I love Steve Blum

Four years later... and its back!

I just realized this is Cascade by Tycho

Back when Cartoon Network was at its darkest times. This was one of those moments when all hope for the channel was lost. Luckily it took them 4 years for Adult Swim to own the rights & brought the block.

I stopped watching actual TV before 2008 so i didn't see the toonami farewell outro

Early Gen Z/Late Millennials' anime 9/11

This aged BADLY

Bro is reborn

My childhood memories it's been a blast, stay up !!! Toonami

Mi consola es wii

Pregunta ya tengo el remate pero ahora quiero que mi super estrella creada lo tenga como puedo hacerlo

And then he came back in 2012

Those toonami dudes put so much heart into that stuff. R.i.p. tom.

I’m tearing up

Goodbye, and good riddance.

I Saw every episode of Thundercats, and The Adult Swim thing was an April Fools joke, The night kids didn't sleep, The Kids brought it back. I was a loyal fan to the end.

Anyone in 2024? Note: im from 1982 (joke)

How wild it is that not only did Toonami return, but now it's making its way back to prime time.

Good news, toonami is back as Toonami Rewind on Adult Swim every Fridays at 5/4pm Central replacing Checkered Past’s block, which is now only run on Mondays-Thursdays on Adult Swim. Toonami has returned, welcome back.

CN: is the end of toonami... AS: or is it???

Stay gold

Weid to think that Toonami has been on Adult Swim longer than Cartoon Network.

This aged well [ik im 12 Years late]

0:28 Tom: Stay gold for you!

Tom with a face just doesn't look right.

Funny I was born in 97 and it feels like the world started to die in 2008 😂

Adult Swim and Toonami alas.... Loved many shows but once they started shoving male audience anime and having it dominate the line up with few geared towards us ladies I walked away. Originals like Shaman King in the original adaptation was and still is like Rurouni Kenshin amd others geared towards not just male audience was amazing and what the 90's kids like myself grew up with and loved watching....that is till Netflix and others readapted and ruined it and changed the voice overs that didn't fit nor work with the character and was total turn off destroying a once loved anime. There were other Anime a diamond in the rough so to speak that didn't get a chanceand were truly loved by many , but never got the chance to have the seasons or all episodes air on Adult Swim, Toonami or Fox Box like The Laws of Ueki, Soul Hunter, Ruroni Kenshin, KIBA, Rave Master, Escaflowne, Blue Seed, Record Lodus Wars, Nightwalker: The Midnight Detective, Yohko Mono Devil Hunter, Fushigi Yuggi, Haruka Beyond Streams of Time, Hirro no Kakera, Hanasakeru Seishounen, Shugo Chara, Karen Chibi Vampire, Saiunkoku Monogatari, Ray Earth, The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye, Winx Club and I mean the original series, while British Tv kept true and didn't cut the epsiodes down and showed it all the way through. Like many other Anime geared towards female audiences this was cut down and mucj from epsiodes missing just so the male dominated animes were given more platform. And yet these were also was ol' school but they either only showed an epsiode or few then left us hanging and so you had to find the Anime in DVD later to watch these amazing ol' school Anime the entire series were shortend or a few episodes played, but they were never as a diamond in the rough given a fair shake, and unfortunately much was being pushed in belief it was better at the time to gear towards male audiences and then a male and female audience as they did not get the big picture that females were also as well as much a big audience for watching anime mornings, days and nights. And unfortunately the broadcast didn't pay attention and pick up on that so they lost much of the audience once they reduced Anime that was geared for male and female audiences as they were not giving a fair chance to push Anime for female audiences as much as they were investing in the male audience and is part of the downfall.

2008 was a pretty shitty year looking back.

ı can see youn on every saturday nighton (as) you now we arefriends you can come with us too

That was up until the block returned on St Patrick's Day 2012.

Funimation on April 2nd, 2024

September 20th, 2008. Its due to them changing host designs and the show lineups were getting away from anime. Toonami is the CNs anime block.

Sheesh I saw this and thought that was recent like a few days ago. I'm so glad I saw this was 15 years ago and Tom is still hosting today. Thanks for posting this.
