We all have flipped through the channels where adult swim plays late at night and late night anime is playing. Now when I was younger perhaps 10 maybe even 12 I was enamored with sword fighting and dragons and all sorts of magical and mythical things; however the adult in adult swim sorta throws me off considering that these CARTOONS are CARTOONS not actual shows. Now I'm not referring to Robot Chicken, or Family Guy, even Futurama has its place sometimes. I'm referring to the shows where all the main characters have the exact same voices played by Chinese and Japanese selected officials whom are forced into slavery to be the voices for these uber gay anime shows.
Strangely I caught myself watching these quasi Thundercat wannabees and these serial Transformer GI-Joe hack jobs and wondered no shit! this is why the world is so fucked up! When people view morally questionable and exceedingly stupid shows that only vaguely resemble the great cartoons of old, no wonder people are as they are. I mean I am not one to blame crime on cartoons, or drugs, or even dungeons and dragons! Blah! Fooey! People are inherently evil and inherently good, place a gun in one mans hand it shoots someone, place a loaf of bread in the other and people get fed, its not a cartoons fault, but stupidity can surely be linked to television, and questionable shows, sure the good guys are still fighting the bad guys in badly scripted sword and kung-fu battles, where new powers are discovered and young boys become of age, also all the 14year old girls in these shows are Lara Croft sized boobed and have lil submissive personalities, its borderline pedophile! but where is the freshness? Where is the new developments? Or is a don't fix what ain't broken mentality roll all through cartoon land?
Back to what this was truly about, the poor bastards who are locked up to voice this characters and strangely its all manga comic stories, which is loosely based on porn and the supernatural! So next time you are late night flippin and you see one of these shows on watch it for a few seconds....breath deeply...sigh....then laugh...because in all honesty a tv station that just showed old Thundercat, Transformer, Ninja Turtles, and Gi-Joe episodes would be a hell of a lot cooler. But then I guess we wouldn't be stimulating the economy full of Dragon Ball Z action figures and a vast array of shanty Pokemon movies. And we would no longer be supporting the slavery of these poor bastardized quasi celebrities whom are most likely locked in a sound studio cave somewhere.
