[William C. Maune]

This is the talkback thread for Jetstream Details Released at Anime Expo.

Straight from Anime Expo, more details about Toonami Jetstream are emerging now that we are only 2 weeks from launch.

So for anyone who was there, how was the PoT dub? Was it voiced by old professionals or was it mostly new talent (or a mix)?

no Zoids yet? well I don't want to watch a show about tennis or go so I'll try Mar at least even though I have no clue what it is

How come when I tried to make this thread it said that my account wasn't active? Are mods only allowed to make TZ Talkbacks?

 

[PC!]

Unlimited number of shows, eh? I wonder just how many episodes we'll get of each series when it starts up.

Behind the scenes stuff sounds neat. I wonder what exactly that entails...

"Downloadable treat"? I wonder...

I wonder wonder wonder...

Don't be so quick to write off the Prince of Tennis Rabi! This is not your pedestrian run of the mill tennis here, this is a life or death struggle! Ok, it's not life or death, but you should give this one a chance regardless, I think you might really be surprised by this one.

I think Zoids is supposed to launch later. Spreads the goodness out more. I think Prince of Tennis supposed to be like tennis meets DBZ.

I think anyone is supposed to be able to make a Talkback. I know other folks have had trouble before though. I'll ask Ben about it once he gets back from AX.

My guess is 4 to 6 episodes of each series at a time since they are updating every 4 to 6 weeks. I would have added an episode each week, but I'm not them.

I know all of that but I still say no

I think Zoids is supposed to launch later. Spreads the goodness out more.

I hope the goodness also extends to JL/JLU

 

[KYO'NYUU IMOUTO]

Must have...tPoT cast list. *Salivates*

Why, WHY must I have 56K???????

Well I can't say I'd be too dissapointed if the other planned shows (which were said to be coming later) didn't join. I'm not all that excited about Zoids Genesis and I never felt Mega Man fit anyway. But hopefully CN will get IGPX on this but perhaps they'll run into complications from Bandai or something. Though with E7 streaming on AnimeVillage I think Bandai should do the same with Gundam SEED Destiny and IGPX (if Jetstream can't show them).

Something special on air for the 15th? Well there's a Naruto marathon or perhaps they're just using that as a space marker. Anyone remember my old predictions that had a preview episode of the new Jetstream shows on that night? Maybe something like that. But more likely a Narutothon with previews between episodes or something.

And I too MUST KNOW the VAs for PoT. I heard it's a Studiopolis dub. If nothing else, anyone who saw it and can figure out who the VA of Ryoma was I'd greatly appreciate it if they would say who they at least think it was.

is there going to be any new anime shows that are good

My guess is 4 to 6 episodes of each series at a time since they are updating every 4 to 6 weeks. I would have added an episode each week, but I'm not them.

I think you missintrepeted this.

New episodes will appear online every Monday before noon, and will remain available for four to six weeks before being cycled out in favor of new content.

They cycle out episodes every four to six weeks. But it sounds like they'll add a new episode (for every series) every week. I wonder how many we'll get initially though. 1 each for six shows ain't bad. But 2 would be splended.

Prince of Tennis is fantastic.

Hikaru No Go is also quite good.

I don't know about MAR but it looks pretty good.

sorry i'm new here. what is Princess of Tennis about

sorry i'm new here. what is Princess of Tennis about

Pretty boys + Tennis + DBZ-like craziness.

It's a little hard to keep track of all the names at first, but the manga is friggin awesome. If only REAL tennis was like PoT. Then the sport would be cooler.

Of course, if it was like PoT, they'd have to put plexiglass around the court to protect the audience from the 200mph volleys everyone fires.

If we couldn't convince her to watch Full Metal Alchemist or Naruto do you really think we could convince her to watch Prince of Tennis?

Prince of Tennis has better character development.

That's exactly how it should be referred as.

Tennis. Yech.

Prince of Tennis has more pretty boys, though.

If the PoT guys were real, their sheer hotness would make both Backstreet Boys and N*Sync explode. Hence why roughly 70-80% of PoT's fans are fangirls.

And I'd like to see Andy Roddick try to hit a serve where the ball lands on the other side of the net, stays on the ground, spins around REALLY fast, then shoots straight into the opponet's face like a homing missile. Or hit a shot that manages to swerve around the net in an instant and still stay level. Or completely and utterly pwn your opponets with your right hand, even though you're left handed.

The only way it could get better than PoT is if Mario & co. invaded and brought along giant Pirana Plants and transforming courts.

Not only that, but my roommate, who absolutely hates pretty much every other Shonen Jump series out there, loves Prince of Tennis.

And it had to be doing SOMETHING right to be the #1 anime in Japan during most of its run. I mean, it got better ratings than Naruto (which was at its prime at the time), Pokémon, One Piece, EVERYTHING anime.
