Since I'm feeling nostalgic, I'm gonna borrow something off of Twitter and bring it in here:

"What was your first Toonami memory?"

Mine was the very first episode of Toonami, sitting in my living room, doing homework with the TV on (which became a longtime tradition).

The first episode of DBZ I saw which was a filler episode right before Namek Saga. I was hooked.

 

[everyday math]

Random package guy ranting. Perfect.

 

[Raxus]

First episodes of DBZ of course. Gundam Wing and Outlaw Star were also highlights. I loved they failed to actually censor some of Outlaw Star's 'saltier' content.

 

[Shard]

I remember the very first broadcast of Toonami.

 

[MetatronM]

You mean Coby?

Spoiler

He joins the Marines. He ends up partnered with Helmeppo (the yellow haired asshole son of Captain Morgan) and they start very small. One day, Vice Admiral Garp arrives to oversee Morgan's transfer. He escapes but not before Coby and Helmeppo try to stop him (they fail). Impressed by their bravery, Garp takes them under his wing.

After Enies Lobby, Garp arrives to Water Seven and we learn he's Luffy's grandfather. He brought along Coby and Helmeppo, both much stronger and taller (though still no match for Luffy and Zoro). We later see the two of them during Marineford, where Coby manages to delay the war so Shanks can come in and stop it for good. We also learn Coby has Haki.

Following the time-skip, he's worked his way up to Captain.

So yeah, he's still around.

I don't understand shit like this. Why is it that when somebody who obviously hasn't seen too much of the series asks a simple question about a character/plot point some people feel it necessary to list off EVERY plot point in the series that is even tangentially related to said character?

A simple "he's still around, you'll see" would have sufficed.

It was like 4th grade or something, basically like 5 or so of us got together at someone's house got a pizza and some chips and just hung out the whole day watching it. Shit eventually we just started calling it Friday.


Oh Grandad, Obama didn't do that. Don't listen to that dumbshit.

 

[Azure J]

My first Toonami memory was probably watching the first broadcast wondering what the hell these shows were but feeling hooked immediately. Sailor Moon/DBZ was a potent combo.

Also, lol Boondocks. This is seriously unofficial Toonami hour.

There is no known cure for Total Scrotal Implosion.

A simple "yes" would have sufficed.

Sorry... I just like getting detailed.

My first Toonami memory, I think it was around 2002. I remember G Gundam, DBZ, Transformers Armada and 2002 He-Man.

 

[Order]

Random package guy ranting. Perfect.

That random package guy has stolen millions of peoples' hearts with the classic "Booty Butt Cheeks"

 

[lazybones18]

First Toonami memory?

....I honestly have no idea

 

[Azure J]

I am so hungry right now.

So hungry.

Flipping past CN and stopping because hey, the dude from Space Ghost is showing some cool cartoons.

My first Toonami memory was the time I first got cable and turned on the tv after school and saw Zoids. Liger Zero was the shit when I was a kid. Good times.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

My first Toonami memory was DBZ when Cell first showed up. Scared me as a kid.

 

[mightynine]

My remembrance of Toonami was more the music and TOM since it premiered right before I left for college.

 

[everyday math]

GRAMPS!

I don't really remember my first Toonami moment. Probably something something DBZ.

 

[BatDan]

Cheech and Chong would love this Weed Kingpin.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Probably in the filler already. The canon arcs are always pretty good, but the filler can suck horribly.

well, actually it was the Koga/Wind Scar episodes.

 

[Ultratech]

"What was your first Toonami memory?"

Honestly? Watching one of the early episodes of Dragonball in the 1st Tourney arc after I came home from school one day.

No joke, we went for a long ass time without CN before the cable company we had finally added it.

Only time I watched CN before that was when we went to like a far-off relative's house.

 

[Jintor]

God, I can't identify a first memory.

A strong memory though is Zoids: Chaotic Century. I remember watching New Century tournament shit and then suddenly utilising the same thing but for a serious war storyline... faaaark

 

[B-Dubs]

well, actually it was the Koga/Wind Scar episodes.

Well, yea Koga sucks. I ain't gonna lie.

 

[Azure J]

Flipping past CN and stopping because hey, the dude from Space Ghost is showing some cool cartoons.

Oh yeah, this was definitely a part of it too since we had just got Cablevision recently and this happened.

 

[Beelzeboss]

I was told by my Granddad to not watch Cartoon Network because they were playing cartoons from Japan that would give me a seizure.

So later that day I watched Toonami for the first time.

 

[Azure J]

THANKS OBAMA

 

[lazybones18]

Poor Jasmine. Scarred for life

 

[SousedLouse]

YOU SCARRED MY BABY FOR LIFE, ROBERT

Mine was the first episode of Robotech. I can't remember any farther back than that, but that's when I got hooked.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Hahaha. And he used Obama to cover his shame.

It's okay, Metatron. Really.

 

[Seda]

Promo again

 

[The Frankman]

YOU SCARRED MY BABY FO LYFE!!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Damn Robert
Actuall , I also recall not having CN until the Cable added that...and the Spice Channel.

 

[789shadow]

My first Toonami memory: Ganta's classroom exploding.

My family never had any cable whatsoever.

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh shit, this is looking pretty crazy. Tonight's gonna be a good night.

 

[everyday math]

God, I can't identify a first memory.

A strong memory though is Zoids: Chaotic Century. I remember watching New Century tournament shit and then suddenly utilising the same thing but for a serious war storyline... faaaark

I miss Zoids.
And OH MY! Toonami I love you.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Well, yea Koga sucks. I ain't gonna lie.

also, i didn't like how Sango or Rin's stuff was handled.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

This movie, they make it look so freakin' epic.

 

[Azure J]

Toonami could make drying Elmer's glue exciting with their promo team, hot damn.

 

[The Frankman]

My first TOONAMI memory was this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvLBvIzLcRI

From Day One mofos. Hell I even remember what they used to show BEFORE Toonami began.

 

[Ultratech]

This movie, they make it look so freakin' epic.

Indeed. Should be good, or so I hope.

 

[Future Foundation]

God, that promo looks so good on TV.

 

[LycanXIII]

Ugh, why can't they start the night with the movie and skip Bleach?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Ugh, why can't they start the night with the movie and skip Bleach?

Aizen demands it.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

my first Toonami memory.....well, i have two. one is being forbidden from watching DBZ because my parents didn't like the screaming (I totally watched it anyway)

and also for some reason the episode of the second Tenchi Muyo OVA series where Ryoko is trapped in a tank. not sure why.

 

[Raxus]

Hahaha. And he used Obama to cover his shame.



It's okay, Metatron. Really.

When One Piece does air we really do have to keep our lips sealed on spoilers since there are so many. I mean we have trouble keeping the end of Thundercats a secret.

 

[Sonicbug]

I don't have a first memory, I do have a random memory of my freshman college roommate and her friend walking in and catching me watching Gundam Wing.

Her: "Is that guy's name 'sex'?"
Me: "... Yes, close enough."

 

[Seda]

Ugh, why can't they start the night with the movie and skip Bleach?

Because there are a significant number of people who tune in specifically for Bleach.

Sadly.

From Day One mofos. Hell I even remember what they used to show BEFORE Toonami began.

I feel hazy about pre-Toonami era, but I know if you start, I could probably remember this vividly.

This episode of the Boondocks was so great.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Smokey!
Where's Big Worm?

 

[MetatronM]

It's okay, Metatron. Really.

I mostly just meant in general, not necessarily about this particular instance.


High as shit Granddad.

I mean we have trouble keeping the end of Thundercats a secret.

Which is really fucking annoying, I might add. I mean, it's way past too late at this point, but still.
