- I do not own any of these works. These classic animes are owned by their respective creators and the promos are from Sci-Fi Channel's old Saturday Anime viewing block that I grew up with. I love old anime dubs of the 90s and in general I have great nostalgia for these shows.
Anime promos are for Robot Carnival, Lens Man, Vampire Hunter D, Lily C.A.T., Gall Force Eternal Story, Venus Wars, 8 Man After, Demon City Shinjuku, and Record of Lodoss War.
I grew up on Toonami but this block deserves more recognition as Toonami.
Agreed
NOTHING can ever compare to the era of anime hitting the west for the first time.
Yes
1963?
It started in 1963 with Astro boy
Absolutely. I have such warm almost mystical memories from this time.
Nostalgia overload! I miss this era where anime was still obscure and talked about in small circles at conventions and comic book shops.
Man. Saturday Anime on Sci•Fi channel helped shaped me into the massive nerd I am today.
I happened upon Vampire Hunter D one random Saturday afternoon in the spring while my parents were out at dinner, nice cool breeze coming in through the screen door, it's a great memory.
I remember catching Dominion Tank Police, Iria: Zeiram the Animation, Demon City Shinjuku, and Roujin Z on that program block as well. I watched Roujin Z with a buddy and he absolutely hated it. 😄
I remember anime just back then in the middle to late 90's. Besides growing up on Voltron and Transformers, there was:
• Sailor Moon in the morning on USA network that would be going while I was getting ready for school.
•DragonBall Z (pre Cartoon Network DBZ20XL) on our UPN affiliate Saturday mornings at 11 or so.
•Transformers Headmasters weekday mornings around 6am on Sci•Fi.
•And lastly Street Fighter II the animated movie on VHS at a local grocery store that I rented more than a few times. (I had a thing for anime Chun-Li and Cammy in that movie. 😐 I was a growing boy. 😅)
I saw that Street Fighter movie on the shelf and was like, "Yo. This looks way better than the show on TV. Why. I must find out." and I've been watching that movie on the regular for 25 years now.
Thanks to whomever reads my long lonely ranting. You're the best. ✌✨💯
The nostalgia for Saturday Morning Anime is quite strong, I look back on it quite fondly too. Those were the days when you tried to draw anime style in class people assumed you were into THOSE cartoons. The ones infamously filled with scantily clad girls and gratuitous violent action. Now anime is quite mainstream, but it does lack the feel of fun silly type of 80s/90s anime. There's more variety now, but I do miss some old anime shows.
@@FlameVisit. Oh yeah. I have a *deep* fondness for 80's/90's vintage anime. Even the dubbed stuff. I'm not a huge fan of dubs in general, but it's like "uncharted territory" with the retro stuff. Back in the day they were trying to bring stuff that was very niche to a western audience and I was absolutely enamored with the quality of the art and the stories that Japanese anime provided.
I keep telling myself that I want to collect retro anime on VHS and Laserdisc formats, but never gave it a try. Maybe I will this year.
I even have a fondness for openings (not just the anime intro) but the "credits"? of the studios involved.
Anything from Bandai Visual/Sunrise/EMOTION 🗿and I get, ahem, a little emotional.
thats vaporwave
>japanese anime stories about chad characters....
>Ends up as a liberal socialist
Our local affilate showed the Ocean dub of "Dragon Ball" before "Z."
This really shaped my creativity as a young artist. Glad I grew up during those times
Me too. :) I wish SyFy channel today would bring it back. What happened to this channel? it used to be awesome.
>ended up working in Mass Defect: Androgina.
Ah Yes, ... a mystical magical time in TV history that might never ever (IMHO) be repeated:
"Saturday Anime" on the Sci Fi Channel. 🧐🍷👌👍😎
ya we had no idea how lucky we all were to get curated content we all had to watch lol
Without wearing those rose-tinted glasses, this was so awesome. It was a must for me to catch it every week. And even now, while I'm rewatching these promos, I feel excitement.
Looking back, it's amazing these anime were allowed to air on US television, much less on Saturday mornings. Even edited, they were still pushed things to the limit. No way this would happen today on network TV.
Years from now, old heads like us will teach these kids about learning anime from the 90's, without understanding, without struggle. This is our fucking job. Teach them, champions. Educate them on our struggle.
scifi used to air so many great anime films
Its saturday morning, you crawl out of bed, you go grab your favorite cereal pour it into a bowl and try not to splash any milk on the counter.
You walk carefully to the sofa and try not to spill any cereal.
You turn on your favorite cartoons.
Life is great.
The Syfy channel used to be fun to watch back in the early 90's all way up to the late 200.
Those promos get me stoked.
Thank you for this. Having cable back in the day in my home what monumental experience this was. Oh I miss old school sci-fi channel.
I don’t remember half of what I watched, but loved Saturday Anime.
This became my Saturday morning after we got cable
WOW Lily cat is AMONGUS
gem
Wasn't there also a promo for Saturday Anime that was intercut with live action footage of Apollo Smile singing what sounded like The Voices of Spring?
We have Vincent Price at home.
Toonami was definitely inspired by these promos!
Yep
This was anime blood violence and boba😅
man, where can i see some of this japanese animation stuff, it's so edgy! XD
I believe that Boomers held the secret to this information, unfortunately they were all destroyed by the Knight Sabers heh...
that's right... or did they? dun dun DUNNNN!
"Robot Carnival" was definitely on Tubi as recently as a year ago. I caught "Akira" and "Bubblegum" crisis on Funimation before they merged with Crunchyroll.
just throw this in the cryogenics and were all cooked
I'm looking for an anime that was about humans, androids and plant people living together in the future. They would be called first, seconds and thirds.
Are you perhaps thinking of "Armitage III"?
@flameVisitwhat is the one where earth is invaded by aliens and they put them in pods stasis like things
How did they find an English girl in Japan?
Better than toonami
Does anyone here remember a 90s animation of a teenager with a mouth in his hand?
Parasite?
@@JnEricsonx 90s cartoon?? anything link?
@@danielcamacho667 Just saying I think they did a anime called that. Unless you're thinking of Vampire Hunter D, and D was noo teenager.
@@JnEricsonx I know vampire Hunter D series and movie but still fell that there is a tv series similar with a teenager with a mouth in his hand 🤣✌️
