Heads up, starting June 4th Toonami is going to be airing a half hour earlier. So DBZ is at 11:30, Gundam at 12, etc.
You're just in time. Bayble Cuber's going to watch an inkle dribble adventure from days of old on my holo-pyramid viewer.Yay! That actually makes it a lot easier for me to watch Toonami as it airs.
PSN ID: FateSeraph | Switch friendcode: SW-0145-8835-0610 Congratulations! She/TheyGundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans promo:
Quite fitting how the promo for the first Gundam show on the [adult swim] version of Toonami is meaningfully echoing the promo of the first Gundam show that was seen on the original version of Toonami, isn't it?
For the sake of comparison:
EDIT: Ok, apparently CabooseJr got rid of the IBO promo. But trust me, it's very similar to the promo for Gundam Wing.

FULL INTRO AGAIN! YAY!
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987Memorial Day Weekend Samurai Champloo marathon is on now, just in case anyone forgot.
HOLY ZEN, WE'VE GOT THE FULL OP! THANK YOU, KAMI-SAMA!
Sadly I missed it.
Also the upper Gundam promo video is broke.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."The IBO promo probably won't be (re)uploaded for some time, but here's the SamChamp OP for posterity's sake.
Leading off with the "I WANT MY NOOKIE!" episode is always a strong start.
The Iron-Blooded Orphans promo is on right now.

Yeah, I'm already aware of that.
Apparently, according to the uploader's Twitter page, he's gonna try to rerecord it.
Actually kinda reasonable since there was a very noticeable audio glitch in the video.

... Holy fucking shit... That promo gave me chills.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987Ya know actually OBH's protag Mikazuki Augus is pretty similar to Wing's Heero Yui.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I actually remember seeing the full opening back with the show was on Adult Swim years ago; back when Toonami was still early night.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!Yeah, those were the days...
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987Ah, the good ol' days of the original Toonami run, though by that time, the block had been moved to Saturday evening/night.
I still miss Bobobo...
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!Is it possible to get that show back?
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."If it's any consolation, he lives on in One Piece.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987Bobobo would certainly be better appreciated among an older demographic, given that the show was so many different kinds of weird you kinda had to be stoned or off your gourd to fully enjoy it.
The OP was catchy as all get out, too.
So, I just realized the teaser music before Champloo is the same one used for Rurouni Kenshin when it aired on Toonami. And it fits so well. (It helps that Jin is Saito.)

... Y'know... I'm not sure we'd ever get anything on the level of the soundtrack for Samurai Champloo nowadays. It's such a shame that the artist that did the OP and ED died some years ago.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987Actually, there are a lot of artists in the chillhop scene that were either contemporaries of Nujabes or influenced by his works. (Uyama Hiroto, for example, was a frequent collaborator of Nujabes and I'd say his sounds are probably some of the closest ones to Nujabes' out there.) That said, it's hard to imagine that anyone could (re)produce the same kind of ambience Nujabes, Tsutchie, Fat Jon, and Force of Nature combined to bring to Samurai Champloo. The soundtrack is pretty much lightning in a bottle.
Damn that Gundam promo is pretty nice. Yay for Johnny Young Bosch voicing Orga too.
Also I just thought of this but after watching all these episodes now I gotta ask: Does Mugen take the spotlight more from Jin or not?
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."It's mostly even in terms of focus between them, I'd say.
Such a beautiful ED. I honestly think I like it more than the regular one, both by its own merits and given the context of the respective episode.

Gundam: Iron-Bloded Orphans promo (for real this time):
Sorry, Toonami crew, but if you were gonna pick something from Death Cab For Cutie, you should've picked a better song.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987Seeing as we're back at last week's episode, now's a good time for me to sign off. I'll see you all next week.
Later
IBO is supposed to air the first weekend in June (at 12:30 AM on the night of Saturday the 4th/morning of Sunday the 5th), not this coming weekend.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.
