As is usual yearly tradition, FLY was completely boned by [adultswim] [via April Fool's Day]. Usually they have just been showing favorite motion picture The Room, and apparently that's how they started shit last night. I don't know, I went to sleep at 11 because I forgot it was April Fool's Day today and I was super tired. Either way, turned out they pulled a complete switch-a-roo and actually aired a rebooted version of Toonami.
Now I don't know how many people know of/remember Toonami, but at one point in time it was pretty much 'the shit'. They slightly re-did TOM again, and they even brought back the voice actor, Steve Blum, to do the voice work for new bumps, introductions, and even a review of video game Mass Effect 3, which FLY is slowly playing when he can, but won't have time to finish before they CINECAST! up the ending, I guess, so I'll have to do the thing where I don't download the update and just play that shit offline because I want to experience it the way the artists intended not the way that some internet jokers feel they deserve because it didn't jive with their vision. The series sucks anyway, who cares if the ending didn't leave you completely satisfied? If you want to be an artist, be an artist, but critique other artists with actual facts, not feelings. Emotions have no place in valid, worthwhile conversation.
Anyway...missing this shit kind of pissed me off. They even aired an episode of Tenchi Muyo!! I need to buy that shit on DVD. Other shows they aired last night include Dragon Ball Z, Big O, Trigun, Blue Submarine #6, and Yu Yu Hakusho. [adultswim] constantly catches fire for showing poor anime, and it may be worthwhile for them to make this a permanent thing before they either acquire better properties or simply ditch anime entirely as they have threatened in the past.
We shall see. I'll post more later probably. Still upset I missed this.
