Cartoon Network Taking BOLD Moves To Win Millennials Back / Toonami Rewind Checkered Past Discussion

Please be sure to drop a like and sub if you enjoyed this disscusion. Share your thoughts below!
Wanted to talk over my thoughts on the recent announcement of Toonami Rewind and how Cartoon Network is taking steps to win back old school millennials back to TVs. Broadcasting Toonami weekday anime such as Sailor Moon Dragon Ball Z Kai and Naruto. And our classical shows from the 90s such as Dexter's Laboratory Ed Edd n Eddy The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy Courage the Cowardly Dog and Samurai Jack is very interesting. Let's see if CN / Adult Swim is taking the right approach to attack nostalgia.

Of course they announced shows like Ed Edd n Eddy are leaving HBO Max after I made this video Yikes

[@PuffyGeminiVictini]

Press F for Ed Edd N Eddy

[@nicklundy9965]

Honestly, i wish they could air titles that never aired on the network like obscure 90s anime like Escaflowne, Ranma or Slayers

[@rocketmanart7964]

I think this is cool that they are showing 90s and 2000s shows on adultswim for adults who grew up watching them as kids. And on Friday afternoon is Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z Kai, and Naruto.

I'd love to see Zatch Bell again

[@justcoldk]

Great pick

[@Chronoflation]

Watch (Gash) Bell is great! I rewatched it in college like 10 years ago and then continued into the last 50 episodes that were Japanese only and then straight into the manga cause it was just so good. My god, that series goes so hard and it only gets better as it goes along. Seriously, Folgore and Kanchome's last scene together was the greatest thing ever, I can't believe it's manga only. Folgore for most invincible "normal human" in anime/manga. He truly deserves the title of Iron Man

About that only 75 out of 150 Episodes got a ENGLISH 4kidstv/Toonami did the other 75 did not and ONLY 100 Zatch Bell episodes IN English are still the only ones for a Online Dub.

veghesther3204 Again for the last time 4kids Entertainment never did the English dub of zatch bell look it up

If they want to "win millennials back", they need to remove some of the garbage from Adult Swim and bring back more classics. Outside of new episodes, there's only so many times you can rewatch Rick & Morty, or American Dad. I find it hard to believe CN doesn't have access to a library of classic shows that don't require any purchasing of licenses to air. Plus, CN isn't usually part of a basic streaming package, requiring to pay more just to access it. If they expect millennials to come back, they really need to air content that's worth paying to watch.

[@justcoldk]

I agree Adult Swim has some classics like Home Movies that it would be nice to have in rotation. Didn’t know about CN being out of the basic package for some providers

[@tech-bore8839]

@@justcoldk Yep. Anytime I've looked into getting CN, it's never been in the cheapest/basic tier, whether it's streaming services or actual cable packages.

[@RememberWhenPodcast]

Absolutely underrated show but Kiba deserves to make a return 🔥

[@Tankymon02]

YEAAAAAAA JUSTCOLD MADE A COMEBACK

[@justcoldk]

😂 we back!

[@NemesisKing96]

I would love to watch bleach again that was a good show back in the day along with Zatch Bell. Thank you Adult Swim I love being a millennial

Db kai is for manga fans who already have the manga at home... DBZ fans want a mix of the og ocean & funimation dubs just like in the late 90s early 2000s when we were kids & teenagers those dubs had better voice acting & dialog... Well ocean dub not so much but it had a really good vegeta voice actor who had some iconic moments.. Replacing the dbz we grew up with db kai on the rewind would be an insult to true og dbz fans & pointless since db kai has already had much more recent releases on other networks.. It's been too long for dbz fans tho so don't even bother if you're just air db kai for the millionth time.

[@TwilightTearsStudio]

Honestly bro, I need help getting my parents and friends to watch shows I’m interested in. I consider some shows as more public interest than full on prepper . Toonami rewind isn’t going to work without the OG target demographic (kids who were 8 -> 16 @ launch).

[@justcoldk]

Yeah that’s a good call out I know a lot of people who jump straight into the niche hardcore shows. Gateway shows are needed for sure

[@NewGabeOrder]

For Toonami Rewind? it's a tie between Mob Psycho 100 and Cybersix. If Toonami can't afford to air the remaining 25 episodes of Mob Psycho 100, hopefully they can air Cybersix since Disney XD is not doing anything with the Fox Kids library lately. I mean, Toonami was able to get TMS anime before thanks to the Lupin dubs, Dr.STONE and Megalo Box; why not air Cybersix completely uncut?

[@justcoldk]

Wow had to look up a video on Cybersix. I was more of a Fox Kid kid and never heard of it. Seems like they were trying to compete with Kids WBs more mature shows. Thanks for this!

[@JessicaChastainFan]

Sailor Moon worksz and has aged like fine wine. DBZ has aged poorly, and Naruto is like John Cena's WWE run...still shitty.

[@thedoglovinggamer5825]

3:07 What is that first one?

[@justcoldk]

I was referring to Toonami Rewind being the same as Checkered Past. Between 5 - 7 PM with basic shows.

[@thedoglovinggamer5825]

@@justcoldk No, I’m talking about the anime that was shown.

[@Hylianguy38]

Sailor Moon

[@kougamecs3876]

Bring back Death Note Cartoon Network 😑

[@emopalsy]

Honestly Dragon Ball Z Kai uncut is better than Dragon Ball Z. The script in the dialogue are way better in my opinion.
