LOL…. Was that an awkward silence, or just limited animation?
Prior to “Star Trek”, Gene Roddenberry’s biggest gig was writing for “Have Gun – Will Travel”.
I am sad to report that the worst episodes of HGWT are generally the Roddenberry episodes, in that his handling of women is poor even by the standards of other writers.
If he’s not depicting them mouthy broads who need to learn to shut up so they can get a husband, they are silent passive creatures who exist for Paladin to partake of like free samples at the grocery store.
I’ll be watching an episode of HGWT and someone says the most sexist thing I ever heard, and I say to myself, “yep, Roddenberry episode”.
All of that said … as a rule I don’t buy the “man of his time” argument; slaveowners may have been men of their time, but they were also recognized as monsters by their contemporaries, so they don’t get a pass.
WACKY RACES: one of the most popular Hanna-Barbera cartoons in Japan (along with TOM & JERRY).
Its kind of funny how WACKY RACES (as CHIKKI CHIKKI MACHINE MOU RACE) got a theme song in Japan, but the American version just has the race announcer going over the line-up as the opening.
LOL… Before kids had consoles that could run Mario Kart, they had this.
The History of Toonami from the people that made it happen
Explore the history of everyone’s favorite action cartoon block, Toonami!
Hear from the professionals behind the block, from those who’ve been there since the beginning to the new talent that keep Toonami working as hard as ever.
A really great documentary! Nice editing and very interesting insight given by the crew.
This is something not only fans will enjoy but it also serves as a good intro for people who might be unfamiliar with Toonami, to see what all the hype is about.
I remember really liking some of the shows on Toonami, but I couldn’t have cared less about the Toonami block itself.
Like how they actually had an ongoing storyline that revolved around TOM and that spaceship he was on.
Apparently that all meant a lot to some people though.
Toonami’s “storyline” basically amounted to “the network has mandated that we have to update our packaging and logo once a year, so let’s hype it up like crazy by having it somehow be the consequence of TOM fighting a space monster.”
And amazingly, it worked.
The bumpers/trailers/commercials/show openings they made were great, as was the music they used.
In Sailor Moon (lesbians turned into cousins and boys transforming into girls turned out were girls that just liked to dress as boys all along).
And the Tenchi Muyo censoring with digital bikini’s
But, cable networks regulate themselves, but America can’t handle bare breasts on television without making it headline news for a year.
If you’re going to broadcast anime that has a hot springs scene you can expect the number of edited frames to equal how much the Bible Belt goes apeshit over tits.
Despite the censoring it was a lot of people’s first and only exposure to anime back then.
Toonami was the first thing cartoon network ever had a streaming service for way back in 99 or whatever. A crappy little webplayer they called the ‘toonami reactor’.
Also, back around 1999 the animatrix debuted its shorts in a crappy web player before the DVD release, and kept the web 1.0 site with videos up for like 10 years.
