[archangel10550]

I CRIED WEN THEY TOOK TOONAMI OFF ...STILL DO

[Johnlindsey289]

Toonami was awesome when i was 16 as i was an anime fan since 93 when i watched Vampire Hunter D and Robot Carnival on TBS when i was 12 then i rewatched this show when i was 16 cause i grew up in the 80's with this show and also watched Sailor Moon ( i was in love with the scouts), Outlaw Star, DBZ, Tenchi etc. they were cool. Cheetah is still sexy as ever.

[latviancimmerian]

[StarwindAmada20]

[tnoble711]

[TuneTamasha]

[Chaos2ThaWorld1]

[inuyashavsnaruto]

HEY MOLTAR!!! The guy who was one of Space Ghost's enemies, back when he did Toonami before Tom was made!

[woodwin00111]

[vervada4000]

Brings back so many memories ><

[LONTIME]

can anyone tell me what was the name of the beat used in this intro this was the beat that started toonami in 98 i cant find this beat anywhere be one hell of a ringtone!!! lol

[shmookins]

WTF? the slaughtered one of cartoons' most a amazing openings! Why, why would anyone do such an evil thing? They didn't make a new one, they just butchered a classic!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

[LJK193]

0:28 does he say "Bring it homie"

[PhireMadeFlesh]

@LJK193

No, Mumm-Ra says, "Bring it to me!" (referring to the Sword of Omens)

[LJK193]

@PhireMadeFlesh Oh Ok. But it sure sounded like "Bring it homie"

[GreatMewtwo]

@PhireMadeFlesh Villain suggestion of the year: "Bring it to me!"

[Sprocketman]

Actually, Voltron had a Toonami intro right from the start: it was the first show to have one.

Oh, the stuff I wish I could find, like Toonami's second year intro for 1998, or those old skateboarder interviews. Damn my deteriorating tapes that probably don't have anything on them anyway.

[Darroth]

try toonamiarsenal.

[Sprocketman]

Already have, since 1998.

[sdzero]

Thundercats! Awesome! If the entire show was animated as good as the opening it would have been my favorite. It's still one of the best!

[PhantomBPR]

Freakin Sailor Moon, Thundercats, Dragon Ball Z, and Johny Quest, ever weekday after school

[eriathdien]

Okay, i understand you like this, but the original intro is waaaaaaaayy much better!!!!!!

[Zenigundam]

holy crap! I forgot this ever existed. thanks! takes me back

[BenW783a]

No problem. I'm glad you like it!

[fdief]

Great show, loved cartoon network alright... BUT CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THE HELL DID THEY CHANGE THE ORIGINAL OPENING SONG?

[BenW783a]

I had a CN/Toonami exec email me back in the day, and they said, more-or-less, that they felt that by adding their own opening themes, those shows would fit better into the Toonami theme.

Whatever.

[BabelOn4infinity]

because the toonami intro were always better than the originals

[fdief]

this intro was better than the original????

o.O

no way!

[BenW783a]

Toonami had good introductions, but they paled in comparison to the originals.

[Sasskitten]

They had done the same thing with Sailor Moon to.

[LONTIME]

can anyone tell me what was the name of this track used and is it a full track? I remember when cartoon network introduced toonami and all the shows in 97 it used this track

[BenW783a]

I myself don't know. If anybody out there does, could you please answer this user's question? Thank you!

[windowwisher]

I miss Toonami, Dragonball Z, Thundercats... *Sigh*

[BenW783a]

I know. Cartoon Network used to rock back in the day. I guess we're just getting too old.

[windowwisher]

Im going to start recording these shows and put them in a time capsul. Along with pictures from the 80s and everything.

[BenW783a]

Glad you like. I *know* I have a clean recording of it somewhere (without the green ID bar). I'll be on the lookout and post it once I track it down.

Thanks for the comment.

[PrincessAurora3]

thank youuuu!!! geez i have been looking for this toonami opening forever!!! the moltar days.. wow throw back. good stuff.

[Sprocketman]

As someone that's been trying to find Moltar-era clips for quite since these originally aired, I thank you.

I could do without those openings and closings, though, no offense.

Got any more Moltar-era clips? Maybe some of those interviews with skateboarders and the like?

[BenW783a]

No offense taken. Toonami did have a lot of nerve to jack with the original opening & ending themes.

I have hours and hours of Toonami programming from 1997 on through 2003, and most of it features Moltar.

I'll post more of these kinds of clips once I run across them.

Thanks for the comment.

[Sprocketman]

Um...I meant YOUR openings and closings, sorry. I actually loved Toonami's openings and closings.

Maybe you could donate said clips to the Toonami Digital Arsenal?

[Sprocketman]

Heh, wow, I sure sounded like a pompous ass there, didn't I? That didn't come out at ALL like I wanted it to.

Seriously, I love Toonami; it's openings, closings, music videos, everything about it, especially the early years. Thank you for uploading a small piece of it.

Also, thanks for uploading those Cartoon Planet clips. I loved watching Cartoon Planet and SG:C2C back in high school.

I hope you keep uploading these great clips.

[BenW783a]

That cracked me up. Don't worry, only a small piece of me thought you sounded like a pompous ass (but only for a second).

The rest of me understands that things don't always come out the way we intend in written form.

Thanks for all your comments and praise. I will continue to post more videos in the near future.
