@@Segeric It is an honor. Thank you for 12 years of unbreakable memories so powerfully cherished that no one can take it from us. You & Starscreamlive are the Progenitors of [as] bump tubers & [as] bump music + you're 2 out of the 4 horsemen/guardians of [as] bump music & [as] GEN1 crew. Even though it's been a while since your last bump i knew you never left. You were always there as Overseer. Thank you Segeric for all that you've done for the [as] bump community. I've seen many [as] bump tubers come & go. I've seen some stop & produce their own music with [as] bumps as their inspiration. I've seen some stopped entirely & never heard from again. I've seen a [as] bump tuber start so strong, so bright that it ended half as long he's called Hurleyboi8787, I'm sure you've heard or seen his bumps. Hit after hit then... nothing, just nothing. It's been at this point 12 years & nothing. His last, arguably his best titled: "Adult Swim Bump Blue" has got to be in the top 100 even top 50 [as] bump music of all time. I've seen newbies in the [as] bump community the past few years emerge. This 1 in particular has potential. He's called Justin Hendon. He started in November 2018, i know that doesn't sound new but compared to you or Starscreamlive it's new. He's like a mixture of you & Starscreamlive. I'd argue he's the best of [as] GEN2 & still going. I haven't left a comment in any of his videos at the time of me typing this but i was always there watching & listening. He's got spunk, determination, & commitment. Like i said a mixture of you & starscream. & if he's reading this waterfall of texts... I'm proud of him. I'm sorry if this is too much text segeric but you need to know that you & Starscream have created something immaculate. Something that grew with us for over 13 years. I've been a humble listener in the community but over time i became an Archiver. & just like the bronze age or ice age in history this community had a golden age AKA GEN1 but i need a subtitled name for the Golden age/G1 & i hope in the future you & Starscream can talk together in agreement of what that subtitled is. Time for me to wrap up. It's been a pleasure Segeric, Thank You King 👑. For everything. & like i always say in every bump video: "& [as] always I'll be here waiting for the next bump cheers"
The way adult swim was able to develop it's own "personality" though speaking to the audience via bumps is one of the most fascinating phenomena of modern entertainment I can think of
[go to bed] is the equivalent of "well that concludes our broadcast for tonight. We hope you tune in tomorrow, but until then, have a wonderful night." And it's more recognizable.
am I the only one that thinks we have to somehow preserve and glorify these bumps? I can't help but gather nostalgic feelings of anxiously awaiting fma, inuyasha, evangelion, bebop, etc... these bumps were adultswim itself.
+Dionne exactly. its so good to know... one day i will bring it back to adultswims attention. idgaf what i have to do, they cant brush off their talents of yesterday. where did it all go wrong as? your not the same! wheres oblongs, futurama, venture bros,....
It's weird how even Adult Swim makes a 5 AM bump whose title is asking you to sleep, like if they already knew you're not supposed to be awaken and should go to work/live your life. This may sound alienated as hell, but it looks like Adult Swim is the only self-aware television network up there...
But we need to keep in mind is. Once the moment is over then what happens after is unknown. We are stuck this way until we go to our inevitable graves. Then you remember the moment you had and you get sad you can never go back to that same moment again as it’s stuck as one large memory forgotten by time. Sleep tight 😁.
I miss early to late 2000's adult swim nights. There was something special about watching anime at 2am on a hot summer night in the dark. The mid rolls like this just made everything come together in a unique feeling.
All the shows and overall vibe were so fun and chill. I was a teenager too, that era is super nostalgic now that I'm an adult with nothing but responsibilities. If we could just go back even for a day 😭
Yo you got that exactly right. Thats what is missing. I'm remembering laying in my bed window open feeling the breeze and hearing the peaceful stillness of the night.
Literally I've NEVER heard anything so beautiful since Samurai Champloo's music. This was the music I used to say goodbye to Saturdays, usually at night. Sunday was boring and then before you knew it, it was Monday again.
This reminds me of a simple time in life. Early 20s, just met the love of my life. We make love at night and then lay in bed watching family guy, robot chicken, athf, metalacolypse. 15 years later, still together with 3 kids. ❤
i dont think growing up is fun. i dont like to think, that someday, within 30 years, i have to witness half of my family's death. mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, etc. back when i lived in the big city, i had lots of fond memories, and i always remember, after a long day of playing wii, or shooting the shit out of my brother with my nerf guns, dad would come home from work, and i would watch CN, only to come to 8pm. I wish we could go back in time, or live forever. no words explain how much i miss those simpler times, and how much they mean to me. this video brought me right back. thank you for bringing this masterpiece upon me. edit: today, my father was let go of his job after 22 years. i feel saddened to know that this job he has put work into, doing his share, seeing him come home after work for my 14 years of life, will no longer be an occurrence. i miss the big city and it makes it worse to know he has been let go. this isn't a sob story, but just a reminder of life can be absolute shit, but things always resolve them self and get better. thank you for taking time out of your day to read this. edit 6/27/21: hello and im still alive and well. ive learned to take things slow and enjoy them while i can. i got into a relationship around october with the most beautiful person i know. we are still together and going strong. i've gotten out of my more 'depressive' stage and more into a kicked back and relaxed stage, ive found a new hobby and thats collecting old iphones and jailbreaking them and tweaking them, sometimes ever repairing them. thank you guys for coming back every now and again and checking on me as im still alive and kicking.
I feel the same way, I get depressed cause of it, I hate knowing I won't be able to do alot of the things I used to do with family, friends, just absolutely sucks, I always go through alot of memories before a go to bed every night and think how fun and good life was back then. I'm now on the verge of becoming an adult and it's scary to think about, I use to watch adult swim alot when I went to my dad's house, it was good times.
I loved all these bumps back in the day. I remember way back in 2004 after playing Midnight Club II around 4 in the morning the stills of Tokyo with such serene music filled my room as I switched off my PS2 to my cable. It was one of the moments of my early teenage years I always will remember.
The music really relaxes the nerves and makes you think of fond memories. Hard to believe it has been over 10 years since these bumps started showing up.
as a young kid with divorcing parents, life not making sense, so on so on, I'd often be up all night. Watching family guy, robot chicken, aqua teen, etc. was incredible on those late nights and the little title cards and bumps in between shows on top of the humor was so comforting. This takes me back.
I decided to have a family without all the nonsense. divorce is not an option. our will not be faced with it. you can do the same. make something great.
i remember one time i was tripping bad in a dark room with just the tv glare,and my friend turned on the light and it was like the holy spirit walked into the room
POV : Year ‘08 summer night, wake up from a nap you hear Adult swim’s beats playing in the background after you left Tv on. Then you hop on Xbox load up mw2 and play all night with your buddies. Good memories ❤️
i feel sad that I missed Toonami as a kid :( I was always scared to watch it cause if my parents saw, they'd think it was weird and take TV away completely. hearing all this amazing music now, and finally getting into shows like Samurai champloo and Trigun...maaaan it must've been an experience to tune into this block late at night
It really was something to behold. Like being a part of something new and controversial. It was so stark and bold in its programming and seeming freedom of direction, you couldn’t help but be drawn in. Sorry you missed out on it. But in all honesty having these bumps and watching the show directly afterward would garner you the same affect
@@shaibrry I've had a similar experience. I remember years ago in the summertime, sleeping over my grandma's with my cousins. While most of us would be knocked out later at night, sometimes I'd stay awake long enough to have the bumper on screen. All the lights would be off, we'd all be resting together, and the only source of light would be the TV on the wall. The sound would be low, but music still up enough to hear. It's one of those solace moments from a more carefree time in my life that I wish I could get back...
Play a thirty minute cartoon/anime that you love, watch a random commercial, then play some of this music for a while. Then repeat, until its 5:59AM and youre about to fall asleep.
2012 - 17years old - finland : walking in snow sceneries forest with my father of heart with our beloved dog. Not knowing that it was his last winter and he won't make it until the next spring. I wish i could meet you again even if the time healed a hard pain and that i realized it was necesssary for my personal grown, i miss you Pepe Seessalo.. we see each others again in another time, love always rules.
I always get those feelings from music like this. It's painful but we all have to go through, that's life. Remember the life you have lived and thank everything thing that has happened to you. Life is supposed to be fun, it's a game. Enjoy it until you're battery runs out. Live in the now. That's all living things can do, that's their purpose. Peace and love.
I just found this song after a long journey. I hold a vivid memory of this song. I dated a girl for 3 years and after a certain point I started staying at her house. After we had been dating a year or so I remember waking up one night to the TV on; this bump was playing. It was deeply dark in the room, my girlfriend's still form sleeping next to me, with the dim glow of the television and this beautifully surreal song playing across the room. I remember just laying there for a while next to the woman I loved, breathing in the still beauty of the moment. I've never forgotten it and now I have found this song after so many years. I haven't spoken to that girl in a long time now. I still think of her from time to time. I need to go to bed.
@@_Cato_ Yes, maybe was on autoplay. Cause this is fake. The only regular sign offs I remember are The Dawn is Your Enremy & Adult Swim is Your Friend, as well as We'd Like to See You Try or Last Chance Saloon during anime before it would repeat at 2..
JUSXTREME96 You know your stuff! Kinda saddens me that this isn't legit, but I guess that doesn't take away from the memory itself. Thanks for the knowledge. Hope you're doing well, friend. :)
@@_Cato_ You're welcome, I been watching since 2005 or so when I would get up too early for school. I knew the bumps that would come on since it was the same every day. I would wake up every morning at 5am just for the Fun 4 Adults bump with the red pac man thing lol. Sorry I seemed to mess up your memory :( Maybe this was what you saw. It has a similar sounding song. My favorite sign off. Last Chance Saloon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lv5fwcABGVY.html
It's nice to know when I couldn't sleep, refused to sleep, etc, that I wasn't alone. There were so many other people just like me, wasting their life (with all due respect, of course) not knowing what to do with themselves. Though those years have passed, it's nice to know I shared that with so many different people and share the nostalgia still today.
I don't know if you still read these but over the last 9 years I end up finding my way back to your video. It's always a good listen and helps me relax. Thanks for uploading.
I come back here often and listen to these bumps in and off for the past 4-5 years. I’m with you! Sending you love and hope over the internet my friend!!
Last night I was watching old adult swim commercials from the early 2000s and it gave me the strongest sense of nostalgia ever. Today I found a comment on a 9/11 video and the persons playlists had this at the top of it. Life is so bizzare in every possible way and Its so incredible how we are all here for the same reason
True Story: I've been watching [adult swim] since 2006 just for the music like this. It literally calms me down after a hard day at school and get tormented by my parents.
I remember watching adult swim one night as a kid, it was a first time I had stayed up all night and seeing the pre-dawn twilight in the sky blew my mind. I felt truly conscious of the fluidity of time whereas before it felt segmented by my sleep cycle. "The world keep turning even when you sleep" is just one of the mind altering revelations I experienced thanks to adult swim. This music is more than just nostalgia, to me it represents expanding my horizons
This song is like lying in bed at 12 in the morning on a school night watching youtube and your phones about to die and your too lazy to put it on the charger
This is “Marilyn Set Me Free” by Casino Vs Japan. I recognised it instantly. I’ve been listening to his music for almost 10 years. He’s put loads of his music on Spotify and there is plenty to be found on RU-vid.
its a cold august night. you’re laying on your couch watching family guy. you smell a rose. then your dog or cat comes on the couch and lays with you. then this bump comes on:
I remember staying up way too late when I was younger and seeing these bumps and I’d make a game of trying to find the [AS] because sometimes they weren’t as obvious as others and if I didn’t find it then it was lost forever basically since I barely saw the same bump twice most of the time. I miss those days.
It’s weird to see this and remember how I used to see the Tokyo skyline in bumps but now see it in person. Life changes quickly. Grab it before it slips away
You don't even know how much nostalgia hit me when I found this song, like "You aren't sleeping tonight, you're going to be thinking of old memories and being sad".
Horroria YES! You read my mind. It's been horrible again for me lately, as I've been watching many videos of old TV shows, commercials, bumpers, etc. especially the golden age of Cartoon Network in the late '90s and first half of the 2000s.
Horroria I wish they would dedicate an entire channel to old TV shows. But like with old commercials and bumpers too, just as if we were watching TV in the past. Would be awesome :')
This was my favorite bump I ever heard on RU-vid. Found it in 2014 when I was in middle school during 7th grade. I remember staying up talking to a girl I liked and simply being a kid.
It's 11:00pm. Finally finished a shit ton of homework. Nothing interesting to watch on tv. I decide to listen to Adult Swim bump music on YT before getting some shuteye. That feeling is back; the feeling of wanting to go sleep, but also wanting to hear more. Oh Adult Swim why must you be so addicting?
one thing I'm not actually worried about with the younger gens is them having access to music. streaming has its downsides but not paying $1.30 per song anymore is pretty cool. Hopefully buying physical albums never goes away though
My parents were in a really toxic relationship together and would separate and get back together alot when I was really young and at one point I just remember living in a really shitty apartment and for the first time I saw adult swim on that tiny little CRT we had in my mom's bedroom and the sound of her coming home with her friend at 2 in the morning and they were playing one of the bumps I don't remember which one but I just remember how cozy and safe I felt in that moment under that big blanket which adult swim playing even though my life was chaotic and not conveniently great I didn't care I didn't stress at all I just felt happy to be under that blanket I wish I could feel safe like that again and not feel this constant pressure of stress, it's weird how my life can be objectively better in some ways yet I still feel like things were better back then, the mind of a child is something wonderful
This reminds me so much of my early mornings before class back in high-school and Cartoon-network's changes... man has time fly'ed by how i wish i could go back 🥹💕💖🌌
With all the attention [adult swim] is getting on tictok there better be more attention to these bumps. A. whole new generation is currently experiencing [as] for the first time and its amazing.
@LMSYDTYCOMF bro tell back in the day any tv show series or station what ever that had the charisma adult swim had like the closes thing I can say was that was comparable quality wise was cartoon network and like I said I not saying you have to like adult swim but I love different so that's why I said your trash but for thinking its whack but that's option your😌
... Why do we have to grow up? Why do we have to get older? Why do we need to be responsible and lose the things that gave our life joy? Why do we not realize what we have until it's long gone? So many "why" questions I ask, almost daily... Ever since I graduated high school, life has just... Sucked. A lot. It's been almost 7 years since that day. I'm still lost, confused, angry, tired, and if I could I'd be crying myself to sleep every night. If I could cry. The nostalgia hurts so much, yet it's comforting... Like a fire you are too close to yet can't move from, since it's the only light you have left... And it's flames get dimmer by the day, making way for the cold of the outside, of reality, of the world around us of cruelty, hatred, greed, and broken people. So much is wrong and you- I- can't escape it. If I could I would, but I can't. I'm terrified. The happy place I left behind, where life was just... Normal. Life was easy to understand and deal with. Now there's so many uncertainties and you're at the whim and mercy of people you don't even know just so you can make enough money to survive. Now there's all sorts of things you gotta do, take care of, deal with, from bills and taxes to news and voting to car care and house care to even just crawling your weak, broken body out of bed to drive to work for an ungrateful, soulless corporation or business that will throw you away the second it deems that you leaving will save it a penny or two. Why can't we just go back to what we had? What I had? Just waking up, go to school, come back, and not care about the world outside because that world is not mine? So many different things just flood into the mind of someone who becomes 18, realizing that everything you've done before was completely pointless and all your school did was teach you a bunch of stuff you have absolutely no need to know instead of teaching you how to handle the world that is now yours instead of theirs. It hurts so much. It gives me a headache almost daily. It makes noises, voices, echo around my head that just get louder and louder each day. I want it to stop. I want to go back. Back before life was shit. When life was good. Why... Why... Just... Why...
This pretty much sums it up... The only pleasure I have after a long day of work, is to sit in my dark room, play adult swim bumps and plot on my next move.
Ain't nothing like the smell of fresh dew in the morning, the sight of the sun rising calling out for a new day, the sound of birds chirping and singing melodically. A new day, but the same ol' stuff. And it's doomed to be repeated. ( hopefully )
i just remember one summer I'd watch adult swim and the bumps were just hitting extra hard. 2018 i think. ever since i come here and to other songs because they just make me feel happy. Abstract lady is one of the bumps i remember most.
man...back in day i remember every saturday night, Big O and Gigantor would be the last shows to air on adult swim toonami before this bump came afterwards. then cartoon network would come on at 6am and show captain planet and loony toons. good memories
Alec Bowers The bump back then was the Dawn is your Enemy. I know cause Big O & Gigantor were the last shows when I first started watching [as] in 2005. I actually remember thinking the TV was broken cause Gigantor was black and white. Then wondered why it was on adult swim cause it seemed like a kid show. I was 9 at the time.
I relate to this so hard. I remember waking up in the middle of the night a some years ago and then turning this vid on and just thinking. Just picked up a casino vs Japan album the other day, been thinking about this track heavy since then.
