| TOONAMI |
This page is empty now but with time and luck I will have a whole bunch of links here like "About Toonami" and "Toonami Pictures" Its gonna be great! Its way more orgonized than TOONAMIBLAST Was. Please don't vote against this site.I know its not very good right now but dont worry! It WILL rule the vote tally bord. This is all I have for now....... 1. What is TOM? TOM is a sentient program. From his ship, the deep space broadcast and exploration vehicle known as the Absolution, he broadcasts Toonami to the masses. Anything he finds interesting gets passed on to the viewers -- video games, movies, new anime shows, anything. He also shares a few insights and drops some knowledge about life along the way. Occasionally, he manages to have some adventures of his own. TOM is a personality matrix downloaded to a shell that enables him to continue his duties in space. His goal is Toonami's goal: to bring viewers the finest action cartoons ever made and to make sure as many people see them as possible. 2. When did Toonami premiere and what shows were part of it? Toonami launched officially from Ghost Planet on Saint Patrick's Day, 1997. Moltar of "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" was host. The original lineup included "Thundercats," "Voltron," "The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest" and "Super Adventures," now called "Roulette." The Toonami you see today debuted on July 16, 1999. Moltar, who got tired of doing double duty between "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" and Toonami, decided it was time to move on. That's where TOM and the Absolution came in. 3.What's up with the "DBZ" reruns? While "Dragonball Z" has well over 200 episodes, all have not yet been translated into English. Toonami receives translated "Dragonball Z" episodes in big lumps periodically. In the meantime, we have to show reruns of the old ones. But rest assured, eventually you will see them all. You just have to keep watching. 4. What's with the gut, TOM? TOM's "gut" is actually a miniature nuclear reactor from which he gets his power. This enables him to have a very long life cycle -- indefinitely, if nothing happens to him. All TOM units have this reactor somewhere to keep them powered up and doin' what they gotta do. 5. Does Toonami plan on showing new "Sailor Moon" episodes? Yes. This process is time consuming, much like the "Dragonball Z" translation. However, rest assured that at some point we hope to bring you every "Sailor Moon" episode currently available. 6. What is anime? Anime is the term for a specific style of animation that comes from Japan. It usually involves characters with overly large, oval eyes and animation with fewer keyframes than traditional American animation. Anime often has an extremely stylized look that differentiates itself from "normal" cartoons. The varieties of anime vary wildly from silly and super-deformed ("Pokemon"), to sleek and more action oriented ("DBZ," "Sailor Moon"), to more adult fare. Anime is seen in Japan as something for both adults and children, and is one of their most popular forms of entertainment, accounting for a third of box office receipts. 7. What is "Gundam Wing?" "Gundam W" is an anime series coming to Toonami this spring. It is a side story in the Gundam universe. Gundam has been popular in Japan for at least 15 years and is only now beginning to make its way to American shores. Gundam is the name for mechanized battle suits worn by soldiers in a civil war set in the distant future. For a description of the plot line of "Gundam W," click on the Gundam icon. 8. What is "Tenchi Muyo?" "Tenchi Muyo" is a popular and long-running anime series about a boy named Tenchi, his mystical sword and the women who love them. This series has been hugely popular in Japan and there have been several movies and different OAVs. 9. Why does "Tenchi Universe" appear to start over from "Tenchi Muyo" The Tenchi series is a strange instance of a creator changing the things he's not happy with and re-inventing characters as he sees fit. Each Tenchi series- Muyo, Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo- changes the origins of the characters and re-introduces them, simply to keep it fresh. But from show to show, all of the main charcters behave exactly the same, and for the most part their relationships are the same as well. Ayeka and Ryoko still fight over Tenchi, Sasami still loves to cook, Kiyone and Mihoshi still fight all the time, and Washu still builds insane inventions. Just relax and enjoy the ride! 10. How many "Dragonball" series are there? There are three. The first was "Dragonball," which followed the exploits of a very young Goku, as well as Yamcha and Bulma, and several other characters from "DBZ." This series was more comedic in tone. Next came "Dragonball Z," as currently seen on Toonami. This series follows the adventures of Goku, his son Gohan, and their friends as they fight for justice in the galaxy. The third and final series is "Dragonball GT," which currently airs in Japan. This series introduces several new characters, while still following the progression of Goku, who has now reached Super-Saiyan level four. In addition, there are more than 15 "Dragonball" movies. Toonami hopes to eventually show the complete runs of "Dragonball Z" and "Dragonball GT," plus every movie we can get our dirty mitts on. |
