Toonami - Various 1999/2000 Bumps/Intros

[@thesonnystrait]

Thanks for posting this. When I was cast as TOM it was when I first realized I had stumbled onto a career.

[@Junior_VT]

Thanks for providing the voice to many childhoods including mine!

[@thesonnystrait]

my pleasure

[@thesonnystrait]

Thanks very much. But Steve's done a magnificent job with TOM

[@thesonnystrait]

Ok. I'll just say thank you very much and leave it at that :)

[@OneBirdAllStoned]

wait, your telling me krillin and tom were voiced by the same guy? O_o

[@zmbklr101]

Ah. Little four year old me watched the hell out of classic Toonami. The nostalgia's so powerful it physically hurts.

[@L33TRedNinja]

No truer words have been spoken, dude. 😌

[@andrearosario8512]

I gotta say 'bumps' guy for Toonami was ahead of his time. Using anime shorts coupled with precise kinetic animations and musical synchronicity was quite timeless.

[@SeFu2006]

Toonami’s intros sometimes were more epic than the actual anime being aired.

[@mystichammer6517]

They need to have a channel dedicated solely to replay these EXACT runs. Nothing changes. They should even play commercials from the late-90s and early-00s.

[@spirit_shadow9590]

They still do, it's called toonami aftermath, look it up.

[@OwlDago.]

I would pay $

[@mystichammer6517]

@@spirit_shadow9590 holy shit! Don't know how I missed that. Thanks a ton!

[@coolslc]

You remember when we used to say “I cant wait to grow up”, I really regret saying that now...

[@nolajets6382]

Maaaaan spot on 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@MrXxxheroicxxx]

toonami+ps2+skateboarding everyday+dbz obsession =my childhood

[@civicgamessports6937]

Don't forget to mix in MTV before it went to shit. This is right around the time jackass was taking off..... Good times

[@yungsambaflexer]

i'm happy i got to live and grow up in this era, this is a beautiful thing to look back on. I remember how peaceful things were back then. Times have changed :/

[@kn00tcn]

didnt seem so peaceful with all those monsters/demons/giant robots/super saiyans/bounty hunters smashing everything on the planet

[@totianah.1018]

No Responsibilities!!!!😎😂😂

[@civicgamessports6937]

I can't stress enough to some people how different the world was before 9/11....

[@nonamelegend_vapor]

Toonami was my everything back then. The drum and bass soundtrack wil never not slap

[@daved1113]

The nostalgia hits you like a train

[@ericfischer8295]

22 years ago Toonami started… The internet was new and it was the golden age of Flash and Anime, the web was full of silliness and innocence and all of us were younger and perhaps less jaded… Let us look back to that Golden age and reflect on what once was.

[@blaise4721]

(Crying) I miss the old days

[@AlanFernandoGamino]

Blaise Suck It Up Son! & Be A Man?

[@nolanpayne]

*breathes* Toonami Forever…

[@DJWaffleston]

Ahh, classic late 90s/early 2000s CGI graphics.

[@AlphaCollectorCZ]

Best times of my life... watchin toonami..

[@AlexChambersXYZ]

Oh my god, this is why I like Drum and Bass

[@chanman5001]

For real haha i listen to it all the time and it always reminds me of early 2000's toonami and ps1 and ps2 games!

[@nolanpayne]

Drop. That. Beat.

[@HYPNOGLANCE87]

This was THE best anime late night cartoon show ever.Seriously the longer it ran the better it got.I miss this awhole lot anyone remember Tenchi Muyo? that was a crazy show lol.

[@kuraudo9700]

Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama! 🔥💯

[@alvinpaige9132]

I get sad everytime i see this, ive been here since the beginning and it just shows how fast time flys

[@thesonnystrait]

Think how I feel. I was 33 when I played TOM

[@smh02]

damn lmao

[@Adrians_Ideas]

this is so much cooler than what we have now.

[@Anthony-dj4nd]

Seems like a fever dream now looking back. Amazing! 😮

[@jacobrobinson787]

Toonami was how I even learned about Sailor Moon. Granted the dub aged like milk but man does it still hit me in the feels. Hell, it was how I learned about anime in general with Sailor Moon, DBZ, Zoids and of course, Gundam. And I still remember when Transformers Armada premiered.

[@samuraitelia]

yes, i remember everytime i got out of school cartoon network: Toonami 4-7

[@SunStar-lc6sj]

For me adding DBZ to the lineup made this block better than before. Feel it peaked when it went to three hours and just didn’t feel quite the same when they got rid of most the shows I liked watching. Even when the added the third hour back there were only three shows on the lineup.

[@parkerstange851]

these hit different then regular adult swim bumps

[@marcusallen9864]

I would love a documentary about how all this came together. This was a part so many ppls childhood.

[@jonathangriffin4277]

6:03 almost 25 years later, I'm now almost 40 years old and this shit still hits. . . .fuck yea Toonami, fuck yea Tom!

[@tylercarta433]

At 5:51 T.O.M begins to say something very true he got so right on.

[@jonathangriffin4277]

Toonami needs to be its own channel!

[@BreezyGamer92]

This is awesome to see again. It's like watching a chunk of my childhood over again.

[@CombatKingKogaVtuber]

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest

[@mystichammer6517]

This was SO hype back in the day. Still gets you hyped.

[@likeclockwork6473]

These were the best years of toonami

[@moviechic07]

Meh this makes me nostalgic. I was 10/11 yrs old at the time. Toonami was my favorite thing on tv.

[@ss6truks]

Hope you're enjoying your 30s! I'm just about there myself lol I was like 7-8 it's crazy to think 20 years went like that in a flash

[@benitomartinez2106]

this blows my mind thank you for sharing this with everyone who grew up watching and loving toonami

[@gamerex9378]

Nostalgia so strong the goosebumps hurt.

[@jrthehedgehogpizzaking7625]

Omg the nostalgia..... :,)

[@Sykroid]

Decades later, and this still hits me like it used to, making me excited for the wonders of anime. There was just something so different about that world of animation, and Toonami hyped it up perfectly....

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

Drum n bass, named after a tsunami..... I'm genuinely surprised the name hasn't been changed or come under fire yet. I'm sure it'll come. It took em a few decades to get aunt jemima so we'll see

[@1988thefreeman]

Wish we could turn back time to the good old days ~

[@shinzantetsu]

if you guys like the music,theres a toonami music album..i think its called deep space,i recommend it.

[@nolanpayne]

I think there’s a Toonami rhythm game that came with this album. It’s where you play as TOM 2 and you run through obstacles to the beat of the music. It’s a bit like Vib Ribbon, but with Toonami.

[@KiddGreen1]

Love these classic Toonami bumps!! Takes me back into the good ol' days

[@alligatorsam5357]

This is more precious to me than than I can express..

[@parisbeech2180]

Long live toonami you will always be in my heart

[@SSJ491]

That was the great time that my brother and I watched Toonami back then when the program was in it's prime. Reboot, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho. Oh man so many great action cartoons and anime that we watched when we was were kids. The best period ever that Toonami had it's A game on when the program used to be on weekdays.

[@terryb830tb]

Man I loved toonami I was young a.f too

[@SweetLindsey123]

I like the new intros but I hope in the future the intros will be more like this again 0:30 or 9:34 or different. Nice vid, it brings back memories and the new toonami's also making new memories for us. It keeps getting better and better :)

[@2723Xonk]

Great time in life and history! I’ll always remember coming home from school after trading Pokemon cards and having to choose between watching Pokemon and DBZ. I’ll never forget all the great anime that I was introduced to. Reboot was great too!

[@Gredran]

Look at how much its grown from this in 1999 to the peak with TOM 3... It gives me hope that it can grow to at least, a good portion of its former glory :)

[@TrueTrife]

Man I freaking LOVED Reboot, that was my show! But at 5 you dared not miss DBZ! And Tom, the instrumental remixes, and atmosphere of Toonami fit so perfectly, you knew this wasn't the normal cartoon block hour.

[@ssjmeetri]

I remember those drawings, I sent in one myself

[@shinzantetsu]

back in high school i would go back home and get ready for toonami

[@AlanFernandoGamino]

6:03 Best Intro Ever Since (1999) 15 Years Later. #Toonami #TBT #ThrowbackThursday

[@growingup15]

This was when Cartoon Network was at it's absolute peak when it came to content. I am blessed to have grown up during this era and experience it when it was happening.

[@jarryj1995]

YOOO I Remember this Man!! DA FEELS ARE REALLL T^T

[@zangetsudx1]

I wanna go back to those years so bad. Someone please make a time machine

[@ssjmeetri]

Back when toonami came on every week days

[@somepersonintheworld1707]

i remember watching toonami when i was like 5,I still like what they have today but it just isn't the same

[@clivehandforth3531]

wow i cant believe i forgot how cool these were

[@dencamp6685]

R.I.P. Tom 1.0

[@nolanpayne]

The Toonami creators were going to have multiple designs for TOM, he was going to be part of a band consisting of a rabbit drummer, a monkey bassist, a chicken guitarist, and an AI keyboardist who would later become the second version of Sara. Along with this, he was going to wear a Playboy bunny costume, and then have a human girlfriend named Hecate.

[@ianpender5969]

Nostalgasm! They don't make stuff like they used too.

[@ResponsibleToTheRealm]

2:35 You know these TV spots are old when they say "New School" and it's followed by a clip of early Ocean Dub DBZ.

[@bizzaro1368]

Wow, 25 years ago for me. I was 9/10 back then. I LOVED Toonami and Tom sometimes even more than the animes. Almost brought tears to my eyes seeing this shit again! 😂😅

[@ImmortalKyle]

This shit is so badass, big thanks to Toonami and Adult Swim!

[@brianblankenship1575]

Thanks for making me actually cry 😭

[@realtetria]

Ah brings me back memories

[@ssjmeetri]

[@yungjc2]

[@whywhyman]

[@ShyBoy6ty9]

Toonami > girlfriends anyway

[@DJDizzyStorms]

This was the stuff growing up

[@Toonami181]

I started looking at Toonami in 1999. I'm 21 now.

[@niggasgang8784]

[@josephbenedetto8989]

Thank you for this the feeling is indescribable feel like I'm back at my grandmas apt after school watching t.v getting goosebumps watching goku turn super syaian or some good Gundam battles to samurai jack.. good times

[@Sorodz2]

Wow this was part of my childhood

[@TreIsrael]

I literally teared up watching this 😢😢😢

[@tombystander]

Thank u for making me feel like I'm 10 again. Idc if it's for tiny fragments of time. They r magical

[@WesleyWhiteside]

Wow! So many promos from the golden era of Toonami! I haven't seen most of these finds since they aired and some I've never seen at all. Toonami was the only place i remember encouraging kids to stay up past their bedtime, haha. I only wish this wasn't stretched. You can fix this using most editing software.

[@Lil-lr6uj]

Throwwbacccl!!! So hype

[@nolanpayne]

Man, TOM 1 was a pop star back then. He’s so cute :3

[@silverkingrr1414]

I miss this so much

[@TuckDezi]

Was def there for this.... miss that Kenshin hype back then... 100% responsible for my love of anime... lived for this after school... had to move on to subs though, sooo much better!

[@jet4212006]

Rini completely misses, "GOTCHA!!!"

[@gernonjones8871]

Ah, good old sailor moon, my fave show on toonami

[@KakarotLee33]

[@SHAMSHAM1090]

[@matthewgraton2401]

I wish had these commercials when I rewatch my old anime like it was a vhs recorded off the TV but remastered

[@jasonfrost5025]

[@links5957]

Um In that time, when changed Moltar to Tom Love the Changes adding NEW SHOWS 1999 - 2000. Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo, The Gumdam Shows, Reboot, Batman Superman Animated Series, Midnight RUN. Tom being the new Host. Greatest times Ever! There's Nothing going to be like this Ever Again.

[@OneEyedWonderWeasel115]

Well ill be damned it really is Tom and sonny in one.. greetings from México whodve know toonami would introduce the west to all the anime!

[@justincarter2500]

"Phase one complete."😁😁😁

[@gsutton219]

Dude I could cry watching this shit

[@CreativeSageJO]

FUCK iM OLD........

[@yungjc2]

Redfieldchaos us too

[@nolanpayne]

Loading Data Files… WARNING CANNOT RUN SERVER Am I the only one who thinks TOM’s voice sounded like he was computer generated and the music at 3:58 sounds like Vocaloid?

[@BlueCadet3_]

Take me back

[@עמנואלהארדי]

Memories

[@DualStupidity]

This is where like a third of Vaporwave's vibe comes from

[@jakster16]

toonami- prayer

[@tsusksatheanimator8220]

We all supported tom 1 he rocks

[@nolanpayne]

In Toonami Swarm, TOM’s origin story, TOM 1 has a girlfriend named Ruby. The relationship between them is kinda adorable.

[@nolanpayne]

Oh god, TOM 1 was so cute, he was a pop star :3

[@lunaractivities7598]

Wow a true blast from the past, I remember waiting for sailor moon to end so I could watch DBZ 😂 these were the days. My true prime…things are definitely different now. Especially dragon ball super i don’t pay attention to it, but I own all the original seasons of DBZ on blu ray. Now I appreciate all of them even sailor moon 🌙

[@CollinMichaelSings]

Sailor moon!!!!!

[@thomaskaaz1]

Midnight run commercials always bummed me out cuz I knew there was no way my parents would let me stay up that late.
