"KNIGHT HUNTERS" IS BACK: IS IT JUST ME, OR...

The moment I saw the teaser on HeroTV that they were going to bring back the 8-year old Telesuccess-bought Knight Hunters [Weiss Kreuz to the rest of the anime-loving world], I was quite excited. 8 years ago, this was the anime that made me interested in watching Tagalized anime with its witty dubbing and cool plot. It was the first time I heard an anime where the Tagalog dubbing was quite modern and contemporary.

Hindi ko nalilimutan na abangan ang fateful day na ipapalabas ng HeroTV ito and today was it. Dec. 27. Saturdays at 12:30 pm. May replay pa mamaya at 5:30 pm para sa mga hindi ito naabutan. Di lang ako sure kung meron pa rin bukas...

Halata talaga na by today's standards, medyo makaluma na rin ang dubbing. Although nung panahon na yun, makabago pa ito. Westernized ang mga names ng guests - Marlon, Enrico, Michelle...

Pero is it just me dahil tumanda na ako or nawalan na talaga ng "cool factor" ang mga shows na ganito? Dati kasi, I found these guys to be cool. Vigilantes ba naman e. The idea of silent weapons was also a plus. Pero ngayon, I think of 4 guys na laging magkasama and WORKING IN A FLOWER SHOP... Yech... it's so gay! As in Queer Eye!!! Heheheh And I'm sure madaming sumusulat ng kabadingang fanfic tungkol sa mga lalaking ito...
