TOM's Farewell: the End of Toonami

Transcript of TOM's speech:

Well, this is the end, beautiful friends. After more than 11 years, this is Toonami's final broadcast. It's been a lot of fun, and we'd like to thank each and every one of you who made this journey with us. Toonami wouldn't have been anything without you. Hopefully we've left you with some good memories. So, until we meet again, Stay Gold............ Bang.

R.I.P Toonami: 1997-2008


UPDATE: On 4/1/2012, Toonami returned for one night, taking over for Adult Swim. Steve Blum returned to voice the role of TOM, doing new DVD promos and a review of Mass Effect 3 (which coincidentally he does voicework in)

They aired Bleach, DBZ, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, Big O, Yu Yu Hakusho, Blue Sub No. 06, Trigun, the original B&W Astro Boy, and Gigantor.

On May 26, 2012, Toonami returned to the airwaves, replacing Adult Swim's Saturday Anime Block. Go and tune in every late Saturday night as that's the only way to keep new Toonami up and running into the future. The better the ratings, the better shows they can acquire.

Welcome back, Toonami.

I always knew that TOM wouldn't be leaving us for long, guess that's my reward for being a Toonami Faithful.

Woah, a religion with an actual proven miracle!

Is Tom still doing Toonami?

So glad it's back man! Toonami for LIFE!

It's a shame that the Toonami UK and Ireland got rid of TOM and SARA for blue, red and black patterns for promos and bumbers and finally, light blue with white text and giggling blob-monster-like mascots. That was after when CNX got rebranded as Toonami. The channel has become part of CN Too to form a 24 hour channel, mainly influenced by the oroginal Cartoon Network's format and retaining less than half of Toonami's format.
