I have issues with the idea of calling this a saturday morning cartoon or comparing its content to Justice League,


Compared to the USA, Japan has it great with the variety of Animation compared to USA offerings. We got what? Some kid that can transform into monsters and.....thats it.

I used to remember when most of the MAJOR NETWORKS offered a Saturday Morning Cartoon Block. Heck, I still remember waking up at 5AM to watch Sonic the Hedgehog on ABC. IIRC, most of the "well known" animation houses like Rankin/Bass, Sunbow Entertainment, and others are now defunct.

Punie is a dark take on Japan's equivalent of Saturday Morning cartoons seeing as it parodies a lot of kids shows, the Magical Girl genre specifically [Punie's Mom was apparently behind the wheel of the van that killed Minky Momo 0_O]. Really funny stuff- the suicidal vegetables are only the tip of the iceberg.

Go buy MB's dvd now- you'll thank yourself for doing so Smile

Meh. I own it, but it's no where near as funny as Ramen Fighter Miki (another MB title).

Pro tip: Today's the last day for the MB TRSI sale.[/plug]

Now, for the topic.

Media Blasters has confirmed with ANN that the box art shown in the video is theirs, but the video footage is "definitely from some fansub," as it features a different script and font than Media Blasters' official release.

So what?

From what I see, and based on the comments from this thread, I don't see any adverse issues with The Soup using the fan sub clip.

I'm a fan of the Soup so I this Friday... I was wondering when this was going to be here.

Same here, except that the clip was also shown on G4's AOTS over a month before it reached The Soup and it wasn't showcased here by my knowledge. The video dosen't work, but the scene was archived in the blog.
EDIT: I haven't seen any adverse issues about this either.

Nice for MB to confirm that it's alive.

Hanna-Barbera still exists. Unfortunately it's now called Cartoon Network.

It got me interested.

Free publicity on a popular television show, who would complain?

Nobody cares about G4 anymore. Heck, do they even do Video Game reviews anymore? And Olivia Munn is the biggest diva bitch ever.

Hey, it's called PLAYBOY for a reason; drop the top or go pose in Maxim!!

Um... Oliva Munn left, she's no longer on Attack of the Show, she left for a better job: The Daily Show, in fact she was on last night.

Yeah, she's been on a few times. Go watch the last third of last night's episode on their website.

Feh, I only watch Daily Show for Jon Stewart's witty dialogue in the first third.

Yeah, though X-Play doesn't play half as much as it used to.
