Toonami 20Th Anniversary Retrospective By: Syaoran Li the Intro Toonami 20th Anniversary Retrospective By: Syaoran Li The Intro: I’ve already written a review on the complete Intruder trilogy, but I decided to do a little something extra for the 20th anniversary of Toonami. Thus, here we are; taking a look over the history of the block, with some of my own memories mixed in, for good measure. It’s time to press the button. The beginning, and Moltar era (1997-1999): Toonami, like many aspects of early Cartoon Network, can trace its roots back to a little show called Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Premiering in 1994, this show was a parody of late-night talk shows, hosted by Space Ghost (Himself originating from the ‘60s Hanna- Barbera cartoon of the same name), with two villains from the original Space Ghost as his assistants: Zorak and Moltar. This show was Cartoon Network's first big hit, and helped to pave the road for not only Adult Swim, but also a block of action cartoons that aired weekday afternoons, called Toonami. On March 17, 1997, Toonami began its very first broadcast; hosted by none other than Moltar (Voiced by the late C. Martin Crocker), except instead of reusing the old animation cells as they did for SGC2C, they instead rendered Moltar in CGI, with the Ghost Planet Industries building using the same model used in the later SGC2C intros. Even from the start, you can tell that there was care put into it; the CGI honestly holds up quite well for its age, for how smoothly everything moves. The bumpers take place in the Ghost Planet Industries building, where SGC2C is hosted; making it feel like this is what Moltar does when he isn't helping to produce Space Ghost's talk show, and also when he's not watching reruns of CHiPs. "Oh yeah! Welcome to the Moltar Show!" -Moltar (SGC2C) Initially, it just consisted of mostly action cartoons they had the rights to, like Thundercats and The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest (Their newest show at the time, having premiered in '96), with the only anime series they had being Voltron. Eventually, they would obtain the rights to Sailor Moon, which became one of their first big shows, before obtaining a little show called Dragon Ball Z. There was more to the block than just the shows and the stylish bumpers; as Moltar would often give sage advice to the audience, on subjects such as teamwork and why they’re airing so many reruns. He even occasionally reviewed video games, as well. This aspect would become one of the defining aspects of the block, among other things we’ll get to as they happen. Sadly, I never got a chance to experience the Moltar era during its time; my crappy cable provider, which has changed their name more than their channel lineup, refused to add Cartoon Network for the longest time, and by the time they did, it was the TOM 1.0 era. I'm more familiar with Moltar on SGC2C, though from the clips I've seen of him hosting Toonami, he was great; it's honestly a shame I never got to see the block during his time hosting it. TOM 1.0 era (1999-2000): “My name is TOM. I’m the new Moltar” – TOM 1.0, in his introduction In 1999, Moltar was retired, along with its setting of the Ghost Planet Industries building. Now, Toonami was hosted aboard a spaceship called the GPS Absolution, with a small robot named TOM (Toonami Operations Module. Voiced by Sonny Strait) at the helm. Aside from the visuals, not much changed…though TOM was the focus of a lot of hatred from people that had been with Toonami from the start; feeling he was a poor replacement for Moltar...and, watching some clips of the early TOM 1.0 era, I can kinda see why; the presentation wasn't near as slick yet, on top of TOM's voice lacking the same grit of his predecessor. At one time, he was seen as a robotic Scrappy-Doo It was during this era, that my cable provider finally added Cartoon Network, and the first thing I saw when I flipped over was a Toonami broadcast of Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might. I’m almost 100% certain it was during the Toonami Full Cycle marathon on April 8, 2000, but I’m not completely certain of that. Regardless, not only did I finally get to see what this “Dragon Ball Z” thing was that people were going nuts over, but I also saw these cool bumpers featuring this robot that reminded me of Bomberman. I actually really liked TOM, to the point I drew fanart of him. Toonami quickly became my go-to weekday afternoon block, after that timeslot had been dominated by Fox Kids for almost my entire life up to that point. After all, why would I watch reruns of Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue, when Dragon Ball Z came on at the same time? Hell, I remember my mom rushing me home after we stayed overnight with her family, just because Outlaw Star was about to be on and they didn’t get Cartoon Network (We had other reasons for leaving so quickly, but that goes far beyond the scope of this retrospective). However, they did more than just weekday afternoons, as they’d run a late-night edition called the Midnight Run; aimed at an older demographic, with the shows having less censorship (Including, most famously, airing Gundam Wing completely uncut). They also ran a Saturday morning edition, called the Rising Sun; which mostly aired reruns, though they were the exclusive home of the DBZ Garlic Jr. Saga for a time. I remember one of the things they did over the summer was air the OVA, Blue Submarine No. 6; which my sister loved, though I was indifferent about it. Though, I do remember the bizarre censorship of it; as our main character had his cigarette digitally edited into a toothpick…but they didn’t remove the smoke coming from it, resulting in the birth of the “smoking toothpicks” in-joke with my sister. One of the first big things to happen was the first TIE (Total Immersion Event, though some sources call it a “Toonami Immersion Event”), called The Intruder, in fall ’00. I won’t go into detail on it here, since I already reviewed the entire Intruder trilogy, so I’ll skip it. TOM 2.0 era (2000-2003): In the aftermath of The Intruder, we were left with a new host; TOM 2.0; a taller and slimmer version of his previous self, voiced by none other than Steve Blum (Whom would voice every incarnation of TOM from this point onward). This proved to be a good move, as this incarnation was much better received than his predecessor He looked and sounded the part It was also during this era, that there were some…interesting experiments. For starters, there was the laughably bad Toonami on Kids WB, which was just the Kids WB Weekday block but with a Toonami sticker put on it. I did like the bumpers, as we saw TOM doing more than just sitting at a console, but without the iconic drum & bass music or an announcer with a gritty voice, it just didn’t work. Besides, they didn’t have the right kind of shows; Scooby-Doo is the last thing that comes to mind when I think of action cartoons. Thankfully, it was discontinued after a year. One show that premiered in this era, that I know a lot of people enjoyed, but I never really got into back in the day, was Zoids: Chaotic Century. As a kid, this show pissed me off for easily the stupidest reason possible: one of the pilots announced that he was going to "transform" his mech, and all that happened was that he went into some sort of chamber that swapped out the armor, which changed its abilities but didn't do much to change its physical appearance. Keep in mind, I was 11 years old at the time; they say "transform", I think it's going to be like Transformers. One of the stranger things I recall was how, sometime in spring 2001, they heavily promoted that they were going to play Sailor Moon R: The Movie...only to suddenly change their promos later into the week to say that Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone was airing instead. I never found any info on why the sudden change of plans, but they would eventually air that movie the following November. There were also attempts to air non-action shows, perhaps in an attempt to try and appeal to a broad audience. While nothing new, given the popularity of Tenchi Muyo during its run, it became more apparent in this era. The example everyone typically goes to is Hamtaro; which is a cutesy show about hamsters going on adventures, and in no way an action show. Because of it airing alongside Big O and DBZ, Hamtaro ended up becoming an in-joke among friends years later, as we jokingly describe it as “the most manly anime ever” and being “like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, but with hamsters”. Even TOM was confused about why they were airing this One of the things I do remember was a special edition of the Midnight Run, where they ran Interstella 5555; an animated special based on the music of Daft Punk (The first time I ever heard of them). I didn’t get to see it, but the group’s name stuck with me for years; when TRON Legacy came out long after the fact, and I heard Daft Punk did the soundtrack, I was like “oh yeah; those guys that did that thing for Toonami”.

  • Research Paper
    Research Paper TITLE: “Effects of Ben 10 on kids in the age- group 5 to 8 years.” Mrs. Devendar Sandhu Publication Date: 12/07/2014 Educational Technology Research Paper ii Abstract “The problem with our society is that our values aren‟t in the right place. There‟s an awful lot of bleeding and naked bodies on prime-time networks, but not nearly enough cable television on public programming.” ― Bauvard, Evergreens Are Prudish Technology has expanded the availability of information through various routes, such as, television, music, movies, internet and magazines. These routes avail children to endless learning venues about any issue that might be of interest to them. Television is a common media mode which is available to most Indian houses. As per the Turnaround Management Association „s TAM Annual Universe Update - 2010, India now has over 134 million households (out of 223 million) with television sets, of which over 103 million have access to Cable TV or Satellite TV. Kids are exposed to TV at a very young age and they view TV actively or passively without any filtrations, one program after the other. Unless parents are empowered with expert information, they are ill-equipped to judge which programs to place off-limits for their kids. This retrospective descriptive study explores whether kids and their parents felt the side effects of viewing Ben 10. The sample population of 30 kids in the age – group 5 to 8 years old and their parents participated in the research. Factors examined in the study were psychological effects, health effects, TV contents rating views, etc.

  • Animal Bites
    Updated 12/16/14/ INDEX ANIMAL BITES 3 BATS AND RABIES 6 CLASSROOM PETS- SALMONELLA 9 BED BUGS 11 HEAD LICE 13 SCABIES 15 WEST NILE VIRUS 17 APPENDICES 19 APPENDIX A: IMPORTANT CONTACT NUMBERS APPENDIX B: REPORTABLE DISEASE LIST APPENDIX C: OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASES 2 Updated 1/12/15 Return to Index Animal Bites Background: Most wild animals tend to avoid humans, but they can bite if they feel threatened, are protecting their young or territory, are injured or ill, or if people attempt to approach or feed them. Although bites by wild animals can be more dangerous, bites by domestic animals are far more common. Animals’ saliva can be heavily populated with harmful bacteria and secondary infections of wounds often occur. In addition, animals can transmit zoonotic infections such as rabies (See: Bats and Rabies for more Rabies Information), tetanus, hantavirus, etc. Children are more likely to be bitten by animals and can sometimes sustain severe injuries because of their love of animals and inherent curiosity. In a school setting, bites most frequently involve classroom pets; however, bites can also occur from stray pets or wild animals on campus, especially bats, or an animal being brought to school by a student. Common Classroom Pets Rodents (hamsters, rats, gerbils, mice) Reptiles (lizards, snakes, turtles) Amphibians (frogs, toads) Rabbits Fish None of these caged animals pose any rabies risk. The likelihood of a cat or a dog being infected with rabies in Maricopa County is low- the last known rabid dog was documented in 1978. However, if any animal is displaying the possible neurological signs of Rabies (See: Signs and Symptoms) it’s important to call the MCDPH 24/7 Rabies Hotline (602 747-7111) to receive a risk assessment.

  • Is Adult Swim Legal?
    Is Adult Swim Legal? I get it, trust me. You want to quietly relax by the neighborhood pool and forget about all of the other six million things that you have going on in your life. The problem is that when you get settled in at the pool, someone’s 4 year-old is doing cannonballs in the pool near you and you are getting soaked. “It sure would be great if adults had their own exclusive swim time,” you think. As you leave you mention this to the pool manager or lifeguard and you are then informed that indeed your Association has created an adults-only swim time. This sounds like just what you wanted. It sounds so reasonable – especially since the adults pay the assessments which are used to maintain the pool – and yet the truth of the matter is that “adults-only” swim times are in fact illegal under the Fair Housing Act. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the provision of facilities based on “familial status.” Basically, “familial status” exists where one or more persons under age 18 live with a parent or guardian. Homeowner associations and condominium associations are subject to the provisions of the Fair Housing Act and as such are barred from discriminating in providing access to amenities based on “familial status.” A recent California federal case struck down an Association’s adults-only swim time as discriminating on familial status. The Court reasoned that an adults-only swim time discriminates against other association members who have children by treating them differently from those without children.
