Happy Viewtiful Joe Day!

Today is a very special day. Exactly 4 years ago on this very day, the greatest anime to ever exist graced all of our North American television sets at exactly 10:30 A.M. I remember the day it aired like it was yesterday. I was so excited. I still remember the Newvember song when they said the line saying that Viewtiful Joe was making his debut onto the TV. I still have issues of Nintendo Power and Disney Adventures that had small articles on its coming. I sat in front of my TV all jittery. I couldn't wait. I REALLY wanted to see Gedow on the show since they're my favorite organization ever. I was waiting for that from day one. So it came on and I was blown away. At first I kept noting how different it was from the game, but then I decided to judge it for what it is. And what it was.... was spectacular. I loved it so much, and even my friend saw it and he thought it was awesome. The thing I remember most in the series was the very VERY end of episode 26, when it showed Gedow's ship flying toward earth. I was going "OH MY GOD! IT'S GEDOW! GEDOW'S IN THE NEXT SEASON! I CAN'T WAIT!" But even though I couldn't wait, I've had to for all these years and Phuuz is still not done adapting it to English
Then I got the DVDs. First I got volume 2 at Frys for a road trip so we could watch it on my mom's laptop and because episode 4 never aired in America at the time, I got volume 1 later. Then how I got volume 4 was one of the most memorable moments of my life. I got it as a birthday present, which I was going nuts about because I only thought 3 volumes were out. It was the best birthday present I ever got because it was so unexpected. I loved it! Then over a spawn of a few years I eventually got volumes 7, 8, 6, and 5 in that order. But I could never find a copy of volume 3 because Fry's didn't have it. Then on my last birthday I got an unexpected suprise. Yeah. Volume 3. You thought I went nuts before? You haven't seen anything. So now I never have to say "I have ALMOST the entire first season on DVD." Now I can say I have the ENTIRE season! It's magnificent.
Oh but things got better. On a band trip for our High School we went to an outlet mall. I didn't see many things I liked, but I did see a KB Toys, so I went in. I was looking around and thought to myself "I wonder if they have any Viewtiful Joe fig...." Then my heart skipped a beat. I saw then. Viewtiful Joe figures! each 6.99! (I think) Of course I grabbed 2 of them (they only had 2 sets) and sent them up to the checkout counter. And guess what. They were on clearnace for 99 cents. I was smiling for the rest of the ENTIRE day. I was one of the happiest days of my life.

Use this thread to post your experiences and life with Viewtiful Joe. And since it's Viewtiful Joe day, make sure you watch and play Viewtiful Joe like crazy. Keep the spirit alive. I'm going to watch episode 5 now.

I'm not going to watch that video because 1. he's probably some blasphemer who knows nothing about perfection, and 2. hence the subtitles and poor quality of the thumbnail, that's obviously the imperfect Japanese version.

You'd be in for a surprise watching it then.

It gives it a 4.9/5 due to shitty distribution.

I think it was posted however as to how you can clearly hear how retarded the reviewer is.

I do. Why? It's not like I made a thread celebrating Viewtiful Joe day on a date OTHER than Viewtiful Joe Day.
