Memories from a time priceless in history and in all of our lives. Nothing can ever match watching Toonami at 2am on a Friday / Saturday / Sunday night. Love to you all.

That “kids love it” alone unlocks countless weekend memories

[@shinji1264]

Wasn't around for the DBZ era, but damn shit musta been legendary... To wake up in the middle of the night and watch that musta felt cozy af

[@MrWii000]

I never realized that the Midnight Run aired un-edited anime back then.

[@JASON81668]

Single greatest piece of television ever

[@alligatorsam5357]

Those were the days man....legendary...

[@chrismedina54]

Oh,how I miss those days. I remember staying up all night as a kid watching this. Those care-free days.

[@GhostCell47]

I was 7 when I first watched Toonami.

[@awwgez]

Just another epic memory from the 90's. DBZ was my Game of Thrones as a kid hahaha.

[@DamplyDoo]

I stayed up all night watching this. The first time, as a teenager, i even stayed up 24 hours. I felt good, then tired, then eventually a little sick. I watched toonami, and switched between that and Iron Chef on Food Network. I heard the early morning newspaper car deliver our paper. Eventually my parents came downstairs to greet the new day. i felt accomplished, having stayed up all night, but also a bit disappointed-- it wasn't as amazing as i thought it'd be. 20 years later, i have never stayed up 24 hours again

This was the shit. In my early adolescent years. Being able to muster up the will to actually stay up and watch DBZ and Gundam late at night. Especially on a school night. I use to set an alarm clock on a little old TimeX wrist watch and stay up from 1200-0100. Then immediately go to bed. Good times.

This brings great memories of how Saturdays gets better! #Toonami

[@TherealPapaDogP]

1999 was an awesome year for me.

[@5500somerandomdude]

I swear, between the midnight run, regular toonami, and later adult swim, that I became a night owl.

[@parisbeech2180]

Same with me i use to sneak up to watch an hour of midnight run sometimes I get caught 😆😂

[@cybermonkey9334]

Kids love it

[@anasfarahi4401]

I wonder how many people actually stayed awake until Roulette...

[@ouroboratika]

lol, the 1 frame flash of Mike from Mike, Lu, and Og at 16:12 is one of the few reminders of that shows existence. For whatever reason, I still remember her going "This baby'll light up the dark side of the moon" when showing off some bright spotlight or something of hers.

[@JefferriAndrews]

I was five years old when I first watched Toonami, good times

[@mikekell920]

2:25 wow Dreamcast was doing late night promotions because they released the system too late and weren’t making enough money

[@borntoclimb7116]

Awesome, its 24 years old and stil looks cool

[@JohnDoe-kj6wp]

Damn I was only 14 when this was happening. I remember not watching cartoons for a few years before this cause good guys always win scenarios made me bored. Until I clicked on dragon ball z and watched the episode were tien died. I was so shocked I thought the guy running on the long snake was going to show up on time to save him. After that I was hooked on anime.

[@edtifa]

Well even the Sailor Scouts deaths in Sailor Moon Season 1 were pretty brutal even in the heavily Edited version. Or the deaths in the original Dragonball series.

[@TheJE32]

So that's every bumpers there is in 1999 when Toonami did the Saturday Midnight Run... very impressive 😊

[@joelluis4988]

That's how Saturdays work on that day

[@TheJE32]

The best times of the '99 party

[@joelluis4988]

That's for sure

[@lauristonbrewster9097]

I'm here because RBG died and nostalgia's my only escape hatch. I can't deal right now.

[@no1guy825]

Dude, Brian Drummond's voice was perfect for these promos....literally every clip of him sells the segment

[@nolanpayne]

is Peter Cullen not Brian Drummond stop calling Peter Cullen Brian Drummond ok?

[@user-og8qs2dj4i]

@@nolanpayne think they're referring to the clips of Vegeta that were from the Ocean dub of DBZ.

[@nolanpayne]

Am I the only one who thinks TOM 1 was freaking adorable? He looks pudgy IwI
