Honestly, I think Toonami was a message to kids to always keep your head up and never give up on your dreams. Wow, hard to believe a cartoon could teach us so much.
This makes me remember all the times I would come home from school to watch this. Parents were divorced, and this kept me sane as a kid. Such nostalgia.
because of toonami i say is the reason i want to become a manga artist and work in the anime industry. when i saw toonami first air i was in a daze as to why the cartoons were so different and and when i watch this i remember watching as i first saw this one come in from the darkness on the television and as i sat and let the sunset enter my room and became calm and heard " why was i made? who made me? and what did they make me for? " i knew what i wanted to do when i grew up.
This is so amazing. I saw this so many times while watching DBZ as a 7-year-old little girl. Ten years later, this has the same effect on me. Mesmerizing. Awesome.
Toonami got me through my teens, the stories and the music got me through the war, and the reminiscing I do now just reminds me that I'm only 24. I'ts time to get on to that second career and keep writing the destiny .
If only we had more shows like this in the mainstream. Shows with life lessons and somewhat educational values. Plus, exceptional entertainment qualities. Maybe then, I would think that the youth of America would have a better future. Instead now they have ICarly, Zoey 101, Teen Mom, etc. dumbing down and destroying good. Making subhuman behavior okay and being stupid popular when they should be taught to strive and grow into smart, wise, independent adults... What... the... fuck... happened?!?!
The old anime scene on Toonami and Adult Swim put me on a maturity,intelligence,and creativity level FAR beyond my peers elementary through high school.Me and my brother wouldn't even be the same people if we weren't exposed to it.It's actually what inspired my brother to be a writer and me to join the Navy SEALs(The saiyan warriors on DBZ was my drive specifically lol)
Born in 1991 I watched dragonballz on my couch with my bro. Those memories stuck with my while most others memories faded. Gotta say, every time when they aired the Broken Promise video I felt awesome and even when I watch it now can't help but feel like there was nothing I can't do. Being in college this video speaks to me now more than ever.
woooow I remember this exact commercial.. From tv being one of the most exciting thing to watch in my spare time to not turning on my tv at all... R.I.P toonami.
Man, I would give anything to get Toonami back. They were awesome back then, shame they had to close. Cartoon Network, Hell, TV in general, has turned to shit in the last few years. I wish I actually savored the moments when Toonami was on, didn't actually know that they would stop broadcasting.
@IOYB What I meant to say was, Cartoon Network dumped a two hour block of awesome shows for some cheap gimmicks of shows. I just named one of those shows.
Its seem like when toonami got canceled, my life went upside down. It felt I had no one in life and had failing at school. But sometimes when I listen to this song I feel better inside. I feel inspired.
Toonami meant alot to me, there's something more to it but what is it, could it be I emotionly attached it with my life, I'm truely sad inside. Just come back toonami come back.
I am aiming this message to anyone and everyone who is reading these comments. There is a way to bring back Toonami, but it takes everyone doing their part.
1) Go to cartoon network's website.
2) Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on 'contact us'.
3) Choose 'programming' as a category, and then 'Toonami' as a topic.
I miss Toonami. I remember those days when I actually enjoy watching Cartoon Network, and many of its classic cartoons. Now, I only watch it for its Adult Swim programming. Sorry, but the cartoons they have now SUCK, including this live "game show" I always pass by.
Those of us who were born in the 90's are lucky, I know I sure am, my childhood memories :) !! OMG !!! I wish Toonami was still airing !!!! Why did they have to cancel Toonami !!!? Toonami had ALL THE GOOD SHOWS on there :) !! Plus I am an anime fan :) !! Please bring back Toonami at once !!! Who says that you have say goodbye to all the old classic shows :) ? These shows are a classic :) !! Toonami was a classic :) !! BRING TOONAMI BACK !!!
I'd almost say its sad that alot of the shows on Toonami helped defined who I am as a person, but seeing just how beautifully this video was put together makes that not seem so silly at all. Whats even better is I get the sense from other commenters that this feelings is wide spread. Makes the universe seem a little more managable. Thank you.
ugh screw this. i have so many nostalgic nights where id find myself hating life cuz i had it pretty bad when i was a kid (being the new kid, homework, ect.) then id see shit like this on tv and it just make me forget my troubles and put a smile on my face and in my heart.
why cant tv do that anymore? is because i have grown to old for this stuff? lmao prolly not but new cartoonetwork and disney is depressing -__-
Toonami was the only block that I can say, with confidence, not only cared about its viewers, but respected them, to an extent. They kept up a pretty good plot (Let that sink in, a plot for a PROGRAMMING BLOCK), and let the fans have a hand in "helping" TOM through those two events they had to defend the ship.
Not only that, but promos like this, which didn't really promote any show or sell a product, were made just to touch the hearts of its viewers.
Toonami wasn't just an afternoon block for me. It was a defining moment of my life. This ad defines me so well, it's like I subconsciously took who I am from this ad alone.
@lanceintersection144 Too true man, too true :( Toonami has such a special place in my heart and always will...they seriously need to give Toonami its own channel
I just came from Genericon in Troy, and they were screening some really great stuff there. they were doing showings of the original dub of outlaw star, cowboy bebop, steam detectives and Tenchi, and I was really hit by the magnitude of how much I missed the days when anime was at it's peak over here. the nostalgia that this stirs up for me is almost painful, and when I look at some of the stupid shit that they've replaced it with, stuff that gets canceled after a year's run...I want to go back.
I used to come back every day from school, and rush my homework just so I could get in front of the tv in time to watch all of Toonami. Even when it was showing reruns I would watch it from start to finish every day. For me and my friends it defined our childhood. We enjoyed these promos as much as the cartoons which is saying something. I wish they'd bring this back or give it its own channel. Thanks for everything toonami, I wish I could go back and enjoy you for just one more day.
yeah, after 72,504 views and 817 likes, its only natural that 6 people missed the like button. it takes practice ya know. but they finally got it right and now its 823 likes:)
Back in the day... Cartoon Network really DID know how to do cartoons, especially anime. Sucks that now the only way to find a good anime series is to stay up until like 2 AM on a Sunday Morning to watch FMA, or Ghost In The Shell. And they used to have some of the most badass gimmicks, like the New Years Evil marathon that one year.
@SoaringEagle90 Yeah! what happened to good cartoon stations! Now a days most of the cartoons don't convey a moral or even a interesting story. Just bad art direction and annoying characters.
Omg I remember when I was a little girl coming home after school and watching sailor moon tenchi and outlaw star damn time flys by don't u ever wish u could just go back
My only regret is that my kids won't grow up with Toonami. It makes me sad. I am so blessed for being able to grow up with it. I feel so sorry for everybody before and everybody after me. Everyone deserves that childhood. If everyone had it, the world would be a much better place.
ill never forget getting home around 4:00 after school and sit through the justice leauge so i wouldnt miss a second of toonami. i remember having the weekend off and wake up at 11:40 so i could watch the weekend viewing, staying up late was a given just to watch how the anime was meant to be seen. Ill never forget the first time i actually seen blood in a anime was the namic saga on dbz. i was in shock and aww. i miss those days man.
This brings back so many good memories. I don't know why I just remembered about this commercial when I just woke up it just came to me out of nowhere. I love the beat background too!
dang homie u brought back gud childhood memories 2nd grade to i say bout through middle school i remember coming home from school rushing homework waiting for toonami at 4-7. They'll never able to out do toonami
@bullet5760 its back :P its just on website call toonami aftermathcom it got all the shows 24/7all the old shows ALSO! the best part its free >:D no more cable for me ^^
Those were the days...I feel bad for the kids who have to watch... "The CN".
The kids are being deprived on some totally awesomeness and are forced to watch... "It's Adventure time!" or whatever the hell the show is called. Cartoon Network died the moment Toonami was removed.
omg i remember this commercial when i was lik 7 lol omg it was so fucking inspirational to me. "a boy has the right to dream" great words. good times and yea this made my childhood great. cominig home from school rush my hw and dbz lol gewd times
These shows, I watched after school, staring with DBZ and Gundam Wing, when I was in 5th grade. I watched till highschool ended in 07. The characters, the good guys, I learned alot about honor and courage from them. I can honestly say I fear nothing except Failure, because of stories like these that inspire me. I see alot of fear from the younger people I know. They are unfortunate.
Those who watched these shows are easy to see today. They're the ones who are respectful to those around them, arent overly loud, and remind me of myself. I pity the younger people I see and work with. I can see the lack of honor in them, and it makes me sad for the future.
Technology's ascending well. It's better than tape recording those TV shows & waiting till they come on again on those stupid TV guide channels. The greatest thing about technology is that people hold onto things, & when they hold onto things, they share it with other people on the internet so they can have that same memory too, such as this video. Things will be gone from places, but they will never go away & be forgotten. They'll always be out there, either in our memories or on the internet.
I can say that things were definitely better back then when growing up. Good cartoons, family gatherings, Etc. But I admit that it's a beautiful thing living today. Even when the economy is so bad, I'm actually lucky that I'm not born during the 60s & 70s either because it was far more worse than this. We're lucky to be born at the right time where we can still remember how the 20th century was, and how better the 21st century is.
@DatEnigmatic You have no idea what the '60s were like. You have no idea that it was actually further ahead than things are now, that, thanks to all the conservative crap culture has regressed. You're drinking the revisionist Kool-Aid, and you think you know something. You were probably born after Reagan, so you have no clue of the poisoning he and his cronies did to this society. Stick to thing you know something about.
@hektor6766 Even though the economy is bad & the government does crooked stuff, I wouldn't say that the economy has "regressed". I could say that many people are becoming more smarter about their health because many were not educated on what they've consumed in their bodies many years ago, so that was a major improvement.
@hektor6766 What about how far minorities had to come? Most minorities couldn't go to a proper school, or get groceries to feed their families without being segregated & served poor nutrition. I may not be born in the 60s, but I'm grateful that I didn't go through what my race has been through because maybe I wouldn't be well today. Maybe I would of spread hate to my children & tell them not to date this or that race because of what they did.
@hektor6766 It's funny how you said "You're drinking the revisionist Kool-Aid, and you think you know something." But I wonder are you even more knowledgeable of what substances you're putting into your own body, because I'm aware of what I'm putting in my body & if it has pros or cons. But I don't drink Kool-Aid. It's a waste of money. I drink filtered water from my fridge because I don't trust lots of liquid consumptions, not even bottled waters.
@DatEnigmatic You don't know the difference between culture and economy (though the decade was prosperous, with much more job security than there is now). You don't know about Brown v Board of Ed, Martin Luther King, Carl Stokes, Freedom Riders, etc. You don't think there are still racists out there, with more access to microphones than ever. You don't know that "drinking the Kool-Aid" is an expression for believing the propaganda ha someone else feeds you without finding out for yourself.
@DatEnigmatic "more smarter" fails at 4th grade grammar. And the reference to "substances" shows you believe the lies you've been told that everything was drug culture. Also, as for race, one of my teachers was the brother of Angela Davis, and he was much more intelligent, and cooler, than you'll ever be. Don't blame your race for your own ignorance.
1:20 - to THIS DAY I always say "I'm not running" with gene in sync whenever I watched the ad back in the day and now in this same video.

Back in the day... Cartoon Network really DID know how to do cartoons, especially anime. Sucks that now the only way to find a good anime series is to stay up until like 2 AM on a Sunday Morning to watch FMA, or Ghost In The Shell. And they used to have some of the most badass gimmicks, like the New Years Evil marathon that one year.

@SoaringEagle90 Yeah! what happened to good cartoon stations! Now a days most of the cartoons don't convey a moral or even a interesting story. Just bad art direction and annoying characters.

My only regret is that my kids won't grow up with Toonami. It makes me sad. I am so blessed for being able to grow up with it. I feel so sorry for everybody before and everybody after me. Everyone deserves that childhood. If everyone had it, the world would be a much better place.

ill never forget getting home around 4:00 after school and sit through the justice leauge so i wouldnt miss a second of toonami. i remember having the weekend off and wake up at 11:40 so i could watch the weekend viewing, staying up late was a given just to watch how the anime was meant to be seen. Ill never forget the first time i actually seen blood in a anime was the namic saga on dbz. i was in shock and aww. i miss those days man.

The kids are being deprived on some totally awesomeness and are forced to watch... "It's Adventure time!" or whatever the hell the show is called. Cartoon Network died the moment Toonami was removed.

Cdc321 1 year ago
These shows, I watched after school, staring with DBZ and Gundam Wing, when I was in 5th grade. I watched till highschool ended in 07. The characters, the good guys, I learned alot about honor and courage from them. I can honestly say I fear nothing except Failure, because of stories like these that inspire me. I see alot of fear from the younger people I know. They are unfortunate.
XIIIJerry 1 year ago
Those who watched these shows are easy to see today. They're the ones who are respectful to those around them, arent overly loud, and remind me of myself. I pity the younger people I see and work with. I can see the lack of honor in them, and it makes me sad for the future.

Great cartoons and great words of wisdom, Toonami was the best. It still is the best, I've never stopped watching the promos on youtube.

Technology's ascending well. It's better than tape recording those TV shows & waiting till they come on again on those stupid TV guide channels. The greatest thing about technology is that people hold onto things, & when they hold onto things, they share it with other people on the internet so they can have that same memory too, such as this video. Things will be gone from places, but they will never go away & be forgotten. They'll always be out there, either in our memories or on the internet.

I can say that things were definitely better back then when growing up. Good cartoons, family gatherings, Etc. But I admit that it's a beautiful thing living today. Even when the economy is so bad, I'm actually lucky that I'm not born during the 60s & 70s either because it was far more worse than this. We're lucky to be born at the right time where we can still remember how the 20th century was, and how better the 21st century is.
DatEnigmatic 1 year ago
@DatEnigmatic You have no idea what the '60s were like. You have no idea that it was actually further ahead than things are now, that, thanks to all the conservative crap culture has regressed. You're drinking the revisionist Kool-Aid, and you think you know something. You were probably born after Reagan, so you have no clue of the poisoning he and his cronies did to this society. Stick to thing you know something about.
hektor6766 10 months ago
@hektor6766 Even though the economy is bad & the government does crooked stuff, I wouldn't say that the economy has "regressed". I could say that many people are becoming more smarter about their health because many were not educated on what they've consumed in their bodies many years ago, so that was a major improvement.
DatEnigmatic 10 months ago
@hektor6766 What about how far minorities had to come? Most minorities couldn't go to a proper school, or get groceries to feed their families without being segregated & served poor nutrition. I may not be born in the 60s, but I'm grateful that I didn't go through what my race has been through because maybe I wouldn't be well today. Maybe I would of spread hate to my children & tell them not to date this or that race because of what they did.
DatEnigmatic 10 months ago
@hektor6766 It's funny how you said "You're drinking the revisionist Kool-Aid, and you think you know something." But I wonder are you even more knowledgeable of what substances you're putting into your own body, because I'm aware of what I'm putting in my body & if it has pros or cons. But I don't drink Kool-Aid. It's a waste of money. I drink filtered water from my fridge because I don't trust lots of liquid consumptions, not even bottled waters.
DatEnigmatic 10 months ago
@DatEnigmatic You don't know the difference between culture and economy (though the decade was prosperous, with much more job security than there is now). You don't know about Brown v Board of Ed, Martin Luther King, Carl Stokes, Freedom Riders, etc. You don't think there are still racists out there, with more access to microphones than ever. You don't know that "drinking the Kool-Aid" is an expression for believing the propaganda ha someone else feeds you without finding out for yourself.
hektor6766 10 months ago
@DatEnigmatic "more smarter" fails at 4th grade grammar. And the reference to "substances" shows you believe the lies you've been told that everything was drug culture. Also, as for race, one of my teachers was the brother of Angela Davis, and he was much more intelligent, and cooler, than you'll ever be. Don't blame your race for your own ignorance.
