Its a bit funny how one quickly realizes there's a lot of parallels between SWAT KATS and Big O, just that one of them gets a lot more metaphorical in nature

A giant robot is probably better suited for fighting crime than a fighter jet (especially when most of the crime is using other giant robots). I don't really remember much of Swat Kats, but I'm pretty sure it didn't go into weird postapocalyptic existentialism.

The United States posted:Yeah sure why not, next up they can bring back Road Rovers or some poo poo so conflicted about this. on the one hand, i like the show, think it holds up quite well and even watch it every so often. but it's one of those cases where the reason it's memorable is because everything came together nearly perfectly: voice cast, music, animation, writing, etc. i don't mean to say SWAT KATS is a perfect show, per se, but what it did, it did well because of the synergy of all the things i mentioned. i mean, a huge part of why i still like SK to this day is the OST, and 95% of cartoons (and to be fair, live action shows in general) just suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck in this department nowadays. i mean i'll give it a chance, and some reboots have been great (Scooby Doo related shows, for example) but i'm not optimistic. drrockso20 posted:In spite of the name they aren't actually a SWAT team or even part of the police at all, they're vigilantes, the name is presumably just because it sounds cool the NYPD has a budget larger than many countries and they have robotic attack dogs. i don't think the idea of a police department having an air force is that much of a stretch  Xelkelvos posted:Not just a city state either, but one in the middle of a wasteland or desert iirc. it bordered one side on an ocean and the other on a desert drrockso20 posted:Its a bit funny how one quickly realizes there's a lot of parallels between SWAT KATS and Big O, just that one of them gets a lot more metaphorical in nature your post made me check out the intro to Big O for the first time in literally more than a decade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7_Od9CmTu0 one of the weirdest, yet also coolest anime intros

Given one mummy-themed villain and a desert setting, and the whole cat thing, I have the silly headcanon that Megakat City is a superpower equivalent of Alexandria or something. I need to watch The Big O, I mostly remember it being compared more to BTAS but with a giant robot.

If I remember right Pokemon's popularity was so high that 4Kids actually commissioned some new scenes of animation exclusively for the North American release of Pokémon 4Ever. The one with the Celebi pokemon, I think.

I didn't really like the plot of Big O back in the day, but god drat did it have one hell of an aesthetic. I'm pretty sure that Toonami didn't show the theme songs for a lot of the shows they aired, but they had other ways to promote their shows. Toonami had a lot of amazing promos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwO9PSe-uG4 I'd even say that some of the promos might misrepresent some shows by looking cooler than they actually were.

It was one of those that, like SlothfulCobra said earlier in the thread, Toonami kind lied in advertising. I mean, there's a lot of Batman-esque stuff there, but if you go expecting Batman you will be in for a shock.

Bruce Wayne with a giant robot but also a robot maid and in a weird semi-post-apocalyptic world but nobody even really knows what the apocalypse was and there are other giant robots. Tomatoes?!

Bat-Mite says theres multiple interpretations of batman , all valid. therefore one with a giant robot is valid. though the plot certainly does go places.

However even factoring that in it's still pretty good overall and the first season is drat near flawless.
