Hey, I'm a straight up Toonami kid. You can't call yourself a true fan of DBZ if you didn't go through the hell that waiting that we went through.No Yoshi. No.

I'm 21 years old! Hell, knowing what Toonami even is constitutes as being an adult by now. It ain't like I don't know it was a flimsy excuse for slow animation, I still like it. It's kinda like a so horrible it's good kinda dealies.
Actually, for years before it wound up on Toonami people were waiting in mid-Freeza saga. It looped over and over on a different channel, and didn't proceed until Toonami finally got it.
Huh...did not know that.
Any-who, has anyone else read Journey to the West? The novel Dragonball loosely parodies? I have, it is craaaaaaaaaaaazy.
Chinese actually, and Sun Wukong(known as Son Goku in Japan) was probably based on Hanuman. What I love about the series is how EVIL Buhda is. Guy locks Sun in a FREAKIN' mountain for five hundred years and the only thing he could consume was molten lead. Man I need to finish this book. Word to the wise, the unabridged english version is looooooooong as hell.
Used to air on my local Fox affiliate on Saturday mornings before the regular Fox Kids block started up (Or was it ABC? I honestly don't remember). I think I first learned about Toonami simply because people were talking about how it was airing on Cartoon Network. This was before they even announced the new episodes.
Man, now I'm thinking bout Fox Kids. Remember when we had that and not Toonzai? Guh-I can't even say that with-out being repulsed.

It's strange how I couldn't give a rat's ass about DBZ - I think I quit watching it around the Goku/Ginyu body swap - but I'm laughing my ass off at the abridged series.
Yeah Team Fourstar is a great comedy troupe. Even if you don't get the source-material, it's still freaking hilarious.
