Toonami trouble

    Many moons ago, while flicking thru the channels I came accross a 2 minute long advert for Toonami. While I generally do not like ads of this lenght, this one had a great song in the background.

    Recently while watching a show about drifting in Japan, I heard it again . Unfortunatly the shows titles didnt tell me its name either. I believe it might be japanese. Its a rock song with some real nice guitaring, dont think there are any words. Anyone have any idea of what the songs title might be?

    It contained clips from gundam wing, dragonball, possibly tenchi. At some point it goes quiet, you see the gundam Deathscythe jumps onto a carrier and is about to slash, then someone(possibly heero yui) calls out one more to go, and the music starts up again. I cant really think of anything else. If anyone has a link to a copy of the advert or preferably knows the name of the song and/or artist, it would be most helpful. Thanks a lot

    I know the music you are talking about. That add must be ages old now. hmmm I also heard that music in the Matrix Reloaded movie trailer with the fight with the hundreds of Smiths but not in the actual movie itself. Plus as far as I know if I remember correctly it is also the background music on the menu to the Animatrix DVD.

    Maybe that will help you on your quest to find the song, and if you find it tell me too!

    Also I think its also in Gran Turismo 3 under the name "Supermoves" but that brought no luck to me but that could be a starter point for you.

    If it leads me to the song you will have my eternal gratitude..

    Click there to hear a preview of the song in really bad quality.

    Plus if that is the correct song the name is Supermoves - Overseer


    http://www.mp3search.ru/search.html?q=Supermoves&target=&ref=3630

    This page actually has better sound quality and better part of the song

    thats not the one, i went looking earlier and found this song, but unfortunatly its not the one im looking for.
    Thanks for the help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 509 ✭✭✭Zen 2nd


    Are you sure? As I remember it being exactly that one and I don't tend to forget an add thats 2 minutes long.

    Yup, I might not have been so sure if i hadnt heard it only a few weeks ago, but thats definatly not it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 509 ✭✭✭Zen 2nd


    Well if you do find it, which will be extremely hard now, tell me when you get it. :D

    Is that not a dictionary definition of the usual Toonami line-up?

    Without being drawn into a DBZ is **** hot/ the suck fight, I must say that the English dub is not the best thing to go by to start with..
    The manga is a lot better and has none of the thing most ppl complain about, the constapation of powering up.. again the noises are most pronounced in the english dub, which doesnt help.
    There aer those who say that its all mindless powering up and a few fights, but DB has a huge, somewhat complex in places, story and the fact that it lasted the best part, f not more than, a decade showws that the show was(and to a degree still is) hugely popular.
    I would count myself as a DBZ fan, Ive watched it all and even gotten my hands on the generally poor quality movies just to see them..
    Its not for everyone,I agree, nothing is, but the DB manga is one of the funniest Ive ever read, And the latter (DBZ) manga are also quite good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 987 ✭✭✭psicic


    I personally would be willing to give DB a shot - but only if I could get a subtitled version. I've briefly watched a few episodes (of DB itself) and looks like a non-Americanised version might be okay.

    It's no Bleach though...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 t_rom/reaper


    i personaly dont think there is not a japanese cartoon[sorry dont know how to put it] that has been more popular:rolleyes: if you dont agree prove me wrong

    LMAO CuLT! I love how riled up you get when the DBZ fanboys drop by to inform everybody that "DBZ is teh ownz0r and is teh most statesticles big moneys makar from Japanz EVARRR prove meh wr0ng!2" :v:

    sorry for the off topicness, but I just had to give the nod there. And yes, *DBZ sucks.

    *may or may not be factual.

    Id advise getting your hands on the manga, its a lot better.. Its a lot easier (and cheaper) than trying to find subbed dvds.. I would go as far as saying it has both more laughs and more action than Bleach..

    Too true :)
    DBZ is my favourite anime, just for you CuLT.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭NeoSlicerZ


    You just said... DBZ... is better than Bleach.. HERETIC!!!!!

    After all those episodes Goku is still a kid who likes to fight.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 omegoku


    Yup, I did say that.. And I believe it, Im a bleach fan but its almost as drawn out as DBZ, and according to rumours its all filler for a while now..(Ive only seen 62 episodes). DBZ was far from the first anime I saw, but I do still love it.. I havent watched it in months all the same..

    How...I mean...62 episodes?

    Man, stop surfing the Wire, give boards a break, go to Animesuki (or where-ever you use) and download the next 8 episodes.... and stop listening to nasty rumours.

    HOW can you watch to episode 62 - the climax of such a huge story arc - and not go on to 63*?

    I almost feel like posting one of the many spoilers that have come up between episode 62 and episode 70 - just to punish you.

    Oh...I get it...you're trying to pretend there's life outside anime...NeoSlicerZ was right.

    HERETIC! HERETIC!

    ;)

    Health Warning: Ironically, episode 63 of Bleach is a double-episode...and does have a strong 'filler' feeling...the first half is a recap episode, the second half is spent loosely wrapping up a story arc that you spent 31 hours of your life watching!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭NeoSlicerZ


    Well the bleach filler is getting a bit more interesting.... Bleach Manga ftw.


    *resumes watching the entire series of Madlax*

    If you're an English teacher then I'm Lennox Lewis.

    btw, the word merchandising only has one "e".

    Edit: The only reason I'm not banning you is because, quite frankly, this is vaguely amusing. You're the perfect DBZ fanboy sterotype.

    Mr. Lewis - are you trying to make him cry like McCall back in '97? :D

    Their "reworking their demographic", which seems to mean turning the channel into a safe haven for cancelled 90s and 80s teen programming over the next month.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 t_rom/reaper


    yeahhhhhh i think does that mean more anime and dbz?????:o :confused::D :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 987 ✭✭✭psicic


    yeahhhhhh i think does that mean more anime and dbz?????:o :confused::D :rolleyes:

    No. It means the horrors of pre-teen American crap that haven't seen the light of day over here since the days of 'The Children's Channel' (anyone else remember that? :D ).

    And I'm not talking 'watchable-animated-crap' - I'm talking Parker Lewis can't lose et al.

    The show is 16 years old and they're hyping it like it's cool? Can anyone else say 'shrinking budget?' and 'last gasps of a badly run station?'

    (BRING BACK CNX - and this time when they print a schedule...they should actually fscking stick to it!!!!)

    Okay...I understand now.... Their delay was getting on my nerves, so I d/l'd from other subs groups. All were fine, Dattebayo is very good but I wouldn't recommend Hell-Fansubs

    OMFG!!!

    DOES THAT MEAN ONE PIECE WILL BE GONE?!

    DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT'S HAPPENING?

    And those shows will totally suck...I miss Outlaw Star and Gundam Wing and Teh Tenchi's on Toonami!
    They suck now...
    I'm so depressed now. Totally emo...I'm gonna go commit suicide with paper that has my suicide note written on it.

    Ooh, does anyone know about Bittorrent? I downloaded the complete One Piece manga collection off it and it won't work for me...-Sniff.- It took ages too! It'slike, 1GB!

    Oh, woe is me, very much so!

    And DBZ ruled...Not so much now, BUT IT DID!

    OP, is the song that you're thinking of sung by women? If it is, I think its sung by 3 women. I remember Toonami doing a piece on it, me thinks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 omegoku


    Update!
    Toonami is becoming CN Too!
    There are adds on rattling on about the best of Cartoon Netwrok and tonnami coming together.
    Lo and Behold, in the background is the same damn song I'm still looking for!
    Anyone who hears this song and knows what it is please, please let me know.
    Thanks a lot

    No it was sung by nobody as there was no words to sing. thanks for your interest.
