Toonami's Final Broadcast.

[Dehan]

Was tonight. WHAT THE HELL? Seriously, Cartoon Network, what the fuck is wrong with you guys? I'm sitting here chatting and Tom says 'Well folks it's been a blast after eleven years blah blah blah this is Toonami's final broadcast.'

Eh as long as they show Naruto for those who can't view it online...that was my 'dbz'.

[Bojack]

WHAT?

[Uno]

Let me take a moment to say something...

...WHAT!?

[Pink Underoo]

People still watch Toomani? What did they even air that was worth watching? Adult Swim is where it's at now, girls.

[Bojack]

True.

[Dehan]

I was the same way @ Bojack and Uno. Maybe they're going to recreate it? Name it something else or something...I don't know *sighs* it's really fucked up. And yea Pink when DBZ, Gundam and everything else disappeared I was like that about Toonami for a while. I forgot what brought me back in.

[Bardock]

Anime is moving to Adult Swim. Likely where they'll be able to air all of the parts they censored.

[Bojack]

Could have at least given us one last full series run through DBZ.

[Violet]

Toonami died when they took DBZ out. RIP.

Goddamn kids get a job and buy your anime! They are releasing every episode of DBZ remastered and completely uncut; all 291 episodes baby.

[Burter]

Your nerdiness is the stuff of legends

I agree, Dehan is very nerdy.

I taped all the DBZ sagas back then. They should have given Kirano a major role.

[Bojack]

My cousin has every episode on his laptop.

I want those uncut DVDs though.

...which reminds me, I need to finish this damn torrent already.

[Pink Underoo]

The DBZ dvd collections are pretty awesome. They have this "marathon" option that plays the entire disc from beginning to end so it's like one long episode.

Uncut.

As in "any and all profanity will still be conveniently translated into generic phrases like 'what are you doing there' and 'you big bully' as its a touchy subject on whether 'chikushyo' actually means 'fuck' or not. However, we'll show some blood."

I think I've heard one instance of swearing in English "uncut" DBZ, and that was Dead Zone when Chi-Chi says "What the hell do you want?"

Its odd they are removing Toonami though, but I guess they are trying to push their direction back to younger kids since the older ones watch Adult Swim and bitch about how the anime on Toonami was "butchered to hell" despite it being a fantastic way to bring good anime to America.

I'm still waiting for them to finally push a more public pure anime station (meaning one that's pushed on cable, not just direct tv and satellite).

I wouldn't say that it died though when DBZ died. There have been a lot of great shows on Toonami over the years, and I would neither call DBZ the best of the lot nor the only thing keeping it alive. There is no doubt that its the most remembered show of the older crowd, but its no more remembered than Pokemon, which is what brought a large number of people into anime. Myself included, actually, given that Pokemon and Digimon were shows I watched long before my ex-gf ever got me into watching DBZ.

Meanwhile, I'm watching an episode of the Pheonix Saga on tv right this moment.

EDIT: I can't not mention how many people entered into anime through Sailor Moon as well. And I realize Speed Racer and others had been out, but I'm talking highly followed where people were jumping on the net to search for them. PKMN, SM, and DBZ were the top three into anime.

[Josh]

It's not debated at all, chikushyo is usually just damn, or damn it and that's properly translated in the dvd's. In truth anime characters don't say "Fuck" that often, and when they do it's in english not in japanese they litterally say fyaaku yuu and give the finger it's a fansub myth that started that up.

Though admittedly there are some japanese words that actually mean "fuck", and "fuck you" but you won't see them in anime that often unless it's a more mature series which DBZ isn't.

I have been watching the uncut stuff though and the script is pretty good from what I can see, but really most anime even in the japanese version aren't going to go farther then; 'crap, damn, shit, ass'.

And this is the full uncut goods, they are releasing all the episodes not just the 275 they did before, all of them. Sadly they even show wang, seriously, Toriyama had so much wang in his manga it's not even funny.

[Dehan]

I agree, Dehan is very nerdy.

=/

I saw a commercial for the Cell Games remastered, I did not know they were releasing all the episodes uncut and what not. Still though TOONAMI WHY?
