Toonami gave me so many things. Dragon Ball Z, Outlaw Star, Tenchi, Trigun, Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, and they got me addicted to anime to start with.

I feel really empty right now. I think i will go sleep now. . . . .

The most touching part was the

...bang

if you didn't get that reference, The VA for Tom also did Spike from Cowboy Bebop.

;_;

oh well, it's about time they stopped toonami. it was really awesome 5 years ago when I watched it. they played good stuff. the last few years have been beating a dead horse airing nothing but crap.

what happened?i didn't hear anything about them closing up till now

**myth0logy** · 09-20-2008, 11:08 PM

an announcement was made yesterday that a special announcement concerning Toonami would occur the next day [today] at the end of Toonami.

...and this was the announcement.

i cant believe it wont be coming back.... what will be replacing it and will they still air Naruto?

You know, as far as actually providing quality anime goes, toonami isn't really that much of a loss. I think the true value of toonami was introducing people to anime. I personally experienced this, watching kenshin and blue gender during middle school before abandoning cartoon network to go find better stuff on my own. I uess to me toonami was always "gateway anime."

Shugo64 · 09-21-2008, 01:23 PM

true, they did show a lot of great anime just like Adult Swim use too.... still i really liked Toonami...

**Darkest** · 09-21-2008, 01:35 PM

Toonami disappeared from UK screens a few years back. Since then CN in general turned towards kiddiness.......

VooDooLord · 09-21-2008, 07:19 PM

I have put some thought into this and I have come up with an idea. I am the way I am today because of Toonami. When Toonami was on in the afternoons I learned to do homework with the TV on so I wouldn't miss anything. When Toonami was doing the Midnight Run I stayed up late as a kid to watch Outlaw Star and Dragon Ball Z.

I owe them so much. How about you?

Shugo64 · 09-22-2008, 02:27 AM

i remember their Robot Week where they had Evangelion, Nadesco, and even Big O... it was a very good block that they had... im really going to miss Tom the most...

zkzeroxvirus · 09-22-2008, 10:26 AM

I watched toonami Most of my life..
led me too anime wich led me to pcs..
I cried when it was over...

ended like cowboy bebop
was pretty cool..

Renji · 09-22-2008, 01:40 PM

Well at least the Toonami stream will continue. I haven't been able to catch any of the Batman: Gotham Knight episodes yet. I plan to though. It most likely had to do with them continually rearranging the time of Toonami and the more dedicated Toonami viewers growing up/getting a job/etc.

Sypherion · 09-22-2008, 06:32 PM

It sucks that they are closing up shop, cause I used to watch stuff on Toonami all the time. But in recent years it kind of fell under my radar. Chalk it up to life, I guess.

fadedwolf · 09-22-2008, 07:46 PM

yea it sucks that they ve gone under i remember watching it when i came home from elementary school it was like the highlight of my day

Renji · 09-22-2008, 07:52 PM

I especially remember watching Zoids, DBZ, and some of the older popular anime on Toonami before they switched the time to later in the day and then to the weekend.
