How come I watched Tagalog dubbed anime?


Between the mid 1990s & the late 2000s, Filipino children watched Tagalog dubbed anime on TV & they enjoyed it except for me. Tagalog dubbed anime started with Voltes V on IBC 13 in 1989 & it was short-lived. In the early 1990s, ABS-CBN started airing Tagalog dubbed anime & it will continue the tradition for years to come. Just before August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT, Tagalog dubbed anime shows were aired on TV networks such as ABC, GMA & IBC. In the 2000s, most Tagalog dubbed anime shows were aired as well like on RPN, Studio 23 & Q. In 1998, I watched Ghost Fighter on IBC before it aired on GMA a year after. I watched Mojacko on GMA between 1998 & late 1999 & I don't like when it's not English dubbed. I don't even like Dragon Ball Z on GMA ether because it uses the word Kamehame-wave instead of Kamehameha. After Ghost Fighter disappears on GMA on August 6, 1999 Friday, it comes back in the mid 2000s. In 2006, I watched a cable channel called Hero & it's a channel that airs Tagalog dubbed anime shows. Between October 30, 2009 Friday & today, I don't like Tagalog dubbed anime in my life. I guess ABC still airs Sailor Moon as of August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT. I'd rather skip it for now.

Those were my days

I remember watching animated TV shows in English on every Local networks in the Philippines like ABS-CBN, ABC, GMA & RPN & I watched every animated show in English on UHF networks like Studio 23 & Q. That's between August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT & February 13, 2008 at 10:25 am PHT when I was 4 to 12 years old at that time, I already watched Christian animated shows on ZOE-TV between April 19, 1998 Sunday & August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT. It been 8 years since I watched TV when it was not Christian related. I was in Sulucan, Bocaue, Bulacan back then & I was moved to Quezon City in 2007. The shows that I watched on every Local networks in the Philippines were Superman: The Animated Series, The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, Codename: Kids Next Door, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, SpongeBob SquarePants, Rainbow Fish, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, Pokémon, The New Woody Woodpecker Show, Dragon Tales & more. I also watched shows on UHF networks like Batman Beyond, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai X, Justice League, Franklin, X-Men Evolution, Poochini, Voltron: The Third Dimension & The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Holy Week is what my parents enjoy between 1995 & 1999 when I was from a baby to a Preschooler when they watch Holy Week specials on TV. During the late 1990's before August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT, my parents buy pirated VHSs & VCDs of some animated movies when we're not in a movie theater in every mall like SM & Robinsons. The problem is that the end credits were cut off when every movie is over. After that, my parents buy original VCDs of animated movies like Toy Story 2, Shrek 2, Madagascar, Over the Hedge, Chicken Little & Monsters Inc. Between 1999 & 2002, I watched Sesame Street on GMA during Seasons 30 to 32 every Weekday morning which I enjoyed the animated segments than the street scenes involving the Muppet characters which were not really animated characters. I refuse to watch CGI & Stop-motion movies between the late 1990's & the early 2000's until October of 2005, although I watched Robots & Madagascar in a movie theater in SM already before October in 2005. From 2006 onward, I enjoyed Computer animated movies & TV shows such as Bee Movie, Cars (film), Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Pet Alien, Open Season (2006 film), Meet the Robinsons, Over the Hedge (film), The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Kung Fu Panda, Space Chimps & more. As far as I can know, there are 3 Computer animated movies released in Philippines as of August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT which is Toy Story, Antz & A Bug's Life. Before & After August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT, I watched movie trailers of upcoming animated movies on IBC which I sadly didn't go a movie theater in every mall like SM & Robinsons when the movie's released. From 2002 to 2005, I lost my chance on watching Disney Channel when Home Cable removed it. Nickelodeon was also removed from the cable lineup until 2003, few months before the Post-1948 Warner Bros. cartoons first aired on Cartoon Network in my country. In 2000, I watched Popeye and Son on RPN 9 before I watched The All New Popeye Show on Cartoon Network a few years later. As a kid, the shows that I have to mute the volume are Codename: Kids Next Door & Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends but I decide it to watch with volume after October of 2005. I avoid watching Tagalog dubbed anime & cartoons before & after August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT because Tagalog is not my favorite language as of today. I should enjoy reliving those memories.

Those were my Power Ranger days

The Power Rangers shows that I watched on Cartoon Network's Toonami in my childhood were Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, S.P.D. & Mystic Force. I do like the Zord battles because the Megazord transformation sentences were awesome, but I sadly don't watch the first 9 seasons of Power Rangers from Mighty Morphin to Time Force on TV in original English language. Oh well.

I Love Cartoon Network



Back in the 1990's & 2000's, Cartoon Network is always in my childhood. My favorite show on Cartoon Network is Dexter's Laboratory. The one show that I watch but I didn't like is The All New Popeye Show.
