movies/tv The Return of Toonami

So unless your internet connection has been down for the past few days (which is the equivalent of living under a rock)

Toonami is back, May 26th. Fullmetal Alchemist and Bleach have been confirmed for the lineup, There was also a third show but I cant recall it.

So....Yeah. This shit was my childhood as I am a true 90's kid, born in 93.

I'm so excited.

One thing that I was hoping for, but would probably never ever happen is if MLP went to Toonami Adult Swim does know we bronies exist and even had a bumper about it. But it being on Toonami is virtually impossible, still nice to wonder about.

So what shows do you think are going to be added to the lineup? Im hoping Gurren Laggen and Code Geass make it, maybe Death Note. Or hell bring back DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho.

And lets not forget T.O.M voiced by Steve Blum, dat sexy ass voice.

I find it kinda upsetting, from what I saw apparently its almost the same Adult Swim line up, so really nothing's changed...

 

It's on much later than the original Toonami and it doesn't have some of the shows that made me love it (Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakisho, Zatch Bell, Naruto, One Piece, BoBoBoBoBoBoBo, etc.)

 

Basically they just changed the face, but not the inner workings.

 

Still... I guess it is nice to get Tom back.

[Eric Noecker 27]

Well wait till it comes out before throwing stones.

[OceanSapphire 227]

Give me Tenchi Muyo, Universe, Tokyo, and the movies and I will be happy. Original Naruto as well as some of the classics I haven't seen yet would be welcome.

[Arylett Charnoa 4,919]

I really have to wonder why they got rid of it in the first place if it was so popular and showcased some amazing animation.

 

Hopefully, it isn't just a rip-off of Adult Swim like Colton said. I'd love to see some Code Lyoko on it. Dragon Ball Z. And Pokémon, the original series. I also hope it brings back the prominence of dubbed anime, but that's just a lot to hope for at the moment, and something that probably won't happen. (Though I would love to see a redub of Sailor Moon air on it.)

[SilverSilence 3]

YAY! This is going to be great, I can't wait to see it! I wonder if they are going to show Sailor Moon?

[Doctor XFizzle 8,669]

This return means nothing if there's no DBZ on it

[Jadefire 2,797]

Needs more MLP, in my opinion.

 

Still, it'd be good to get T.O.M. back. x3

[Deidre Asada 163]

Yes it is true people its not a prank or a joke it is returning. You can read about it on this link that I will provide you with that has more information on toonami return.

IT was actually naruto that ended up ruining the old toonami. Back in 08 the president of CN, HATED anime, absolutely hated it. When Naruto was shown, ratings for toonami dropped. Ratings had been dropping for awhile (most likely because of the new TOM) So it wasnt ALL Narutos fault, but it was the final nail in the coffin. The president saw the lower ratings as a perfect excuse to pull the plug.

It can't really be a ripoff, since Adult Swim is technically still Cartoon Network.

[Crystal Sparkle 344]

Welp, I know where I'll be spending my Saturdays!

[Marcusaralius76 150]

What about Zoids? Hamtaro? Ruroni Kenshin? //hack?

 

Where's the good stuff?

[SearchlightToys 7]

I really think that it will end up being great. Coming back after such a long laps in time fan are sure to tune it. Ruroni Kenshin and //hack is actually what caught my eye in the first place and ultimately lead me in the direction of things such as MLP =] For that im greatful.

 

Did Toonami start off anyone else's animated film love?

[Rudolphin 76]

I just hope it lasts and theirs a good line up.

 

For me Toonami got me hooked with DBZ I used to watch it with my old man until they stopped airing it :/.

[Derpy Hoops 19]

All I care is, T.O.M is BACK!

[Shankveld 4,949]

They aren't really airing any of my fave animes, so I'm not excited ~

[Nas 2,873]

Next to eating some amazing food at Burger King, and either playing on my PSP or DS, Toonami was one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday night for a good period of time in my childhood....

 

While I'm glad as ever that they brought the block back, I'm kinda wondering what it'll mean, now that it seems more on the Adult Swim side rather than the Cartoon Network side...will the shows have an older demographic, will it mostly be anime? The shows I remember watching on Toonami were few animes, like One Piece, Naruto, Bobobo...whatever that show was, and as usual, Pokémon. Other shows were just regular primetime shows like Teen Titans. They also showed a lot of good movies too...come to think of it, more anime has been shown on there than I just thought...

 

I'm guessing they've aways been anime-crazy, even in my time of watching it...but anyways, I still hope they bring the other shows back that were rather enjoyable to me. And, also, some more hope has been restored for me of the cartoon world.

[SearchlightToys 7]

I was excited for cowboy bebop but I was expecting a little bit of a better selection

[Typhoon Gunner 7]

Glad to see that Toonami is back as well as the old TOM.

It will be interesting to see how this will affect the ratings if they did manage to get MLP on Toonami. Speaking of this reminded me of these fanmade toonami intros for MLP that I just seen recently. =D

Looked at the lineup.

 

Noticed no good shows are in it.

 

Moved on.

[Finesthour 7,287]

This makes me really sad, as I do not have Tv anymore.

 

I used to watch Toonami all the time when I was little, and I want to see it again!

[Staticthor Draconus 958]

I GIVE THIS A HUGE WOOT!!!

He had a lot of these. God, those were the days...
