The New Gabe Order Will Celebrate KQED Plus' (KQEH's) 60th Anniversary With A Spotlight Show Of The Science Fiction Night!

Salutations, anime fans. I am Gabriel Ramos, DJ and broadcaster of Toon Time Theater. October 19 will be a special day, because KQED Plus (KQEH) will turn 60 this year, and I wanted to showcase the programs of the Science Fiction Night that aired between 1996 and 2003. When I was born in Hayward, California, I had access to the network back when they were known as KTEH. However, I didn't know they aired science fiction anime on Sunday nights until I read about how Tenchi Universe aired on American TV networks for the first time. My brother got into Neon Genesis Evangelion because of KTEH, and since then, he watched the series from time to time.

On October 19 at 9 PM PDT, join me for a 7-series Spotlight Show showcasing select animated programs that aired on the KQED Plus Science Fiction Night back in the day. Plus, there will be a sneak peek of the New Gabe Order's special Toon Time Theater edition of Key the Metal Idol, which will reach the 30 year milestone this year.

Anyways, here are the lineups that will be played on October 19, but you don't have to take my word for it.

The inclusion of Key the Metal Idol is dedicated to my late father, Oscar Ramos, who was into computers and got me (and my brother) into computer technology. I had to use whatever I learned on VEGAS Pro and OpenToonz to edit all 15 episodes so Twitch would be less likely to confiscate my channel due to live-streaming risqué content. (Thanks, Dad. It's been a month since you lived until your last breath. Hopefully I'll use all your computer knowledge to help others in this world until I die one day.)

Nuku Nuku Nuu!

Out of all the science fiction anime I have watched in this KQEH Spotlight Show I have set up, it's safe to assume All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku is the most comedic of the bunch. I wouldn't take it too seriously, but there's ROBOTECH, Generator Gawl and Sakura Wars TAS to look forward to. CITY HUNTER? Let me think about it. I can tolerate KEY THE METAL IDOL and EVANGELION for sure. Believe it!

All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku: The Series Is Cropped On Freevee!

This is terrible. I was watching the first episode of All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku: The Series, but I wasn't expecting a pre-2010 anime to have 4:3 content getting cropped like this. I can understand due to part of the episodes enforcing a letterbox effect whenever a character gets introduced, but for the main meat of the episodes? Unacceptable. Better to buy the DISCs or something.

Two Sakuras? On KQED Plus?

I watched the first episode of Sakura Wars: The Animated Series (2000), and my mind was blown. First, Sakura Kuriyagawa (from KEY THE METAL IDOL), and now Sakura Shinguji. My mind was blown when there were two characters of the same first name. Too bad they're from two different animated series.

A Lineup Like No Other

The more I watch those KQED Plus (KQEH) science fiction anime, it feels as if I am in another world or in another timeline. I didn't get to check out the KQEH science fiction anime before, and I was seven years old when serial experiments lain was removed from the KQEH lineup. If I was born a lot earlier, and stayed in Hayward longer, I would have caught these programs more easily. Thankfully, my brother watched KQEH back when Urusei Yatsura and Neon Genesis EVANGELION was on Sunday nights. Sucks to be me.

Lately, I watched Generator Gawl and Sakura Wars: The Animated Series (2000), and these programs feel unpopular but old-school in some way. Thankfully, the more popular programs like ROBOTECH, TENCHI UNIVERSE and Neon Genesis EVANGELION did end up on networks like Cartoon Network, AZN Television, and the former channel's Adult Swim block. However, most other sci-fi anime on KQEH didn't get second chances.
