All I remember was the ad for the PS1 game...I remember waking up at 5AM sometimes and watching DBZ. It was a different version than what was on Toonami.
Man I loved this show. My favorite show as a kid (I still have the soundtrack and listen to it). I reached out to both the voice actor for Kongo as well as the lead singer for the theme song and neither have any idea why the show was canceled. Just sucks because this was a really good show.
I've had the lyric "One day, out on his own" stuck in my head for over 20 years - and I'd never seen a second of this show until I looked up this video. I heard one commercial, *ONCE*.
I will always associate this show with vanilla ice cream, it was a treat my parents only occasionally bought that I only really had on weekends which is when this show aired. Tuned in, got my ice cream and enjoyed a morning that didn't involve being bussed to a child's prison called School. The funny thing is, this was on right when Dragonball Z was getting big, the Ocean group dub was what was on Toonami and some of the guys from there did the voices for this show. I remember flipping out when I heard Vegeta's voice coming from one of the characters and I think Piccolo's voice actor at the time too.
The vanilla ice cream comparison is spot on. It's another one of those brief, flash in the pan moments where its "I'm a kid, and I'm happy just to enjoy life as it happens." as opposed to very straight-forward: -This show is epic! -My LIFE IS EPIC and everything is PERFECT. The show was great, not necessarily epic. Even seemingly-epic, first-string quality and very long lifespan shows are not perfect and one of the main, best things about life is actually the memories of when the past was technically better than it really was and one should keep striving for their best in life and to at least get ongoing kicks off of having at least tried for better moments and not to get stuck in your own B.S. Yeah, I just double checked how long it lasted (at least the U.S.A. - English dub,) ONE season amounting to a horrible, mere 13 episodes! No wonder why I BARELY remember it! F-sakes. ...also, school is only as bad as the kid somehow figuring it somehow needs to be. lol.
I remember enjoying this as a kid, but I'm kinda shocked they just stopped making it. Ended on a cliffhanger if I remember correctly... I'm also shocked to learn that it wasn't made in the US either.

I could never understand the lyrics way back in 1998 when dinosaurs still ruled the Earth. So I googled them, and at some point in the last 30 years someone figured the out and transcribed them. There seems to be an extra verse too? When you monkey around, Good and evil are bound Came from out of this world Magic monkey unfurl One heart beating in stone One starts learning from zero One day out on his own Magic monkey my hero Monkey Magic Come on monkey Monkey Magic Come on monkey Come on monkey Monkey magic right now When I see you again I will call you my friend Came from out of this world Magic monkey unfurl One heart beating in stone One starts learning from zero One day out on his own Magic monkey my hero Monkey Magic Come on monkey Monkey Magic Come on monkey Come on monkey Monkey magic right now One heart beating in stone One starts learning from zero One day out on his own Magic monkey my hero Monkey Magic Come on monkey Monkey Magic Come on monkey Come on monkey Monkey magic right now Monkey magic right now
This came from an old 70’s Japanese tv show also called monkey magic with live action actors playing the characters in the 80’s and 90’s Australia had the dub of it but us American kids got the anime version in 98
@_ pobert-eii _ yeah. I mean, it was a fun game, for its time, but still. Although, I never was able to get past the second level, if I remember correctly.
@@masterag4068 Apparently, not just to you, my friend!!! Trust me, this is also a serious toe-tapping, headbanger if ever I heard one! And it makes my ears very happy, indeed! 😉
