I was 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:34.800 just so hyped to be both. Oh man, yeah, how 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:40.200 how you doing, Danny? How's your how's your week? You know? Well? 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.000 The thing because we had our whole month that we 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.159 did mental health May and so like something that I've 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:50.440 been talking to my therapist about is um celebrating my 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.239 winds more because I don't, like, you know me, I'm 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:57.520 very perfectionist and competitive and like I'll get something like 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.640 I'll book a roll or whatever. I'm like, cool, great, 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.520 onto the next one? What else? What else? I need 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.840 to do more? And it's just like not healthy. I 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.200 don't recommend it. People will be like, how how do 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.320 you do so many things? It's like I'm a perfectionist 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.360 that I'm never happy. Don't do it like it's not 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:16.440 worth it. Um. And so anyways, long story short, I've 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.720 been trying to treat myself like even if it's just 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:24.360 for an afternoon, like I took myself out to the 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.200 middle of like nowhere essentially, and had like tacos and 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:34.120 was just in peace and um social distancing, you know. Um. 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.120 But even like going to a beach where like a 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.440 secluded beach, uh and just like going into the water 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.880 and like just appreciating my winds. So I've been trying 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.880 to do that more, even if they're small, it's necessary, 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.560 I feel to do that. So that's what I've been doing. 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.480 I've been like, you know, I've been doing my my 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.120 getting my vibe right. And I've been watching a lot 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.680 of anime, which is good because that brings us to 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.560 what we're talking about today. We're talking about one of 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.200 the anime staples, one of the one of the anime 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.160 ambassadors for a lot of people around our age and 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.959 talking about it with us today is none other than 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.320 j D Witherspoon. A k A run, j D Run? 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.120 What did do? Hey? Hi? What's up? J D? Here? 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.639 How y'all doing? How you feeling? Man?

You know. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.840 It's like, I mean, you know, I guess we'll be 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.440 talking about anime the whole time. But we like to 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.600 start off with, you know, asking our guests what they're 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.760 nerd ing out about this week. So what's something you've 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.880 been nerding out about this week? Um? You know, in 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:52.000 this past week, I have had the privilege of watching 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.400 some new anime. Finally. I've been so out of the loop, 0:02:54.520 --> 0:03:00.520 but I started watching Fire Force. I haven't already, yeah, 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.120 but it's every everyone I know is talking about it. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.120 So that's a great choice. Oh no, that that show 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.840 is I mean, well, you know, not to uh sound 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.400 like a pun. It is heat, it's good, it is 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.720 it is lit. There's a fiery emoji at the end 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.639 of it somewhere. It's it's really good. I I genuinely 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:28.799 enjoy it. And the story is so obscure. Yeah, I'm like, 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.480 I'm like, okay, anime, I see, I see you stepping 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.480 things up. I got that's cool. Yeah, just just mixing 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.520 it up a bit, you know. And that's the funny 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.880 thing about anime, right. It could be like these deep storylines, 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.119 or it could be an anime about girls pushing each 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.400 other off of a you know, stool in a pool 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:50.120 with their boobs and butts only uh, I forget the 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.120 name of that one, but that's that's the one that 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:59.240 everyone references when they say animal be wildin me this week, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.880 I think what I'm nearing out about is Ghost of Tsushima. 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.360 It's gonna be dropping, you know. You know. Now, it 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.400 was funny because with Last of Us, Sony hooked it 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.640 up with the early copy and everyone was like, oh, 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.440 I'm jealous. But now I'm seeing the homies with the 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.240 early copy of Ghost of Sushima, and I'm like, all right, 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.120 now it's my turn to feel that jealousy. And I 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.359 was like, I need it. I need to be slicing people. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.160 M m. Yeah. And for people who don't know, Ghost 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.520 of Sushima is this new like Samurai game, it's it's 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.080 it's heavily inspired by Kurosaura and so like there's a 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.360 whole Kurosawa mode that I didn't I don't even know 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.040 about that I'm excited to try out. So it's gonna 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.760 it's gonna be that heat. I cannot wait. Uh and 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.040 I only have to wait a few more days. Yeah. 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.400 What about you, Danny, Well, you you're like damning over there, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.440 too much cold brill And I've just looked over at 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.800 Baby's box and she was like vibeing. I was like, okay, 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.080 I'm just in my head. I told everyone I live 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.640 in a little fantasy world. In my head. I'm just 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:12.840 like dancing. You know, whatever brings you joy during this pandemic. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:17.440 Um okay, So I started started a reading slash listening, 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.599 which I still consider reading on audible. Um this book 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.560 by Sylvia Moreno Garcia. It's called Mexican Gothic and it's 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.960 really dope. It's set in Mexico. It's this I'm only 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.440 on chapter seven, so I'm not sure entirely what's all 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.720 going to happen. But it's a horror novel and it's 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.560 essentially this woman who I think she's in her early 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.640 twenties ish her cousin, who's like one of her best friends, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.200 ends up marrying this guy who has a lot of money, 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.560 and like she kind of disappears, and so she goes 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.799 to visit her and it's in this like really creepy, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.880 haunted like town that has a lot of history and 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.880 this like evil stepmother and stuff. So I'm still learning 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.960 about what's going to happen. I'm really fascinated. But if 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.679 you want to support um, Latina's in the horror space, 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.400 then definitely check out this book, which is a great 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.560 horror novel and you can read along with me because 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.520 I'm still getting into it. So yeah, definitely check it out. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.080 It's on audible if you're like me and dance around 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.960 in life apparently and don't sit still. I can't sit still, 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.359 and so I'm always like cleaning and I'm listening to 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.160 it or cooking and I'm listening to it. So um, yeah, 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.599 check it out, you know, Um, I think we'll just 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.240 jump right into it with you know, the early beginnings 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.800 of Tonami, which I remember, which is you know, launched, 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:47.400 and then that was the Maltar Error. That was the 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.680 Maltar Era, and yeah, it wasn't at this time. It 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.680 wasn't like the anime Haven that it was before, premiered 0:06:55.720 --> 0:07:01.080 March sevent and it replaced this block called power Zone 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.279 and then it was like a weekday afternoon cartoon action 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.960 block and it had Malta from Space Ghosts, which you know, 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:13.080 well Space Ghost was running from coast to coast, so 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.200 he was already Yeah, it was like, so I'll just 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.160 in that with that from Malta who was at the 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.720 time on Space Ghost Coast to coast, so it wasn't 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.240 like a wild reference for kids, like they were like, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.560 oh yeah, I remember that guy from that show. Uh 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:32.280 and it was in the Ghost Planet Industries building. Um, yeah, 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.400 do you all remember this ever much? I remember bits 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.280 and pieces, bits and pieces of Tsunami or just like 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:43.440 space Ghost or all this stuff. Was the host of 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.720 Tsunami and he would just pretty much like pull levers 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.600 and that would start shows. What I feel like, I 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.120 remember that, But was that pre the main host that 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.360 Steve yea or yeah, because we're going to talk about 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.400 that because he said the main host Steve well, giuse me, 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.160 not the main but the guy who he's the one 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.920 that people know. But I know that there was someone 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:10.520 else who played his voice. Yeah, for like a year, 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:12.560 and then I think he came back for one more year. 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.960 So yeah, I don't know, but I don't know why 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.880 I don't. I think I do remember such a brief. 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.120 It was so short though. It was like it was 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.640 like Moltar be like blah blah, and he would just 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.320 like he'd be like he would like pull a lever 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.160 and be like, yeah, we got some u yasha tonight, 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.400 we should check that out. And I just remember I 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.400 remember that, but I remember the vibe being so off 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.560 because he wasn't like smooth or cool. He was just 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.280 kind of like, yeah, you like you like you like anime. Shut. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.520 This was before they had kind of officially moved over 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:53.560 to anime, so they had a lot of non anime 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.480 because they took over that power zone. They wanted just 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:01.320 like action shows for that, which they still had, you 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.080 know when it fully moved over to Toonami, they still 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.560 had like it was kind of the it was like 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.600 the call for like they just wanted action adventure that 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.240 was like supposed to be the block at the time, 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.840 So even the anime that that they allowed to exist 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:19.080 had to largely be action adventure. Um. But yeah, this 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:23.440 was before dbz uh and before Gundham and before a 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.720 lot of uh those shows that we finally got in 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.600 the Tom era. Oh yeah yeah, so yeah, that's that's 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.880 what That's what I was saying, because the Tom Tom 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.480 era was was dope and uh and so it was 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.959 first Sunny Straight and then it was Steve, which Steve 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.360 we know voices all buff characters. So it's also funny 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.600 that this was like Chubby Tom. You remember how at 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.839 first he had like oh yeah, yeah, yeah he did, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.480 Yeah yeah, I'm tripping. This is so this is this 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.280 is just taking me back. I forgot about all of this. 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.719 We and the reason we start doing this episode is 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.000 because we're doing the Cartoon net Work episode and me 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.679 and Danny had that like flashback when we were reading through, 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.600 like oh snap, and we're like, we gotta do a 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.040 whole episode just on two Nami because this is this 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:13.200 is what straight up fueled me into the anime nerd 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.600 I in today. Like this was like you know, because 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.000 you know, back in the day, Internet wasn't popping like that. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.040 You you have to get fans subs if you don't 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.680 know what fans subs were. That that was when the 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:30.600 one we who actually understood Japanese would be translating the 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.640 Japanese dub and then they'd be putting whatever they want. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.480 They'd be adding cuss wars like the G two be 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.880 dropping F bomb. We Uh. We had a we had 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.200 a spot, me and my boy, we had a spot 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.640 near a Toys r Us that used to sell uh 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:51.520 dubbed tapes that that I don't know if he dubbed 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.360 them or if he just works or if he wants 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.559 a Little Tokyo and and bought them a wholesale to 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.719 try to make a profit. But he, my boy, had 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:06.000 all that the Dragon Ball Z episodes that Tsunami refused 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.880 to get to, that they that they took so long 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.480 to get to. He was like, bro, I can't wait anymore, Yo, 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.400 Let's watch this. Let's watch this, uh this movie about 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:19.840 some dude name Jannemba. And I was like, I was like, okay, 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.319 so and it was it was just the japan It 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.720 was the original Japanese show with it wasn't dub it 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:30.000 was subs so it was subtitled um the Japanese subtitle one. 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.319 And it was like some of the stuff that was 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.120 written on the screen. I was like, is this what 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:38.160 they're talking about? I was so confused. Now those were 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.520 the j one, so like around that you you pretty 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.439 much were relying on like Tsunami. But yeah, they had 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.960 the new host, Tom, which was voiced by Sonny Straight 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.439 at the time, and this is and he had the 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.679 speech to kick it off, my best Sonny A Straight, 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.400 which is gonna be bad. So it's a brand new Tunami, 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.760 but the mission objectives remained the same. My name is Tom, 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.360 I'm the new Moltar. Welcome aboard the Ghost Planets spaceship 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:11.360 Absolution Cartoon Networks first and only Interstellar broadcast an exploration vehicle. 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.600 I'll give you the tour later. From this day forward, 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.720 she is completely responsible for all two Nami transitions. I'm 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.160 taking you guys into the new millennium. No big changes now, 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.680 same show, same attitude, new place to do, new guy 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.120 to do it with. I'm not gonna waste any more time. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.319 Let's get back to it later. And then that also 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:36.040 premiered the Midnight Run, which who that was that one? 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.760 That one that's when you have those like it was 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.920 because I remember the one thing I remember from Midnight 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.839 Run that I would that I can never forget. It 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.800 was always Dragon ball Z uncut. I was like, Oh, 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.080 what they're gonna show on that and all it wasn't that. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.200 It was like all the blood stuff that they tried 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.480 to hide from us, they showed it to us. I'm 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.160 thinking I thought Mama was about to come out nude 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.040 or something like the way like because also at the time, 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.520 for those who didn't know, we also had BT uncut, 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.480 which you got to see the uncut tip drill video, 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:14.240 which is not the same at all. Well that was 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.320 do you remember in dB Z like so they would 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.600 have the blood was like purple. Yeah, that's like so 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.160 basically you just got to see red or non existent yeah, true, true, true, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.640 So basically you just got to see red blood like 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:32.280 coming out of vegeta as opposed to the purple but 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.200 uncut and we were staying up late. I remember seeing 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:41.280 Krillin getting pierced by freezes Horn during the second Transformation, Yeah, 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.960 in Japanese, and I remember watching it. I was like, 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.080 what the hell is this episode? I was like, this 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.160 did not happen in America because Freezer like rams him 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.280 and then like like ride makes him ride the horn 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.840 for a few minutes and he's like he's just like 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.960 he's just get stabbed. And I'm like, yo, this, I 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.319 don't remember this. This is gross. Which, by the way, 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:09.520 um we should mention Krillan, voiced by Sunny Straight is 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.560 the voice of Tom this first this first running Wow, 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.040 that's crazy. Um so he did sound not like how 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.360 if he sounded very smooth? Yeah, I didn't know that. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.200 I was like Sunny Straight was a blaxploitation. I don't remember, 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:29.840 Hey Straight, and welcome back to Tonami. Like, you know, 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.760 this man sounds too smooth. He was This is from 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.800 the wiki was a well, by the way, Tom's stands 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.240 for to Nami Operations module and this was like a 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.680 pudgier shorter funny that it was voiced by Krill and 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:49.520 this is the shortest version of tom um And yeah, 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:54.000 so he he was like our little uh, our little DJ. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.200 Essentially he was the best version. I didn't like when 0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:59.960 he got buff I was like, what is this is said? 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.280 I was like, bro at the glow up. I was like, 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.960 give me back the couch potato. I can resonate with 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.520 what do you say? Like, like what you put the 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.800 gut back on him? So I can get back to 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.800 feeling the same as he is when it comes to 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.080 watching my anime. Let me eat my chips in the bed, 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:18.520 you know. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I forgot this new 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:25.080 the new one was like, yeah, y'all, well I'll go ahead. No, 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.800 I was gonna say the Intruder okay. So so how 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.640 that came to be is they had this like this 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:36.040 eight episode mini series called The Intruder where and it 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.440 ended with him really um iconically like getting taken over 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:45.680 by like molten where he was like sinking um and 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.400 that's how he essentially, quote unquote like died. He also 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.320 had an Ai Sarah I don't know if you remember, yeah, 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:58.360 kind of floated around him um. And so this all 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.440 took place in his ship called the Absolution, and then 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.120 when he came out, she like essentially rebuilt him. She's 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.200 like Tom Tom and he comes out and he's like 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:12.200 totally jacked, and I don't know. I feel like also 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.920 because was this the error where they had reboot? Yeah, 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.800 they had reboot early on, so I feel like they 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.360 were taking some some notes from some of those jacked 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.960 res sexy characters on reboot. They have some gifts of 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:30.360 him in the I I linked also all the Tom's 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.000 in the chat. But also here's a site that has 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.520 kind of like uh is explaining like his evolution and 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.440 he came out with that thing on him. He came 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.240 and he started blast and I was like, dang, that's tight. 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.800 I'm watching like a Tsunami retrospective video right now in 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.160 the background just to remember all this stuff. I'm watching 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.840 this video of of Tsunami, just realizing how all they 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:59.880 did was repurpose old ass anime. Oh yeah, us low 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.880 yeall just I'm sitting here and I'm like, I'm like 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.920 yo lo ki. They played us like like it's all 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.720 this stuff was dope, But I'm looking at like throwback 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.159 animal like brod These are eighties animes that they were 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.880 trying to sell us in the late nineties. They were like, yeah, 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.440 this this is we can we can make some out 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.400 of this, right Yeah, it's like you got it. We 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.480 have to take a really quick break and then we're 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.320 going to hop into Tom era too in the anime 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:30.320 that was behind it, that was my era right after this, 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.800 and we're back so Tom the second era, the beefed 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.680 up Tom had like a bomb r esque character. He 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.919 was taller, sleeker, deeper voiced. Um they Sonny got to 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.679 stay as Krillan, but Steve Blum is the one that 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.840 took over as his voice. And they also added a 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.879 Saturday morning block. I don't know if you'all remember this 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.240 was called to Nami Rising sun Um. This was from 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.080 two thousand and two thousand one and it was at 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.280 nine am. I think they were really trying to figure 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.919 out their kids age bracket because they had hooked a 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:12.320 lot of middle school and high school kids. At least 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.360 that's what I watched when I came home from school 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.600 at four pm, like that, that two Nami block, but 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.640 then they had the uncut. They stayed up a little 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.399 bit later, realizing that high school and college kids were 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.639 highly consuming it, and then they were like, how do 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.520 we capitalize on the little ones though, or at least 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:32.160 the younger so like that block um was more age 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:36.159 appropriate I think for like elementary and middle school, and 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:37.840 they also had it on over. They had a two 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:42.840 Nami block over on WB Kids or kids WB lineup, 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.159 they also had it, and then eventually just realized it 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.159 was a lot of competition with each other, which was 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.159 fascinating to Nami ended up competing a lot with adult swim. 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.560 So they were still like trying to figure this out 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.760 what they were doing the morning block that I remember 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.520 because I was gonna say I were remember when I 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.160 was really young, I was watching Dragon Ball in the 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.240 mornings and I had and I had to wake up 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.560 really early to watch the new episode. Same with Pokemon. Uh, 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.040 Pokemon wasn't wasn't the Tunami stuff, But I just remember 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.679 maybe that was the w B thing because I remember 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.480 getting up and getting almost at least in the in 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.359 the first arc of the Freezer Saga watching that, and 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.199 and the and also the the saying saga and all 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:28.720 that stuff. And I'm trying to remember. I'm like, I 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.840 remember it being on early in the mornings, and then 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.520 randomly Tsunami came out and it would be on in 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.879 the afternoon, and then they went and started like a 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:42.000 late night after like later block of their of their viewing. Yeah. 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:47.800 So so during the first TOM block, the shows they 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:51.280 had running during that first TOM one point, I will 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:55.800 say was Batman, the animated series, DBZ, Gundam, Wayne, The 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.720 Real Adventures of Johnny Quest, Reboot, Running Warriors, Sailor Moon, 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:04.320 Tinchi in Tokyo, Tinci Muyo and Tinchie Universe, and ThunderCats. 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.760 They they they were already pushing that Tinge on us 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.000 and uh so so then we had we talked about 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:12.919 you know that that TOM two point oh, and that 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.720 was in September twenty two of two thousand and uh 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:19.239 and they and they had a few schedule changes, like 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.760 on May fourteenth that changed it from five to seven. 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:24.159 Then on June three and two thousand and two they 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.679 went back to four to seven. So, but all the 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:30.000 programs that ran under TOM two point. Oh were the 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.280 Batman the animated series, still going Batman beyond the big 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.359 oh boom. You know, I'm not gonna pick that figure 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:41.719 up again. The Blue Submarine Number six Card, Captors, Dragon 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.760 Ball and Dragon Ball Z, G Gundam, Gundam, wing Ham Taro, 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.960 which I remember being so he Man, Masters of the Universe, 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:54.880 Mobile Suit, Gundham, Mobisu, Gundham eight Mobisu Team, Outlast Star, 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.879 which I just got on Blu Ray, Powerpuff Girls reboot, 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.560 Running Warrior still going, Sailor Moons still going, Superman, the 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:06.960 animated series, Tinchi in Tokyo, Tinchi Moyo, Tinti Universe, both 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:12.399 of those three still running, ThunderCats and Transformers, Armada, Yeah 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.600 you you Hockey Show and uh you you Hockey Show 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.880 and Zoid's New Century zero and Chaotic Century. So they 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:24.640 were the were pushing quite a few things. Uh now 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.119 that's like you know, and those are all the different 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.200 ones that were in that block. But I mean these 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.679 this is definitely one that I remember because these have 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:37.040 all the big ones are big Oh, Outlast Star, Gundam, 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:43.399 Wing g Gundham, DBZ, Dragonball, uh freaking even like Sailor 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:47.639 Moon Running Card Capture Sakura. You know, uh, Tinchi Moyo, 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.720 all that Tinchi run. Like, I think this was the 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.760 one I was really watching regularly from Yeah, I mean, 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.600 I it's so fascinating. I know I've talked about high 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.840 love Tinchi Moyo, and maybe it was just from the 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:03.159 sheer amount that it was put at us um, but 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:06.480 it is really fascinating because out of all these I 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:11.880 still gravitated so much to DBZ, which is wild. It's 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:16.160 just like that fan base became so ravenous. I think 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.639 that that helped. Well, I mean, I don't know a 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.639 better word to describe it. I mean people would go 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:23.800 it's kind of like what j D was saying, like 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.119 we would go out of our way to get stubs 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.280 and subs, and like you know, of course everyone jokes 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:32.600 that too. Nomally would re air the same episodes, but 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:35.040 like I was playing earlier, that's because of the Ocean 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.399 dub then moving over to the Funimation dub, and so 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.600 it was like all this like delay essentially and getting 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:47.000 English version over here. Um. But also I think a 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.840 reason why we we became obsessed is because we were 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:55.760 just inundated with the same you know, uh, the same 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:59.440 shows on here, but um, they threw in some other things, 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:04.040 like you said, like uh, powerpuff Girls, you know, things 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:08.280 that weren't necessarily things that were in their regular line 0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:14.239 up that they added it. And and it really like 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:19.520 it like watching like like kind of like looking at 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:25.080 this list, I can totally see how everyone has like 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:30.560 broken off, you know, from from this, Like all the 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.280 gundham Heads are in here. You know, you got big 0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.359 robos because you have the Gundam's big Oh then you 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:39.080 have like Outlast Star you know in here, you know, 0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:42.040 holding it down and I and the uu hockeu shows 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.800 of it all like these these were like all the 0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:50.480
