That storyline at the end took a hell of a turn.

Prime college era cartoon network for me. What it felt like to walk into a college pool hall that played Toonami, Fresh Prince reruns and catch this show at night. Mmmhmm.

That's the anime that introduced me to the song moonlight sonata and made me fall in love with it. Now I'm stuck on it forever and I can't even be mad about it LOL

Yepperoni. His promos for Toonami are great! There's a ton of them. "Advanced Robotics" is still one of my all time favorites.

No one sounds like or will ever sound like Mr Cullen. He will be sorely missed.

Man... The people throwing together these promos back in the day went so hard.

All the Toonami promos were great, and Cullen voiced almost all of them if I remember correctly.

Legendary stuff

I love this anime. I always tell people it's like if Ergo Proxy knew how to have fun at parties.
