Ultimate Muscle

~~PWDESAI~~ · 02-21-2003, 08:04 PM

I'll be encoding tommorow's episode, since no one else seems to be encoding this series. Has it been put out on dvd or something?
Anyways, I'll encode it, and if I can ever find out a way to see the old episodes, I'll encode those as well.
If anyone has any information about this, please reply!
Oh yea, to those who thought my encodes were "crappy" i've gotten the ati tv wonder card to work, and the encode quality looks much better

I've never seen this series before...is it worth it?'cause i might check it out

As for the dvds, do you mean american dvds?

lhb412 · 02-21-2003, 09:00 PM

Ultimate Muscle is okay but the dubb is pretty bad, but not nearly is bad as Ultraman Tiga's, Japan's equivelent to Superman deserves better.

Anyone else seen the Ultimate Muscle toys? They look pretty good but unfortuantely they aren't selling well at all.

*Nickokapo* · 02-21-2003, 09:17 PM

Yeah most american anime dubs are usually bad, and i dont only mean bad acting.
But i cant find any kinikkuman sub so this will have to do

As for ultraman...first time i saw it i thought it was cheesy, which was unfair judging the year it was made, but kinda interesting too...i havent seen the toys, i might search for more info about em later.

Nick! You Read Kinnikuman Too??

*Nickokapo* · 02-21-2003, 09:33 PM

Not yet...

haven't been able to find a non-americanized version of the manga/show :p but i might when paul encodes it, even if its the usa version i gotta check it out

Ahhh i remember playing the nes game years ago not knowing what muscle was

best anime dubbing i have heard thus far goes to yu yu hakusho and lupin the 3rd. they seriously kick butt!

~~PWDESAI~~ · 02-21-2003, 11:29 PM

I dunno over here the ultimate muscle toys are sold out...

I'm seriously enjoying the series. I watched on against my better judement first the first while. Until Kid Muscle faced King Muscle. I laughed so hard at the episode. Since then I've watched it every weekend. As for the toys they look super cool, but they sell for 12.99 cdn up here, and that's quite pricey for an action figure. Especially since most cost anywhere from 7 to 9 bucks.

~~PWDESAI~~ · 02-22-2003, 08:37 AM

did anyone see the commercial where kid muscle and his trainer (forgot his name) were talking about the tmnt. That was funny. There are 4 turtles, yea but there's 2 shows! or w/e

~~PWDESAI~~ · 02-22-2003, 12:40 PM

I wasn't ready for a live capture, so i recorded it to vhs, hey it's better than nothing...

*Eye of Sarnath* · 02-22-2003, 12:51 PM

I saw that commercial. It was pretty funny.

I've only seen bits of Ultimate Muscle before TMNT, but it doesn't look too bad.

*Storm Wolf* · 02-22-2003, 02:22 PM

I tried not to watch it....but then it got interesting, and besides it takes up the time to The new TMNT, so.....you know......

though I'm in the middle of deciding weather I like it or not, I must say I don't like the way Kid muscle acts some time.....but thats because I'm into the more serious types of heros... and that fraidy cat act isn't too appealing...........but I have to admit it is pretty hilarious at times

*Jephael* · 02-22-2003, 03:43 PM

Anyone who thinks that the old TMNT cartoon was childish should see this show. I mean the old TMNT never pissed themselves or farted in public.

Peanut · 02-22-2003, 10:46 PM

Oh man when that guys takes a whiz! lol. It's like a freaking waterfall.

tekcop · 02-22-2003, 10:58 PM

I've it a couple of times. It's really funny. I was wondering, is the older Kinikkuman manga anything like Ultimate Muscle? I'd never heard of it until I read an article about it in Shonen Jump.

lhb412 · 02-23-2003, 08:18 PM

Cowboy Bebop has the best dubb ever in my opinion. Big O's dubb is great too (They were both done by the same company)

Did you know that there was a successful line of toys in America during the 80's called M.U.S.C.L.E. which was based on the original Kinnikuman cartoon.

I've never seen the show but the commercial cracked me up the first time i saw it.

beaker · 02-24-2003, 03:40 AM

Ok, I admit...I collected the little pink M.U.S.C.L.E. men(one of many fine Japanese toys that made its way stateside) but this new Ultimate Muscle show...oh man. If hammer to the head idiocy and fart finishing moves are your cup of tea...Again, this is a prime example why anime gets a bad name from folks(this, and every other UHF network channel kiddy anime)

Thank goodness for Cartoon Network showing Cowboy Bebop, Gundam series, Trigun, .hack//SIGN, and FINALLY later today...Neon Genesis Evangelion!

Those shows ain't that great. I tried to watch some of that stuff the other day, I nearly kicked my TV screen in after seeing about 4 minutes of some terrible excuse for animation called Lupin the 3rd.
