CN Rant 2: Toonami (2008)

[THEANnetWork]

i stopped watching toonami after it started only showing naruto 

[95Kittycat101]

I'm a girl and I loved teen titans great show check it out

[Izula]

@XxAngiexXRPI That would be Liger Zero from Zoids, one damn hell original Giant Robot anime.

There are some spots here and there in this video I don't entirely agree with (Never got into Yu Yu Hakusho and Bobobo bugged the shit out of me) but there are a lot of good points raised.

I'm going to assume he started maybe 2002-2004 on Toonami because he left out quite a few anime branded to my childhood ( Tenchi Muyo, Zoids, All Hayao Myazaki movies, etc.)

[Masterge77]

When Toonami was cancelled, everything went downhill for Cartoon Network, today, CN only shows 3 animes, all of them being heavily merchandise driven kids animes, being Pokemon, Bakugan, and Beyblade. As for anime on Adult Swim, well, let's not go there....

[DeathLee28]

memories

What about the month of miyazaki? (or however his name is)

[universeruler1]

you should really see samurai jack it's amazing.

[ninetales98]

Teen titans=awesome!

[ChibiNendoroid]

Yu yu hakushos my fav I have all the manga and dads it was one of my first animes. :)

[Epicsniper3x]

You made this video just before toonami ended.

[dslover10]

[mrsoshianna]

[dcervantesify]

[XxAngiexXRPI]

@dcervantesify me too :'(

[TVsmasher66]

BOBOBOBOBOBO WAS SO FUNNY!!!!! XDDDDDDDDDD

[DeadlyFormer91]

at least cartoon network has SOME good shows(as of 2010-2011)

Their bringing back THUNDERCATS

[TVsmasher66]

@DeadlyFormer91 Yep, this'll be fun. :D

[iAreAless]

R.I.P. Toonami 1997-2008 :C

[Weegeeisgoingtokillm]

@iAreAless I thought in was 2001,

[sheepmaster11]

@theslyy1 omfg yes that was epic

[spiderfred1]

Bobobo just spontaneously ended after someone points out that an amazing battle is about to take place, bobobo then says well too bad it's the last episode, then everyone starts yelling...

[haloteen100]

I LIKE ZATCH BELL IT USED TO BECOME A HIT in all anime shows. i was trying to find that game for my ps2

[flareose]

@haloteen100 I have the game, but it's kind of hard to play because they don't show you how to attack in the beginng :D

[haloteen100]

tsunami was good i like it and always like to look at it every saturday , im a fan of anime , but not to be mean but theres nothin wrong with dragonball z series

[hellpainterx1]

seriously??? the one piece anime was CRAP. thats 4kids at work for you

[IvoryRoseify]

You forgot gundam wing and Tenchi muya those where awsome shows!

[yukinotsanechan]

You missed Rurouni Kenshin and prince of Tennis didn't last half the season cuz the presentation was unexpected.

[theslyy1]

anyone remember ZOIDS???

[lilshamanking]

@theslyy1 yeahhhhh!!!! but just the one with bit cloud & liger zero

[KaitonWLOC]

@theslyy1 Of course and I was REALLY young when I watched it, still use my favorite line from it often. "Hey, don't stop so sudden!"

[XxAngiexXRPI]

@theslyy1 I do that's show with that white robot lion thing :D

[steviemack001]

princ3 0f t3nn1s sucks.

[PrimalxxFear]

i am sending Cartoon Network an email and letter talking about Toonami

[MrThembones]

@PrimalxxFear good, it wont make a difference.

[b0btheasian]

toonami was one of cartoon networks better ideas but then they decided lets change it to thursday nights. so ok thats not to bad. oh now lets get rid of half the shows and put in an hour of code lyoko. ok now lets change it name. now lets change its name back and put it on saturday. now lets have toonami and another show on thursday. you know what since were going down the shitter lets just get rid of it all together

[abusivebryan]

i remember when toonami used to have dragon ball z

[highoffasharpies]

i was watching this one ranter named cyberwolf087 and he brought a interesting point

1)toonami was popular becuase internet was not i dont know about many people but i got into the intenet in 2008, my point is you can look at anime on Internet

2) Bad Shows. Not even Naruto could save it from horrible animes

[Buttrflykissesb]

@ 2:12 My favorite show in the whole WORLD!!!

[Superwolf1337]

One piece,naruto,samurai jack,MAR,and Bobobo were my favorites

[Willamette53594]

@Superwolf1337 I like a whole lot of anime, but back in the day, Naruto was the anime I watched the most.

[tawnyclawx]

I never understood Samurai Jack, because I was, like, 6, and he rarely ever spoke. The random action scene through me off.

[ossy102]

How can you sound like a little kid?

[tawnyclawx]

Prince of Tennis, really never cared about it

[universeruler1]

@tawnyclawx yeah i would always have to be bored watching waiting to watch the better shows

[Willamette53594]

My family and I used to watch Naruto every Saturday night. A year later, it wasn't on for one week, it wasn't on for a whole month after that, and that's when I found out Cartoon Network took it off the air. It sucks, because we loved that show only so much, and I still miss it. I can still watch it on Youtube and Hulu, but it just doesn't feel the same.

[tawnyclawx]

Bobobo, Zatch Bell, these are the shows I reminisce about ^^

[Willamette53594]

@tawnyclawx I didn't care very much for Zatch Bell, but I liked Bobobo.

[Superwolf1337]

@Willamette53594 I miss Naruto too. Your whole family watched it? That's kinda cool

[Willamette53594]

@Superwolf1337 Not my WHOLE family, just me, my brother, and my father. Sorry for the mis-typing.

[Superwolf1337]

@Willamette53594 That's what I thought. I really miss naruto. Bobobo was really funny.Loved it.

[MrCoworker]

GO I MISS BOBOBOBOBOBOBO

[wolfdevon117]

toonami fell and I am sill so sad they did a great starcraft review look it up they didnt review shit that they were paid to say '5/5 greatest game ever' they never did that also samuri jack ftw that was my favorite show they like stoped it in florida at secound season idk what happen next XP times 10101010010000x cartoonnetwork sucks now and after wasting 30min of jhonyof jhony test i wanted to kill myself RIPold nintendo and oldCN (bagpipes playing) )': good bye samurijack andsouthpark64RIP

[Desi1204]

now toonami is cancelled!! I cried when I found that out!

[STOOPITCORN]

what the frack, you didn't mention Mar, Gundam, .hack, zoids, IGPX, Megaman or Rurouni Kenshin

[mewami]

NARUTO FTW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wickedpie77]

god i feel so young i havent heard of half of these shows :T

[Robi2009]

If I remember good, DB Z had 291 eps.

[Phr33lancer]

Well, at least Prince of Tennis was, and is better than the Pokemon series!

Pokemon=bad voice actors

[ND999taufan]

Wait, you forgot to add the Transformers on Toonami, I loved it

[deidara173]

@ND999taufan Armada is where it all started in being major

[hillomate]

cn sold dragonball and there selling there dc rites if u want desent cartoons now u have to go to toonick witch is good after 6 amd boomarang

[amdsoccer94]

damn toonami is possibly the only thing that could save CN now. now all they show is shit like chowder, flapjack, and adventure time with bitch and retard.

[basketballgirl224]

BO BO BO WUZ MY FAVE OUT OF ALL THOSE search gintama, its in japanese but theres subtitles in english and ull love it!!! its hilarious!!

[GomeztheWolf]

Bobobo is the hilarious. If you're depressed, you really need to watch it. It'll make you so happy.

[nuclearmaster2]

1:27 manga? more like mango! lol, jk.

[sorryiamprimera25]

The worst cartoon on Cartoon Network without a doubt is Total drama island. Total drama island is an animated reality show and we all know how reality shows suck ass.

[TheJthar]

No mention of Outlaw Star. Man so many memories of me and my friends getting together after school to watch that show. One of the greatest.

[TheJthar]

@TheJthar Oh yeah and I completely forgot about Rurouni Kenshin and Gundam Wing. Those kicked ass too

[Crackerkiller5]

lol it sounds like you said mango at 1:22

[bigblue21148]

how could you not mention outlaw star dang

[Crackerkiller5]

@bigblue21148 Outlaw Star was awesome.when i was little i tried making a lego gun of Gene's Caster Gun

[0BornofDesire0]

if you want to watch cartoon or anime its better to find online streaming sites

[TheInvaderZoe]

i think pokemon mystery dungeon was on toonami.

[blacktee31]

Is this dude special? " I read the manga." Its magna not manga.

[PIEGUYRULZ]

@blacktee31 magna? it's manga (long A sound)

[blacktee31]

@PIEGUYRULZ Im pretty sure its pronounced (mag-nuh). Btw, I meant no disrespect.

[blacktee31]

@PIEGUYRULZ Damn maybe Im retarded. It is manga. I apologize.

[PIEGUYRULZ]

@blacktee31 haha it's fine, thanks for apologising

[LindenBree]

@PIEGUYRULZ Manga is not supposed to be pronounced with a long A. Not in Japan that is, and well... the Japanese way of saying it is obviously more correct. They say it like mon-guh.

And yup, I know that's a year old comment. I replied anyway, since no one else did. Sue me.

[universeruler1]

@LindenBree why so pissed

[LindenBree]

@universeruler1 I wasn't pissed -_- Why would I be? Mispronouncing "manga" is a common mistake, and certainly nothing worth getting mad about :/

[universeruler1]

@LindenBree i guess you just sounded made to me, but it's alright because you're not mad

[UltraAnimaniac101]

@blacktee31 Dumbass...

[blacktee31]

@UltraAnimaniac101 Eat a dick. I apologized.

[Zirganx]

@blacktee31 What a retarded ¬¬

[blacktee31]

@Zirganx U cant jump off mine.

[megadisneyfan2]

4kids butchered 1piece! i don't watch dat show ever; but, i assure u , if u watch the FUNImation dub you'll like it more.

[CheezeFox]

I still remember when Toonami was hosted by Voltar, that was interesting. But, obviously Tom was a hell of a lot more awesome... until his more recent incarnation... Tom shouldn't have a face. It's just wrong.

[drvader5000]

Toonami has died last year, now it's just an anime night on saturday nights all night.

[platinumluigi]

Samurai Jack was on in 2008? Dang, I thought the show was off the air after 2004.

[daxtertest]

what about:

dragon ball GT

justice league UNLIMTED

megas exlr

etc(i think)

[fallout3pipboy1]

ya toonami was fuckin epic wel til u said

[RVDFAN364]

RIP CN

[poisenpotato123]

i miss toonami it was awesome i always waited for saturday to watch dbz and samurai jack but today its gone

[RVDFAN364]

@poisenpotato123 same here dont forget naruto

[sweetsuperhero9]

dude prince of tenis is so cool you should watch it

[gaaraofthedesertfan]

I Think We Can Allllll Agree That The Old Cartoonnetwork Was God!!! I Mean Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo, Hamtaro, Dexter, Powerpuff girls, All Of Tonami, Code Lyoko, Courage, Ed,Edd, And Eddy. Man What AHwesome Memories....

Now The "CN" Is Crap. They Even Changed The Damn Name To "CN" DX WTF!!????

[drvader5000]

@gaaraofthedesertfan Why is everyone forgetting Batman TAS and Batman Beyond, those shows were great.

[gaaraofthedesertfan]

@drvader5000 Oops, Lmao. Sorry!Dx. I wrote that comment at like 3 a.m. so my mind didn't retain every show. But yes. It was a great show you gotta love them superheros.

[TEHarmon223]

best memories ever were on Saturdays watching Zatch Bell, One Piece, and then Bobobo-bo bo-bobo

[kj5383]

i miss dexter from CN that show ruled

[jamiedw21]

yu yu hakusho is one of my favorite animes, but if u watch the uncut version, u would never guess it was on cartoonnetwork

[savagestorm55]

Oh yeah... I forgot to say does anyone remember MAR? I mean I know it had a short run on tonami but still......

[gaaraofthedesertfan]

@savagestorm55 MAR Was EPIC X3

[savagestorm55]

Yeah......naruto lossed me after the battle between naruto and saska (did I spell that right) after that the story sorta became bland to me.

[commandonehf]

bobobobobobo was fuckin pimp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[poopmyridelog]

Samurai jack was good but they never finish the story

[icetray123]

toonami had some good stuff. I remember when they had ronin warriors

[littlegrimmie1]

tenis what about a anime about card games? HINT HINT

[Meeperish]

I love Samurai Jack! I used to have an anime crush on him */////*

[theguybelowmefarted]

you forgot rurouni kenshin man haha that show was sick

[MroffthechainzV2]

YU-YU-Hakusho Kicked Ass. You missed out :(

[theguybelowmefarted]

@MroffthechainzV2 yeah he missed out on samurai jack too..

[eddycatboy]

bo bo bo bo is funny!!!! 10/10

[MEGACHICKEN527]

cartoonetwork is like 4kids now crapy

[ihatetheworld90]

one piece sucks

[steelcity51]

@ihatetheworld90: it sucked because 4kids dubbbed it

[oberutyure]

Actually, 4Kids didn't dub Bobobo, Toei Animation did. And I'm pretty sure that all the episodes were shown and it ended at a cliff hanger so that people could hopefully go off to buy the manga. Too bad there weren't any reruns... OTL

[Naruku2121]

When they got rid of Toonami they were like "Let's screw up any last chance of having any decent cartoons ever agian and show completely mindless and poorly made shows!"

[jboy1708]

when dbz was on toonami i wasent in to dbz but 2 years later i loved dbz but by then we had f***in cn real

[Keyboardguy99]

Zatch Bell, was the Toonami show. I loved it

[Keyboardguy99]

Toonami was good.  BTW, how old are you

[DJLilGansta]

tht look on toonami was the best then they came out wit a new retarded lookin 1 wit a bunch of friends nd nao tht canceled toonami overall............damn.......­

[eba2294]

justice league was the best but BTAS was better

[mochico88]

Does anyone remember YuYu Hakusho being on Adult Swim before it was put on Toonami?

[Coolpeeps25]

when bobobobobobo ended I was mad at 4kids for ending the show

[PRIVATECorp]

I wish Cartoon Network bring back Toonami and all of its anime goodness. Man, what I wouldn't do to get One Piece back on the air, only make it more less 4Kids.

[MrFattikins]

true true true you were right about the worst story line but they should make a sequal or something

[darkblade2271]

naruto was just wierd. the plot went all over the place. until it got really, really, boring. you were just waiting for it to get back on the main story.

[xokimmiebabixo]

I watched Samurai Jack alot when it was on the first time it aired, I watched a couple of Eps. I never really got the point, but stangely, I loved it lol. Will maybe because I was 7.

[MrFattikins]

bring back nose hair of bobobobobo

[darkblade2271]

that show was crazy, random, and hilarious. why didn't they finish it off. It just ended with a cliffhanger. probably wasn't good to cancel it.

[TheAharon2010]

toonami was great but why did they take it off?

[extrudatinoal]

samurai jack and teen titans is back in norway

[jrr12385]

what about naruto

[cuznspkerlol]

Samurai Jack FTW!

[SHENRON200]

No more Toonami Jet Stream

[gathimest]

They used to have Rave Master on too, i liked that show even if nobody else did.

[SgtThom]

@gathimest

Me two....

[cruzer05]

Samurai Jack and Justice League rocked!

[babiiswa9908]

i have to agree gt was good hey its all dragonball tho

[ragglefragglecalp]

he forgot one of the best toonami shows every which is Megas XLR, that show was such a parody and so quick witted

[llama1498]

DVD video on toonami box????

[TheNamesRock221]

You know what really pissed me off? CN advertised that they would be showingJustice League Unlimitd again, but hen it's slected timeeslot rolls 'round, they don't show it. Like CN can't make up it's mind. Don't you think you've pissed off the first generation fans enough? Apparently not CN, appareently not.

[llama1498]

dragonbal gt was pointless dragonball z was fine

[llama1498]

they did do something and something horrible THEY ENDED TOONAMI

[Stradivarius12506]

llama1498,

DragonBall GT wasn't pointless, it was pretty good to be honest.

[llama1498]

ya but it wasnt as good as Dragonball Z though

[MrTrogdor41]

*sigh*.....i miss the old cartoon network...(not CN) ....i agree with you all the way. especially bobobo! so pointless but so freakin funny!

[KentaAndTotodile]

Justice League was so awsome

[suburbanweekend]

teen titans! ftw too bad toonami doesn't exist anymore

[heylinspongesprite]

DBZ, Teen Titans, Samurai Jack, Justice League, The Prince of Tennis (it is thrilling; I'm a player myself, it's pretty interesting), bobobo-bo bo-bobo (hilarious!), Zatch Bell (my all-time fav on Toonami) were EXCELLENT. Naruto is too overrated.

R.I.P. Toonami

[raiskul]

yeah close future toonami has forsaken us come back tom bring sara and lose the douche bots and don't forget the absolution ill b waiting plz don't end it like this lets kick some intruder ass like the good old days or should i say lockdown seeing as you died against the intruder either way tell us all wen u plan on saving cartoon network from the abyss so we can all turn our tvs back on

[fanficlover1989]

I wouldn't mind seeing Sailor Moon again

[THEalexragonTV]

I LIKED THE CLASSIC DBZ!

[THEalexragonTV]

um does anyone remember SAMURAI JACK???!!!

[copnite12342]

whaaacth out!

yea i loved it but i like the english version better.

[5692guy]

DON PATCH WAS SO FUNNY!!!!

[ems3tv]

naruto SUCKS

[Commandos12]

i agree with u :D, i've watched it once.. hated it :D

[Blaz3ii]

can anyone help me remember this one show i forgot the name but it was about 3 kids who would like transport to a game world something like that

[2876542]

@blaz3ii You mean Code Lyoko?

[Blaz3ii]

finally an answer after 2 months thx

[frogerzard6606]

toonami unfortanatly toonami got no reboot

[xXAntiHero666Xx]

Toonami aired a lot of my favorite shows of all time like Yu Yu Hakusho, DBZ, Ruroni Kenshin, Gundam, and a lot of other show that came out in the 90s and early 2000s. DAMN! I miss the old Toonami.

[JangoFettSucks]

looks like cn disney channel and nick been smokin a bunch or been wantin to listen to those DAMN SOCCER MOMS OR WANT TO MAKE PPL LAUGH WITH FARTS aint workin for us old cn fans damn at least dey brang back teen titans bily and mandy and ed edd n eddy

[jooshiscrazy]

Well, if you liked One Piece so much, then you should watch the new uncut English dub or the Japanese with subs. It's way better than what was shown on Cartoon Network.

[pandainulikespie]

I remember watching Toonami...kinda...I liked Rave Master and Bo bo bo bo-bobobo...those were good...

[kendell9000]

you forgot IGPX and Megas XLR

[SpinoGod2008]

the actuall was awsome, note the use of the word was

[Montagemock]

only have 1 thing to say......CHURROS!!!

[acevesbitch]

i remmeber when toonami came out i went through puberty!

[rainwingwolf]

Man... when I was like, 6, I used to stay up till ten o' clock and watch Rave Master and Zatch Bell. Me and my little bro always were laughing our asses off at Bobobo... *Sigh* When will they make a channel called Toonami and put up anime that people my age would like... I'm stuck with Adult Swim, and I'm never awake when I wanna watch Full Metal Alchemist, and Code Geass. CartoonNetwork seriously need sto realize what kids enjoy these days... not what a bunch of tards in Fried Dynamite like...

[SuperSaiyanFart]

its sad, we want all these old shows bac but we need to remember, theres a new generation rising among us, and they need to think of new things to show, its like back then before we wer born yogi bear, huckleberry hound, rocky and bullwinkle wer the shit and then they made cartoon network as tht generation grew and we came along, its the same thing again and no matter how much we hate this shit we jus gotta deal with it, im sure alot of understand wat im sayin

[Miltonnnwazzam]

Yu yu hakusho was an awesome show highly recomd it :D

[DrakeH153]

you guys are FOOLS if u dont like dbz

i lie in bed everynight and think about it

i love so!!

[darexinfinity]

First Samurai Jack left

Then Dragon Ball left

Lastly, Naruto left along with the rest of Toonami

I don't think they have anything now....

[NickTehManProduction]

Then about 9 months later, TOONAMI ended.

Sadly...
