@rinse-repeat I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I joined the military over 20 years ago and there was an Anime end theme I heard that Ive had in my head ever since. I searched for years trying to figure it out. I saw this upload and found out it was the ending to Android Kikaider (Adult Swim version). Couldn't believe it when I played it. Thanks for the nostalgic memories

I remember waiting up all night for adult swim for robot chicken and samurai jack man jumping off my bunk bed with the fake sword

I'm 9 years old again, waking up to these shows and commercials in the middle of the night at my grandmother's house. It's so weird how some of these commercials are deeply ingrained into my memories. Seeing the PS2 and Gameboy commercials hurt my heart. It's sad that I'll never live that era again.

Don’t sacrifice new memories to wallow in the past.

Kind of ironic that the first show on the program from 20 years ago is about lost memories. It hits hard when Angel said "people pay big bucks for memories"

It's 2003. You're 10. You fell asleep watching Cartoon Network but the tv stirred you awake with the surreal beats of the Adult Swim bumpers. You don't know what show it is, you've never even seen it advertised. The show isn't itself scary, but there's something unnerving about the tone of it. You like it, but you also have a strange feeling, like the tv is watching you back. Never have you felt so connected to a tv channel, but there's something about the quiet of the night contrasted with the bizarre tone of Adult Swim that is both unsettling and comforting.

I never liked big O

1:23:14 this ending is still one of the coolest I've seen. Kikaider, Trigun, Big O, Cowboy Bebop, and the 2003 FMA are what opened me up to darker, less kiddie anime. Love the atmosphere in Kikaider; the whole show was bittersweet at its highest point.

Laying in bed on a school night, can't sleep - watching Adult Swim. Never seen anime before and got enchanted by the vibe, suddenly way past bedtime a show comes on called cowboy bebop, a show that resonated with me while i lay wondering if someone else like me was laying in bed watching the same shows pondering life, getting some nostalgic vibe from the show and when it ends the outro song kicks in and you feel melancholic (the real folk blues). After the show, inuyasha comes on and you want to keep watching but you're eyes are feeling heavy, you put down the volume and leave the tv on, the conversations from the shows and the light from the tv act as a kind of night light as you drift away into sleep.

Thank you so much for this upload, toonami and adult swim meant a lot to me and a whole generation of teenagers, being able to see it again is just plain wonderful. I'm also watching Big O with my friend for his first time, and we've been doing the ones we can like this, and it makes it that much better.

Capturing the broadcast tv to the vhs. Uploading that to the World Wide Web. ‘Adult Swim’ was made for this more than anything else. 🥂

Same. Somewhat related, I recently went back and watched Sealab 2021 and there was the episode where Captain Murphy gets stuck under the Jazz Cola vending machine. I finally got the references that flew over my head as a kid lol. “Ah, Mango Reinhardt! The thinking man’s soda!”

I was a third grader watching adult swim and it literally changed my life for the better. 🎉

I miss sneaking out of my bed into the living room on school nights to watch Adult Swim

When big o came out I watched it with my dad. We had so much fun talking about the setting and enjoying the animation style. I got him a figure of big o, Roger and Dorothy that he keeps on his book shelf to this day.

No matter how old I get, the second I see an og Adult Swim bumper I just smile like a dumbass, weird to think I watched Cartoon Network as a kid only to become equally addicted to it's adult counterpart as I aged. Always been a great channel all around, even made me into a weeb in my teen years.

Thanks so fucking much for this. The only really positive memories I have with my father were watching [as] together. My dad decided i was mature enough for adult swim at the age of like fucking 8 or 9 (fuckin smooth move dad lmao) so like just after '04. His 2 fav anime from the early [as] lineup were definitively Big O and Trigun - and those like got me into anime early. Seeing both together in this comp along with Brak Show which he fucking adored, just thank you - a lot. Making me tear up over here. I've been trying to compile bumps for a project similar to this i wanted to do privately, but I have a shit ton, and some of those even just send chills down my spine to early childhood.

These always remind me of when I was 11 sneaking the TV on and watching it with the volume really low, listening for footsteps so I can turn it off before mom comes in and yells at me. The good old days... nostalgic

This was how I remember watching Trigun. I wish we can go back to this time.

This is one of the best lineups ive seen yet

This is my era. The first time i woke up late to Adult Swim. So many core memories were just unlocked... and i didnt even need a Negotiator

Watching this awoke vivid memories of this day I stayed up late all the time to catch adult swim and I remember laying down while everyone was asleep in front of the TV and being overall kinda disappointed with what was on that night until that guitar solo shook me up from nodding off. The show I was waiting for was finally on and what i was waiting for. Was Trigun. God what a sick ass Anime. Watching this made me actually appreciate some of the things they played a bit.

Wasn’t a adult swim/toonami kid and I was born way after most of these show aired but watched kikaider and big o a couple months back and they are such gems. I’m a huge fan of robots and those two shows fill my kick in different yet similar ways. Funnily enough their dub cast was shared, with the most noteworthy being the female leads sharing the same va. Though between the two, Kikaider from what I saw got done dirty in terms of its airing. Adult swim dubbed almost all of the anime content it had-only exception being a recap ep and a special crossover that served as its proper send off, but it didn’t come out when they did dub it anyways-but for some reason decided to air all the eps of kikaider within the same week, only taking a bit of a break when they moved on to dub the 4 ep ova sequel and afaik it never got reruns. It’s such a shame it had to take the bullet like that, given the creator of kikaider is the same dude as cyborg 009 which also aired on toonami and more famously Kamen rider. I feel it really what lead to it’s anime being so obscure despite the original Toku show being a bit known, which even with some of my gripes towards the anime it’s a bit of a shame as more people would definitely like it. At least big o got to shine in the west even if most of its fans now are old aha.

Even as an adult,i still stay up late on the weekend nights feeling like a kid watching classics like this 🤙

Sleeping to this last night was a blaze of memories. It felt like I was 6-8 again, trying to stay up to watch the next cool show. Eventually ending falling asleep to Android Kikaider. Not that it's bad but it was just time for bed.. Thank you rinse repeat. Please keep these up for years to come, so that one day I can too show my kids

I remember laying on my best friends living room floor(my choice she always offered the couch). (2002-2003). We were in highschool. The same bumfuck town in Ohio yet we were both born CA, watching adult swim. We would stay up, watch Conan O’Brian do his marionette routine (her favorite) and then quickly shift to adult swim (my favorite) we would make it through around 12 minutes of space ghost before we were snoring. Volume at max, her Mom has work in the morning, but lets us be. Falling asleep dreaming of Drax, and whatever tomorrow at school would bring us. The soul mates of best friends. (Almost 40 and still true, it was kismet meeting at 12.) A beautiful, light, simple time of just being to be. No money, no power and absolutely no concerns other than the ones of our own creation.
