Toonami - DBZ Longest Running Promo (1080p HD)

[FlamingAlchemist7]

Kids these days, all they have is Justin Bieber and a shit ton of laugh track sitcoms, they will never know how fucking hype T.V. is supposed to make you

[GreyMatter00Duh]

God, that scene with Gohan getting blasted to the face by Buu always makes me feel chills. I honestly thought Gohan was dead, and it made me pretty upset.

[MrBoondock1]

dude NOSTALGIC!...now CN is so whats the word....GAY!

[SilverBlade9x]

Toonami had the best promo's. Definitely brought out the best of all the shows

[DoWorkSucka]

My Childhood, i miss it....

[AustinCE]

Got chills of nostalgia.

[shinomorikyo]

I watched dragon ball and dragon ball z before they even got it on toonami... I remember when it was on fox.

[blahlbinoa]

It was because of Toonami that i got hooked on DBZ, i loved that show and Yu Yu Hakusho. Hell i watched it even if it was a re-run.

[shinomorikyo]

@blahlbinoa I watched yu yu hakusho when it was on adult swim. then they switched it to toonami...

[iheartprostitutes]

I get the craziest chills when Vegeta screams "Pride"

[MrParlo90]

DB, the only anime I've ever loved watching in English

[JamBugz7]

@MrParlo90 same here bro!

[DSkehan2004]

goku and vegeta are badasses!

[kingkiba29]

@Sephirothpie lol yea

[kingkiba29]

vegeta blowing himself up to save the world actually made me tear up

[Sephirothpie]

@kingkiba29 Me too

[Santoryu241]

I wish they would bring toonami back. all the cool shows that you would wait to watch all day and they would never get old, I would watch the crap out of toonami. DBZ , Gundam, Zoids. toonami made me the anime fan i am today. thank you T.O.M

[BioWolfProduuctions]

@Santoryu241 The current C.E.O. of CN wanted to turn it into a live action thing. I think once he goes the board will bring back cartoons, Toonami, all that stuff. I think, not know.

Lets all hope though.

[Santoryu241]

@BioWolfProduuctions yeah would that be awesome

[TheJeremiah948]

God I miss those times when I would get home from school and relax and watch Toonami, now they've replaced it with retarded stuff. :(

[heyheysteven]

it was the longest running season on toonami for this reason:

they LOVED to restart the show after practically every season!

(order of dbz seasons shown on toonami)

season 1, season 1, season 1, season 1, season 2, season 1, season 1, season 2, season 1, season 2, season 3, season 1, season 2, season 3, season 1, season 2, season 3, season 4, season 1, season 1, season 2, season 3, season 1, season 1, season 2, 3,4,5,1,1,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,3,4,1,­1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,­6.... etc.

[SlimD716V2]

@heyheysteven Because people like me and many others would watch it no matter how many times they restarted it.

[heyheysteven]

@SlimD716V2 oh believe me i did too! :) but how many times i watched dbz up to the episode where goku fights burter and jeice from the ginyu force and have the same cliffhanger preview of the next episode and then the next day i would get home from elementary school and it would be the beginning. all. over. again. hahah

[valetudokid]

@heyheysteven however - it STILL got enough ratings for them to keep it on. It doesnt matter that they kept repeating the season - pepole KEPT watching and THATS why it was the longest running series... sheesh.

they never said it had the most seasons man.. they said the longest running(meaning it was profitable for them to keep running/repeating it)

[kickbuckets]

@heyheysteven LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

[Remingt0nn]

@heyheysteven What else can we say...DRAGON BALL Z week nights at 530..we keep bringin.....oh shit nvm

[AJVersatility19]

@heyheysteven LMAO right you are.

[Aburke2010]

@heyheysteven plus when I was a kid i would miss episodes due to after school activities so with out those replays I would've seen only half the episodes

[ftwalbertor88]

I'm literally sitting here tearing up because I miss the days when toonami was running and we fans always looked forward to DBZ, and the rest of the good animes that were running. Remember YuYuHakushou? Good days man, good days =' (

[shaktoobe]

this promo made vegeta look even more epic than he already is...didnt know that was even possible!!!

[Shqiptari011]

DBZ made Toonami

[MrInuhanyou123]

@Shqiptari011 toonami made DBZ actually. To be more precise, it made it a runaway success in America. Infact, toonami with its lineup essentially was the bedrock for today's anime fandom in the US.

[SpiritDetectiveTV]

Hey slim i wanted to know where do you get these promos? id love to have them on my ipod touch to relive the good old days lmao

[SlimD716V2]

@SpiritDetectiveTV Most of the original source files are from the Tonami Digiatal Arsenal website. Some are provided by others who recorded them on VHS. Then either metroidman or myself redo them using high quality clips.

[SpiritDetectiveTV]

@SlimD716V2  Alright Thanks

[KnightStorm1988]

Let's not kid ourselves, we ALL would have blasted Gohan like Majin Boo did after the whole Saiyaman thing.

[HughesJD1989]

We kept watching and you stopped bringing. :(

[shino475]

with gohan screaming like that how could you not watch the next episode

[bboygreatguy]

lmfao 0:58

[ns7557]

They basically just showed all the best bits from early in the Majin Buu Saga, yeah I'd watch too if I saw that promo!

[howlman1]

Toonami can be can be summed up in only two words "DA SHIT!"

[TheYungAK]

0:51"We'll keep bringing, if you keep watching." LOL LIES!!!!!!! =(

[monksters1]

AH Toonami DBZ,Yu Yu Hakusho,Ruroni Kenshin,Tenchi Muyo,Outlaw Star,Gungam Wing,G Gundam...man those were the days,school ends,walk home,flip on the TV,pretend to do your homework and instead watch Toonami...MAN I FEEL OLD LOL...I feel sorry for kids now a days cause they will never experience the magic of Toonami our these great shows like our generation did,am I right guys >XD

[yurf0]

@monksters1 our gen definitely was the right one. The current one is fucked with all the shitty shows they have.

[monksters1]

@yurf0 Yep I always tell my little cousins how unlucky they are,and holy crap I misspelled or lol

[GreatAether0]

@monksters1 Yeah, now they have all these garbage shows that just don't compare to what our generation had growing up. Sad.

[JesseStorm93]

@monksters1 t they get flapjack and regular show... man id kill myself if those were my choices as a kid

[insidecry01]

@monksters1 To right bro Toonami will never be forgotten ^_^

[insidecry01]

@monksters1 We had the absolute best cartoons growing up as kid's. You get your Toonami right after school, then your great one's after, leading right on into Adult Swim :) not to mention the ones you get for faking your sick just to stay home and watch reruns or you favorite toons right before Toonami. I actually stayed home a couple of times just for this reason lol ^_^ kid's are deprived these days of the real awesomeness of how toons used to be, now you just get a stupid ones.

[xEliteVegetax]

@monksters1 you just described a typical day for me xD

[TheLedSubmarine]

@monksters1 i am a part of your generation, 17 and proud of it. they say nostalgia is painful, useless, and not helpfull to the human pysche, but i would argue otherwise.Other than regular show, no modern cartoon network show can hold a candle to the johnny bravo-dexter's lab era, let alone the toonami era

[FlamingAlchemist7]

@monksters1 MEGAS

[nihilumphobic]

0:43 lol

[nihilumphobic]

lol :43

[Therant840]

I miss shows like rurouni kenshin and yu yu haskuro. Also Toonami .

[manicthunder]

R.I.P Toonami we all miss you :(

[dragonmerc0]

ahh the good ol days back when cartoons were good

[DarkshinastaReborn]

Vegeta just makes me wipe my tear... ^_^

[rumpul99]

time machine set to 2001- here i come

[FreakAlchemist]

i want to cry

[TheBlackKatana]

mmm...nostalgia boner.

[SaxSanchez33]

It says weeknights at 6 I remember when I was like 10 and I thought that I had to stay up late just to watch this show.

[AlexRE619]

If only kids these days got a chance to watch toonami

[KingOfHalla]

We kept watch TOM... And you let us down.

[DarkxBlood89]

@KingOfHalla Dont blame Tom. He always had our backs when we wanted good anime. Blame his Bosses for firing him.

[Robdoggierob]

I find this easy to masturbate to......wait what?

[50redraider]

I miss toonami

[MagmaStormGS]

The 5 dislikes are...: Guldo, Recoome, Jeice, Burter and Captain Ginyu, lol

[KoopaNinj]

One of the greatest shows to ever hit American TV. Legendary.

[CarliquinPR]

I Fucking LOVED the Buu saga, i dont care what anyone else says =D

[SwampLord9]

When I have kids, I'm letting them watch my DBZ VHS tapes when they come home from school and play with my DBZ action figures. Just so they can experience my childhood and see how much it rocked.

[patrick22014]

@SwampLord9 You´ll be a great father!

[RippinHoes]

I want to kick whoever decided to cancel Toonami's ass.

[MysticalKika101]

@RippinHoes Actually Toonami was dying slowly by the days.monthes, &/or years. The reason why it died( Stuart Synder cancelled Toonami) was because they were getting less views by each week so they cut down to the 4hr broadcast to i think a 2hr broadcast to you know wat i mean.... & also it was dying beacause of the soccer moms out there bitchin' about the violence & crap. So Stuart Synder just cancelled Toonami then.

[ybebo24]

A really feel bad for the kids that watch cn now cuz they will never get the chance to experience this like when we were kids

[mackzenne]

This was when DBZ was the best

[dvasquez1990]

I miss being a kid

[kobexxballer]

omg i remember running off from the yellow bus coming home to miss yuyu hakusho but still get to watch the best show dbz!!

[m3chtrippleseven]

Brings back memories T~T

[VictorVelos]

I just nostalgia'd all over my computer

[ShadowOfAuroraWave]

Tom... Fuck You.. Biggest Liar Of All Time.

[Class459]

@ShadowOfAuroraWave It's not Tom or Toonami's fault. Its them corporate stuff shirts at cartoon network who cancelled it. Find away to get in touch with them and trust me I'm just as pissed as you. Stay gold friend

[UltimateGamer600]

Toonami = childhood

[bigriz2]

i miss toonami. to be a kid again....... T_T

[JeffyBoy1792]

Dat Cartoon Network logo..

[Ingrownsage]

Oh god, I want to go back in time....right now. 

[MrLarryorr]

WHAT HAPPEND TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

[DarkStyro]

In my opinion, DBZ is the best anime ever! :)

[mrjj216]

Arguabaly? There is no argument

[74123AnimeWatcher]

Whats that? Detective Conan and One Piece is still going?  SON OF A ......!!!!!!

[kkingcombo12345]

@74123AnimeWatcher

i have to say. shows that go on that long are just too much for me. connan should of been a 5 season show

[Class459]

If you wanna take a look at cartoon network's current ratings, go to your bathroom lift your toilet seat and take a good look because CN been in the shitter for awhile now

[IBloodSweatTears]

0:50 - "We'll keep bringing it, if you keep watching."

Well... That turned out to be a lie... Which one of you noobs stopped watching it?

[Goshujinsama01]

0:26 RAPE FACE

[TheBlackKatana]

I'm still staying gold Tom...just like you said... :')

[ruzzzler]

@TheBlackKatana lol what did you do? go super sayin 0_o

[IBloodSweatTears]

@ruzzzler The point of his comment was simple.

When Toonami went off the air during it's final broadcast in 2008, Tom said, "Until we meet again, stay gold." Thus coining the phrase with every Toonami fan.

/watch?v=xoYnuyTUG5s&feature=r­elated - Toonami Farewell.

[ruzzzler]

@IBloodSweatTears lol no, i know, i was making a bad dbz pun, since i never heard anyone say that they where staying gold.

[IBloodSweatTears]

@ruzzzler xD I got ya. Ima start sayign that ramdomly to people. "Stay gold."

[shadowkolo]

i miss tom

[JBaddict20]

@shadowkolo and moltar

[shadowkolo]

@JBaddict20 yes and moltar

[Myzaru]

[phantomedge08]

[RemusRomulas]

@phantomedge08 its not toms fault ..its CN that shut him down -.-

[BigBagAnime]

ahh so many memories of watching dbz and its promos at 6 years old before 2005 :) RIP TOONAMI

[iWATCHITT]

Back before 2005, if you watched DBZ you were a BAMF. If you didn't you were a total nerd.

[JBaddict20]

@iWATCHITT i was born in 1999. so i was 6 when it was 2005. i started watching dragonball when i was 4. i liked watching anime when i was little. i watched it until the end of toonami. It feels so nostalgic when u watch this

[ConqueredSun]

@iWATCHITT You're not kidding. I would watch that show and then beat up all of the kids at my elementary school. The only way they could keep up with the type of ferocity I would bring would be to also watch that show.

[ThePikafan25]

@iWATCHITT

BAMF? What's that?

[iWATCHITT]

@ThePikafan25 Bad Ass Mother Fucker.

[ThePikafan25]

@iWATCHITT

FUCK YEAH. *Epic Thumbs up*

[TheLigitGamerrrrr]

@ThePikafan25 bad ass mutha' fucka'

[ThePikafan25]

@TheLigitGamerrrrr

Someone already explained it for me, but thanks anyway. ^_^;

[OmegaZeero]

[thakiidwonder]

damn..no homework got done when toonami was on

[KTHETHRIZZLE]

dear GOD BRING BACK TOONAMI!!!!!!

[DaisukeReborn]

You lied to us Tom you said you would keep bringing it if we kept watching it!

[kawaiiPASTA]

:'D

[MRbobvsboxy]

OWWW THE DAYS OF TOONAMI HOW I MISS YOU

[SteampunkCentral]

Anybody else stop watching TV and went straight to the internet after Dragon Ball Z ended on Toonami?

[manuboy9]

The worst thing Cartoon Network did...such great shows on there and TOM was awesome. I know like me many people watch shows to relive their childhood but we can't watch Toonami on TV anymore. How can we relive it now?! :'(

[cloudymonkeyboy]

that freaking music is epic

[TheAuthenticKitty]

So the other day, me and my friend Austin (age 18) were playing some MW3 on xbox live. Coincidentally we talked about how he bought all the Dragon Boxes but he never has time to watch them so he lets his 11 year old bro Logan watch them since DBZ is not on TV. The next day I hear Logan in the backround of Austin's mic telling all us guys in the party to raise our arms for Goku to help the Spirit Bomb kill Buu( I know we all did that too when I first saw that scene Some kids are still raised ok.

[Yamasachihiko]

@TheAuthenticKitty I got a smile out of that. If I had heard that over a headset I would have involuntarily raised my palms to the sky.^-^

[GaMeR69]

im sry but Gohan should of turn to dust taking a blast like that into the face.

[rudylexi8]

NeoTooami comes out in 2012 WOOT WOOT!

[KennyMCMLXXXVII]

If I had to choose between Toonami and a hot girl I would choose Toonami.

[KennyMCMLXXXVII]

Beautiful.

[AngelsFury69]

the sad thing is kids these days actually like these dumb ass cartoons they have going, not just CN but networks like Nickelodeon and Disney. thats what keeps that shit going...

[BioWolfProduuctions]

[hiei8560]

[bestdrummerever1234]

[TheMIABIG3]

[lunytoon2000]

The fcuking best... Thank you Toonami for making my childhood magical and always believe one day I could learn how to fly like in DBZ.

[frozenray0079]

Gundam Wing and Dragonball Z. Every Toonami show was a classic but those two are really the only ones I ever needed :)

[lostboy72809]

@fucky0uish dats wuts up. It'll happen regardless even if we don't but it would be sumthing I'd like to see in my life time.

[GoodBoy1196]

0:35 I don't give a fuck what anyone says. "If there's one thing a Sayian always keeps, it's his PRIDE!!!!!!!" The way Vegeta says it brings me determination.

[arod1391]

@Saleseman so true so true

[SS5GAMERZX]

this was not kai i loved this

[Salesman]

You know, as much shit as DBZ gets these days from lots of people within the anime community, it was still THE show everyone watched and copied to bring in fans. As many faults as it has, it is still one of the most influential shows that has ever been produced. God bless DBZ.
