    No, that's the best part because then you can kill them again.

    I'm 41, 42 this summer. Never watched family guy. Saw a few episodes of south park when it first came out and I was in school. DS9, Bab5, later in life, Fringe, those are my TV shows.

    family guy was the big thing that launched adult swim. I was 18 when it started airing on that and everyone started watching it

    This is all true but when it started airing Family Guy it did get a lot more viewership. Which arguably enabled riskier original programming like Melalocalypse and Venture Bros.

    oh

    oh no

    Wasn't that on regular Toonami since all anime was considered cartoons and cartoons were for kids? Including Tenchi Muyo, Ruroni Kenshin, and of course Outlaw Star.

    [adult swim] showed a lot of animoos. Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell SAC 1&2, Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyayayayaya, Eureka 7, and Bleach all aired on there. Probably some others I'm forgetting too.

  • MadicanMadican No face Registered User regular
    I think those were after Toonami went through its major shift though. Early on it had the full suite of anime, well before Adult Swim, and once it started transitioning to cartoons the anime migrated to Adult Swim.

    Agreed so hard. #Toobadtoobad should be a fucking trend, for the fuckstick Rush.

    Yeah between that and it's DVD sales (driven by the Adult Swim popularity) it seemed like a no brainier for Fox at the time.

    toonami started out as an evening block of shows that aired every week from.. 4-6? you have a mix of shows, the big stuff was: sailor moon, DBZ, outlaw star, batman:TAS, johnny quest and the like

    then it went off the air for a LONG time, like a decade+. adult swim started and yeah it had good shows like ATHF and harvey birdman, but it wasn't until they got the rights to family guy and american dad that it really took off and you started to get a lot more original programming coming on at midnight after those two aired. Then eventually they brought back toonami as a late night, once a week anime thing. you have your big shows air first, they went through rotations of things like bleach, attack on titan, dragon ball super/kai, black clover, and then it would go into reruns of older stuff like Eureka 7, inyuyashi, cowboy bebop etc.

    Well, the heat flare that comes from his burning up as he approaches the sun might provide needed warmth for those impacted by the bad weather in the midwest.

    Family Guy and Futurama.

    Pretty sure American Dad and the other MacFarlane shows didn't show up until after Futurama moved to Comedy Central.

    God, do you remember when Toonami had the various Tenchi Muyo series, but with digital swimsuits added when necessary?

    You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.

    Man, weeaboos these days just don't know how good they've got it.

    I remember when Toonami would always end DBZ on that cliff-hanger with the Ginyu-force because they didn't have the rights to the rest of the episodes or whatever and it was just awful.

    I would buy bootleg VHS recordings of DBZ from Japan at some flea-market. They were untranslated with NO subtitles and I had no idea what anyone was saying but at least I could watch the fights.

    Kids nowadays with their same-day-translated streaming anime services will never know the pain.

    Yeah, the coworkers are 30s to 50s and still love to watch the show at lunch and laugh whenever one of them gets a text message as they use the Peter laugh as a ringtone and one time saw a colleague had a drawing of Peter at his desk and they talked about it for two goddamn minutes

    We had access to some Public Access show back in...2001 or something, that was airing pirated Korean broadcasts of Japanese DBZ at the same time Toonami was airing the beginning of the dubbed Buu saga. So we would watch an episode where Trunks and Goten were pretending to be an adult in the tournament of power and then an hour later watch an episode where Kid Buu was beating the fucking tar out of Vegeta, but with only Korean subtitles. It was a trip.

    Can’t believe they got away with airing Tenchi Mayo on prime time and I got away with watching it. Also where I got my appreciation for Zoids, and post-Frieza DBZ. Adult Swim was a Saturday night indulgence where I could catch Kenshin and Bebop while playing Jedi Knight or emulators and outlasting my dad for staying up late.

    I had to record those episodes since I was at swim practice when it aired and I always thought I had like.. missed the new episodes and I just had to watch the show all over again and then they would get to that point and the show would continue on
