Well maybe if you watched DBZ when you were 8-12 like you were supposed to!

And don't tell me you did, because nobody would notice a shitty story and terrible animation/art style when they're 8-12. Unless they are some kind of super anime conneissuer(don't know how to spell that shit).

It's your fault for not watching DBZ at the appropriate age.
don't mind me, just postin' after a few brewskies

My friends got into DBZ when we were 17. I never saw the appeal other than rather muscly men ripping their clothes off and grunting like a T rex engaging in coitus with a military frigate.

Only one anime has ever really interested me and that was Cowboy Bebop. I think I am too old to appreciate it now.

Toonami was part of your childhood?

You guys missed out on the real great cartoons.

Toonami went from having teenage anime to having kiddish anime like the butchered english dub of naruto. I missed the old days where cool anime like Gundam Wing, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, and Gundam Seed(i wish they finished some of these that were mentioned). They just went downhill after that, and the only time it truly shined recently was when they aired the funimation dub of one piece but due to "explicit language" and what not, they removed it. I think it should take a nap, but the reason they shut it down was because they ran out of shows. Here would be my solution: Put shows from Toonami Jetstream like Mar(they did have that on air for a little while) or Eye Shield on your show making the excuse of "running out of anime" bullshit.

Did toonami do pick up that lame one piece show? They should've just redone dbz, outlaw star (which was actually pretty good), and one of those gundam shows in all there anime slots for all 11 years instead putting crappy shows like that up.

Awesome. Now Try Speed Grapher >:3
Funny thing is I never ever watched anything from Toonami, we have local stations that play anime like Witch Hunter Robin so...
<_<
>_>

and AXN.

For all intents and purposes, yes, One Piece dub WAS crappy, up until its 105th episode, when it became one of the best dubs I ever watched. I strongly dislike FUNimation's VA pool (all too stuck up on the "DBZ is god" bandwagon), but they actually pulled off something that was magical. Too bad CN cancelled it after 24 measly episodes. :(

We didn't even have toonami here, just the local TV station which has a "children's time" from 4pm to 5.30pm" and showed various stuff like Zeta project, Batman, Superman, Justice League, Reboot etc, and back in the day other stuff too, like all those kids stuff like barney or sesame street whatever.

Although, I haven't watched TV in such a long time, I dunno if they still show that stuff. So yeah, it never really showed so I guess I can''t miss it :\

Cowboy Bebop never hit toonami, did it? Adult Swim, yes, but never toonami.
What about that ronin warriors show? Whenever I think back to watching it, I didn't like it at all, but I also realize I had no taste when I was younger, so maybe it was a really good show?

Also Cyborg 009 or Cyborg #9 or whatever. That show was AWESOME. Two drunk robots fighting and army of MAGIC ROBOT KILLING BEES? How can that not be good?

yeah tenchi muyo is one of those typical harem things where all these girls want the main character for some reason, but the guy's gay or impotent or something so they just scare him. it had battles and futuristic stuff too tho and I remember liking it back when it came out.
