Last night Cartoon Network, presumably as an April Fools joke, played an old school block of Toonami programming complete with Tom coming back and doing a new bump. They showed some of the best episodes of Dragon Ball Z, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, The Big O, YuYu Hakusho, Trigun, and a few more. Being able to watch it brought me back to being a kid again and it felt awesome. I can safely say that FAKKU would not exist if Toonami hadn't been around when I grew up, it was mine and so many others introduction to anime.
Wish I knew that was on I freaking miss toonami really got me into anime as well.Toonamiaftermath.com is the closest we'll probably have to a comeback unfortunately
Well damn that took me back, weren't a lot of those shows on the old late night Adult Swim block though? That was what got me into Cowboy Bebop and The Big O.
Hard to forget that The Big O did so well on Adult Swim they ended up ordering a second season, how rad was that?! :D
Yes it was truly what got me into Anime i remember watching the Gundam 08th MS team on it and fighting with my mother to stay up and watch it so many nights. now I watch all my Anime on Netflix but I still remember where it all started for me. It would be great if they did bring it back but make it so much better and bad-ass tho. tho just like this comment "All Great Things Must Come To An End".
Why did they do away with Toonami? It was the best action block that cartoon network had. Now they just have crap from Canada on there. I imagine if the brought it back with the same show we had on back then there ratings would go through the roof!
