  • Where's Moltar?

  • @Pinkergloop

    Moltar was Toonami's OG, but Tom was the staple to the time block. To me, Tom IS Toonami. Plus, this video was originally made when Tom 4 was announced. Coincidentally Toonami was canceled later that year(who didn't see that coming?) and now this video is a tribute to both Tom and Toonami.

  • lol! tom 4 is a fag!

  • tom isn't guilty for that shit only his new name is fucked up

  • My Fellow anime and cartoon fans, CN has done the most heinous crime in cartoon history, as of in 2008 and today a great hero has fallen, Tom 1 2 and 3 were there when we cried out for great anime like DBZ, Gundam Wing, Kenshin, Sailor moon, name any of your faves but as for CN they must know there biggest mistake ever and know that without it they'd never came to how they were years ago, until then Stay gold Tom and my friends as for CN, FUCK EM ALL! They just started it's death clock

  • I kinda liked the new tom but when they ended it i was like.............. Mother Fucker Ima bout to get the Bloods AND the Crypts to work together to over throw CN

  • See you, Space Cowboy...

  • tom ftw rip toonami

  • dbz, man that was the best good times

  • all in agreement we go back to TOM2, his absolution and the first SARA? i mean think about it; summer 2002 was THEE BEST airing of toonami. i have more memories of that than wat i did in soc. studies last friday

  • OMFG!!! Yu-Yu Hakusho...omg i remember when i was young i watched this around when i was seven i still remember when they went 2 that giant castle and those grreen zombies attacked them :"( i rly rly do miss those days

  • lmao "claps"

  • nice video picture of tom made me laugh xD

  • T.V: $500

    Couch: $600

    Toonami: Priceless

  • T.V: $500

    Couch: $600

    Toonami: Priceless

  • loved every show on toonami well cept naruto, dragon ball Z, and yu yu hakashue sorry for the name mispell i dunno they were just extremely boring shows about really buff guys screaming and then hitting each other hated those shows with a passion but every other show i loved but gundam rorouni and outlaw have to top my list

  • I was so pissed when Tom popped up and said his message "Good bye"

  • look i understand but To Zanarkand does NOT match this vid AT ALL

  • @steelangelblack

    Close, but it's the Skies above. lol :P

    In retrospect, you are probably right but I made this video 2+ years ago and I don't feel like going back to change things.

  • Naruto is awesome

  • i do agree. Tom 1, 2, & 3 were better than 4. BUT...i would rather have Tom 4 hosting Toonami than no Toonami at all...which is what we have now :( we will miss u Tom! (btw, what was the song at the end?)

  • the music is from final fantasy x if anyone wants to know. "At Zanarkland" its on you tube for sure.

  • Close, the songs called "The Skies Above," the song uses the piano from "At Zanarkland" but it's a different song entirely. Check it out.

  • @NOTSparkyPants "TO Zanarkand

  • @abridgedman100X "To Zanarkand"

  • CN is slowly loosing veiwers and the reason is cause of toonami being gone. I also agree that when they made TOM more kid friendly and changed the 4 hour run to the 2 hour run you could tell that CN was canceling toonami very soon!

    P.S. We will miss u TOM and toonami!

  • i will never understand why they took some thing like toonami and made it "kid friendly" it never needed it in the first place. especially since it was something on late at the time. I grew up with toonami so I can't exactly remember it being on during weekdays when the days were still bright, but I do remember staying up till 11 watching anime that I could never get enough off! Then they started adding modern cartoons and it just wasn't right :/ still, I'm sad to have seen it gone.

  • Comment removed

  • I want you to do me a really big favor, I want you to read my video description. Thank you.

  • Well, my response wasn't really centered around my dislike for Naruto, more along the lines of the fact that Tom isn't really old school....

    You want to be old school, you remember Moltar as the host of Toonami. Not Tom.

  • Ten years old is pretty old school. Also Moltar only host 3 of the 12 year run(97-99). The rest of those years(the years the segmant took off) was during Toms hosting. I recognize Moltar as the original host but I think it would be best to remember him for Space Ghost and not Toonami. Besides, originally this video was me saying that the Move from TOM 3 to TOM 4 would be the death of Toonami and ironically it was. : (

  • regretfully, several shows such as outlaw star adn tenchi muyo iddint watch when i was 6 or 7 cuz i was too young to appreciate them fully. i regret that. they should bring toonami back and restart the lineup, starting from 99.

  • but then the fucking adult swim had to come along!!! im so FUCKING MAD I JUST WANT 2 CRY!!!

  • What about adult swim? Adult Swim came around the same time as Toonami. In fact a lot of shows that aired on Toonami started on Adult Swim.

  • yeah but all the adult swim shows sucks ass except the anime and famiy guy. theyre not even funny. but toonami is better.

  • CN in general is just going to shit. Shame too, it was all I watched for years.

  • what do you mean adult swim had to come?????????? they already been in CN since 7 years duh..

  • it really sucks that the childern theses days have to deal with sucky shows like chowder i whis i had a time manchine

  • *snif*Toonami came a few months after i was born and when i started watching it ,i watched reruns of G Gundam and DBZ and watched shows like Samurai Jack and Ruruni Kenshin

  • that old school cn logo at the bottom says it all.

  • RIP Toonami

  • best tribute ever T_T

  • what it even had Rurouni Kenshin i wanted to watch that

  • Of, course it had Rurouni Kenshin!

  • aww  dude i wanted to see that show

  • It was funny Naruto was the only good thing to watch on Toonami during its last hours.

  • lol I remember when the first TOM died. They made such a big deal about that. I FUCKING WANT TOONAMI BACK ASSHOLES!!!!

  • i would rather have tom 4 than no toonami. he was thier last defense! WHY CN WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! toonami FOR THE FUCKING WIN!

  • snif toonami started when i was born when i was a baby i watch with my dad then i watched then they terned tom gay making tom look like f...ing tomes the train f... cn people toonami should get its own channel toonamis that awsome R.I.P tom 1 ill never forget you till i die bring toonami and tom1 back CN NOW

  • I been watching Toonami since it first aired in 1997, but I personally like TOM 4.

  • Wahh... so true, so true. Tom was the best. I hated when they turned Midnight Run into Adult Swim full time. Augh.

  • haa final fantasy x opening

  • hahahaha i love the epic music for when tom 4 comes on the screen ahahaha funny an cool vid good work

  • naruto was good on toonami until they shortened toonami from like 4 hr to 2 hr and made naruto half of it

  • damn you, you're getting me all teary eyed T_T Seriously, I love Toonami, it wasn't just the shows that I loved, it was all of it, the atmosphere of toonami. Like the game reviews, Tom, the mini episodes of him, the previews for shows like Yu Yu Hakusho, everything :(

    It was funny when the orchestra music started playing at 1:38 though xD I can imagine you sitting in a darknened room, editing this together with an evil look on your face, silently damning CN for killing Toonami :P

  • @David999999 Yeah this was a lot like G4 tv, but for kids. It was epic! Damn the new CEO.

  • pokemon dp battle demension is the only anime left i wish toonami would make a channel and SCREW CN ITS CN"S FAULT THIS WHOLE THING HAPPENED WHO IS RUNNING CN NOW THIS ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE CN KEPT LOWERING TOONAMIS TIME PERIOD SO LOW THAT 1 DAY ALL TOONAMI HAD WAS 30 MIN TO AIR SO THEY JUST QUIT CAUSE OF FREAKING CN LOWERING THEIR TIME

  • its the child programing that killed it

    the limitations

    its the same thing they did with the prequaled disney channel movies

    they tired to make it more family friendly

    and..... im sorry im to upset to say anything else

  • wat the fuck iz  that anyway

  • You dont know what toonami is? It use to be the best source of anime and action cartoons in North America for the past 10 years. Within the last few years however, Cartoon Networks management got out of hand and the quality for both the network and toonami turned to shit so toonami was canceled and now cartoon network has gone to the dumps.

  • Fucking Cartoon Network, why the fuck would those bastards cancel Toonami. I mean, sure they messed up Tom, but if they would just bring back classic Toonami, with classic anime, then CN could be back on top. Now the only place to get good anime is on the net. DAMN YOU CN YOU FUCKED OVER MY CHILDHOOD

  • It is not supossed to be "kid friendly" WTF! it never was! It was originally marketed as the teen hour because all the middle school and high school students got off in time to see it. Cartoon network and nick went down hill I have to agree. the 90's had the best toons! We had ren and stimpy and now thats deemed as adult.

  • i swear if they dare cancel naruto or not even airing shippuden they OFFICIALLY SUCK!!!!!

  • im getting worried about naruto not coming on in 3 weeks now

  • don't wrry it's only the fillers but if u like the fillers then idk wat to tell you but naruto will survive...atleast i hope :/....but it wont be fair if they dont show shippuden cause look at total drama island and 6teen they say bad words and total drama show censored nude!!!!! so they suck if they dont show naruto or shippuden point proven!!

  • i do too because they havent showed it in quite a while and the last time i saw it they start the series to the 60 somethin episode

  • oh rly well then i guess there's the problem...u see...cnn changed the schedule so now naruto comes i think 9:30 it used to be 10 something but 9 something is correct and there on 2 something episode..soo idk but they cant stop showing due to many ppl..ahem i mean many ANIME fan like to watch it so yep

  • im going mad without naruto...cartoonnetwork is officialy bad imo now...at least disney XD is good, plus it focus on boys for once ( DISNEY) AT least we still have disney...GOSH! IM GOING TO BE AN INSANE NARUTO OTAKU IF ITS GONE FORVEER!!! Oh well, to the subtitled episodes!

  • Disney has long since been dead. they have nothing either. There is still adult swim and as for Naruto Viz still publishes the manga and Im sure theres DVDs for you as well.

  • man i miss toonami so much

  • I heard some new guy took over who stated that Anime was stupid and that he'd cancel toonami and all anime on cartoon network to make way for american cartoons, Bullshit reasons huh?

  • where did you hear this? Im really interested in finding out if that statement was true or not, because I have noticed that there is no anime left. While Im all for american cartoons taking out anime is kindda stupid.

  • dont know its just something i heard around on the internet

  • I might look into it because it sounds true when you think about it. I havent seen any new anime promoted on CN.

  • cartoonnetwork is gay now. i missed the old days when dbz, sailor moon, gundam wing, tenchi,and all the other great shows dat used to come on. nw CN got those gay shows like flapjack, total drama island and chowder

  • I dunno I dont like total drama island but I will never forget it in the background and this chick was flipping out because one of the guys saw her boobs or something(at first I thought I miss heard them but another character said boobs again) and I was like lol wtf just happened!

  • that toonami was better than no toonami and now even jetstream is gone

  • all I got to say is: agreed!

  • ♥so sad after more dan 11 years these was toonami final message so sad♥

  • what can i say CN is a fucking terrible station now and i hope everone who thought that chowder and flapjack were cool shows violates themselves with a fraight trian and choke on a cock while shooting themselves in the head

  • easy there buddy, chowder isnt that bad and its the best CN has to offer now a days...

  • yo i miss toonami so much, even way back when with moltar

  • im pissed they changed it to the dumb childish thing and now its gone all together i hate cn they got rid of so many shows with toonami cn....... they all suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I miss the good old Toonami. I watched it when i was like 4 and it was the best. I waited all week for it to come on. Then they changed him to the mother freaker! I was so angry! I missed the old Tom. As a matter in fact: I think i cried :'( RIP Tom 1-3 and Toonami 1-3 Go to hell Tom 4 and Toonami 4

  • toonami didn't die because of the new host it died cause of the people who runs cartoon network

    they mess everything up

  • lol I thought it would be a nice touch XD

  • and don't put the faggoty looking..... "robot" thing. original tom was the best and those fat ass sons of bitches at cartoon network fucked it up. ALL of cartoon network

  • hey go to the cn contact and copy and past as many times as possibly "bring back toonami"

  • the music discribes the sadness in our hearts

  • dude over dramatic

  • no sir just bored and upset

  • than kyou for making such a beautiful tribute to Tom

  • LMAO omg the picture XD

  • naruto is based off of the whole db and dbz saga

  • right down to the orange and blue outfit and the rival with pointy hair and bad temper(Though sasuke is a whinny bitch! Sorry fans you know its true)

  • hahaha way too funny

  • i agree but i like it becuase i HOPE one day the creator will show some fan service but until that day we must wait im not an uber fan though i like the classics like Kenshin

  • to tell the truth im enjoying naruto way more then i did with dbz in dbz it got to repetitive and was little annoying even for a kid like me back then. anyways i belive naruto has a better constructed storyline and a very good theme,yes dbz is legendary but i ahve to say naruto is better(the fillers in naruto dont count)

  • Theres a video on youtube that says why they changed toms look it's because when they first came out they didn't have enough money to show toms face.Then when they did they totally fucked it up. Bye the way wasn't naruto on when they didn't fuck up toms look?

  • read the description I explain the whole naruto thing, and Im interested in this video you mentioned whats it called?

  • I forget what it's called but im sure if you search around im sure you'll find it

  • stop your making me cry !_!

  • someone needs to ass rape that little dildo who runs fried dynomite

  • There p goin to take off Naruto and no more anime will be on CN becuase Toonami is gone now :(

  • old toonami was awesome!!

  • who ever was the bastard in C.N. that changed tom......and killed toonami.I hope it rots in hell..........

  • i didnt even watch the rest of the video after you put the jaws music on

  • Jaws?! sir that was One Winged Angel

  • "il give u kid friendly!" i miss tom 3 i also havent seen gundam since o1'

  • not the same way DBZ did

  • Its true. Old school toonami was the shiz. Fuck marketing money grubbers.

  • why did Naruto ruin Toonami huh cartoon network took all the action out of it when they where translating it that's why i watch it on watch it on streaming but i used it to see what episode to watch also but there's no reason why ONE show took down Toonami anyways especially Naruto wouldn't do that!

  • no one said it did, but it did help its downfall. First, Naruto wasnt translated by CN and Toonami, Viz media did the translating and dubbing and issued the licensing. Cartoon network just bought the show and put it on the air. The reason This helped with toonami's downfall is because they put all their resources into this one show trying to pitch it as the next DBZ. CN thought by having this show and crap that Toonami would survive,it didnt, and it didnt catch on like DBZ.

  • OH ok thanks for the info

  • also..Viz did a nice job with the American dub of naruto,Iv read the manga and seen the Japanese subs as well, and the American one is pretty much exact to that of the original :D

  • toonami such wonerful memories... outlaw star (love!!!), Ggundam,they even had sailormoon but it was funny at the end toonami will never die

  • In my own opinion shows like Naruto ruined Toonami. More people would rather watch adult swim everynight like Toonami was and I would put my money on just because the censorship. Toonami got childish and Adult Swim got more attention with less censorship.

  • R.I.P. Tom you are missed

  • Well I have to agree that Toonami was the best thing Cartoon Network will ever have on its television schedule. Heck i remember when MOLTAR ran the show.

    But my point is, that its not completely cartoon network's fault, it's also William Street's fault as well because they RAN TOONAMI. But you have to admit Toonami was going down hill when it ran those crapy shows and leaning to Naruto (Long reason why i hate that show) to keep them on people's good side, mostly kids.

  • but william street is run by cartoon network, and the shows that are chosen to be aired are all based on what CN feels should be. In a perfect world if people watched the new toonami yes it wouldnt be canceled however like i said before you cant expect people to watch something they dont like. its CN's job to look at the rating and go "oh wow they have gone done, lets fix it"

  • I say I they never should have gotten rid of Tom he and the computer lady made toonami toonami its just not the same and after 11 years it ended

  • if we're to be mad at someone it's fuking fried dynomite! that little fuk $#it took most of toonami's show time for an all out crap feast. Tead Turner is really letting CN go( CN not CNN) ok that's it who ever wants to raid CN headquarters say I

  • but that form, set the tone for the audience they were aiming for. The shows followed that age group and quality. People were turned off, there was a time were Toonami was the prime source of fresh anime in America and a launch site for cool original cartoons(Megas XLR and Samurai jack come to mind). There image changed and so did the fans. Its not our fault if we arent liking what Toonami has to offer its theirs there fore its their fault

  • and the packaging was crap...the shows were sub par the presentation was weak and it was a huge turn off to the fans who had come to know and love TOM. Yes truly its are fault toonami was canceled because when people are loss appeal to something they stop watching ratings go down and shit gets canceled, however its CNs fault for not keeping up with its fanbase!

  • well i dunno if it was just the tom that drug it down but, i think it also had to do something with the sub par programming they were putting on as well.

    but yes the choo choo train version of tom certainly didn't help.

  • I may love naruto but I love the old shows too. I will always remember the robot that I thought was annoying but became a huge part of my life. Because him coming on meant awesome television. I can't believe he and all that was on Toonami is gone. I hate Cartoon network for doing that but All good things must come to the end. Good-bye Toonami and Tom... R.I.P.

  • we will all miss it. good bye toonami. i'm not gonna cry, i'm not gonna cry....*cryes* why!!!!

  • i almost cried in front of my friend watching this D; bye tom and naruto and dbz and all the other cool anime on there.now there is NONE!!!!!!!

  • wow that is so creepy you uploaded this only 2 days away from one year later that toonami was canceled, or was it on the 22 of 2008 either way great vid but creepy post date

  • "Stay golden... bang."

    After that a part of my life just disolved into nothingness. That may sound emo, but it's true.

  • This almost brought a tear to my eyes..

    and Conic. Shut up man. You probably never saw the oldschool Toonami. You're only 12. Oldschool Toonami to you was probably Toonami on Saturday nights. Full of Bobobo-Bobo and Naruto. lol

  • wow final fantasy X song.

  • thought it was a nice touch ;)

  • yeah lol

  • i remember all these shows this is when it was in its prime now the only good show is naruto

  • care to explain your point?

  • He can't.He's an idiot.

  • 3 days and I cant even get a reason as to why its our fault

  • lol

  • tom would fit perfectly to unknown soldier by breaking benjamin.stay gold...*sniff*tom..BANG!![that­s the last thing he said]

  • noooooo :'( i wanderd what happend to him but what exacly happend to old tom?/

  • he got eatin by a red blob. it was part of toonami`s intruder special.

  • rly?/// i want to see it then =| never saw that part =|

  • WAAAAAAAAAA

  • dbz!!!!!

  • God the new CN sucks =/ I miss Zoids and Gundam....I mean, save for Naruto, the rest sucks balls.

  • I agree! Zoids was like my favorite show! Along with Gundam, Naruto, Cyborg009, the list goes on.....

  • if water 7 and cp9 hit the states one piece would of had the same respect naruto does! man cartoon network made a BIG mistake!

  • they could of at least end the show with DBZ!!!!AND I MISS MY ONE PIECE!!!!

  • i'm crying at the sad music D':

  • I think that they tired to make Tom & "Toonami" like a series or something.Kinda with a plot.

    I remember they did this thing where they said that tom's ship was being taken over by a virus or something and you could go on cartoon network's website and play as tom & try to out run the virus in a maze or something.I remember his ship exploding & they made a new tom.

    It was actually pretty stupid.

  • They were actual explinations as to why TOM changed. TOM1's ship was invaded and after the invasion(which you took part in...I liked it) he changed. then something happened to his ship which explains the upgrade. Then he changed again after another virus or something and then TOM4...just happened :/

    it was silly I guess in some sense but I thought it was pretty cool at the time.

  • I'm mad you mentioned Naruto, but not One Piece

  • ...Im sorry, to each his own...but One piece is a joke... Sorry just one guys opinion. I dont even like Naruto anymore it got old fast...

  • One Piece is so popular already, that negative opinions don't even matter. Fans won't argue, we'll just say, sorry you don't know a kickass anime when you see one.

  • I hate one piece...The first few episodes were ok, but now it just sucks

  • How do you accept the first few eps, but hate the recent ones? It gets better as it goes along!

    What's bad about the recent eps?

  • I guess not then...I just never found it entertaining. That doesnt mean you shouldnt watch it...by all means. Its just I have no taste for it.

  • Toonami is gone and thats where cartoon network got all there teenager views and killing it killed there network they have no other good program other than adult swim, if they cancled adult swim they would be completly fucked

  • Damnit, what's this music from, I'm blanking...

  • the skies above from final fantasy X, then Sephiroth's theme from FF VII and finally Hero by the Foo Fighters.

  • huuuuuu toonami is gone now there is nothing

    cartoon network made a BIG mistake cancelling this

  • bakugan is actually a good shOW..IN JAPAN But seriously Cartoon network you got your senses when u start making good shows and started airing Dubs by funnimation and Viz but then all of a sudden you want to become gay fags....if they were soo into censor ship and kid friendly then what is with Adult swim total and utter bull shit they need to stop being hypocrites and start putting good shows*i was using Adult swim as an example of good shows* TOONAMI FAITHFUL ATTACK TOM 4 !!!

  • CN is just gonna eventually crumble on itself cuz of:

    1 thier retarded shows

    2 no more toonami

    3 and all those good shows they took off cartoon network. Why did they take out dexters, powerpglz, ed edn edy, billy ad mandy, code lyoko and all those other good shows?!i really wanna know thier excuse.

  • -They FUCKED up when they gave us that gay ass Tom

    -They FUCKED up when they kept on shrinking the time block

    -They FUCKED up when they gave us Bakugan (WTF!!!)

    I literally wanted to cry last night because Toonami is the reason I got interested into anime. Without DBZ, I would've hated anime. Toonami was the longest running action block ever! How could you just throw away 11.5 years like that?!

  • CN has made the most dumbest move in their LIFE!!! CN is dead 2 me now, just for that bullshit they pulled. It's not Toonami's fault that they got cancelled, IT'S CARTOON NETWORK'S FAULT! CN cut back way too many shows that made Toonami. The only thread that kept them hanging on was Naruto because it was it's current DBZ. I'd say CN only has 1 or 2 shows worth watching. All the others, kids wouldn't even watch that bullshit. Adult Swim should just branch out to their own channel and watch CN die

  • Thus he died, Tom, the Wise. Lord of deep space and friend of man. Fair, and noble. Most beloved of the Toonami race. He paid the price. He redeemed the oath. Farewell my friend, farewell. (Except 4.. fuck 4!)

  • tom hangs up his helmet for good(the one he's not wearing) a CN is falling like a stone (fucking idiots desroying themselves like that)

  • cn sucks now toonami is gone and they have nothing but naruto to show

  • Naruto? What's that doing on there?

  • read my description ---->
