Outlaw Star was ok but it was just such a proto-Cowboy Bebop

it was made by the same writer/artist right? I think the same person was responsible for a lot of decent animes, like The Big O too I think

also I vaguely remember some anime called Ronin Warriors, was that any good?

Edit: Oh they all came from Sunrise Studio, I thought it was the same director though. Shinichiro Watanabe is the Cowboy Bebop guy

big o was good. i never really watched it but it seemed cool and it had that quality of not being like actual anime which is basically required for me to watch something. bort once told me that adult swim like FINANCED IT after the first season and i always thought that was p cool. i dug the fact that they didnt overplay the whole mystery thing (not that i recall, anyway), and it seemed more western (specifically, like batman or something) than anything else. maybe i will download it.

Yeah, the second season financed by Cartoon Network was pretty awful. Multiply said awful by eight hundred if you hate anime. The first season was quite good, however.

wasn't tenchi muyo some garbage anime about a nerd boy surrounded by beautiful women and he JUST CAN'T MAKE IT WORK.

if you dont sit through more than an episode, i think thats the impression.
after that theres a bunch of star wars-esque plot with lightsabers and galaxy cops and stuff.

also, big O is my least favorite toonami show of all time. I really appreciate the theme song being so bad, because every time I hear it, it's like a warning siren telling me to change the channel.

If you want to laugh; watch this. Seriously; it's one of the most unintentionally funny toonami animes ever.

That's also one of my favorite toonami shows, mostly because of the olympic aspects.

So it was toonami that introduced me to this.

I'm going to miss them.

It's pretty sad, to me.

Maybe it didn't have the BEST of the BEST shows ever, but I can feel the nastalgia.

how appropriate

i am watching Megas XLR right now. that show is pretty ridiculous for a kids/teens show. other than that, yeah, i pretty much watched everything on toonami until i was about sixteen

edit: even tuned in when they were showing those gorillaz and daft punk videos
