hey, Big-O might of been the start of somthing with Toonami UK"

Though imho, I can't realy call it too much of a surptize I bet two people (Including me) watched Big O during it's run and Toonami went whith what was comercaily Viable.

[Lord Dalek]

Man.... That bites.

[Chad Bonin]

Hasn't Toonami UK been airing Beyblade?

[HellCat]

Hasn't Toonami UK been airing Beyblade?
Both dubs (original and V-Force) have aired on CN, with the third series starting on CN on Saturday. The series has gotten the same treatment DBZ used to get before it was moved to then CNX to encourage ratings.

I wish Toonami UK would give the older demographic more attention. They've shown that they can handle it.

[Conan-san]

Both dubs (original and V-Force) have aired on CN, with the third series starting on CN on Saturday. The series has gotten the same treatment DBZ used to get before it was moved to then CNX to encourage ratings.
The "Piss everybody off so much that when new episodes do arive they'll swarm around it" Tactic?

What they can't handle, however, is the amout of ratings the Older Deographic gives them.

[Pepperidge]

Jesus Christ, is this what CNX has become? You'd think they were a Canadian station or something!

Well, don't worry man.. hopefully you'll get Gundam SEED this year.

The problem is that anime hasn't got a full push here as it has in the US. Compare our Toonami to the US one- that one speaks to the fans and makes them feel like their part of something. You just have to look at the posters here to see how effective that's been. Toonami UK and the UK anime industry don't do that. The shows are simply just aired and expected to promote themselves. DVDs and manga are generally only found online or in comic book shops, creating a 'nerd' image for fans which doesn't really attract alot of new blood. ADV UK seem to be the only company here at the moment trying to change things. Bandai would rather discreetly have French produced DVDs of their titles trickle in whilst they focus on making money off of the lastest Power Rangers installment.

If your talking abuot YTV then the words "I freaking wish" bear to mind, Uncut Inuyasha, actuly geting to see [that shojo show] R, S and SS. The canadians get it freking well better than we do. about 99 % of the stuff that is dubed for an english audiance in terms of dubed anime does NOT make it over here, and that includes Gundamn so forget that too...

[Son Gokuu]

Like I said, we suck.

True, we definatley do. Toonami is just like the government, making too many promises, and yet it turns out it's all a lie. The promised it would be better than CNX focusing more on animé, as if we are to belive that!

Again ture, let's face everywhere else in the world gets more animé than us, we're years behind, I don't think Toonami is really interested in the viewers if you ask me.

I also agree with you HellCat about the image of animé here. It has in fact two images, one is the "nerd" image as you described, that can be ordered on the internet or seen in comic book shops, the UK masses are saying it's for nerds and people who haven't got a life, which of course we know is bollocks. The other is the "kiddy" image, mention animé to someone and they might say "oh you mean Pokémon, that's kids stuff". As we all know animé is universal and can be enjoyed by anyone of all ages. But I don't think Toonami are going to realise that.

[Duke]

You people need to move over here to North America. Be with us! See TOM3 and Sara2 on television! Participate actively in the main Talkbacks! (Instead of providing info and analysis later on.) Watch Adult Swim! See Transformers Energon very early in the morning!

I get a mix of both. My sister is terrible for underestimating what anime can do, but she has agreed to watch Gundam 0080 soon so hopefully she'll be 'enlightened' soon. Outside of the house, I meet alot of people who are misinformed. It seems DBZ is one of the main talking points to these people. I've heard such false statments as it was an adult show in Japan to sex scenes being cut out (me thinks someone has taken Tyler's letter page too seriously). I'm lucky that one of my friends is also a knowledgable fan. He's helping me see Naruto (I'm currently up to the preliminaries of the third exam. Please, I HATE spoilers).

I think that ADV should go and actuly use thier ties to Sci-fi UK to some use by showing some of thier more child-friendly anime (I would certantly get up to see King of Bandit Jing) I meen I can't see how THAT could possibly fail. ADV get more awareness, Sci-fi get more viewers, god is in his heaven and all is right in the world *ZING!*

Damn it, I can't really move either, and I know Toonami is beeter than it is here, but I'm in the middle of my driving lessons, and I'm only used to manual gears :sweat:, I also don't have much money!

But if I can, you got it right HellCat, Duke will have to pay for First Class, and when we say "First" we don't mean buses:anime:!

Come to think of it would an Adult Swim work here in the UK? But then who am I kidding with Toonami , with them It'll be more Pokemon and Beyblade and Duel Masters.

Yeah, "Adult Swim" here would be Pokemon, Beybalde and Duel Masters with Radondom swearing :/

[HellCat]

I get the feeling there are people at CN UK who seriously want to do stuff on the same level as their US counterpart. Jeff has said they contacted him for his input on CNX and we did very briefly get AS Comedy. It seems they're being drowned out by ratings and those who want to stick to the safer strategy of covering the CN channels with constant KidsWB repeats. This is the same channel which gave us AKA Cartoon Network, a prototype AS years ago. The same channel that aired Home Movies and Baby Blues at 7pm uncensored. Someone knows what we want but is having trouble getting it.

[bigddan11]

I'll have you know though that CN UK is getting the first run of GRevolution even if it is on Saturday and Sunday mornings, so that means they must have some pretty good success with Beyblade overall to get it before even YTV (which affiliates alot with nelvana). Of course we do get the first 6 episodes here in the US on DVD next month.

No, it would be Big O, Gundam Wing, Powerpuff Girls, and Shaman King. It'd start at 1AM, obviously.

[William C. Maune]

This was mentioned in Mysteryinfoman's Toonami Comic-Con thread, but I decided to break it out into its own thread so our friends in the UK would be sure to see it. It may not be more good anime like you all are hoping for, but rest assured, Megas XLR is definitely a Toonami worthy show!

[HellCat]

I'll probably give it a shot, but it'll probably be another show that will be repeated too much on a limited number of episodes. It's nice to hear that the US is keeping tabs on the UK, but couldn't they share some of the rest of their shows with us?

[Conan-san]

Who wants to bet that it will have one run before it get's shafted in favour of another damned ****** made for TV dub anime or some incrediably dumb Action cartoon?!

[William C. Maune]

I don't think there is as much chance of that happening this time since it is actually a series owned by TimeWarner and not an acquisition.

[Conan-san]

I don't think there is as much chance of that happening this time since it is actually a series owned by TimeWarner and not an acquisition.
*Humphs* There's no garntee of such a show staying on the Toonami UK channel, for example, I bleave that Big O sereis 2 was partly owned by TimeWarner was it not?

And besides that, the time of me haveing any fath in the brodcasters here is long gone, you know where I'm going with this in my 200th or so rendidion of how we never got Digimon Frountear and [that shojo show] s and ss, but that pritty much shattered any remining fath.

Good Childrens programing in great brittin Died with The Childrens Channel.

There, my tantrum is done.

[wrenchien]

already in mexico's cartoon network mexico, they've aired the premiere episode of megas xlr.. i saw it once while visiting with the family of my mom's boyfriend.. i don't think anything imagewise really was cut out from the mexican dub of the first premiere episode, or the script really altered in the translation to spanish, but it was nice to see koop appear in a interstetial where all the cartoon cartoons are watching.. and he slides right in there after getting some snax or something.

[Space Cadet]

No, Sunrise owns it all of it. I knew it was a matter of time before Toonami UK got Megas XLR. At least you're getting some new content.

Oh, so they have a whole channel devoted to Toonami in the U.K.? Well, it's not like the shows you get are necessarily bad, it just seems like there's way too many repeat showings. If you guys just got Gundam Seed and Yu Yu Hakusho you wouldn't really be missing anything. Have any of the Gundam shows aired over there? And be thankful you don't get Rave Master. Why do they call Batman Beyond Batman of the Future?

It's basically Toonami in name only, as you should be able to tell by the schedule. We got one Gundam show- Wing. Bandai treated the franchise like crap here and allowed it to die so they could concentrate on Digimon, Power Rangers and those awful Bratz. As for BB, it seems to be a legal issue.

[Conan-san]

In layman's terms, it's more equivinlt to a kick to the groin than a channel.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

But I'd love to have that crap none the less. Of course some shows we wouldn't have... but there are also many shows that we have that you don't so the schedule (as I've shown many times) would be easy to fill).

That's still uncut Outlaw Star isn't it? But not uncut Big O.

Samurai Jack on weekdays is nothing to scoff at either...

But what we long for is usually what you are sick of.

I wonder why you don't have Batman, Superman, and The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. Time Warner owns those afterall and you could obviously use some more variety. Is there anyone you can write to about channel?

You could really use some movies on that schedule.

And where is the love for old skool in the UK? (then again US television doesn't love old skool much these days either).

I'm sorry you don't get Yu Yu Hakusho, Kenshin (well we don't have that now either), and Gundam Seed. Maybe you could get them some day.

I thought you guys got SD Gundam in the UK. Doesn't it air anywhere?

Season 2 of Big O is uncut. For season 1 we get the Toonami cut.

Sky currently have the rights for BTAS and it's spinoffs, STAS and Zeta Project. Toonami have the rights to BB, JL, SS and Teen Titans. We did have TRAOJQ for a while but I believe it's been removed.

I agree that we could use some more movies. The only ones they seem to have our ROTJ and Blue Submarine 6.

There's a rumour we may get SEED and .hack//SIGN, since they've had European English DVD releases.

We don't get SD. I wouldn't be suprised if we did, it's about the only Gundam show that Bandai UK would be able to understand.

[Conan-san]

You have to understand, Hyper-Sensei that that's been the shedule practicly since Big-O started.

About five months ago.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

That's the same schedule you've had since that long ago? Dang man... what a joke. I'd still find something to watch on it though.

BTW, is there any method to how the episodes are aired? Do you have to watch every showing of DBZ in a day because they are in order or do they air seperate runs and the different times? I would think the back to back episodes would be in order while the single spots would be on a seperate run.

[Conan-san]

have it my way (Licence and company stupididty aside) It would look like this

[The Morning Run]
06:00 Ultimate Muscle
06:30 Pokémon
07:00 SD Gundam
08:00 Zoids (Chaotic Century, /zero, Fuzors)
08:30 X-Men: Evolution

Accordine to Tuner Eurpoes website it says Megas XLR is coming in September, they must have pushed it ahead then! Other good news for those who like Tenchi in the UK is that it'll be back on around Nov/Dec. Let's hope that Toonami UK can get some more animé and improve themselves.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

You guys get Tenchi again eh? That's good.

MEGAS sooner is excellent news. I hope you enjoy it.

Man... I'd kill for a Toonami channel.

Meh, I don't much care for Tenchi. It has it's fans and I can respect that, but I'd say Nadesico is a better anime sci-fi comedy romance. Plus, it's yet another show that has had several runs since the CNX days.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

You know you should be happy with what you get man. Apparently everything is too overplayed to be worth watching anymore in the UK eh? But we'd kill to see some of those shows again... much less to have a Toonami channel. Even if it's not a great one. It would still be more interesting to watch than CN durring the daytime.

But why should I or anyone else in the UK be happy that all we're getting is the same old re-runs of old shows over and over? You keep saying you'd love to see a channel like this in the US- that's the problem. You're looking at what we get as a US fan, who has had these shows and more when for us in the UK this is all we get. YOU may not have seen them for a while, WE keep getting them.

[Conan-san]

We are of the what I like to call "Fead till we're sick of it" class

To wit;
we get shows so much that we are sick of it and we get them again and again, ad-nauium.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I undestand that much. I liked Teen Titans at first but it's so overplayed... Now I can only stand to watch premieres.

And well you know how overplayed SD Gundam all things Dragonball have been here thanks to rants on this board.

Still I wouldn't mind endless reruns if it was a good show... but I understand the longing for fresh material. I've turned to manga for that I guess since television just isn't pulling it's weight (other than Toonami that is).

[Paul_Cousins]

I don't think there is as much chance of that happening this time since it is actually a series owned by TimeWarner and not an acquisition.
Tell that too Big O (which CN co-funded the second season). ;)

[Sprocket]

I hope the Irish company that owns the Slushee trademark doesn't find out about the use of their name when Megas comes over to the UK, or there may be litigation.

Yes, there is a Slushee company. In Waterford, Ireland.

http://www.slushee.com/

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Well they only used the name in the title. Otherwise they called it a MEGA SLUSH. Which should be acceptable.

I wonder if you guys will just get the 13 episodes of season 1 or maybe part or all of season 2 as well. It should be done by then I believe. And you tend to get things in whole chunks unlike us... where CN likes to break things off for whatever reason. Such as Samurai Jack and Teen Titans which finish their previous seasons this year on Toonami.

[HellCat]

There's a promo running to hype their September premiers-

Transformers:Energon (starts Sept 6th)
Megas XLR (starts Sept 6th)
DragonBall- Piccolo Saga (starts Sept 6th)
Clone Wars Special (all the eps, behind the scenes interviews and a competition) (starts Sept 13th)

[Space Cadet]

So this promo is an original to Toonami UK? Energon probably will be put in the afternoon or morning to bring in the children. Over here, it's on in the early morning. Megas XLR will probably be put in prime time since it's a CN US original(and maybe more promos). Heh, I guess Dragonball is still going over there. How's the Blue Water dub?

I believe so. We saw better in the CNX days though (the Aku promo and DBZ Sims). Ending it with Clone Wars was a smart move as it ends the promo with Dooku's "Impressive". How's the Blue Water dub? Allow me to ram this icepick into your eye as a demonstration.

[Master Moron]

So, do they keep the original music in Dragonball in the U.K. version? For us in the U.S. Dragonball was the one Dragonball series where we got the original music.

I'm going to guess that next year in terms of new shows, Toonami UK will or hopefully get:

-Justice League Unlimited

-The Batman

-Gundam SEED(a long shot, but it could happen)

-The Venture Brothers(the show hasn't aired yet on AS, but judging from the preview, it has enough action to be put on Toonami UK)

-Inu-Yasha(surprised it isn't even on over there)

-Fullmetal Alchemist(another long shot)

Yeah, they keep it in the U.K.

[Master Moron]

You know, now that I think about it, Funimation doesn't really deal with the U.K. at all right? So, there's probably no way you'll get Yu Yu Hakusho unless another company dubs it, right?

[Son Gokuu]

Tell me about it. Bloody Blue Water lurvin' Toonami UK. Anything thats dubbed by FUNi we don't get anymore, as you with anything Dragonball related we have to put up with "groovy funky Blue Water" :rolleyes: :yawn: . But I hope things change. Better still I hope there is a change IF the FUNimation channel does happen that we get it in the UK too.

About Dragonball, I only watched a few eps and turned it off - couldn't stand to hear more of Slusars whiney voice. About Inu-Yasha, hmm you do have a point there-talking in King Kais voice. But I'm pretty damn sure there was talk of Toonami showing it last year. But I think at this rate it's gonna be a few years if they don't get a move on. By then, we would already be in the Ice Age.

It's Toonami all day. It's not like it becomes Adult Swim at night or anything.

JLU and Batman are huge "DUUUUUH!s" for that network. If they don't put them on someone's missing a few bolts.

[Pepperidge]

But I believe Outlaw Star aired on Toonami UK uncut for a short period after the switch over from CNX, as well as some (short lived) AS comedies. It would be a bit of a departure, but IY and FMA could fit on the station. And besides, I hear Squenix is really trying to push FMA in Europe as well, and Toonami UK seems to be just about the only place it's likely to show up... well, except maybe Sci-Fi.

I think the reason Inuyasha hasn't aired in the UK is because nobody even owns the rights to it there. After all, Viz can't distribute things outside of North America.

The Blue Water Dragon Ball dub is terrible. There's less censorship and the voices grow on you after a while, but the opening theme (http://www.pathea.com/features/canada/omake/db-canadian.mov) is absolutely horrendous and it has some of the worst video quality imaginable. (Not only is it unremastered, but the source material is clearly damaged.) Give me FUNi's version any day.

Enjoy (or...don't enjoy, whiever you prefer) Energon at a decent timeslot while you can. If it bombs like it did in America, it probably won't last in a good timeslot very long...


What do you mean by "competition" for Clone Wars, by the way?

The promo didn't specify, but I'd say it's a safe bet it'll be a competition to win Star Wars DVDs and games.

At last a Toonami UK schedule that's entirely readable.

What's with starting at such wacky times after 9PM?

Less advertising, so shows end sooner. The later you get, the less advertising. It ends up being just CN/Toonami promos.

[Duke]

What in the world is Chris Colorado?

[HellCat]

What in the world is Chris Colorado?
French/Canadian show set in the future, after the world was hit by meteors. Humanity has managed to rebuild pretty well but are under threat by a cult called The Brotherhood of Phanatos. The title character secretly works for the government since he's looking for the truth about his father who apparently betrayed them to Phanatos.

[Zach Williams]

Static Shock, Ultimate Muscle, Batman of the Future already. I would pay to see this on US Toonami.Plus Pokemon, Beyblade and X-Men: Evolution on Toonami too, sweet.:D

[Pepperidge]

I hear they air Outlaw Star uncut. If that's true, you really have to wonder why they don't just air Cowboy Bebop again like they did when the station was CNX.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Static Shock, Ultimate Muscle, Batman of the Future already. I would pay to see this on US Toonami.Plus Pokemon, Beyblade and X-Men: Evolution on Toonami too, sweet.:D
Oh heck no. You didn't just say you wanted Beyblade on US Toonami did you? Leave this board and never come back.

[Master Moron]

Oh heck no. You didn't just say you wanted Beyblade on US Toonami did you? Leave this board and never come back.

I think Ultimate Muscle on Toonami would be equally as bad. No 4 Kids dubs until they get their act together.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

4kids' act if just as good a FUNimation's DBGT. Shaman King got a pretty good dub IMO and One Piece looks even more promising. None the less... nothing that premeired once a week in the recent past should be on Toonami since that'd be a waste of space overall. JCA was "okay" because those episodes were from quite a while back.

[Duke]

I don't really mind TAJ/Mercury Productions when they do RightStuf or Central Park Media releases, but their 4Kids releases just aren't as good. Maybe it's the scripts...

[Brent Long]

Hellcat are they airing new episodes of Dragon Ball?

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Gee ya think?

Shaman King had too many mistranslations and pointless censorship to go as a good dub. I'd say it's average at best.

I think 4Kids Entertainment changing the name of Tokyo Mew Mew AGAIN (to Mew Mew Power specifically).

While we're on the topic of 4Kids, there'll be a One Piece preview this week.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Probably just the theme song but hopefully more than that.

[Yash]

Probably just the theme song but hopefully more than that.
I'm expecting a full episode like they did with Shaman King and Sonic X.

[HellCat]

Hellcat are they airing new episodes of Dragon Ball?
We start the Piccolo saga next month. It's hard to say wether they consider DB a big deal. I think they expected it to do well but the old animation and lack of stuff like SSJ hasn't gotten alot of interest. The trilogy could really have taken off here if certain things were handled better (better continuity with the dubs, not making the first wave of action figures Gohan, Trunks, Goten and Vegeta from the Buu Saga along with packs of smaller figures kids have never heard of since they're from the films...)

[Brent Long]

So they're airing promos for it already? Also you said the Piccolo saga, then that means that Fortuneteller Baba and the 22nd Tournament have aired as well, because at YTV in Canada they got up to episode 68 right before the Fortuneteller Baba Saga begins. Also are their any notable things about the dub? i always was interested in it but nobody made anymore clips and Ocean DB has shut down.

[William C. Maune]

Thanks for the UK schedule! It's always an interesting read and as mentioned earlier in the thread, it can be hard to come by a usable version.

As far as I've seen just a general September promo. We do get individual saga promos but they're nothing that great and neither is the dub itself. Bad video quality and bad acting combined.

Even though Shaman King's scripts are written by the people at TAJ/Mercury (are they still TAJ, because the Kuromi DVD called them Mercury Productions), I believe the 4Kids brass forces them to make the mistranslations. Actually, their best dub, translation-wise, is Pokémon. Except for cutting of some sexual innuendo (and adding some at other times), and re-writing Team Rocket's jokes (most of which don't work in English), it's a pretty good translation.

I sincerely doubt 4Kids will change the name after the headache with the last one. It's like Miramax with Kill Bill.

Where exactly will this One Piece preview be shown?

[Yash]

That's what the FoxBox said.

That's what the FoxBox said.
You're talking to somebody who hasn't watched the FoxBox since April.


Where else? The FoxBox, duh :p
Well, I thought it was going to be a sneak peek like the other shows, not a full epsiode, so I was asking which show will have the sneak peek.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Back on the subject of Toonami UK. It's more than ever a shame not to have a Tooanmi channel here when CN is thinking of converting Boomerang into a channel for pre-schoolers... I mean seriously... If they do that then they'd better make a Toonami channel or at least an Adult Swim channel (since that would likely be more profitable).

[Master Moron]

4kids' act if just as good a FUNimation's DBGT.

Unfortunately that's not very good at all.


Shaman King got a pretty good dub IMO and One Piece looks even more promising.

I agree that One Piece "looks promising" but we really can't tell jack just from the translated opening. Remember Sailor Moon used a translated opening(kindof) and the dub of that, in general, sucked. Also Hamtaro uses a direct trranslation of the Japanese opening and endings and I've heard that they still change the in show music, though my actual knowledge of Hamtaro is fairly limited since I don't give a rat's ass about it.

[Tash]

Also Hamtaro uses a direct trranslation of the Japanese opening and endings and I've heard that they still change the in show music, though my actual knowledge of Hamtaro is fairly limited since I don't give a rat's ass about it.they kept the ending, but not the opening...

And I'd kill for UM to come back... *fanboy*

[Youko Recca]

I'm guessing UM stands for Ultimate Muscle right? Was that good?

[Conan-san]

I'm guessing UM stands for Ultimate Muscle right? Was that good?
Uh not realy, infact, it was a bit pants (pardon the pun).

[HellCat]

As the title implies, TOM, Sara and the Absolution are no longer part of Toonami UK. They've been replaced with red blocks that combine and have the Toonami logo phase in on them. It's probably for the better. After a failed TIE and short attempts to give TOM and co character, they didn't respresent here what they seem to do in the US.

[Wanted]

Nice. I'd like to see some screenshots along the road. And about the TIE, was it different from the ones here in good ol' USA?

Oh, and the block will be able to move a lot smoother without him there.

[Obi]

How was his voice?

[HellCat]

I never caught the TIE, but from the banner ads I saw online it was The Intruder. The only time I've heard UK TOM speak is after the switch from CNX. It was clearly American and I'm just about certain it was one of the hosts from the failed CNX magazine show 'Trailer Park'.

[Conan-san]

I actuly think that this presentation of Toonami UK is better than the half-baked attempt to copy the US.

I meen it has the abilities for custom introductions (see Teen Titans) and the like and I think the "Next Month Highlights" idea is excelent.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

That'd be interesting to see.

[ArtificialIdiot]

I meen it has the abilities for custom introductions (see Teen Titans) and the like and I think the "Next Month Highlights" idea is excelent.

Really? I can't say I'm a big fan of it, it goes on for far too long imo.

The only thing I'm really going to miss about this change is the fact that the hero Files are gone. Those were kind of interesting imo.

[HellCat]

Toonami Heo Files were ok but overplayed. They're like character profiles on most DVDs- they don't tell you anything you didn't already know from watching the show. The Flash one stuck out because it revealed he was Wally West before Starcrossed aired and it had a good clip- *Flash, being interviewed on TV* "I'm the fastest man alive" *zooms off, reappears behind the interviewer and taps him on the shoulder. Quickly zooms off and returns to his original position as the clueless interviewer turns around*.

If I had the ability to load video files online I probably would have captured them. But I don't think they'll be missedd too much.

[Discloner]

My knowledge of UK Toonami's packaging is extremely limited, but from what I've gathered its packed with inconsistancies.

Even a trip to Toonami.co.uk proves it...they've got a Tom3 game in there, when the block is hosted by Tom2. They had 'The Intruder' which features Tom 1 and introduces Tom2 (if its the same version as ours), but the network re-launched with Tom2...

Sounds...kind of half assed work on their part. Perhaps it was best that the presentation changed.

[The Koopinator]

Good. That's one. I never liked them like that. I don't live in UK, but I hate TOM (2, that is).I liked the original TOM better. I'm still mad they killed him off in The Intruder (not to mention it was fan choice). But alas:

Best Toonami Setups

1)Moltar- Just because it's Moltar.

2)TOM 1- He looked cooler, with the recycle sign on his chest.

3)TOM 2, ver. 1.0

4)TOM 2, ver. 2.0- Ugly city, everything.

[William C. Maune]

I have the urge to say, No TOM on Toonami? Blasphemy!, but then again I can't really say anything because I haven't seen the new packaging.

[Discloner]

I'm still mad they killed him off in The Intruder (not to mention it was fan choice).
The Engines were the Fan's choice, Tom was doomed to death all along.

[Conan-san]

I have the urge to say, No TOM on Toonami? Blasphemy!, but then again I can't really say anything because I haven't seen the new packaging. To be honest, Will, a half-assed Toonami with Beyblade and such with Tom, would be blasphemy in the walking into church and saying "Aw, this god person, he aint so hot..." context.

But, untill the day we gets some decent shows that Kick the butt rather than Suck the butt, I do not wish your Robot friend to be assosciated with this crap.

[James Bester]

how can u call it toonami without tom or moltar?

[ArtificialIdiot]

how can u call it toonami without tom or moltar?

Pretty easily?

I don't really care what Toonami is selling themselves as. I watch it for the show's they air, not the mascots (although, TOM was a nice addition when Toonami was on regular CN hours and no a channel onto it's self... but honestly, he's been rather ignorable since then anyway).

[Mini Dragon]

I have the urge to say, No TOM on Toonami? Blasphemy!, but then again I can't really say anything because I haven't seen the new packaging.
Sad to here. But I think its for the better. If TOKM wasnt doing anything then he shouldnt be on the block. I just hope that never comes to the US>
But.. so now toonami UK doesnt have a host? Just red blocks?

[Youko Recca]

Well you don't really have to care for Tom, but nowadays he does...crap. The most I see him is during the Yu Yu Hakusho custom intro and that's freakin' sad. Pressing three buttons is the most exercise he gets on Saturday. Now if he was in the promos and stuff instead of just spoiler-esque clips and the PC voice over(not bad but come on), then I would see him again as he once was not even too long ago. A nice and suitible host.

[Conan-san]

how can u call it toonami without tom or moltar? Easy, it's better than calling it a cheap imataion of your toonami.

[LightShadow1890]

Hmm....no TOM...interesting....

So, is there a character also, like we have (Miguzi's Erin), or just red blocks??? Is there anythign interesting about these blocks? Mind giving us a visual?

[anime fan]

i have seen the new pacaging its not as good as it used to look i actually wish toonami hade stayed cnx beacause it was realy good plus they still shew gundam wing and tenchi. and it didnt just show 1 uncut anime(outlaw star) it shew 2 cowboy be bop. its probebly for the best beacause good hase come of it i heard they a starting to focus on alot more anime so ill see

[anime fan]

the things ill be watching are transformers enegon and new dragonball i think toonami uk should have a cnx block kinda lick adult swim only without the comedy not that i mind about the comedy but its on toonami.
and the could show some shows like on adult swim they all ready have outlaw star and cowboy be bop and big o from the second season it seems uncut.:tom: :bosko:

[anime fan]

is tenchi realy comming back thankyou lord is gundam wing comming back too.
o yeah the funnimation we get in the uk is dragonball z but gt and ball are not.

[HellCat]

is tenchi realy comming back thankyou lord is gundam wing comming back too.
o yeah the funnimation we get in the uk is dragonball z but gt and ball are not.
I hope not. If we ever see a return for Gundam, I hope it's a show which hasn't seen constant repeats. SEED could stand a chance if (and that's a big if) Bandai UK actually supported it.

Whilst FUNimation produced the earlier Z episodes, most of it here is Ocean. Like the US we changed to FUNi midway through the Frieza saga, then back again just after Trunks has returned to his own time after warning Goku.

[Youko Recca]

Damn y'all need some Hakusho, hope things change soon. Then you won't see Fullmetal Alchemist?...Oh noes.....

[Anime Freak]

Umm yeah, just wondering why there's 2 toonami UK topics? why not just have a Toonami UK discussion topic? :rolleyes:

You do realise how American centric TZ is, right? By your logic we should just have one big thread for each country. If we had one big Toonami UK thread, the news wouldn't get out since people dislike reading huge multi-page threads.

There are countries beyond the US and we deserve the exact same treatment.

I was under the impression Toon Zone welcomed all animation fans, regardless of their country of origin or geographical location. Just because it's a mainly American site doesn't mean it's solely American. So how about you stop being a jerk and except that members from other countries deserve the same rights members from America do?

It's for the very reason that Toon Zone is such a large community that it should promote countries beside the US. You replied to this thread saying all the UK news should be kept in one place. How about we do that for the US? Cram all the talkbacks, updates and general discussion relevant to the US Toonami into one confusing, monster thread. Wouldn't like it would you? Don't tell me to jump to conclusions when you had to be a smart alec in the first place.

There's no character at all. Just the red blocks. I can't give you a visual though :(

[ArtificialIdiot]

Bah, no more Batman of the Future at a sane, reasonable time? Should have known :(

They're pushing Justice League back as well... bah. Ah well, at least that Clone Wars special thing looks interesting...

Okay...now you're the one going overboard. I just stated an opinionary suggestion, that was never intended to flame or attack people from the UK or anyone at all. And you've taken it upon yourself to make it seem like I did when I absolutely did not do this. There's no point in arguing about this cuz arguing some how leads to flaming which leads to banning. So end of discussion.

Getting back on topic sorta...what happened on The Intruder that killed Tom off in the UK?

The way you voiced your original post came across as if you felt the UK posts were pointless (try not to use :rolleyes: when making a suggestion). As someone who's tired of American grandstanding, you can understand why I responded how I did.

[Youko Recca]

Anime Freak you did kinda give off the wrong impression....

[anime fan]

back to subject yes i do like tom better that the new packaging

[Conan-san]

Well, after giving the subject some thought I have come to the following predictions as far as UK toonami is concerned

1) The current Format sticks, we use it for as long as Tuner see fit

2) Toonami UK will slowly dip it's toe into the unedited Anime arena and go back to showing CNX comedies latter on
[Rough guess for this: Mid 2005]

3) ADV/Manga ent. will probably discontinue it's realtionship with Sci-fi following the outragous hours that thier shows have been religated to infaor of some...laughable shows and Constant Farscape reuns.
This will lead to ADV shows and Manga movies appering in the prime-time/Eveing slots
[Rough guess: King Of Bandit Jing will start around febuary 2005 and more shows apper following that]

4) MVM will finaly reaise that YYH will not sell to the likes of BBC and ITV, YYH, along with other Funimation series appaer.
[Rough guess: Near the end of the year]

5) 4-Kids accusations, F-Zero GP legend. Fox Kids gets One-piece (to accompany Shaman King) and Tokyo Mew Mew (The intrest in this intrests Fox Kids into showing Sailor Moon (with S and SS this time)
[Rough guess: F-zero = Certanty, OP and TMM = yeah, Sailor Moon = in my wildest dreams]

[livingfruitvirus]

2) Toonami UK will slowly dip it's toe into the unedited Anime arena and go back to showing CNX comedies latter on
[Rough guess for this: Mid 2005]
If they do that, why not just turn it back into CNX?


3) ADV/Manga ent. will probably discontinue it's realtionship with Sci-fi following the outragous hours that thier shows have been religated to infaor of some...laughable shows and Constant Farscape reuns. Since ADV distributes Farscape, they probably don't mind the constant reruns.

[anime fan]

i realy hope they do show more uncut anime its time they got their act together

[Conan-san]

If they do that, why not just turn it back into CNX? Cause I have no way of knowing what's going in those sick puppies' ears.


Since ADV distributes Farscape, they probably don't mind the constant reruns.
I dun think ADV UK have the distrubtion rights for hte uk...

sorry about the spaces i tried to fix it. well thats their shedual i dont know if their is eny new epesods of enything.:tom:

[Brent Long]

It started on the fifth. I was just curious if anything has changed like the opening (new clips) or closing? Has the dubbing gotten any better? Who voices Piccolo? Who voices his minions? Can anyone provide clips or links to clips?

[James Bester]

theres promos on TDA. those are sort of clips. heres the url: http://www.toonamiarsenal.com.

[Brent Long]

Actually Gundam123, those are for the FUNimation dub of Dragon Ball, and the one that aired last fall. The Dragon Ball dub that's on toonami UK was is different and was done by the same people who dubbed Crest of the Stars, Zoids: Chaotic Centurry, and soon Gundam Zeta.

[James Bester]

do they have any previews on the toonami uk site?

[Brent Long]

Well yeah they do, but only clips for the first 13 episodes. They have three clips, but the second doesn't work.

[Pepperidge]

We won't be getting the second season of Dragonball here in Canada until October 4 for some reason.

I really, REALLY hope they change the opening song.

[Brent Long]

Yeah Pepperidge, you in Canada have never seen past the Red Ribbon Army arc. The UK has already seen the Fortuneteller Baba and 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai arcs. They went right in to Piccolo, and I checked TV Tome and Roger Rhodes (GT Vegeta and Gogeta) plays Tambourine and I compared the epidode titles and they're very accurate. I just hope Hellcat can tell us more.
