Katana Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 :therock: Uh-huh... ARGH! I'm so mad at myself!

Luminaire Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 [color=crimson]Well, for those who missed it, you could try watching Adult Swim all week, they are bound to show the commercial more than once. Or, YOU could try to recording it. I have no webcam to get the video up and hooking the TV to the comp is not an option(TV is from 1987). But, I could make 10 copies of the tapes, send it to ten people who want it with a letter of who to send it to next if more people want it...but that might get complicated O_o;;;;; ~Lumi ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfbaden6 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Can somebody get a picture up of the slide? My friends and i thought we saw it and after a few minutes of talking we decided it wasn't real, but now that we hear all this, we believe!

James Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 [color=#707875]Hehe...no access to proof eh? ~_^ Yeah, I don't really believe anything without proof. But apparently someone has recorded it on VHS or something. I don't know. I'm still looking for a screen capture to confirm it. Although it makes me wonder...is Adult Swim in the habit of putting fan site stuff up? o_O I've only seen Adult Swim once but I've never noticed it.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 They mention sites randomly. I've seen bits where they give exact links to forum threads, so this is not out of the realm of possibility. I've heard it from enough random people that I believe it. It's not like ridiculous, so I don't get why it's worth questioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adult swim has a format of showing black cards with little messages on them so any proof you do see you can easily say "it's fake." Also it is something they would do, they make fun of the people on their forums from time to time through there also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Well, then, how can we prove it for sure, if it's so easy to manipulate said image? Don't get me wrong--I think it's wonderful if theOtaku.com has reached this far. But again, I never thought of us being that far up the ladder (if you know what I mean) before until this came up. Ah well, show me proof, then I shall be happy. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 [color=#707875]Semjaza's last post hit the nail on the head. But also, if Adult Swim have displayed anime fan sites before...I don't know why there'd be much doubt in that case. It shouldn't be a surprise. I'm actually amazed that so many people [i]don't[/i] know how large/popular/etc theOtaku.com is. lol As I said before, it's not the first time the site has been "displayed" on TV.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 [color=hotpink][size=1]I agree with James. TheOtaku.com is very popular. Everytime we have one of those "How did you find OB" threads, the majority of people say they were looking for anime stuff, was led to theOtaku.com and then joined the forums. So yes...I am with James.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegeta rocker Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 *snickers at clever placement of ad* okay it wasn't really me ^-^ but, that is pretty interesting. Now i feel like a part of history. If it had come on in the middle of a show like reign i probably would have killed myself. Hey,it was only a matter of time. This is hands down the best anime forum on the net.

Syk3 Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I suppose by only hearing this from a few people in this forum, you could have your doubts, but some of my friends who don't even go to this forum told me about it before I even had time to ask if they had seen it. It happened. I'm still getting over the shock about finding out about theOtaku being mentioned on Adult Swim, and I just wish I could have been there to watch it. I guess it isn't out of the realm of possibilities, but it's always a surprise to see a community that you're so attatched to be mentioned nation-wide, even if it was only for a few seconds. After I found out, I started looking around for screen captures or clips or something, but I didn't come up with anything, nor was I able to match anything on Adult Swim's Trigun section with theOtaku's. That's not to say that I'm not more than convinced that it happened, though. Now if only my name can get added to the staff page soon. <<; lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I have looked for the advertisement on the Adult Swim, but I haven't found it yet. I will keep on looking. Congrats to Adam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasrai Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 [COLOR=teal][SIZE=1]That is too awesome! ^-^ I wish I had been watching... But then again it's probably a good thing, because knowing me I would have went beserk and went EEEEEEEH! And pointing it out to my whole family... I'm just like that.<.< But anyways this is too cool So, to OtakuBoard's admin and staff...give yourself a cookie ^-^[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flava Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Ahh... I remember seeing thotaku.com flash during a break. And that was the first time I watched Adult Swim in over a year. It changed mucho. Anyway, I was somewhat sleepy that night and I thought I was hallucinating. o_o So when I saw that, I was like: Flava: *sleepily staring at the TV* [i]Whoa, I go there. Cool beans.[/i] I was recording something earlier that night; then I stopped the tape right after the show was over. X_x I could've helped those that didn't see it, but it wasn't meant to be... *hunches over and slinks her way out of the thread* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
