Toonami Reviews-12-17-2005

[Kanadian Kyuubi]

Okay, I thought this week for Toonami reviews we'd try something different, we'll put all the Toonami reviews into one thread, since we aren't big on other shows, and they deserve reviews too!

Duel Masters: Do That Duel You Duel So Well
So, Shobu is going up against the leader of the PLOOPs, but there is twist:
They aren't playing Duel Masters this time! He's challenged Shobu to a game of Go! You can't do that on Yu-Gi-Oh!

Dragonball Z Uncut: Day 1
Day 1 of what? Well, I can't wait for nest week, "Day 2"!

Teen Titans: Go
We won't worry, it's not Anime, but you can still give your say!

Zatch Bell: The Invisible Hunter
Oooh, I wonder what he looks like (if he even has a looks like)

Naruto: The Broken Seal
Time to get demon foxy, literally! Naruto unleashes his inner fox, but can this shatter any of those mirrors it has taken 4 episodes to break?

One Piece: Freaky
Freaky enough for you? Time to see again the sad side of Chopper, and the sad side of seeing our precious show cracked and gutted by 4Kids.

Bo^7: A Bird in the Hand Still Smells Foul!
Ummm. Beauty is not getting her contract renewed, Softon is still deciding if he should join, and everyone is non-ballistic that Gasser joined, what could happen this week we ask? But, I don't think it's someone eating Don Patch.

IGPX: I Like You, I Like You, I Love You!
Sounds like a J-Pop song, I mean Team Satomi needs a sponsor, now hopefully they don't get Serebii to sponsor them right?

Get ready, to begin discussing at 7pm!

edit: This idea seems to work well, maybe we should do it like this more often, and sorry I forgot to make a review for last weeks Naruto, this thread can also be used to discuss:

Naruto: Zero Visibility: The Sharingan Shatters
I snuck in here to help you Sauske, and now I'm going to spend 30 minutes wasting Chakra on Shadow Clone Jutsus that I know won't work! The directors say that this would make good TV, whatever that means! From whatever perspective you put that on, I only wish the "I'm a boy" scene would have been left for this episode.

I only watched Naruto, the others bore me.
I loved this episode.
Everything was done PERFECTLY.
I couldnt ask for anything better from the Dubbing Company or Toonami.
Deamon Naruto's Voice>>>>> Everything, and you know it.

Teen Titans: Go
We won't worry, it's not Anime, but you can still give your say!

Awfully nice of them to do an origin episode, seeing as how CN has cancelled this show...

Naruto: The Broken Seal
How many episodes does it take to shatter a bunch of ice mirrors? But, what's going on outside is the real thriller...

Yay for bad voice effects and a giant swords.

Dragonball Z Uncut: Day 1
Day 1 of what? Well, I can't wait for nest week, "Day 2"!

DErahonball Z is going uncut on Toonami again?I can`t miss it!!!*goes to tv*

 

[Laz-E-Boy]

Only saw naruto, and it definitely lived up to the original.

I thought it was very amusing when they did the flashback scenes and they left in "the kiss".

And Kyuubi Naruto's voice > all

 

[Ralts Master]

Today's Naruto was badass. Demon Naruto's voice was freaking PERFECT.

 

[Kecleon Freak]

I'm not really big on Naruto, and haven't really been keeping up on what's happening, but I did watch Bobobo, and it was pretty hilarious. Bobobo vs. the old man, and they were just playing croquet, that was funny, and as usual, hardly any plot development, except we now know that Gasser/Heppokomaru wants to save his hometown. With my little knowledge about what happens later in the series, I already know a lot of what happens during the next few episodes. I didn't hear much of Jelly Jiggler/Tokoro Tennosuke's voice in the first episode, but hope his voice is good, because his big appearance is coming soon.

Narutomon chou shinka...NaruKyuubimon! *plays Brave Heart* Awesomeness on a stick, this was~!

HOORAY! THEY KEPT IN THE KISS! THEY KEPT IN THE KISS!

Actually, I don't really care about that, but it was probably easier to keep it in than to put in a completely different screenshot. And also, they kept in how Sasuke had to "kill" his older brother (since people complained about him wanting to "destroy" him). Gee, I wonder if anybody's gonna complain about this dub episode...

Oh yeah, and there's gonna be a marathon of Naruto on New Year's Eve, with a new episode premiering at 10:30. It should be that [SPOIL]"Tool Called Shinobi"[/SPOIL] episode.

EDIT: Hold on a minute, it looks like the episode'll be the "White Past" one. According to Cartoon Network's site, there won't be a new episode until the 31st.

 

[ClowSui]

IGPX was awesome; Holiday looks good too. I think Fantine and Takeshi will sorta flesh out their relationship eventually. I think after Holiday, I'll make a Fantine/Takeshi fic or something.

What funny about Tokoro Tennosuke in the dub is that when first appearing, they actually said his real name or was it colosed captioned. So it a possiblitiy they might put it in.
Today's was funny with the dupicate old lady and then an old man. So random. I could tell a few Americanization added in when it should be japanese. But it ok since it'll be very hard to understand with japanese jokes.

For Naruto, I notice the kiss thing left in, and also like the dub voice of Kyuubi Naruto's so damn perfect. I miss the first half So I'll have to catch it on new year eve.

IGPX was good as usual. Today had one chuckle for me when they annouce that Fanstine and Takeshi together, the fangirls of Fanstine had anti Takashi signs which crack me up.
I'm really looking forward to next's episode Holiday.

So far so good.

 

[RomanMack]

One Piece and Naruto were the top ones for me today.

Chopper's past is already starting to look REALLY sad.

And Demon Naruto was just awsome.

 

[Fizban]

Duel Masters had me laughing as usual. I like how I know very little about how the card game works, and the show makes no attempt to explain anything. Smile and nod; smile and nod...

I missed most of Zatch because of somebody in the room talking way too loudly on the phone. It was a cordless, so they had no reason to stay other than to be rude to me. The secpmd half all seemed to be done perfectly. I love the wacky faces they make so much.

It was funny to see the kiss part left in. People who hadn't seen it before probably got a kick out of how long they left it on screen.

I've seen that One Piece about five times now. It still makes me sad when they draw near the end of his backstory.

Bobobobobobobo was, as usual, a laugh riot.

Did you know Takashi and Fantine are in a relationship? The commercials they've run every five minutes for the past week weren't nearly enough, since they bring it up even more often during the actual episode. When the cat winked at the girl I was a little paranoid of my own pet.

 

[Kanadian Kyuubi]

Bad news, no new Toonami for 2 weeks, but we do have a new Naruto episode on New Years Eve, the finale to a grand marathon of every episode!

 

[Rex Kamex]

Yeah, we know...

I just remembered: Demon Naruto doing the preview was a nice touch...

THats how everyone can be complimenting his voice, the only other thing we heard was "Im gonna Kill you"

 

[Lord Lonic]

I'm suprised Viz Media actually kepted the needles in Sauske's neck, enspecially since they once said to Anime Insider that that would be one of the taboo things. But then again, that was when they originally had planned for it to be rated TV-Y7, so I guess it's okay now that the show is TV-PG. Either way, great episode.

Bo-bobo was pretty funny too, but not as funny as last weeks. I thought the funniest part is when the old lady turned into 4 old ladies and an old man. Heh heh, funny stuff. By the way, how has Bo-bobo been doing in ratings? I'm curious to know.

 

[Rex Kamex]

We heard his voice in the preview as well. I personally like the "Demon Naruto" voice, but his "I'm gonna kill you" line wasn't as interesting to me as when he said "I'll kill you" in the first episode. Just my opinion, though.

 

[YoshiAngemon]

It was good.

Teen Titans aren't gonna be cancelled until the second-to-final week of January. But since the end is literally near, they HAD to show the beginning of their career. It was good, of course, seeing as Teen Titans is gonna get canned on Toonami, learning that Robin is coming on "The Batman" as Dick Grayson seems like a good reason to watch ol' Batsy.

I saw the Shonen Jump Trio. Naruto was good, and it makes me think that Naruto has no parents because the fox-demon-possessed Naruto KILLED THEM, shortly before the spell was cast on it, before the seal was placed. One Piece was okay. But by the time Toonami gets to "Doc Rock," 4Kids TV might end up airing the new episode the week after, and Toonami might either go back to "I'm Gonna Be King Of The Pirates," OR air the next episode. Bo-BoBo wasn't as hilarious as the previous episode, but was okay.
