Blue Submarine No.6, Or at least the beasties in it

So I was dabbling in the seemingly bottomless pools of my memory, when an image that hadn't crossed my mind in a very long time flashed across my consciousness.


This image rocked my nostalgia gland, sending me into a frenzy of mad delight at the beauty that I had once seen and loved.

Long, long ago, when Cartoon Network had a segment of anime shows called Toonami, it played a four part mini series called Blue Submarine No.6.

Based in the near future, a psychotic scientist has flooded the entire planet, released genetically altered mutants, and pushed humanity to the brink of extinction in a long and awesome war.

Now that we have that out of the way, we can talk about what really matters.
The monsters.

First up, the Musuca

At first glance, what appears to be a massive underwater vehicle is actualy a massive whale like monster, with psychic powers, and some insane tactical maneuvers.
Fun design.

But not as fun a design as Verg

This monstrous shark hybrid is jawsome to an extreme.
Owning a child like mentality, Verg is completely dedicated to the task of eleminating all of humanity from the face of the planet.
Violent, cruel, and unpredictable, he lashes out at other members of his naval forces in random fits of homicidal rage.
His sole purpose in life is to make his "papa" proud.

These little beauties don't seem to have names.

But do they need a name?
Really?
Look at those sweet faces, try to say you didn't go "daw!"
Seemingly hybrids of human, seal, squid, and fish DNA, these little weirdos are the main pawns and foot soldiers of Zorndyke's (evil scientist) forces.
They can be seen piloting motherfucking
robot lobsters the size of a house, which can fire off multiple cheap and fun attacks.
The only one that has to do with the story is a genetic variant wth red eyes named Mutio.
She is saved by the main protagonist and later returns the favor by saving and feeding him.

Not sure how to end this, just talk about the series and let it fall back and be forgotten or something.

Uh... Toonami was on the air until this year, or maybe the year before. And it didn't only play anime. That wasn't until after they murdered the first Tom. Before that they had Thundercats and the Real Adventures of Johny Quest and stuff. This is the best site for Toonami stuff, check the downloads for every single bump ever. Toonami Digital Arsenal

I kind of remember watching Blue Sub 6 when they first played it. I liked it then but I havn't seen it since. I was just looking into to buying it on DVD from Amazon, actually, but idk. It's hard as hell to find any production artwork online, too. Or at least I've had difficulty.

Ima load this onto spookingtons, and make it on demand. Im not a big anime fan, but this was one that really stuck with me. Especialy the scene with the little psychic girl, when she discribed the how the Musaca songs (the giant whale-subs) where black compaired to the dolphins

We all live in a... Wait...

Toonami went through a pretty weird series of events over in blighty. It started as a weekend slot on cartoon network, then it turned into CNX (the x is for XTREME) which was stuck in the ass-end of the channels at a stupid time of day, which showed wrestling for some reason, then it turned into the toonami channel, which showed live action shows like Life With Derek, and some show about australians surfing. Then the channel toonami was on turned into Cartoon Network Too, and all the shows that were on it got moved to Boomerang and now it's the present.

Who's Keegan, and why do you refer to him so oddly?

The "Still" is not needed.
I mentioned the thing twice last weak, no more than that.

Not to me.
You should apologise to everyone else for the bad post.

What?
All you ever do is reference bullshit that your are a fan of, stop it.

I'm growing rather un-fond of you.

I deleted it, you happy drama queen?

I doubt anyone even noticed my post, or if they did ignored it cause it is laughably bad.

No need to direct attention to something people would ignore.


I am still saying, that shark man/thing is still like that god awful guy from that shitty Megaman show, I will stand by that to the death.

About the un-fondness, I Palindrome.
