Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Listening to Kana's Korner and heard the conversation about Toonami. Reminded me about how much of an impact it had on me when it came to watching anime.

I really wish they would bring it back in the form of a TV channel. Nickelodeon has like 4 different channels. Cartoon Network has Boomerang for the old shows, why not make the Toonami channel to show off the old anime shows and new ones. I understand it can be hard to get old ones on because of different ownership but I would think they could make some sort of deal.

What are your opinions on this?

Also, it would have to be in the style of the old Toonami with Tom on the ship, not all the way with Moltar and not the thing it became right before it went off the air.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

I used to love toonami.

I was also disappointed when it was taken down.

I would love to see it rise again, it was a great place to find anime especially when you were a junior :D

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Well, it couldn't be the first Tom. The creature killed him.

Anyway, I agree. Toonami was a big part to Cartoon Network. Most of its rating probably came from that! I grew up watching it. From the midnight times to the 7pm, I loved it. Then, it was taken off. I gave up Cartoon Network after that. I only watch the channel for Adultswim.

It would of been cool for it to get its own channel, though.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

I don't Have Adult Swim :(

So toonami was the only channel with anime really =/

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Yup, everytime the time changed I would always catch it on it's new time.

When they went through that Miguzi phase, I think that's where it went down hill. They moved Toonami to just Saturday and then so on.

Yeah I remember how the first Tom was killed off. Just bring back Tom before they got those weird looking Robots before it went off air.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Yeah. All the good shows were gone after that. Good luck, Cartoon Network.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

:awesome:

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

lol their gonna need it

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Toonami was nothing compared to Cartoon Cartoons.

You want the golden days of Cartoon Network? That's it right there.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

I was talking anime relatedness but if we are going into how Cartoon Network use to be, then yeah...Cartoon Cartoons was where it was at. They really should have that around. It would be nice to see pilot episodes of cartoons and then get people's reactions to them instead of releasing a full show that no one likes.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

oh hell yes does anyone remember those awesome remixes? potery type things from Toonami? Those were the ♫♫♫♫ and the show opens were the bomb! :3

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Indeed, the bumpers were very awesome for each show. It also introduced alot of cool music (Daft Punk being my favorite)

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Sadly. Toonami was cancelled here a very, very long time ago.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Agreed! I miss those cartoons.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

The ending of Toonami was insanely sad in my opinion. I'm unaware if any of you actually tuned in, but it certainly felt like someone was jabbing me in the gut.


I really wonder what Steve Blum felt...

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Oh god...what the hell did they do to Tom?

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

I saw the ending to it all. It was indeed very sad. A big part of my childhood came to an end and so far, I have yet to really find anything to replace that empty hole they left from removing Toonami.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

It was also really awesome that he says Bang at the end. Im sure Cowboy Bebop fans wen't crazy for that.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

So sad T^T

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

I remember that one. That was when all the good animes were on. Heck, and the good Tom.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

wow those vids bring back memories I remember watching them when they were on tv.I used to run home from school knocking down people to see toonami.I liked it when they were showing movies on fridays like Gundam wing endless waltz and the DBZ movies.I ended up having to by outlaw star cause I never got to see all of it on toonami and I still watch it all the time.they do need to bring it back with the tom in the space ship.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Those videos were awesome! It's been so long! I always thought the ship was so badass; it was called The Absolution if I remember correctly. Good times.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

if i recall there was this special episode ware tom got hurt by some virus and had to be replaced or get a new body ....i forget what really happened its been so long .. i feel like an old man god

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

The vids just make me want toonami back more!

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Also because theres no toonami disney XD picked up Naruto shippuden

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

I don't like the anime naruto (doesn't mean i hate people who like it)
So when i heard about the disney channel thing, me and my friend lol'd
:tongue:

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

lol wut ^_^

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Yup, I saw that a few weeks ago. They are showing Naruto Shippuden on Disney XD. Kinda caught me off gaurd there.

Anyway all these videos bring back so much. They made the best bumpers for their shows...EVER. The music they used was phenomenal and really got me into that sort of electronica/Euro music.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

thats the same thing I said when I heard it to.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

I saw that while flipping through channels.

I don't really know what happened to the third Tom. They just replaced him. It happened once they got the Saturday night spot.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

I miss Moltar, lol

I miss the old Adult Swim Saturdays

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

lol yeah.

I remember when Adult Swim had the actual pool promos. They had a pretty good block of Anime back in the day, but now they just concentrate more on the other programming.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Well, it's still good anime now, it's just that it's the same anime they've been showing for five years. I swear they've run through Cowboy Bebop at least 10 times now.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Indeed, I want to see some of the older Gundam series or maybe bring back Tenchi Muyo. It should be diverse just like Toonami was...*sob

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

I thought that little fat Tom was the one that got hurt, so he was replaced with the awesome Tom who was tall and extremely manly.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Yeah I agree Gundam was one of the best anime they had on there although I liked Wing more then the other one.I havent heard about Tenchi Muyo in years that was a good one to.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

The first Tom got killed. I don't think the other Tom got hurt.. unless it was in the other special.

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

the first one got killed then the 2nd one went into a deep sleep or something along those lines i believe

Re: Bring Toonami Back (I wish :P)
 

Yeah, Turner Broadcasting really started a good phenomena introducing anime to a mass audience: Toonami. I didn't appreciate anime right away. I remember channel surfing while stuck in a motel outwaiting a Midwest snowstorm back then lamenting that there just wasn't anything worth watching on the tube. I settled for a "cartoon" about some Japanese school kid and his celestial friends (Tenchi Muyo). This show was funny while some of the other series airing at the time were palatable. Pretty soon I found myself going out of my way to schedule time to watch TV: TBS at a certain time in the afternoon. This is when I discovered Cowboy Bebop...I've been hooked ever since.
