+Sir Sebastian I loved when they featured the "when I was done dieing" music video where they had multiple animators work on different parts of the song. now its one of my favorite tracks. if there is one thing adult swim has always done right, its the music.
same here man,my parent cut cable so I have no access to things like [as] but atleast they arent like cn where you have to pay to watch episodes of shows on there website so maybe live is in the future?
the adult swim website live streams pretty much everything they've ever made for free. They also stream exactly what their showing on tv online if you have a cable provider.

7:24 "AdultSwim cancelled your favorite show? Good. The important part is it gave you a favorite show." I think this should be told to like 90% of the [AS] fanbase, at least the one that's on facebook, seeing all the cancerous comments like "Bring back" and " sucks, cancel it!". Great editing on the video btw, enjoyed it!
People bitch so much, but never support TV shows when it's on air. The reason shit gets cancelled cuz not enough watched ($) .pirating ur fave show ain't helping no one
I recall being a little kid and getting nervous when the "adult swim" logo came on in the evening because it creeped me out...but watching it anyway, of course.
I think adult swim and toonami made me tolerate of other things like music shows and ideas...they basically made me not judge a book by its cover...I appreciate that...their very welcoming unlike cn disney abc nick fox pbs..theres a level of acceptance involved with the people making it and less bias...they will run any crap they want...

dude id watch adult swim reruns any day, the way they scheduled the shows with the messages and bumps in between was so dope. You weren't just watching a show, it was like watching a movie.
@@tausifrfr3 years too late to respond to this, but as I understand it Adult Swim isn’t a channel just it’s own block within Cartoon Network, and it has its own block Toonami for anime after a certain time. It’s less about the channel and more about the vibe that Adult Swim had, especially when I was growing up during the early 2000s. I would say it’s both weird and new while also being very calming and cozy. Kind of a Time Capsule of nostalgia for childhood.
Of all the shows that had the potential to withstand the test of time, only Aqua Teen Hunger force manages to hang in there. It's like the spongebob of Adult Swim
Anyone remember Korgoth Of Barbaria? They never picked up the series because they felt it's budget would've been too high. But everyone could tell just from it's test pilot that it would've been one of the greatest Adult Swim shows ever produced. It's a shame that Adult Swim never took a chance with that one, it likely would've paid for itself in the ratings.
robot chicken has had like 7 or 8 seasons. They are still going. Rick and Morty will probably keep going for a while. ATHF ended not too long ago if I remember correctly.
+M3NO451 yeah man it's a childhood feeling that's still around and that gets to me adult swim never changed never adapted to any new demographic they never strayed from what they were from the start
The guys at William’s Street are CN’s secret weapon. They first gave us Space Ghost: Coast to Coast; then they gave us Toonami; then they gave us [adult swim]. William’s Street is probably one of the most important production companies in the history of tv.
nerdwriter is nice but the kaptains videos are much more refined building up on a extremly personal view and then exploring the deeper truth behind that view/preference this also expresses itself in how the videos are done there is so much attention to detail there is so much work put into them nerdwriters videos are pretty simple in terms of production that's not to say that I don't like nerdwriter videos or I don't see the connection here I just think kaptainkristian is a real undisovered gem while nerdwriters content is good but maybe a bit overhyped I quite enjoy Film-Drunk Love for video essays about film (everyframeapainting is also good although I don't like the newer ones much) and then I completely love you suck at cooking and casually explained both hilarious
I remember being like 7 years old and staying up all night just to watch cowboy beebop. I'd watch the halls to make sure my parents were asleep, fuckin put blankets at the foot of my door to hide the light from the Tv. The memories...
same for me but with family guy, i basically turned into metal gear solid, via using as little brightness as posiibble,faking sleep, turning off every phone in the house,and sneaking around
Thats because they dont have freedom of speech. Its why america is where asian college students go to learn creativity, because they are too into math efficiency. Freedom of expression births art.
I used to run a Home Movies fansite back in the day, and this video was a wonderful bit of nostalgia and good insight into what made AS so fun. Particularly back in the old days when 11 PM on Sunday was a 3-hour block that most people didn't know about and even fewer understood, it was basically the highlight of my week. Great job!

I've been a fan of your videos since you started and I must say this is easily your best video. The production, the graphics, and your narrative are all on point. I can tell how much this network meant to you and for someone like me who grew up just shy of AS's heyday, it's really inspiring to see the influence it had - and still has - on creatives everywhere.
3:40 you nailed it there. AS wasn't just a channel that had weird shows. The entire block was like one big variety show, and the host would crack jokes through the bumps and played some of that AMAZING underground music. I remember as a kid trying to get my parents and friends into it (they liked South Park and the Simpsons so I figured they'd like AS) but they always said it was just too weird or on too late. But I grew up on that shit, and its molded much of my sense of humor. AS was like an underground night/comedy club that only a few knew about or could get in. It had a pirate radio station feel to it. And overall, its just incredible (although today I think it lacks some of that old school aesthetic )
definitely can relate, adult swim showed up when I was my most impressionable, it taught me alot about what creativity means and how wonderful the weird can be
Oh man.. The feels.. I remember watching Space Ghost Coast to Coast in 1999 as an 11 year old.. It blew my mind with it's style and humor.. Then Adult Swim premiered with the "No Diving in the Pool" bumpers with the guy on the megaphone.. Oooooooh man.. Thanks for the nostalgia.. So happy with what that programming block has become, even to this day. I don't have to like all the programming to know they consistently bring the ball to the game by show casing new art styles. Thanks, Cartoon Network.
Instead of typing a long-ass paragraph about the amount of nostalgia I got, I'm just gonna say that Adult Swim has a special place in my heart. I really, really love that channel.
Man, I have to say, your channel is quickly becoming some of the best content on RUclips in my opinion. Between this and your Superman video you can tell you really care about the topic at hand and it's awesome. Dope to see concise well written videos like this. Super interesting, keep it up man!
Shout out to the shows not shown here!! Wolfs rain, Big O, Samurai Champloo, and Inuyasha. Because those shows helped me want to become an animator today! :3
I remember seeing the premiere of Adult Swim talking with my friend on Aol Instant Messenger just talking about how crazy these shows were and have been watching ever since. I may not like every show, but I admire Adult Swim's sincerity and willingness to throw anything against the wall to see what sticks.
Axolotl de la Animacion Came here to comment this. They deserve so much more attention. On a related note, met Jackson Publick recently at SFSketchfest, and he's a fan of Lost, though he hated the ending (I hold a different opinion), and he also loves Battlestar Galactica. Super-cool guy.
@@AxolotldelaAnimacion perhaps on HBO Max. But sadly the seeds of discord have been sown with Adult Swim's new president. This has his fingerprints all over it.
"Unedited Footage of a Bear" and "Too Many Cooks" are two of the darkest things I've ever watched on AS and I can only thank them for feeding my nightmare fuel hungry brain!
Thank you for this adult swim is a important part of my youth ( anime , music , finding myself) everything on adult swim was unique and original just how I see myself im now 32 im from NYC I watched adult swim from day 1 until its ending those adult swim bumps low key inspired me to do what I do now producer/ beat maker I remember I used to freestyle to the bumps
I'm SO glad Kaptainkristian is getting so much more recognition now - I consider him to EASILY be one of the top 10 most talented content creators on RUclips. I've been watching his stuff ever since his debut video about the oldschool Superman shorts, and I subscribed to him immediately. :) I always look forward to his videos and whenever one comes out I literally drop whatever else I'm doing to watch it.
I grew up with Space Ghost and Adult Swim from their beginning. When I saw this video come up in my feed and i thought "hmph! what could I possibly hear about Adult Swim that I don't already know" .... and I was pleasantly surprised to be immediately bombarded with great new information. Well Done! Thanks for making this!
adult swim, for me, is the epitome of what television should be. when the conversation of tv being outdated thanks to things like netflix and hulu comes up, i generally agree, but that's only because no other channel does tv right. the way adult swim is run is something that can really only be done on tv and i think that's beautiful.
I'm not going to sugar coat here, the production value of this video blew my mind! I swear I thought it was produced by adult swim themselves, that's how good it was. If you keep this up you're going to you're going to get a shit-ton of a subscribers, I subscribed because I look forward to more of your videos and seeing you grow.
I loved watching Home Movies and space ghost every night.Adult Swim is my shit.And I wish they would bring back all the Old people and pool clips in between shows again that shit is so Nostalgic for me.
They seem to still saved cancelled cartoons such as Tuca and Bertie, A Netflix Original series! Now that’s respectable, and from what I’ve seen on my occasions of seeing this fascinating channel they have continued to have Toonami be the block for more mature anime and action-oriented cartoons! And what they shown with Genndy Tartokvsky’s Samurai Jack Season 5 and his new series Primal, it just helps further show their diversity in their content!
And now they're expanding their reach to young adults with an extra hour of programming and programs like Unicorn: Warriors Eternal (another Tartakovsky production) and the DC series My Adventures with Superman.
I remember always trying to sneak in the tv room and watch adult swim when I was younger. It was like such a treat for me, and family guy gave me the most entertainment.
Come back! I dig your analysis and video essays on stuff you grew up with because its my era. Your editing and music selection is everything man. Missin it. Hope to see more content soon.
God damn…watching this again after years and it encompasses so much nostalgia for me. Love this video and everything it highlights so much. This video is a masterpiece
Best RUclips video I've ever seen. I saw it when it was first released, & I'm re-watching it now, 5 years later, with a tear in my eye. This video is nostalgia encapsulated
Metalocalypse still needs to at least finish the story. Even if it were another hour long bit, that'd be great. But yeah, been watching Adult Swim programming since I was ten, when it first appeared late night on Adult Swim. It's been a great ride so far. At times however, fucking weird man.
RTJ being friends with Adult Swim, as well as them making a Live Stream of their 4th album for young people to Vote and eat Ice Cream, is amazing and shows that they can do Music Video content what MTV doesn't. Amazing. Also, I love Space Ghost C2C, Robot Chicken, Rick & Morty, Aqua Team, and some experimental horror shorts on the block.
Every single one of your videos is a journey. You along with Nerdwriter1 are some of the greatest content producers on this Channel. Keep up the fantastic work.
I love the Adult Swim Smalls They introduced me to many great relatively small artist like Jack Stauber, Alan Resnick and Vewn The same with Off The Air
You've basically described and explained my childhood, adult swim had an episode of american dad which followed a flyinglotus/ captain murphy bump with earl sweatshirt who so happened to come back home from camp in samoa which led me to odd future which lead to me starting to get supreme which led to me being grounded because i stayed up for new episode of loiter squad which led me to keep watching this shit which led to other shit. and its just fucking amazing.
+kaptainkristian You're content is absolutely perfect. Quality editing, superb writing, and you never fail to explain and translate the distinctly different nature of the material you cover. And on top of that...Tyler the Creator AND The Gorillaz holy shit nice taste.
Your presentation of this video as well as your heart felt dialogue really touched me bro, you brought me down memory lane with my equal love for adult swim man. just thanks for making this
I'm really not a crier, but I've watched this video about once a year for the past 6 years, and event time I do I tear up. This video, more than any other ones I've watched made my feeling known, and in such a succinct manner. I feel bad for having a fucking video about a giant TV network shake me up so much, but [AS] has done so much for so many people, and I can't imagine how much bleaker our world would be without them.
So many memories...I remember the very first night adult swim aired. I used to stay up watching the Chuck Jones cartoon specials and the experimental cartoons (I am Weasl, the Kids Next door first ever promo, the boy and the chimp, whatever happened to robot jones's first EVER airing as special programming) and then one night, everyrhing changed. Adult Swim came.
This may be my favorite video on RUclips. I never realized how glad I am that I encountered Adult Swim at a young age when it was new and how happy I am that it has continued to reshape television. It is responsible for my sense of humor and it introduced me to one of my favorite forms of media, mature anime. Thank you, Adult Swim, and thank you #kaptainkristian for this awesome tribute.
I just wanna say that this channel is truly amazing. Keep up the good work. Out of everything on youtube you've come from nowhere and become my favorite channel

adult swim, for me, is the epitome of what television should be. when the conversation of tv being outdated thanks to things like netflix and hulu comes up, i generally agree, but that's only because no other channel does tv right. the way adult swim is run is something that can really only be done on tv and i think that's beautiful.
I know this is an old video but [AS] literally shaped me. The humor, the anime....Golly. Good stuff.
Can we get some music credits for this video? Some cool stuff in here
+Daniel Corona Thirded. I was about to comment and ask for what these song's titles.

+Angus Campbell Fitheded
+Daniel Corona www.adultswim.com/music/ is the best I can offer.
+Daniel Corona It's all literally in The Boondocks' Original Sound Tracks album.
I'm not going to sugar coat here, the production value of this video blew my mind! I swear I thought it was produced by adult swim themselves, that's how good it was. If you keep this up you're going to you're going to get a shit-ton of a subscribers, I subscribed because I look forward to more of your videos and seeing you grow.
Still my favorite video of all time
I rewatch it all the time
"And that's one thing you can't get from netflix"
*snaps* Yess that's what i'm talking about
also shouts out to China, Il
I loved watching Home Movies and space ghost every night.Adult Swim is my shit.And I wish they would bring back all the Old people and pool clips in between shows again that shit is so Nostalgic for me.
They seem to still saved cancelled cartoons such as Tuca and Bertie, A Netflix Original series! Now that’s respectable, and from what I’ve seen on my occasions of seeing this fascinating channel they have continued to have Toonami be the block for more mature anime and action-oriented cartoons! And what they shown with Genndy Tartokvsky’s Samurai Jack Season 5 and his new series Primal, it just helps further show their diversity in their content!
And now they're expanding their reach to young adults with an extra hour of programming and programs like Unicorn: Warriors Eternal (another Tartakovsky production) and the DC series My Adventures with Superman.
I remember always trying to sneak in the tv room and watch adult swim when I was younger. It was like such a treat for me, and family guy gave me the most entertainment.
Come back! I dig your analysis and video essays on stuff you grew up with because its my era. Your editing and music selection is everything man. Missin it. Hope to see more content soon.
Yo this video is sick
I come back to this video from time to time. Such a masterpiece.
Dude i saw the first 30 seconds of your video, paused, looked down at all the otger vids you ddi, and immediately subscribed. You deserve way more.
That intro was fire

+blah7676 Mvp, Thanks!
God damn…watching this again after years and it encompasses so much nostalgia for me. Love this video and everything it highlights so much. This video is a masterpiece
Best RUclips video I've ever seen. I saw it when it was first released, & I'm re-watching it now, 5 years later, with a tear in my eye. This video is nostalgia encapsulated
this video was dope. solid content man. keep it up
4:14
ＹＥＳ！ Ｉ’Ｍ ＳＯ ＧＬＡＤ ＹＯＵ ＭＥＮＴＩＯＮＥＤ ＬＯＴＵＳ．
I'm in love with this channel. Your editing and choice of topics are the fuckin bee's knees
Metalocalypse still needs to at least finish the story. Even if it were another hour long bit, that'd be great.
But yeah, been watching Adult Swim programming since I was ten, when it first appeared late night on Adult Swim. It's been a great ride so far. At times however, fucking weird man.
RTJ being friends with Adult Swim, as well as them making a Live Stream of their 4th album for young people to Vote and eat Ice Cream, is amazing and shows that they can do Music Video content what MTV doesn't. Amazing. Also, I love Space Ghost C2C, Robot Chicken, Rick & Morty, Aqua Team, and some experimental horror shorts on the block.
Every single one of your videos is a journey. You along with Nerdwriter1 are some of the greatest content producers on this Channel. Keep up the fantastic work.
Some of my most nostalgic memories is staying up to sneak and watch futurama a on adult swim with the volume low when I was little. Good times.
I love the Adult Swim Smalls
They introduced me to many great relatively small artist like Jack Stauber, Alan Resnick and Vewn
The same with Off The Air
DUDE this is too good I hope this becomes a big channel. your content is one of the highest quality I've seen
He’s big now
is it bad that i grew up on this channel? like seriously I opted to watch adult swim instead of disney and nick when i was in elementary school
Watched since day one my friend
same, lol
It just means you were a smart kid.
Peter David same
Same
Adult swim and Comedy Central were my middle school pass times
You've basically described and explained my childhood, adult swim had an episode of american dad which followed a flyinglotus/ captain murphy bump with earl sweatshirt who so happened to come back home from camp in samoa which led me to odd future which lead to me starting to get supreme which led to me being grounded because i stayed up for new episode of loiter squad which led me to keep watching this shit which led to other shit. and its just fucking amazing.
"Adult Swim brought back Family Guy when Fox canceled it" and they will never forget that.
Canada is so damn lucky they have this adult swim as a 24/7 channel
Thank you. I've been reminded how much the channel meant to me not just the shows. I always hoped they'd show just one more [as] title slide.
I wish that Adult Swim was a part of my childhood, but I no matter what, I feel some nostalgia for that channel.
Why does your page say you have no content? I want to watch more.
+kikiki Check again, it should be fixed now
+kaptainkristian thanks for fixing it
+kaptainkristian bro what's the song of the bumb at 4:00
+kaptainkristian You're content is absolutely perfect. Quality editing, superb writing, and you never fail to explain and translate the distinctly different nature of the material you cover. And on top of that...Tyler the Creator AND The Gorillaz holy shit nice taste.

Your presentation of this video as well as your heart felt dialogue really touched me bro, you brought me down memory lane with my equal love for adult swim man. just thanks for making this
I'm really not a crier, but I've watched this video about once a year for the past 6 years, and event time I do I tear up. This video, more than any other ones I've watched made my feeling known, and in such a succinct manner. I feel bad for having a fucking video about a giant TV network shake me up so much, but [AS] has done so much for so many people, and I can't imagine how much bleaker our world would be without them.
Very true.
So many memories...I remember the very first night adult swim aired. I used to stay up watching the Chuck Jones cartoon specials and the experimental cartoons (I am Weasl, the Kids Next door first ever promo, the boy and the chimp, whatever happened to robot jones's first EVER airing as special programming) and then one night, everyrhing changed. Adult Swim came.
Don't forget "Oh Canada" and that Tex Avery show. I remember another one too I think was called "Toonheads" but I'm not sure.
This may be my favorite video on RUclips. I never realized how glad I am that I encountered Adult Swim at a young age when it was new and how happy I am that it has continued to reshape television. It is responsible for my sense of humor and it introduced me to one of my favorite forms of media, mature anime. Thank you, Adult Swim, and thank you #kaptainkristian for this awesome tribute.
watching this high was a good idea 👍
Ikr
ditto
same lol great video, obviously much thought and passion went into the production esp the writing. awesome job ty!
+TheShyGuy That intro is so damn good!
I'm loving the AESTHETIC
I just wanna say that this channel is truly amazing. Keep up the good work. Out of everything on youtube you've come from nowhere and become my favorite channel
Let it be known that I subscribed to this channel before it hit 10,000.
+Esosa Uhunsere Nigga I subbed to this channel before it hit 100
+Esosa Uhunsere SAME
+HDHyperDriveReviews2K15 Nigga I subbed to this channel before it hit 10
Now I feel like I missed out on Adult Swim for obeying my mother
This is one of my favorite youtube channels. I would LOVE to see a video essay on Samurai Jack, or even the work of Genndy Tartkosvky in general.
I miss when it was 11 o'clock and futurama was on adult swim. And I was just on Newgrounds and doodling on my PC
welp, that was two videos of yours. im a loyal fan now. show me what you got.
Dude. Your channel is just fantastic. By far the best case study channel I've seen in a while.
I remember around 6 years ago when I was 9 or 8 my dad would call me from the living roon to his room to watch shows like this with my mom and him
This my absolute favorite video on RUclips.
This is one of the most concise and informed videos on a topic that I would actually care about that I have ever seen. Instant sub.
7:40
Love the not so subtle shade thrown at Netflix .
I love the creativity and freedom and just the overall surrealism of adult swim
Ikr
this was one of the most nostalgic, feel good, all around amazing videos I've ever seen on RUclips . thank you for giving us all this gift 🙏
