  • Because Nickelodeon and Disney wasn't that popular like Cartoon network.

  • I thought of something. We are all complaining about how Cartoon Network got bad, but have you also noticed Disney and Nickelodeon?

    Disney lost its magical effect.

    Nickelodeon lost its...uhhh..."Nick, Nick Nick, Ni-nick nick nick, Nickelodeon!" stuff.

    A conspiracy perhaps?

  • My two all time Fave cartoons

  • ah yes, the midnight run. although for me it was 1am cause of my time zone. i never got a chance to watch regular toonami cause i work in the evening, but i'd always catch the midnight run when i got home. couldn't wait to watch gundam wing!

  • fortunately that was like 9 o'clock for me

  • Man I wish I was a teenager when this show was out....I was like 6 and stayed up for DBZ at Midnight whenever it was on...followed by going to school the next morning...I wish I was 16 when this came out. Television was by far more entertaining than it is now in 2011. I can't stand the music of this generation nor can I stand the TV. I think the 90's went by to fast.

  • I miss the midnight run that ran ALL night

  • i like how when he said "the greatest action cartoon ever made" you hear someone go "Unbeliveable!" Lol yeah it is that great ^^

  • @KapuistheAlphafemale

    It's a clip of Vegeta saying "Unbelievable!". ^_^ Totally awesome.

  • Fuck I feel old

  • @BDWD Me too and I'm 19

  • we need optimus prime as the voice over for cartoonnetwork again

  • Dude, back then with no dish, you just glued yourself to the TV waiting for this so you'd now when to turn the TV back on...

    Good memories...

    Also, screw homework! I'm watching Toonami!

  • @uzimakishadow Yes but Toonami at least did it justice *understanding smirk*

  • Uncut Gundam Wing on Midnight Run more or less gave rise to Adult Swim. As for DBZ well the promo understates it. Try the greatest TV show ever!

  • man .... getting old sucks sooooo hard!!!!!

  • @cp9k3 I hate it so much!!! >_<

  • If Cartoon Network "dared" to try to show something "uncut" now in the day time, all of those soccer moms raising today's youth will all have heart-attacks.

    Someone over at the headquarters of Cartoon Network down in Atlanta needs to "grow a set" and tell all those bitchy-soccer moms to "fuck-off" and let me air "real quality" TV that's worth broadcasting ..

  • i never understood why they show Gundam Wing uncut? y not in the day time?

  • @mew10521 because of little kids so they showed the uncencered version at midnight for the adults who where watching

  • Thumbs up if you turned the TV down to watch Midnight Run and not wake your parents up.

  • This was the reason I started to stay up late during school days lol 12 years sleeping mad late

  • YUP THAT'S RIGHT " THANKS TOONAMI " MAN WISH IT WAS THE SAME ACTION .. . NOW WE GOT CARTOON S THAT MAKE ME SICK .. WE NEED GUNDAM AND DBZ TO DESTROY SPONGE BOB AND LET THEM KNOW WAS UP WITH THE 1990 - 2003 CARTOON S ..

  • @07macys i completly agree with you gosh i miss it

  • Adult Swim was good to start out, but now they strayed away from anime and are now going for the live action shows. The reason they were made was to show uncut adult anime.

  • @ToyotaMKIII agreed. when adult swim started out with cowboy bebop/trigun/home movies and mission hill was when it was at its best. the shows like children's hospital and the law and order svu- mimic show are just plain awful. and the new episodes of aqua teen are just plain awful. kinda funny though how toonami started the whole adult swim phenom

  • he told us to thank them later well here's my thanks

  • AS was a good take over for toonami's midnight run but only when they showed actually good shows like scryed, and cowboy bebop now adult swim sucks ass.

  • Man I miss The Midnight Run - Adult Swim sucks so much ass now it's depressing.

  • @f1lthyb4con I agree when we had tonnami we could stay up all night and watch dbz db gundam all that good stuff but now we have adult swim it sucks like heck who in their right mind would watch that pice of crap

  • @f1lthyb4con

    a-fuckin'-man

    

  • oh man Cartoonnetwork sucks now, adult swim is on at 9 pm, and i never got a stay up to see toonami at twelve

  • I hated home movies only because it gave me headaches. I don't know why though.

  • As it stands, Adult Swim is only good for Tim and Eric's over-glorified Youtube Poop, and shoveling crap like Children's Hospital and Squidbillies into our face. They started out very strong, with stuff like Home Movies and Cowboy Bebop, but it's regressed into trash. I'd be a little sad to see it go, Robot Chicken got it's start there.

    I want my Gundam back. I want my Robotech/Macross back. Bring back Megas XLR. Oh wait, we'd have all that if it weren't for all their Real Life crap.

  • @RecklessFire29 Adult swim is decent these days. The only watchable shows are ATHF, Robot Chicken, the Boondocks & Superjail. The anime on Saturday night is kinda cool too, though the only ones I really watch are GITS & Cowboy Bebop. They show their really good shows rarely and at like 4 in the morning. Adult Swim was a good replacement for the midnight run when it first came, now it's kinda corny.

  • If Cartoon Network was smart they would bring back Toonmai along with Midnight Run, and Rising Sun. They would also get rid of Adultswim (I never liked it) and start showing real cartoons..not the crap they show right now!

    Kids nowdays don't know good tv when they see it!

  • u know a show is sick when optimus prime endorse it,lol ah memories

  • such joy of seeing this again!

    such sorrow of realizing the truth...

    my friends, as much as this nostalgia eats us and calls us to arms, i must say...

    we aren't those big corporate vampires that don't watch cartoons, so its hard to say what exactly we can do about it...

  • i rember when i saw dix

  • Dear Cartoon Network programmers. Eat shit and die. Thank you.

  • Precursor to adultswim

  • i think if toonami comes back they should give midnight run i mean they too much doubles on cartoon network anyway so it be a good idea to bring it back they give the cartoons more then once im sure they can sqeez toonami in

  • if anyone feels like watching the entire DBZ collection

    watch-dragonball . com

    Just thought I'd share for anyone in the mood for reliving a childhood memory.

    All the DB, DBZ, and DBZ-GT episodes. I would watch each episode a hundred times and still never get tired.. thats just me..

  • If I could sum up my childhood into one word, it would be **Toonami**

    From DBZ to Zoids, From Tenchi to Outlaw Star, from Gundam to even Ham*fuckin*taro.

    I have the urge to watch good anime. But CN seems to only care about what works for them. They R so out of touch with fans. they even tried rebooting Pokemon, calling it pkmn black&white. starting an entirely new pokemon saga which sucks(i tried watching, its bullsh*t).

    What I'd Bring Back:

    Dragonball franchise

    Gundam

    Outlaw Star

    Zoids

  • "The greatest action cartoon ever made" No truer words have ever been spoken.

  • this was the shit before adult swim 

  • "Thank us later"

    I guess now's a good time to thank you guys... Thanks for the great memories and those nights, waiting and anticipating for the anime to air and then delivering with awe and much more than we could've hoped for. Every. Time.

  • I miss my childhood soooo much. I would give anything to just have one night sittin in front of the TV watching some good'ol shows on Toonami. Soooo nostalgic

  • What the new generation is missing....:-(

  • a midnight run uncut? how did you people watch without your parents forcing you to go to bed?

  • @MasterNcognito lol wait till mom went to sleep

  • @MasterNcognito well my bedroonm at the time was a little ways from my parents room, plus I was a very quiet kid hardly made a peep...and I was pretty slick too..had the tv down low..but I still could hear it.

    God I miss those days!

  • "Unbelievable!" nuff said.

  • I loved it back then when the guy would say"DragonBallZ, the greatest action cartoon ever made!" Just make me smile.

  • man i remember watching gundam wing uncut, i loved it.

  • Midnight Run..............Thumbs up if you wish CN would revert back into the Golden Age of 1990-02.

  • @SteelPitt6Burgh im curious to know what anime you think surpasses it.

  • Gundam Wing uncut.

    I'll always believe that was more or less a test run to see if more "mature" animated shows would be good on CN.

    If they didn't do that, then we wouldn't have new episodes of Family Guy now.

  • FUCK YEAH

    Dragon Ball Z was the best action anime out there.....

    before kai went and fucked it in the ass with a roll of quarters

  • I remember this. At first, I was like "WTF is this?" (I was ten)

    Ten minutes later:

    "I don't need sleep! This is cooler then blues clues!" Introduced me to DragonBall Z and The Big O.

  • Holy Shit I just remebered this i barely remember watching these shows way back when and im only 13

  • Damn I miss this shit...

  • cartoonnetwork shows blood now

  • before adult swim?

  • can someone please tell me who the voice belongs to?

  • @unideer dont know who he is but i can tell u

    he was the best anoucer cartoon network ever had

    now the anoucers sound like 17 year old virgins

  • @Thenuttyboy24 The narrator is Peter Cullen. He's probablky best known for Optimus Prime through the original series and the movies.

  • @DanTheManCalter Peter Cullen? HE was the narrator for this? That just makes everything better...

  • these were the best times for watching anime they were the best, i wonder what happened to toonami i really missed it 

  • I almost hate to admit but these were my two favorite toonami shows, I always remember sneaking into the living room and watching the midnight run.

  • Dude, this damn commercial brings back so many memories

  • this was the only show that had only anime only anime and know it's gone there should be anime channel every day

  • Toonmai was the coolest Cartoon Network block ever now no thanks to those retards at cartoon network it is gone and their show are dumb PERIOD

  • Optimus Prime: AUTOBOTS!......get ready for a double whammy!

  • i wonder if i ever watched midnight run cuz i remember blood from dbz not like dbz kai -_-

  • midnight to 1 am? hmm i remember it being longer like at least 3 hours during the midnight run

  • i just luv how hes all gundam uncut, ya you heard me and then you see some dude screaming in his pitlot seat. LOL

  • Bring it back! I remember staying up and watching those.

    This when CN was Great!

    me: you would know toonami, you would know.

  • Damn I miss toonami. Someone needs to

    Call murder Inc., Goon squad, or who ever

    To drop a dime on this snyder bitch

  • I miss Toonami! screw the new Cartoonnetwork lol

  • Does anyone know the toonami/adult swim video/promo where a robotic-like voice says: "take the kids to bed...it's time to get down."

    I'm dying to watch this and I've look all over the place -_-

  • 10.Gundam wing 9.Reboot 8.Zoids 7.dot Hack Sign 6.Thunder Cats 5.Tenchi muyo 4.Rouroni Kenshin 3.YuYu hakusho 2.Trigun 1.Outlaw Star Dbz was simply the best show ever written and i feel putting it on a list of only anime shows would be insulting.death to the screenwritters of Dragon Ball Evo.S Cry Ed was cool too!
  • @TheSkioski thanks for the .hack//Sign, Zoids, Reboot shout out. i thought i was one of the few who remember those good shows

  • @Kingdom007Hearts Well sadly you are bro,but I always take pride in the 1 good thing we had back then,gorillaz clint eastwood was are commercials for toonami after watching dbz,and now sadly it's all ben10 and flapjacks.Some people had the 60s and lennon some ppl had the 70's,80's, but man we had fuckin toonami the greatest and last best thing there was.Also I found a website dedicated to toonami called toonami aftermath,it's even got the old commercials.RIP toonami,love peace and chicken grease

  • people are giving a names to their favorit show, I never see blue gender or outlaw star on the list

  • Midnight Run was the best on Saturdays when they played Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Gundam 0080, and Gundam 0083. What a fuckin lineup. I have access to every anime through downloading, but I long for the days where Toonami was around. I still love anime, but back then, the excitement was something I can't describe. Yu Yu Hakusho is the best Toonami anime ever, and best anime of all time!

  • @EddieRanger1989 I say DBZ can make a case against Yu Yu Hakusho but it is still my personal favorite :)

  • @KditaOtaku15 I beg to differ the 80's Ninja Turtle were freaken awsome lol Some other cartoons, shows and anime's from the 80's were great too

    Turtle Power!!

    lol I know I'm a dork XD

  • Vegeta yelling, "Unbelievable!", has always stuck with me. Promos like this are what made Toonami great.

  • CALLING ALL TOONAMI FAITHFULS I'm starting a revolutionary/revolt group we all want toonami back how about we take it back alone its futile but together and united its possible so please join me.contact me on my channel

  • WHY THE FUCK DID THE 90'S HAVE TO END!?!?!

  • @minigun20 something about they only last 10 years....

  • i remember when midnight run aired char's counterattack :(

  • my favorite promo all-time

  • DAMN THIS GUY HIS VOICE SO BAD ASSS!!!! I SWEAR

  • i wish the y never heade adult swim,i used to stay up all night just to watch this

  • if your still an toonami faithful thumbs up

  • @cloud66 yeah man the good old days when toonami was the bomb and cartoon network wasn't rubbish

  • @cloud66 it would kinda suck to stay faithful to something thats not even on anymore : / its like loving a german woman

  • @turb00 Id still pound on that pussy ;)

  • ONLY TOONAMI!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Prime: "Thank us later". BAD ASSSSSSSSSS!!!

  • on toms last broadcast (see the video XD!) He says until then later. so that means toonami WILL return eventually. maybe today or tommorow maybe 2043 but he will come back but im brittish and 12 so i never really saw toonami but you USA guys will be the first to know lol

  • I used to sneak in the living room and watch ti while Mom was asleep.  Mmm... good times.

  • @CocoCece08- Dude so did I Sadly back then my bed time was 8pm So I had to train myself to wait up at midnight and sneak in the den and watch it :D

  • @RJAfterlife89 I'm guilty of that was well me and my brother doing it so we could watch our animes that only came on after midnight.

  • Peter Cullen, awesome. The idea of Optimus Prime advertising DBZ just makes me very happy inside.

  • @Tick54 it was moltar from space ghost not optimus prime

  • I don't want to comment on too many of these vids, but there will probably never be a fuckin' midnight run again!! kids are too soft, they don't stay up this late anymore, what for? Bleach? Naruto? Fuck that. This really does inspire me, this was our myspace, our facebook. we knew everyone was doing the same thing at midnight, watching toonami!! haha.

  • @Dramacydal18 Thats Real Talk, I remember rushing home from school just to watch Toonami..And even being late for parties just to see it XD. I agree with the guy below..That was the REAL CARTOON NETWORK..NOW ALL THEY SHOW IS FUCKERY AT ITS PRIME.

  • OMG wtf y did cartoon net work have 2 cancel toonami!

    come on flap jack, adventure time? is cartoon net work goin abstract? with out toonami cartoon net work WILL CRASH AND BURN

  • Ughhhh, what the hell has happened to you, Cartoon Network?

  • Ah, the Midnight Run. Where I would sneak down to my basement and watch it. I miss those days...

  • Man i use to get in trouble at night because i use to sneak i the living room just to watch toonami midnight and then wake up in the morning going to school just to drop asleep on the desktop good day toonami 4ever

  • stop the bring it back 2 tv shit thell just ruin it we need to make a site where this plays the real toonami i want that natural high back please someone collect everything toonami and revive it same order and everything 4 the good of the world, ilove you toonami and thats the best lime in my life

  • midnight run.....good times damn i miss toonami 

  • THIS WAS CARTOON NETWORK NOW ALL THEY SHOW IS FUCKRY

  • Haha be funny if everyone in america called cartoon network to make other channel for toonami back XD

    But if they ever did it wouldn't be like the old days =/ they kinda maybe ruin it little if they do it now cause they just try to make it look better but when they always do they seem to miss things up alittle

    but i guess reason why they took it down cause they were runing out of money to keep it runing...

  • thank you toonami, thank you

  • oh yeah! i loved that line when peter cullen goes "uncut" and i looked at my cousin jeff around that time (96) like "did he just say"? peter's like: "yeah you heard me". "thank us later". only on toonami "kids love it"!

  • Holy deuce I remeber Gundam Wing from way back

  • *cry* in corner.  ,-_-,

  • toonami... can i get a fuck yeah?

    seriously though i grew up on this, nowadays i cry when i turn the channel to cartoon network

  • @RainstormInSpace Same here man, totally feel your pain

  • @RainstormInSpace Fuck Yeah!

  • i think i might actually cry. im that nostalgic.

  • i remember wen i was like 12 and i sneek out at night to watch gundam

  • @grobmiller Same here

  • Like so many others, my jaw dropped when I saw this promo. I tried to stay up every night so I could watch Midnight Run.

  • I just nostalgia'd my pants.

  • sleep is for the weak

  • i miss that show

  • Cartoon network is a piece of shit now. Whatever happened to all the great cartoons?

  • all i gotta say is.....

    mutha fuckin epyon

  • Oh my God! I loved Midnight Run!! I remember when I was a kid and they'd replace Cartoon Fridays for this, I was so psyched!

  • Midnight run was better than Adult swim could ever hope to be

  • Uncut Gundam was so lame.

    Afternoon - "Releena I'm going to get you"

    Midnight - "Releena I'm going to kill you"

  • @Futureperfectxx lolololololol. I find that mildly funny.

  • Yeah, you heard me

  • toonami was awesome...I miss it so. I have such fond memories of it, of stayin up late, doin something, and having the Tom there on the screen sayin that the Midnight Run was going to guide me through the night....

    can't believe how sentimental I am, about a cartoon block!

  • @zerombr im a tad bit worried when you say " doing something "

  • @zerombr I know! it sneaks up on you, I remember sitting on the couch at 12 - 1ish pm, turned off the lights, turned on Toonami, and just like relaxed, zoned out with Tom, to a place where I controlled a gundam, and could become a super saiyan ^ ^

    You forget all these stuff as you grow older, but you watch these promos and t all sneaks up on ya T_T

  • @zerombr Don't worry zerombr, there are many others of us who, well, feel the same way.

  • uncut yeah you heard me toonami was so badass i wish i could go back

  • ahhhh man i wish i was a kid again

  • i feel bad for the kids of this generation.. they missed the good shit ! 90's Baby 4 Life !!!!!

  • Hells yeah!!!

  • @AMVRebirth HELL YEAH THERE NOT GOING SEE NUTHING LIKE THIS LOL

  • @AMVRebirth I barely made it to watch it. I still remember watching it. I almost completely forgot about it.

  • BRING THIS BACK!!! I'd be willing to sacrifice an hour of AS for this!

  • Midnight run for 4

  • i was young when they did the midnight run and my mom let me and my twin sister watch it every night

  • i;ve always wondered about the announcer's voice but found out its optimus prime....

  • if only i was my age now i could see all this

  • Optimus Prime: "Gundam Wing UNCUT"-

    "Yeah you heard me"

    (my head explodes from pure awesomeness)

  • @enomarekim hell yae

  • Totally jizzed my pants.

  • @cypherXR me too ;_;
