Cartoon Network got smart.
I was sitting here on the computer last night, bored as usual (Apart from making my new banner), when I decided to check on CartoonNetwork.com sheerly out of boredome. They had a wonderful little link to the re-vamped Toonami page, so I checked to see exactly when the new Saturday night lineup was coming. At about the same time, I heard that damn Bionicle movie playing on our TV in the other room. The second I clicked on the schedule page, my brother ran into the computer room yelling, "The new Toonami's on, the new Toonami's on!"
Now, I have been highly anticipating this new Toonami, for several reasons. The first one, of course, is that Cartoon Network's finally decided to seperate the more childish shows from the actual good anime (Aside from Dragonball..). I really had no reason to watch last until 10:30, because of the damn Bionicle movie. Gundam SEED was certainly interesting, especially compared to the crap the old Toonami's been vomiting up for the past year or two. Some of the character designs were rather bi-shounen-ey, and that's not good, but I'll live with it. Yuki Kajiura's theme song makes up for that. *light laughter*
And then came the Saturday Night Adult Swim revival. Ohh, how I have been anticipating this one. The original Saturday Night Toonami was so awesome, and the scene transitions for this new one were very sweet. They took footage of the streets of urban Japan, which for some reason was really, very cool, and for Animatrix they replaced the I in Adult Swim with a red or blue pill, depending on the transition.
The first time I had seen the Animatrix, I only saw it because it was one of those ground-breaking East/West collaboration things. At that point, I wasn't really too into The Matrix. I had seen the original movie, and enjoyed it, but I really didn't realize what cinematic genius it was until Revolutions. I enjoyed the more "traditional" Animatrix pieces the first time through, but watching it this time through I appreciated "Record" and "Kid's Story" more.
My parents dragged me to bed kicking and screaming before Cowboy Bebop was on. I didn't want to stop watching the only reason to be alive on Saturday nights.
Also, I was doing a nice little sketch page while watching Animatrix, and I must say I was in the zone last night. I drew what ended up being Misato in such a detailed way that one of my friends thought it was actually traced.. It was a very good page.
