Former Home of Mega Man Star Force Dub Shuts Down

As of yesterday, Toonami Jetstream, the online video service that once streamed the english dubbed MegaMan Star Force animation, has closed its doors for good. Upon its closure, the following message was posted:

"We greatly appreciate all the fan support for Toonami Jetstream over the past years. Starting January 30, Naruto will make its new home on CN Video at CartoonNetwork.com. Fans of MAR, Blue Dragon, and other popular Viz Media series previously featured on Toonami Jetstream should check www.viz.com for future updates."

Sad to see yet another subsidiary of Toonami go. I never had the chance to enjoy Jetstream, but I was a veteran of ye' old Toonami block--back when the shows were good.

  2. Anonymous, what does the dub have to do with them? The dub stopped being hosted there for months and they weren't the ones who dubbed the anime, so where did that come form? O_o And this doesn't mean the dub episodes will never be seen again. Viz could always go for a DVD release.

    Anyway, looks like it's another nail to Cartoon Network's coffin for letting Toonami and Jetstream go. Just when you think they couldn't get any worse.

    Doesn't affect me though because for some reason I could never get access to it (Everytime I try they say it's only available for the US territories, but isn't Puerto Rico US territory too?).

  4. Being outside of the US, I never even got to see the dub, and with no DVD set, I remain Star Force-less. :(

    (I did get to see one ep someone sent me of the dub. I would like to see the rest.)

  6. I could only find the dub on youtube. O_o (But I only watched one episode because the dub was horrible. Watch the sub instead.) Toonami jetstream never had it when I checked. :(

  8. I was one of the lucky few who tuned in to jetstream for this series, since this was the only means of accessing Starforce before I got the games this past Christmas. I'm calling BullS*** on the claim that the dubs are horrible. The english dubs are tolerable, NOT horrible. I've heard FAR WORSE dubbings than this and to be honest, I enjoyed watching it. Since I have a region-free DVD Player here at the border, I'll consider the UK DVD set.
