Thing haven't been the same since it left. For many of the people who grew up viewing toonami it was like viewing to best anime the world had to offer back then. Then as things changed; japan began regressing, cancelling licenses, blocking dubbing of animes the list goes on & on. The only way thing got back here was through mail ordering, through translating corps doing their best & then later through the dread of piracy. Things changed & it really wasn't for the best. Now back in the day when toonami ran, it basely made anime cool. Talking about anime in public made you cool. Now when you talk about anime in public everyone looks at you like you're a weirdo. Nostalgia...the animes that got me into anime was Dragon Ball(z,gt,etc), zoids, & gundam(Wing,GT,etc), Digimon , Sailor Moon(Yes guys did watched this), Outlaw Star(You don't know about this). I say that out of all the anime i saw, Gundam Wing was really what got me into watching anime everyday. I can go without Dragon Ball for a few day, but not Gundam Wing.
Gundam Wing <3
