Wow does this take me back. I actually got CN just before toonami aired. It really introduced me to anime. Such good times. When CN was great. Thanks for letting me relive a piece of my childhood.
i feel like i could cry all my favorite shoes before i hated f*****g cartoonetwork yu yu hakusho G gundam Transformers dragonball kenshin samuria jack and more what happened to carttonnetwork!!!
i totally agree with marioMan2010, they never should have taken toonami off in the first place, that was one of the biggest mistakes they ever made. One day they will pay for it and i'll just sit back and laugh my rear end off!! Lol.
To who ever made this video, thank you for reminding me of how great old toonami was as well as cartoon network in general, and thak you for keeeping it alive.
God this stuff was,still is,and will always be the shit.I just wanna tell the new CEO to go fuck himself then break his nose for damning this new generation to the pits of ignorance with retarded ass shows
thank you for making this awesome vid, it is a shame that kids today won't know what Toonami is. In my opinion Toonami was the best block ever and I thank you!!!
@MetaLHeade666 It would be cool, but I doubt they would do it. Jetstream was a joint venture between CN and Viz, and Viz has their own video site now.
After hearing the motivational speach at the end I had to look back at my life, And the only thing I regret to this day still is never finding my dream, I look back at my life so far and see no goal, no dream, no drive, and i regret every moment of it, I simply float, in the see of life, no direction of my own, simply taken by the currents of time and life to drift.
This takes me back to when I was a child. Thank you, I'd forgotten about a good amount of these shows, and because of you, I'm watching old shows like Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, G Gundam, etc. My fiance have actually gone out and bought the boxed seasons for a lot of these cartoons so that our children can watch good cartoon shows instead of the crap that they have on now. Thank you so much, and this video is amazing, very well done and a great testament to the childhood we all once had.
they should remake Toonami like boomerang with the most bad ass and awsome anime shows, where the dumb producers from cartoon network who cancelled it can't hurt it. Good shows are practically an endangered species and cartoon network is no place for them now
I can name every anime shown here. That proves I am such a child of the 90's and of Toonami. This is a wonderful video, thank you so much for making me cry and reminding me of my childhood when I could actually watch Cartoon Network <3
@thenightmarebeforeha I stopped buying cards years ago, so I haven't got many tuners. The new cards I do get, I trade for. So, I don't use them much since I can't use them much. One I have is Dark End Dragon. I can't remember the other. My main decks are a Dragon deck and a Gravekeeper's deck.
i just had a WTF NOSTALGIC MOMENT o.o best show lineup of all time ever.. hands down, no questions asked.. the only real reason i flicked on CN everyday after school/weekends
@CardShowOff every episode up to the final episode of the first domino city were the best. I kind of like 5D's but I hate how they replaced the fusion with synchro shit, other wise it does have a good storyline
@MetaLHeade666 yeah but it's easier to get powerful monsters on the field with synchro summoning, and to achieve the true challenge of defeating your opponent.
@Pence128 I'm trying to collect as many DVDs of shows that were on Toonami. I'd like to get some of the merchandise, too. Like the watches, CDs, and those rare t-shirts. :3
@obeliskofra1 I'm pretty much the same. I still watch a LITTLE bit of adult swim here and there or comedy central or even TBS. But other than that the only reason I can find to watch tv is the weather forecast.
@encfam naa i watch my anime subbed online, i even see the earth's mighties heroes online,Everything is online eventually TV will be broadcast online.
@obeliskofra1 TV is more likely to bring in new anime fans because only people that already like anime will go to a site like Crunchyroll. And TV will always be around. It may change, but it will always be around. That's like saying that physical media is going to go away just because you can get most things digitally.
@obeliskofra1 This is Where the Journey into Anime Began for so many of us teaching us that there was a bigger world a bigger universe than we dared dream before and to think that the portal that once freed so many minds is now gone is a great and terrible tragedy
i never really understood this? why was toonami canceld exactly? I mean, i loved his little reviews he had on EVERY movie, as if he watches them nonstop like we all do. And the little toonami movies they had of himself as a comericial. Then also the variety of cartoons/anime that was on toonami. Way better than niktoons or cartoonnetwork shit.
@TheGameNinja Gay? Why would someone cancel the most watched show by teenagers and kids? Almost every single guy at my school, were like WHAT THE FUCK! So im sure, prep, nerd, goth, adult, kid, dog, it dosnt matter, a vast majority of people watch toonami.
@jakeboston1-Dude, let him say shit. He's just a fool who when was a kid wasn't allowed to watch tv because his mommy didn't want him to have a bomb ass childhood like we, the ones who grew up watching Toonami. I'll tell you this, the day is was over. I felt like a great part of my chilhood died. It hurt, but really. Toonami will never die. Not as long like us keep it alive. This guy is just butt hurt he didn't get to enjoy something great like us :D.
@TheGameNinja i agree with you, i mean its really stupid for CN to cancle this, this was the best. you know when i was young i used to wait every friday and saterday for toonami and now is cancle, man this stinks
@117Jorn Yeah, yeah, we all know about it. But it isn't official and it's not on TV. I might as well just watch my DVDs. It's a cool little thing, but it's not the same and we all know it. And please don't advertise stuff on my videos.
I keep watching this again and again and find myself thinking, 11 years of my life that helped shape who I am, If Toonami hadn't existed I'd be so very very differant, as I'm sure most of you toonami faithful would be as well.
Toonami the block on cartoon network that was cartoon network, that made it what it was at first. May Toonami return one day or be recreated for a future generation so that they can see what we grew up having, Rest In Peace Toonami, the faithful will never forget
Oh my gosh... I cried at the end of this video just like how I cried at the end of Toonami's final broadcast. I loved it, and watched it ever since I can remember. I was just as sad when they removed Toonami Jetstream. I was on that site whenever Toonami wasn't on. I will never understand why they removed it, and started putting the worst shows ever imaginable. Thank you for this video. I appreciate it so much.
I have to say, the fact that the credits were long enough to place one of the best toonami pieces ever made, shows just how much power this block commanded.
From the beginning to the end, from Molar to Tom 3.0, I was there. I'll stay gold to honor your memory and hope that one day this grievous error will be undone and you shall return to the faithful, but until that day I shall keep my memories of the good times we had.
@Phenominal222 TOM 1 was the pudgy little guy that took over after Moltar and was killed by the Intruder. TOM 2 took over for him and was destroyed in another event (which was online in comic form), except for his head. His head was placed on his new body, TOM3, which looked a lot like TOM 2 but was more muscular looking. And then TOM 4, the one with the face, came along out of nowhere near the end.
I only regret that I never really got to enjoy Toonami as a kid, mostly because all the stuff I wanted to see came on when the news was playing. That said, what I did manage to see holds a special place.
Cartoon Network & its executives can go to hell. Nickeloden & the other networks also. They tried to turn our childhood memories into a farce & failed. I look back on the shows I grew up and salute those animination staffs who put real effort into their work. I learned some much from the shows on Toonami and will never forget. As I grow up I realize that my children will never get to see much quality and art. Instead they will get brainrotting cartoons and made by whores just sell merchandise.
This video is like a knee straight to the stomach full of nostalgia. In a good way.
I'd forgotten half the shows that they aired until i watched this. I knew i enjoyed it, but i couldnt have told you specifics.
Now i can remember watching episodes of Yu Yu hakusho, Tenchi, Gundam W. and being like "woah, thats so awesome!".
Even Sailor Moon. Since i was 8 at the time, i didnt really get the gender specific context. There were ppl w/ super powers, space was involved, i was happy.
I had been scouring the interwebz trying to figure the name of Tenchi Muyo, and looking for the dubbed episodes. Nice to know that others remember it to.
for the record, i think Tenchi Muyo! and Tenchi Universe are alternate versions of the same story. Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki is the seq. to the former, i think.
@Xevdas Yeah, you're right. Those two are alternates. I don't know where you can find it online, but like I've said before, FUNimation recently bought the rights to the franchise and will be releasing all of the old Tenchi series soon. I have the old DVDs, but if FUNi puts it out on Blu-ray, I'll be buying it.
So many memories... These were the shows that raised me and a lot of Generation Y as a kid, and I think I turned out okay.
I'm just worried about what kind of shows are raising the younger kids. Where will they learn the lessons of honor, if not from Gundam? Where will they learn the lessons of strength, if not from Dragonball? Where will they learn the lessons of friendship, if not from Yu Yu Hakusho? Where will they learn the lessons of kindness, if not from Ruoroni Kenshin?
@gamekatt101 The American anime industry as we know it today might not even be here if not for Toonami. FUNimation with Dragonball Z put anime on shelves it had never seen before and it actually sold.
With things the way they are now, if Toonami were to return (yes, I know it's next to impossible), we could see a renaissance of the American anime industry. That is, if they had a brand new show that managed to get very popular very fast. But, hey, they caught lightning in a bottle once already.
These shows and more were just some of my favorites. I remember rushing home from school in second grade so I could watch the Sailor Scouts fight evil with their cool powers and those awesome talking cats! ^_^
*sighs* ...Even now, it's hard to believe it's gone. :( Love it or hate it, for us 90's kids, Toonami was truly the greatest thing on TV. I don't think the anime industry will ever be the same without it. -gamekatt101
@werewolfjedi38 Well, FUNimation already has a channel, so I don't think they'd go for it. Also, Anime Network doesn't have a real channel anymore, just on demand. But I would support someone buying the rights to Toonami. OF course, we have no clue if it would mean good or bad things for a different network to have it, but it's better than nothing. Literally.
no not dual the show is called isekia no sikishi monogatari may have mispelled a bit but thats what the show is called its in a paralell world with giant not robots but their like machines yet are not made of metal their made of bone or something check it out its an okay show i think
oh theirs also another Tenchi spin off this time with mecha and alternate worlds and its about his brother haha its only airing in japan right now on TV but i've seen up to episode 7 and its fricken funny/action packed haha Kenchi, Tenchi's brother is just like him and has the same problem, 6 women all have the hots....for him haha xD also this vid is EPIC!!
Man I remember every one of those shows especially Outlaw Star (got the box set dvd's), Sailor moon...yes I watched it, DBZ, and Gundam wing all of these shows got me interested in Anime and made me who I am today.
-
So to TOM and all the guys of Toonami
from the fans of anime and awesome cartoons everywhere
@TheGameNinja eh i use to watch it and um, wtf was it, like some kidna space outlaw thing or something like that, like cowboy bepbob but coooler. But i watched tenchi for ever, just forgot the name
@TheGameNinja YES! shun me if you want, i just dont remember the names, i was like 8 when i watched them maybe? idfk, im 18 now, it seems like is been 15 years since i even heard of toonami
@TheGameNinja because Tenchi is the most epic show ever and everyone sees pics and clips and remembers it but no one remembers the name I mean it's been years since it aired here in the states
@Bigstevo101 well, just to help spread the word, FUNimation recently acquired the rights to the Tenchi franchise, and they'll be re-releasing all of them on DVD soon. :3
i cant use my actual under 500 chars, so here's some famous things... I liked 0:00 - 10:00 , the part toonami was played...plus your TM. The one person who missed the like button needs to die in a hole and burn in hell.
Shows that toonami aired that I loved: Gundam Wing G Gundam Gundam Seed YuYu Hakusho Dragonball Dragonball Z Mobile suit gundam 08th MS team Cyborg 009 Megas XLR Sailor moon (When I was VERY young before I noticed how much of a colosal mess it was) Neon Genisis Evangelion Naruto Batman Superman Thundar cats Batman Beyond Zoids Transformers Samurai Jack SD Gundam force YuGiOh Justice leauge Star wars Jackie chan Teen Titans bobobo Pokemon Month of miyazaki
Man, this never gets old... brings back the good days of Cartoon Network (back when it was worth watching)

I keep watching this again and again and find myself thinking, 11 years of my life that helped shape who I am, If Toonami hadn't existed I'd be so very very differant, as I'm sure most of you toonami faithful would be as well.
Toonami the block on cartoon network that was cartoon network, that made it what it was at first. May Toonami return one day or be recreated for a future generation so that they can see what we grew up having, Rest In Peace Toonami, the faithful will never forget

Oh my gosh... I cried at the end of this video just like how I cried at the end of Toonami's final broadcast. I loved it, and watched it ever since I can remember. I was just as sad when they removed Toonami Jetstream. I was on that site whenever Toonami wasn't on. I will never understand why they removed it, and started putting the worst shows ever imaginable. Thank you for this video. I appreciate it so much.

I have to say, the fact that the credits were long enough to place one of the best toonami pieces ever made, shows just how much power this block commanded.

Here lies Toonami 1997-2008 RIP
From the beginning to the end, from Molar to Tom 3.0, I was there. I'll stay gold to honor your memory and hope that one day this grievous error will be undone and you shall return to the faithful, but until that day I shall keep my memories of the good times we had.

@Phenominal222 There were 4 TOMs. :P
TheGameNinja 1 year ago
@TheGameNinja 4 Toms? I remember the first then Tom 2.0 then the one with the actual face when was the Tom inbetween?
Phenominal222 1 year ago
@Phenominal222 TOM 1 was the pudgy little guy that took over after Moltar and was killed by the Intruder. TOM 2 took over for him and was destroyed in another event (which was online in comic form), except for his head. His head was placed on his new body, TOM3, which looked a lot like TOM 2 but was more muscular looking. And then TOM 4, the one with the face, came along out of nowhere near the end.

I only regret that I never really got to enjoy Toonami as a kid, mostly because all the stuff I wanted to see came on when the news was playing. That said, what I did manage to see holds a special place.
AlphaandOmega 1 year ago
Cartoon Network & its executives can go to hell. Nickeloden & the other networks also. They tried to turn our childhood memories into a farce & failed. I look back on the shows I grew up and salute those animination staffs who put real effort into their work. I learned some much from the shows on Toonami and will never forget. As I grow up I realize that my children will never get to see much quality and art. Instead they will get brainrotting cartoons and made by whores just sell merchandise.

This video is like a knee straight to the stomach full of nostalgia. In a good way.
I'd forgotten half the shows that they aired until i watched this. I knew i enjoyed it, but i couldnt have told you specifics.
Now i can remember watching episodes of Yu Yu hakusho, Tenchi, Gundam W. and being like "woah, thats so awesome!".
Even Sailor Moon. Since i was 8 at the time, i didnt really get the gender specific context. There were ppl w/ super powers, space was involved, i was happy.
Thnx man

I had been scouring the interwebz trying to figure the name of Tenchi Muyo, and looking for the dubbed episodes. Nice to know that others remember it to.
for the record, i think Tenchi Muyo! and Tenchi Universe are alternate versions of the same story. Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki is the seq. to the former, i think.
Xevdas 1 year ago
@Xevdas Yeah, you're right. Those two are alternates. I don't know where you can find it online, but like I've said before, FUNimation recently bought the rights to the franchise and will be releasing all of the old Tenchi series soon. I have the old DVDs, but if FUNi puts it out on Blu-ray, I'll be buying it.
TheGameNinja 1 year ago
@Xevdas No problem. Glad you enjoyed it.
TheGameNinja 1 year ago
So many memories... These were the shows that raised me and a lot of Generation Y as a kid, and I think I turned out okay.
I'm just worried about what kind of shows are raising the younger kids. Where will they learn the lessons of honor, if not from Gundam? Where will they learn the lessons of strength, if not from Dragonball? Where will they learn the lessons of friendship, if not from Yu Yu Hakusho? Where will they learn the lessons of kindness, if not from Ruoroni Kenshin?

@ZombieSlayer54 True. Especially the Rurouni Kenshin one. That show can teach you a lot.

@gamekatt101 The American anime industry as we know it today might not even be here if not for Toonami. FUNimation with Dragonball Z put anime on shelves it had never seen before and it actually sold.
With things the way they are now, if Toonami were to return (yes, I know it's next to impossible), we could see a renaissance of the American anime industry. That is, if they had a brand new show that managed to get very popular very fast. But, hey, they caught lightning in a bottle once already.
TheGameNinja 1 year ago
Sailor Moon, Reboot, Dragonball, Zoids, Tenchi, Rave Master, Kenshin,
These shows and more were just some of my favorites. I remember rushing home from school in second grade so I could watch the Sailor Scouts fight evil with their cool powers and those awesome talking cats! ^_^
*sighs* ...Even now, it's hard to believe it's gone. :( Love it or hate it, for us 90's kids, Toonami was truly the greatest thing on TV. I don't think the anime industry will ever be the same without it. -gamekatt101

@TheGameNinja Sorry, gamekatt101, I accidentally deleted your post. :(
TheGameNinja 1 year ago
@TheGameNinja I think funimation should buy all the rights and properties to toonami, and make a new channel out of it
they would become the #1 watched channel over night, if not faster.
I mean yeah, the anime network does fine work, but toonami, that's on a whole other scale.
werewolfjedi38 1 year ago
@werewolfjedi38 Well, FUNimation already has a channel, so I don't think they'd go for it. Also, Anime Network doesn't have a real channel anymore, just on demand. But I would support someone buying the rights to Toonami. OF course, we have no clue if it would mean good or bad things for a different network to have it, but it's better than nothing. Literally.
TheGameNinja 1 year ago
@TheGameNinja they could add it to their channel, which would be nice.
here's to hope
