![Shadow Raiders [War Planets] Review / Retrospective | Bull Session](/img/n.gif)
bless you for doing this retrospective
mind-blown that the mad-max parody episode end up becoming mad-max fury road and the writer working on it.
Same here; it's pretty incredible... and 20 freakin years after the fact too. Crazy.
Thank you! And a Papabless to you too! 🙏
P.S. Damn dude, I just checked out your channel. You're crazy tallented! I've got mad respect for animators.
Beast Wars and ReBoot were so... metal...
Literally; there was a liberal use of metal guitar haha
Hell yeah they were
We were spoiled as kids.
Not that the Lion King was any better.
Hellyeah thoes were my two favorite show growing up, now 20 years lather im a full blown metal head thnks beast wars and reboot 😂😂😂🤘🤘
Hexadecimal remains my favorite villain in animation. Shirley Milner's delivery played no small part in that. She was simply perfect for the role.
Yup; she's in contention with Tony Jay for the best of the voice cast.
Megabyte is my favorite vilain along with Hexadecimal.
Shocking that Shirley never got more notable voice roles afterwards (though she did well as Sister Yolanda from the English dub of Black Lagoon).
I like how the mech changes its mannerisms depending on who's talking.
That was a great little touch.
Season 2 really made Megabyte into one of the best tv villains of all time! I'll never forget seeing the season 2 finale when he sent bob to the web! it was shocking not too many kids shows at the time got rid of the main character and allowed the villain to win and reboot did it brilliantly
And ultimately it ended with the real possibility that megabyte would actually win it all...since season 4 ended in a cliffhanger
Woah! So we can thank Reboot for "Mad Max: Fury Road?" That's so awesome!
Yea, that completely blew my mind.
And yet no one can’t get Beyond Thunderdome.
Bad Bon sure is a meisterwork of animation.
Oh, and hi there, JTB.
Been watching your videos the last few weeks due to following the train wreck that is "The Guardian Code." Been enjoying it, but as much as I love ReBoot it's not quite enough to get me to-
😐
*Subscribed.*
hahaha!
Haha, I absolutely loved the "sing along" with the Beast Wars theme, that did it for me. Happy to support your work mate. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
cool I got here for the bad Reboot, and stay for good Reboot, and now I also look forward for Beast Wars...
Yup! Trying to turn the guardian code into a positive experience for myself through revisiting all these classics. Glad to have you aboard, captain Kuchiki.
Mainframe Studio was so ahead of its time.
It really was. Now-a-days though it's more like behind the times...
HOLY CRAP, you absolutely blew my mind with the Fury Road / Bad Bob connection! Why are there not more people freaking out about that part?! That's so cool!
I really liked these videos, even though I knew basically all this stuff beforehand. It's just great to hear someone talking about the show in general, since almost no one I know now ever watched it.
I know, that blew my mind as well!
It's true, there's almost nobody in my life who's familiar with ReBoot in any way other than vague recollection. In some ways, The Guardian Code has done some good in that all us 20somethings that remember and loved ReBoot and getting to reminisce about it online.
Or, you know, 30somethings. >__> I was ten when the show came out, which was kind of the perfect time, in a way. The show got darker and more mature as I turned 11, and I was 13 when season 3 kicked off, with its much-improved visuals and sudden desperation at the loss of Bob. Heck, Reboot even played into my discovery of Bond (which continues to be a franchise I cherish), with the Firewall episode.
Goldeneye007 was released in August, and I watched the film it was based on, then played the game, then Firewall was broadcast in September. I taped all the episodes back then, so when I rewatched it later, after catching most of the old Bond films on TV that fall, it suddenly made a lot more sense, and I realized the cultural cache Bond held, I suppose.
Anyway, my point was that Reboot's shift into the 'lost in the net' and the journey through the Web and the dark, dramatic return to Mainframe occurred parallel to my own development of appreciation for deeper, more serious storylines. Or Reboot might have even been one of the key things that made me appreciate that sort of material in general. (I'm probably giving it too much credit, though, I'm sure I was consuming other more
mature media somewhere).
I'd also like to encourage you (as others already have) to check out 'Shadow Raiders', aka 'War Planets', the other-other Mainframe show from back then. It seemed even more emotionally relevant/potent than Reboot, often. -- Also, we all know about beast wars/beasties, but you know about Beast Machines, right?
I'm glad you're covering Beast Wars too. Mainframe Entertainment owned me in the late 90s. It's all i would think about all day at school. What would happen next in the cartoons, what new ReBoot and Beast Wars toys I would find at the weekend whilst shopping. I too watched Web World Wars as it first aired. My god the gap between that and season 3 felt eternal as a child!
It really did seem to take forever. I remember actually being surprised it ended up coming back when it did
Initially int he UK they repeated the last few episodes of season 2 before airing season 3 so when I initially saw ReBoot was back on and tuned in I was so disappointed it was just repeats. Thank god a few episodes later I was blown away by the first episode of season 3. Right from the get go it was so much more cinematic in it's shots and with the improved CGI too it just seemed amazing.
I really like what you brought up about AndrAIa. It's one of those things that kids don't realize when we first watch it, but eventually we figure out exactly what happened. It's a moment of incredibly sharp writing that I admire so much. It demonstrates just how much creative effort the team put into the show. Another episode I admire for writing is Identity Crisis parts 1 and 2. I find that it's probably the best written story I've ever seen about believing in oneself.
I've watched through ReBoot something like 2 or 3 times since the DVDs came out, and this was the first time I noticed that detail about AndrAIa. Very sharp piece of writing, indeed.
There's also the moment between her and Enzo on S3E2 "Between A Raccoon & A Hard Place", where she just keeps on going with the steamroller (against the darn User varmint Rocky the Raccoon) despite Enzo's fear of her Icon not working properly.
For a young sprite with a then unrequited crush on the kid who gave a lot to her, she sure is willing to take sacrifices so to keep the love of her life and the ones he holds there safe and sound... we don't see such characters that often in television and even movies, games, and books.
One can almost argue. since it was so close in plot, to be inspiration for the movie Oblivion, But it may have just been a coincidence
Speaking of Tony Jay you should review Disney's Hunchback somewhere down the road so you can talk about his other most iconic role Claude Frollo. Hellfire, dark fire, now gypsy it's your turn...
Tony Jay was so iconic
Same for The Tick.
Bad Bob was the most memorable episode for me and my favorite of season 2. I remember in the late 90's my friends arguing with each other whether Megabyte was a truck or a train in the episode, but reruns on Toonami finally ended that debate.
Megatrain would also have been pretty metal.
I never even considered that about Andraia. That's pretty depressing.
Right?! I did a bit of a double take
Holy damn.. never thought of it that way, depressing indeed...
I loved the fact in that sentai Power Ranger styled episode, Phong's office was Jeff Tracy's office from Thunderbirds. Complete with secret launch routes to get to the machines.
Oh that's awesome! I totally missed that.
"Alright mega truck, LET'S GET BUSY!"
Omfg you've blown my mind knowing mad Max fury road has direct roots in reboot. I'm completely blown away!
Beleive me; my mind was blown also haha
The whole "can't think of what I was going to say followed by beast wars music in my head" was pretty much me during ALL of the 90s and mid 2000s
After all these years of rewatching the show...I just noticed little AndrAIa looks like she's really high with those bloodshot eyes.
hahaha yea I noticed that this time around too. Also that shot where Megabyte picks up Enzo by the neck his eyes are postively rose!
be waiting for "the hunt" for the rest of my life.
You're probably right, sadly... At least we got the musical number at the end of season 3
Same
Despite how dated Season 1 looked I think it looks better than season 4, which looked so over done that it approaches uncanny valley territory.
This is something I'll definitely be adressing in my review of season 4.
OMG MY CHILDHOOD. T-T I can't wait for Beasties....er....I mean Beast Wars!!!!
Yep; we're definitely gonna talk about the whole "Beasties" thing XD
Will always be Beasties to me :) Ah censorship but tbh I think forcing the staff to use show names that aren't quite so...on the nose made for more creative titles. E.g. War Planets vs. Shadow Raiders
Yea, I remember having my mind somewhat blown when I found out the show was called "Beast Wars" everywhere else. I always like to imagine an alternate universe where "Star Wars: Clone Wars" was called "Starries: Clonies" here in Canada
Loved Beast Wars.
Neo Politan
wait what? Beasties.......................................
thank god for the lack of censorship in Latin America...
I love this freaking show. I shouldn't have sold all the action figures I had, now I want to buy some just to display them.
I, too regret getting rid of mine :/
I feel the same way for gething rid of my beast wars action figures. I almost ad them all i regret it so much now some can only be both for 5 to 6 hundred dollars on ebay 😮😮😮
I’m watching season 2 on Tubi right now got 2 more seasons left
Ah, yes. the season where my favourite episode, the Web World Wars arc, comes from!
Seriously, the WWW arc has it all: great action, tense sequences, great writing, and a bleak, yet defiant cliffhanger.
And wait. Was the joke involving Bob calling out the Kirk and Picard spoofs about how they triggered an explosion inside the planet a reference to the premise of Star Trek: Generations?
It sure seemed like it to me; if not then the copyright flag I got for that clip was totally not worth it.
Oh. Right. Well, it seems like those two definitely aren't going to the Nexus...
C’mon Bob we all have villains turned into a Megatruck can’t you just get beyond Thunderdome?
You pretty much have to go and revisit the Seasons from the original series. It's the only way to remind you that the name _ReBoot_ was/is connected to a show that was/is phenomenal, and groundbreaking for its time... As opposed to the _Guardian Code_ which is just an abomination that doesn't even know which series it wants to rip off.
Yup! That's why I'm doing this.
Omg.... that reveal about AndrAIa... Never knew that.
I know right!? Blew my mind somewhat.
love the thunderbirds reference in the nullzilla episode, three of them is how they get to the vehicle hangers
I didn't even catch that one
Your like my 90’s spirit animal with these videos
Nullzilla amalgamated Power Rangers with Thunderbirds too.
As a fan of the show, the visuals NEVER look dated to me.
That Andraia bit made me feel horrible, poor thing. I love ReBoot season 2, but only ten episodes makes it feel too short, especially since Bob gets axed and I felt we needed a few more episodes with him as lead protagonist. He's just really cool and likeable. I also would have liked to see more of the Code Masters later on but the systems Enzo & Andraia explore still really made the universe feel big.
Haha, yea the Code Masters are never even mentioned again in the show after that one episode. They do show back up in the comic though.
Hexadecimal's character and voice was always what I like to hypothetically imagine Harley Quinn or more likely now Punchline to be like essentially if she ever actually had become like the Joker herself and not just his henchwoman. Especially that underrated Mark Hamil tier laugh Hexidecimal's VA always nails. Its just such a loss to think that she never voiced a Batman or Disney villain character with it.
As a 90s kid, I was too young to get these references.
Dang this show is hilarious 😂
I need to rewatch this!
It was so weird when learned that about that episode and Mad Max. After I saw Fury Road, I remember noticing the similar to Bad Bob. But I had not seen any of the other Mad Max movies so I had assumed that both the film and the episode were based on one of the earlier film that was mostly just one long car chase.
Fury Road having been the first in the Mad Max series I saw, I thought exactly the same thing the first time I watched it.
The Episode ‘Nullzilla’ is when Scott McNell joined the crew as Hack and a few characters.
And so began the adventures of Optimus Primal and Rattrap... sort of.
they put in a Stargate and king Gidorah WHAAAT :O
my mind is blown! i knew that the mcarthy from fury road sounded familiar! thankyou for the info!
You're very welcome!
Yo fun fact the whole series is on a TH-cam playlist
Yea! I dunno whether Shout Factory lets it stay up, or whether they put it there themselves, but it's pretty great regardless
Ye, it was nice to be able to watch through it agian
And tubi!!!!
Love Reboot. Love Beast Wars (Beasties). Great video. I'm glad Reboot went in this direction. Season 1 is good but the bigger stories that followed we just so good. The first and last arcs of season 3 are just the best.
That opera at the end of season three is the bomb
As Bad Bob was probably in my top five Reboot eps of all time, the story behind it and the subsequent events to the Mad Max franchise just blew my mind. ALPHANUMERIC! Thanks!
my mind was also blown. It's a pretty crazy connection!
ReBoot was a such an awesome show.
Just a quick note since this video was uploaded months ago, Andrea Libman who plays AndrAIa ‘From the episodes AndrAla to Game Over’ who later plays Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
Hard to think this show actually was the starting point for MLP: FiM's great VAs.
Man, I remember when they re-runned back to the pilot episode after season 2's cliff hanger. I was so disappointed!
yup, my fragile 5 year old mind just couldn't take it :(
At least that cliffhanger got resolved. That would have broken your mind had it not been so.
Would you consider doing a retrospective of Tripping The Rift as well. Along with Reboot was my other early CGI favorite TV show...
I do remember that show being pretty great, yea
I love Megatron's voice in Beast Wars as it is but sometimes I wonder how would the character "feel" if he had been voiced by Tony Jay just like Megabyte.
I think they had him voice Cryotek in the golden disc animations
I don't think Tony Jay voiced anyone in the Beast Era of Transformers.
So glad I found this channel. Reboot and Beast Wars (or should I say Beasties) are two of my favourite shows of all time, thanks to being a Canadian 90s kid.
holy shit, I did not realize AndrAIa made a copy of herself.. that's not just heartbreaking, it's foreshadowing.
8:47 wait.. that.. can't be right, right? People don't stick to BS&P because they fear getting canceled next season, they obey them because otherwise _the episode won't air_ isn't that how it works?
Fun Fact: "Bad Bob" was originally named "Bad Bob Beyond Thunderdome" before they had to shorten it for copyright issues.
No the over arcing story starts when Hex takes over the paint program cause mic is placed there to "keep her company" at the end
I don’t care what people say, She said the word ‘Damn’ and that’s a kids show.
Me and my friends all noted the similarities between Bad Bob and Fury Road, but we had no idea that it was intentional. As an animator myself, that is something we all dream of one day happening for us, and three different kinds of awesome.
Yea, its pretty insane when you think about it. Brendan McCarthy was a George Miller fan who worked his way up through the industry far enough to pitch his Mad Max idea to the man himself, then ended up making it with him. Sounds like a dream come true.
YES!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR BEAST WARS!!! Loving these reviews/retrospectives!
Thank you! I love making them too!
Dude, you blew my fucking mind with the AndrAIa backup thing
Yea it's very subtle, and quite sad
"Bad Bob" was my favorite back in the day - I didn't even know what a "Mad Max" were. Funnily enough, when I got older I actually became a huge fan of the Mad Max franchise.
Yup, same here. Totally blew my mind when I learned all this stuff about Fury Road while researching for this video.
0:54 Why did you spoil a part of season 3 by using footage that was a big thing in season 3!! That’s going to ruin it for people who haven’t watched season 3! Don’t spoil big plot threads from seasons 3 and 4 when you are reviewing season 2!!
Since you brought up Transformers, I would like to say that this show handled getting rid of its main hero way better than The Transformers movie did. Bob is not defeated thanks to the carelessness of a friend. He's defeated because Megabyte finally got the better of him. Even after Bob returns, Megabyte beating him has clearly shaken up his confidence.
Also even though Bob returned, forget kids shows, you rarely even see shows aimed at adults that do something as risky as writing their hero out of the series for the better part of a following season.
That's a great point
@@BullSession Thanks.
Hmm, what about the deaths on Beast Wars and Machines?
@@michaelandreipalon359 Well Optimus Primal's death didn't stick in BW, and a lot of the deaths were mostly done as a cost saving measure to introduce characters for the new toys. The major death that was done in a way that served to drive the story was Dinobot.
Good points.
in the sentai part, i think they may have chosen bug forms as an homage to Kamen Rider, as well. Maybe even metal heroes, as they were known for a few bug-themed series as well.
Fun fact, Beast Wars was actually the _third_ All-CGI cartoon aired. Technically Donkey Kong Country beat it to the punch by a few weeks. Y'know, unless September 16th comes before September 4th...
I never realised Mainframe was also responsible for Beast Wars. That wad definatly my favourite show as a child, maybe even to this day.
Yup, they sure were! Shadow Raiders as well.
I subscribed to you after your season 1 retrospective, and I'm kinda disappointed that TH-cam waited until MAY 8 to bring this video to my attention on my home page.
Great work. Beast Wars is one of my favorite shows ever as well. In your future videos, I hope you'll be able to touch upon their trials of animating both ReBoot and Beast Wars at the same time, and how the varying budgets between Beast Wars and its other programs at the time meant that certain shows could have special touches, like shadows for the characters, where Beast Wars generally didn't.
I remember when Beast Machines was announced, they made a big deal about the graphical upgrades, and how shadows would be used in that show.
Thanks for the support!
Unfortunately, TH-cam's algorithm tends to prioritize smaller channels like mine very low down on recomended pages, even for those who are subscribers. If you'd like to be notified of future releases like my upcoming Beast Wars Season 1 video (which should be out this Thursday or Friday), you can hit the notification bell and select "all uploads", though I do upload other content inbetween these retrospectives as well so if you think notifications for all that stuff might annoy you, you may just want to check back every now and then. So far I've been able to stick to a once every 2 weeks or so schedule for these longer videos.
I haven't heard much about the inter-series budgeting beyond what you've just told me -- The Beast Wars Season 1 video is too far along at this point, but I'd definitely be interested in reading up more on that for a future video. Beast Machines may be a good time to talk about that, or maybe Beast Wars Seasons 2 or 3.
Thank you for the info!
Great videos man. I friggin loved Reboot when i was a kid.
I kinda want you to go straight into season 3, cause like many that's my favorite, but I also love me some Beast Wars so... can't wait!
Yea! I figured it might be fun to cover Mainframe's early years in chronological order
Bull Session Well you were right!
Nullzilla also parodies Thunderbirds when they are going from the command centre and the way they get to there mechs. Nullzilla is my favourite episode of the series
Mainframe ent. also made a series that lasted 1 season 'Shadow raiders' Aliens who fight over planets etc.
Yup, I actually released a review of Shadow Raiders just last week.
th-cam.com/video/rZsCNqafeEE/w-d-xo.html
That moment when you realize Reboot did Soma in 3 minutes better than the game, and decades before it.
Eh man that little madmax detail was just amazing. Such a great video.
The plot of the season 1 finale of Beast Wars is also very similar to the plot of the Reboot season 2 finale. Especially the ending. Anyone else notice?
The Power Rangers Megazord/Gundam
Oh man, I remember Beast Wars! I had a VHS tape of that show that came with an action figure I got for Christmas. The tape had season 2 episodes in it, and I was always annoyed because it only had part 1 of the Fuzors arc and NOT PART 2. I eventually watched part 2 on TV, but I was always annoyed that the tape never included the second part of it.
I HATED it when the tapes did that! Not just Beat Wars; I feel like every kids show did that.
Yeah, that was annoying. I remember some tapes would even have episodes from unrelated shows. For example, I had a tape containing 90s Spider-Man episodes, but for some reason they also threw in episodes at the end of the tape from the crappy first season of Iron Man. It's like eating a big juicy burger, only to finish off with a pile of bland old broccoli.
Great job with these videos so far, can't wait for the next Reboots seasons and Beasties (Beast Wars). My Canadian childhood right there haha.
Thanks for the support! :)
Awaiting anxiously for Part 3! XD
Thank you :) Beast Wars Part 1 is up next, but ReBoot Part 3 will follow after!
your reboot series has netted you a new subscriber
Thanks! Glad to have you aboard
i absolutely love the "Bad Bob" episode it was so amazing. Also thee videos are great than you for doing them
You're very welcome!
P.S. 0:32 Hey, look! A 5-year old! Must be one of the writers for _ReBoot: The Guardian Code_ ...No, I'm serious. Apparently Michael Hefferon (R:tGC's creator) has a 5-year old (his son I believe) giving him ideas to use for the series. Not even little suggestions either, but critical plot devices. :P
Yea, I heard about that... What a clown that guy is.
TH-cam was made for videos like these
Dude, did you just DISS Sonic SATAM?
Nah, not really. A lot of those shows are still pretty good. They just follow a predetermined formula. That's the only point I was trying to make.
hmm people keep saying Reboot and Beast Wars were like the first fully CGI Animated Cartoons..but what about Donkey Kong Country?
Oh wow, you're right. Donkey Kong Country technically debuted 10 days before Beast Wars. I'll be sure to mention that in my Beast Wars video. Thanks!
Congratulations on your new subscriber!
favorite reference was mad max and batmobile
People talk about ReBoot and Beast Wars, but never Shadow Raiders. Sure, Shadow Raiders never had much in common with the other Mainframe shows (Aside from their usual voice-cast, and having Brendan McCarthy as the character designer once more) but it was still pretty awesome. It was a dark sci-fi opera for kids, while still featuring enough comedic elements so that it doesn't feel stale. Sadly, they end it on kind of a cliffhanger, even if they manage to resolve most of the plot threads.
I just looked up the OP for that and it brought back so many memories! I knew there was some other CG show out there at the time but, for some reason, I always thought it was something else. Some CG/live action show about teens turning into emergency vehicles and Action Man come to mind. I know I only watched like 2 or 3 episodes, but the cut-aways to the main and side characters feel extremely nostalgic.
Somehow I completely missed that show when I was a kid; when someone mentioned it in one of my comment sections I had to look it up. Mayhaps I will take a look at that show, too!
Bull Session You definitely should, it's aged remarkably well. On top of this, it's pretty much the precursor to Mass Effect. It's got a very similar plot structure, albeit with far more and finish and well-written ending (Despite the cliffhanger) Plus, it was unique seeing all these different planets and all the strange creatures that inhabit them.
Oh hell yeah that show was the tits, made up for that Heavy Gear travesty around the same time.
Oh man, I loved Shadow Raiders.
I LOVED this show!!!!! man what a great time I had growing up
Mad Max was by far my favorite reference of the season! Can't wait for the Beast Wars review! I feel like it had even more Saturday Morning cheese than Reboot did. Still loved it growing up though!
What it had in more cheese it definitely made up for by having waaaay more violence (being a syndicated show from the getgo), which was *so* metal when I was a kid. Can't wait to rewatch it!
reboot season 2 was amazing
Yea it was! I'll be covering Season 3 shortly
yup indeed and holy shit season 3 was epic as all hell :)
I flat out lost it when you started "singing" the BeastWars theme. Great work.
haha thank you
luv reboot , i thought i was the only one till they canceled the show and on the mainframe petition site where everyone came together to voice there anger}}}} seems like years ,, well it was !...nice research video.
Thanks!
BRUH the Mad Max parallel is so awesome! Thanks for pointing that out. Love this series.
really you should look up this guy he lists every siengel reference on movies and TV shows, this is his chanel
iiAFX
Cool I'll check him out!
what is the portal a reference to?
Stumbled on your videos and I’m glad I did. Really hope you do the final season of show. Also, subscribed 😁
Yup! I'll get there sooner rather than later. Thanks for watching :)
Bob gets shot into the web? Nooo!
Optimus gets shot into space and blows up? Nooo!
Hah! Believe it or not I never actually noticed the parallel there. Thanks!
I miss Reboot : (
there should be a video that shows every siengel reference in this show
That would be a very long video indeed.
I remember the LONG wait for Reboot Season 3 and how, during that long wait, I was flicking through channels and glimpsed what appeared to be a CG animated series on YTV. I screamed out for my sisters to 'hurry and get in here, there's a new Reboot episode on!" just for them to get there as I suddenly realized that "wait...this isn't reboot OMG ITS NEW TRANSFORMERS FROM THE REBOOT PEOPLE!". My little sister and I continued to watch Beasties religiously from that point on. All the time wondering if they would ever get that Reboot Season 3 done.
That's awesome haha! What a great way to get introduced to the franchise. I'm pretty sure I actually saw one or two episodes of Beast Machines first, then caught Beast Wars on reruns. I definitely did give up hope for a while there though that ReBoot Season 3 would actually come out.
Look, I can see their parachute's... They're OK! Good review.
Too bad it's SUNDAY. This review would have been filled with people tomorrow...
Bull Session lol they'll be here soon enough. Enjoying the reviews so far 👍
hahaha I was referencing this

As a HUGE Reboot (and Beast wars) fan, I Loved this video and your presentation style, Subscribed!
I've heard about the Mad Max Fury Road connection, but didn't know about the shared writers!
Also, my favourite parody was Trust No One, Did you notice that it's the last episode to have Mainframe with the nice blue sky it always had? Not until the very end.
Glad to have you aboard :) I did not notice that actually. Another great catch!
Yay another Reboot review! I was hoping you would do Season 3 at least before jumping into Beast Wars but I guess I can wait.
Looking forward to both Reviews! Subscribed and Notified for new content!
Thanks! Glad to have you along for the ride :) I figured it might be fun to go through Mainframe's early television ventures in production order.
Thanks for your ReBoot Retrospective, been a fan since its inception when I was ten years old on September 10th 1994!
Got the Shout! Studios (formerly known as Shout! Factory) ReBoot: The Definitive Mainframe Edition DVD Release for X-Mas 2019!
Watch it religiously ‘TIL this day!!!
Keep up the great work!!!
THAT'S WHY I LIKE FURY ROAD SO MUCH!!! Bad Bob was my all time favorite episode of Reboot episode! I can't believe I never saw it before! 🤯🤯🤯
I wonder what year it was when I first starting watching Reboot? I want to say 1998. It aired on Cartoon Network during Toonami. It was the only show on Toonami I ever watched. I'm thinking Reboot was on after Sailor Moon!
