So, six months.. (Toonami thread)

[God'sFist]

I would actually watch Toonami religiously if it weren't for the fact that it airs extremely late where I live. I just can't inject myself with enough caffeine to stay up past the first half-hour of when it starts.

How late is late? It starts at midnight Eastern time, and as far as I know that's the latest time zone it airs in, with it starting at 11:00 in Central Time. I'm not sure on Mountain or Pacific time, though -- there's usually a separate Pacific feed offset by a few hours. I guess if Mountain time gets the Pacific feed, that would suck. The whole thing would start at 1 AM.

I can understand not being able to stay up late (an early job, for example, can do that to people even on their day off) but it's been years since I've run into someone whose day doesn't start at 5 AM for whom midnight on a saturday is particularly late. Not disparaging you here, just kind of curious.

yeah mountain time where I live and it starts at 1 A.M. so I only get up to watch 5-7 block which is cowboy bebop and inuyasha. did that this morning it was fun

Yeah, I'm on the East Coast of the US and it starts at 12:00pm. The thing is that my mind is very structured and I have to obey that structure most of the time. My brain has set itself to want to crawl onto a comfortable surface and shut itself off at around 10:00pm, meaning that I have to fight my natural instincts for a good two hours to even watch the Toonami intro. At that point, my conscience part of my brain is ready to give up and surrender to my unconscious mind. Also, when I fall asleep not in some sort of bed, I tend to sleepwalk and get myself into...interesting positions.

That would do it. I'm completely the opposite -- as long as I'm occupied, I can and will stay up well into the wee hours of the morning. If I've got an extended period of time where I've got nowhere to be until the late afternoon, I wind up staying up until about 5 AM most nights and then sleeping until at least noon. I'm just a night owl, and I really hate having to sleep and wake on someone else's schedule.

You know, that does suck, but I hadn't thought about how pushing it forward enough that it doesn't end until 7 AM would have its own benefits. I get up at 6 for class two days a week as it is. It'd be awesome to have Toonami on while I'm getting ready.

yeah in your situation it's be cool but I don't go to school on sundays.

I would improve it by having it air in my country.

Neither do I. Talk about a brain fart, I was applying my Monday/Wednesday schedule to a Saturday night programming block. Toonami hasn't been daily since, what, 2006?

something like that... geez 2006 been awhile best time of tv on CN if you ask me quite frankly I'm just happy they brought it back at all.

 

[uchytjes]

I would likely watch it every week if i had a television. But alas, I have forsaken television to escape to the internet.

 

[Lonewolfm16]

Meh, Toonami has alot of shows that intrest me, but most I can get onling through Hulu or equivilant.

 

[Dreadman75]

It's been "meh" since Deadman Wonderland ended.

I always end up staying up through all of the shit that I don't care about just so I can watch Cowboy Bebop.

But now that Naruto's gonna be back, I might start watching with interest again. It'll be a great nostalgia trip. It was technically my first anime, not counting Pokemon or Digimon.

The best thing about Naruto is that it's gonna be uncut apparently. I wonder just how much different this version of Naruto is gonna be from the first Toonami's first airing.

OT: I've been trying to watch as often as I can and I have not been disappointed yet. And with Naruto returning I hope that the Big Guy and SARAH will be coming back soon as well...

Having watched through the Zabuza arc uncut, most of the edits were digitally erasing blood spurts. Stuff like that scene early on where Naruto stabs his hand with a shuriken to drain some poison from a wound, uncut you see some blood spurting out, cut it's much more subdued. The original Toonami cut was actually a lot lighter on the edits than it gets credit for -- it's not like DBZ, which was an absolute hack job.

Uncut Naruto sounds like a step up then. A small step if all they did was put the blood back, but it's a step up nonetheless.

Off topic: Censored DBZ is pretty terrible huh? I don't think I ever actually took the time to watch DBZ uncensored. Just out of curiosity: How bad was it?

Captcha: don't murder me...This thing is starting to creep me out!

Let me put it this way: they skipped over entire episodes, and cobbled together others out of pieces from two or three original episodes, and that's not counting all the weird edits like changing "HELL" to "HFIL" and claiming it stood for "Health Club for Illiterate Losers." Granted, the initial dub through at least the Namek saga was intended for terrestrial TV, which unlike cable, has content restrictions from the FCC. They were a lot stricter back in the 90's, too.

Edit: And my point about uncut Naruto was that cut Naruto wasn't all that bad to begin with. Blood was about the only thing that was removed, it's not like the uncut DVDs are still cut (which did happen with Street Fighter 2: The Movie.) So any edits we see should be on Cartoon Network's end, not Funi's.

Oh, no I understood that part. Frankly I liked Naruto's first run on Toonami a great deal (aside from the damn filler arcs). I didn't mean to sound condescending to it but when I look at it the uncut version definitely sounds like a step up from an already well set bar.

 

[sextus the crazy]

Want to support it, but have no interest in watching it. All of the shows I've either seen or don't care about.

 

[RADIALTHRONE1]

I used to stay up and watch Bleach, FMA, Kekkaishi(?), and Cowboy Bebop, until i got tired of waiting for an entire week and just started watching them online.

As a side note, except in passing i have not watched TV for a couple months
