I don't know that I'd go to bat for Crystal Castles being an important 2000s group for today and I'm risking invoking a beep boop music infinitely genre-fied derail but calling it "uhh wasn't it just retrowave but earlier" is some "how about that techno" poo poo.

Not strictly 2000s, but I would say anime becoming popular/common knowledge had a boom in the early 2000s because of Toonami, Midnight run with things like Dragon Ball Z and Gundam Wing UNCUT, and with all of this leading to adult swim broadcasting Cowboy Bebop. The early 2000s was also when torrents became a thing and my first experience with torrents was of course with downloading the latest anime episodes. I remember being pretty amazed at being able to see anime as it released in Japan just a day later. Before torrents I don't remember watching any anime until it had already finished airing.

Toonami really owes a lot to Sailor Moon. Obviously everyone remembers DBZ, but they were the ones that took up the DiC syndicated episodes when the well of Thundercats started running dry. Then they gambled with spending the money to have Cloverway finish the second half of Sailor Moon R, which led to them doing S and deciding to acquire DBZ and finally get Goku past the Jayce & Berter fight. Or did they just facilitate the Canadian dubs that were done by YTV? It's hard to remember. Then they picked up Gundam Wing and Tenchi Muyo and launched the Saturday night anime block that got Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Cowboy Bebop over. FilthyImp has a new favorite as of 05:51 on Jul 11, 2020 |

Before Toonnami became the official anime block for adult swim it was just the anime us kids were allowed to watch. Mostly edited Dragon ball z and the like, but early days of adult swim if you stayed up past the toonnami block? You saw some weird poo poo. BIG O, BLUE GENDER (no one remembers this but me) COWBOY BEBOP, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO, INYUYAHSA ect ect. I believe YU YU HAKASHO was on the toonami block? Alot of this poo poo is Shonen Jump stuff. Objectively the most popular manga catalog and anime show series ever. Before this was all torrents or VHS that people managed to get. It kinda worked in animes favor tbh. COWBOY BEBOP is such an amazing anime and wasn't obscure enough to be confusing to western audience (besides a few episodes. remember that floating super assassin that was also a clown???) It's like, heres the best if the best, enjoy. it was a real win win ShortyMR.CAT has a new favorite as of 22:02 on Jul 13, 2020 |

I still remember the night when Adult Swim's saturday block first premiered. I was used to AS only airing on Sunday nights, so I was pretty excited to see it a day early... and with nothing but anime! The initial lineup was Cowboy Bebop (awesome!), uncensored Tenchi Muyo (yes!), uncensored Outlaw Star (double yes!), Yu Yu Hakusho (gently caress YEAH!!) and... this totally forgettable mecha show called Pilot Candidate (or "The Candidate for Goddess", since they didn't bother to change the title card). It only had a handful of episodes and I don't think AS ever bothered to rerun it since it was so unpopular, so if you blinked you missed it. The only thing I really remember about it is a) the CG intro that looks like it was rendered on a Sega Dreamcast and b) wondering why it was even on Adult Swim. I don't think it had any sexual or overly violent content - in fact, it was probably less violent than Gundam Wing which was airing around the same time on Toonami. Maybe they just thought it was too slow-moving for kids so they stuck it on the adult block? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jmxP_N1yC4

Mr. Bones posted:in fact, it was probably less violent than Gundam Wing which was airing around the same time on Toonami. Gundam Wing had finished airing a few months before Adult Swim came on. They replaced it with the original Mobile Suit Gundam on Toonami in July of ‘01, but 08th MS Team on Midnight Run. Adult Swim’s Saturday anime block started with another OVA, Gundam 0083, and they kept it around long enough to run the whole ~13 episodes at least twice. Toonami pulled the original series due to 9/11 when it only had 5 or 6 episodes left, citing the ‘violent content’, but everyone knew it was due to poor ratings of a show from 1979. It eventually got replaced by 08th MS a few weeks later and they added 0080 (Which is only 6 episodes) to Midnight Run, and those ran until around Christmas or maybe early 2002. Source: I loving taped all that poo poo back then cause buying the actual shows on VHS was too expensive. I’m pretty sure I still have some of them in a box somewhere

Had anyone mentioned that show Fear, on MTV? Group of 20 somethings get camera'd up and sent to spend some nights in haunted places, like abandoned prisons and asylums. They had to do challenges during the night, like collect dried blood from the lobotomy room, or hold a seance in the solitary cel. One challenge was to climb up real high on some equipment, slip a noose around their neck, and kick a huge cinderblock off the edge that was tied to the noose's rope (it wasn't really). I think they could walk at any moment, but forfeit the prize money of staying for the whole thing. I watched a fair few episodes even though that found footage horror genre gives me a profound case of the heebie geebies. And the theme song was done by loving Godsmack.

Man it was so heartbreaking as a kid to rewatch through the entire Saiyan arc on WB at 6am on Saturdays, the first half of Namec arc, filler and all, hoping that this time they've surely had time to make new episodes, see Jayce and Berter's super cool intro scene, and then next week the entire thing resets to the first episode AGAIN. I guess that's more of a 90s thing, though. The Moon Monster has a new favorite as of 14:43 on Jul 11, 2020 |

I remember pilot candidate not only having a bad dub but also being completely loving incomprehensible with those atrociously lame flashback or dream sequences with the main character in a cabin or some poo poo (???) and the dub actor trying and failing at sounding like a young boy saying stupid poo poo like "IM GOING OUTSIDE TODAY MOTHER" or whatever the gently caress It had so many other terrible tropes I'm amazed it aired at all, it was like (Almost) Everything Bad About 2000s Anime: The Series

Iirc that was around the time there was some fuckery with the higher-ups as they farmed the brand out to KidsWB and threw, like, Cardcaptor at it. They also pivoted the content a bit and added poo poo like Hamtaro which slowly ate away at the weekday block. They saved the good poo poo like Yuu Yuu and Cowboy for the Saturday Midnight Run. I actually accidentally tuned into the Midnight Run premiere and was super excited that Robotech was back on the air again.

Hell I think we discovered Adult Swim Saturday and Sunday completely by accident when they were both barely off the ground, seeing something like Cowboy Bebop blew me away There were some missteps but they made some cool choices in what they aired and I appreciated they did a bumper that was basically "Yeah we would absolutely loving kill to show Berserk and how awesome it is but yeah those final episodes lmao not happening. Ever."

Late 90s and early 2000s was my biggest weeb era, and as I was going to anime clubs at the time, I saw them growing bigger, and bigger and bigger. Not everyone had access to tapes or even internet downloads, so getting together on a Saturday to watch a few episodes of anime was the way to go. Like our Anime Convention we run doubled in size every year until we reached the attendance cap for the available facilities. We have a huge congress center, and 3 hotels! We get tens of thousands of people, and it took off before 2008. By now Anime is such a part of the nerd community, being in Evangelion or Attack on Titan is about the same as being into star wars or Batman.

Yu Yu Hakusho started out on Adult Swim more or less unedited, and then a lightly edited version started showing on Toonami a few years later. Also, I 100% remember Blue Gender. That was a series you were much, much better off watching elsewhere, because they straight up hacked it to pieces; it was originally meant to air on Toonami, but then I guess Cartoon Network decided the show was just fundamentally too much for Toonami regardless of how much they edited, so it went to Adult Swim. The problem here is that they still used the edit they meant to show on Toonami, which meant nearly every shot of violence against humans or aliens, nearly every swear word (even ones as mild as "drat" or "rear end"), and every single bit of sexual content got nuked from the show.

The Toonami/Adult Swim content edits were always a bit odd in the early 00’s, and then went some of them went completely insane in 2004 after Janet Jackson’s nipple. Example I remember best: Gundam SEED was an aggressively mediocre show, but the edits they made to it were insane and often nonsensical. Editing gore or sexual stuff wasn’t anything new. Replacing traditional machine gun sounds with more laser like effects, removing background noise so a firefight is mostly just the sounds of people running, and the infamous “disco guns” that only took effect like halfway into the series were something else. And this was a show that was airing at 10:30 PM on Saturdays. I’m more amazed they never heavily edited Cowboy Bebop that I can remember, or they were just more subtly done. EDIT: As an aside, the overall media edit sprees following 9/11 and Janet Jackson are some peak 00’s. Removing anything that might vaguely reference a terrorist attack or be slightly sexual from media that had been deemed acceptable for years was some insanity. fartknocker has a new favorite as of 20:16 on Jul 11, 2020 |

My wife (gf at the time) and I were pretty psyched to watch the next episode. It was kind of a thing because I never got into that genre, I thought it was dumb and hokey most of the time. Then it just became clear the next week that Fear was just another crap reality show, and each episode was progressively lamer. I gave up halfway through fourth episode.

I had completely forgotten about this show. I remember watching it thinking it must get good eventually since it is on adult swim and everything else they have shown was a big hit/pretty decent so I thought it was going to pull off some crazy Evangelion poo poo but instead was just poo poo. Also I recorded a ton of anime back then too. I remember right at the end of the original Frizea saga my family was going on our yearly road trip so I had to set the VCR to record the weeks worth of episodes however I was terrified of the power going off and resetting the VCR settings and missing it.

Hey look I'm a movie trailer from the early 2000s! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw Though Hey Ya was such a big hit, I feel like Roses got overlooked but that is another solid track with a great video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWju37TZfo0 That reminds me, there is a tune stuck in my head, and all i know is it was from a hip hop song from the early 2000s. It just goes "doot do doot doot do doot" over and over with a synth. twistedmentat has a new favorite as of 04:45 on Jul 21, 2020 |
