History WebAnimation / TOME

For most of its lifespan, ''TOME'' had an somewhat interesting upload cycle, due to the fact that it continued for over three years uninterruped (resulting in an even longer run than its predecessor, which only lasted about two and a half years before its cancellation). Although the remake's first four episodes were funded by Website/{{Newgrounds}} (and were at first exclusive to it), the series stopped posting new episodes to Newgrounds after Episode Nine and eventually expanded onto Website/YouTube (although the [=YouTube=] uploads were taken down for a time before being re-uploaded in two parts via Channel Frederator). The series eventually received its own website (which used embeds of versions of the episodes uploaded to Blip) before finally finding a permanent home on [=YouTube=], where Chris Niosi uploaded complete versions of all sixteen episodes, seven shorts, and the April Fool's Special to his channel (along with special commentary videos previously only available on Soundcloud, blooper reels, and interesting Fact Bubble Specials inspired by ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' with trivia about the show found nowhere else), which replaced the old Blip uploads on the official website.

* ContrivedCoincidence: [[spoiler: The fact that Alpha's user ID unlocked the Forbidden Power ''and'' that one of his friends would wind up with the D-Bug attached to ''his'' model too.]]

* WriteWhatYouKnow: According to Chris Niosi, the influence on using a pseudonym "Tony A. Campbell" for Zetto's credit was not only to confuse the audience on the characters' actor, but also based on an true experience from when he was a teenager watching [[Anime/MegaManNTWarrior2002 MegaMan NT Warrior]] when it aired on [[Creator/KidsWB Kids' WB]] at the time. Due to Kids' WB' split-screen template causing the footage of the animes' credit sequence to be scrunched, Niosi misinterpreted the name of actor Tony Alcanter (who voiced Beast/Savage Man in the dub) as "Tony A. Campbell". Years later, after explaining the story to Creator/ScottMcNeil (who voiced Gutsman in the dub), he suggested to use the name as a pseudonym for himself. This not only led to Niosi use the pseudonym for his early anime works but also played perfect for crediting Zetto in his first few appearances to fool viewers into thinking he's voiced by a separate actor.
* {{Xenafication}}: The end result of Niosi turning Flamegirl into an ActionGirl in the remake. She's been upgraded from the sweet, and polite, [[DamselInDistress damsel in distress]] she was in TTA, into a warrior with a no nonsense attitude in the remake!
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Nylocke and the Quest Giver; at the latter's insistence, anyone seeking a quest must ''also'' address him in this fashion. Both Flamegirl and Rockoon pull this off with aplomb.
* YouMonster: [[spoiler: Played with in the season 2 finale, when Rubirules and Alpha have this exhange:]]
--> '''[[spoiler: Rubirules]]''':"You're some kind of monster!"
--> '''Alpha''': "Which one of us is really the monster here?"
