Ffactts ! 🔥

That's understandable. There are some really great shows that come on, but there's also quite a few that are complete duds. It sounds like you left during the time there were a lot of long-running shounen. And while that might of been great for views on Toonami it also doesn't leave a lot of room for new shows to be added.

I was excited to see Toonami came back on television when it returned in May 26, 2012 during my early adulthood years. That my childhood program block returned to Cartoon Network...well it debuted on Adult Swim.

Come back, then! You're missing out! We got Primal here and Lupin the 3rd. Naruto is here along with a full hour of One Piece!!

Nice! Documentary type? Or an iceberg perhaps?

@@greenlineessays its an Iceberg. Pretty much got the whole script done and it should be done in about 2 weeks

That's nice of you to say! Thanks! We'll just have to wait and see.😊

It was pretty good in those days wasn't it!

Yes! Although, I feel as if the first half of Toonami is remembered far more than it second half. But it will be remembered for years to come. I will always be remembered by the Toonami faithful.

@@greenlineessays yeah but we appreciate things like Toonami in this world because that's temporary because when it's at its best and brightest and all the original people cast and crew are there that's temporary because above all we know that we're temporary.

It did years ago.

So, it partly comes down to Sony. Toonami really isn't able to obtain that many good shows as they once did. Although, I don't know if you're talking about the most recent years or if you're talking about 2012 onward. Toonami back in 2011 and 2012 was really good in my opinion. And it's only gotten truly bland and boring over the past few years. The Gilded Age, even though I have some problems with it, was overall really good as far as ratings are concerned. So I don't think Toonami started to tank until 2019. We've seen an overall dip in quality even after COVID. Because once it was over Netflix and Sony kinda screwed over adult swim and Toonami. What Toonami could do is air shows that Sony ( Crunchyroll/Funimation) doesn't care about. Shows that people haven't seen or forgot about. Anime series that are in their catalog that are just collecting dust. OR... What they could do to get people to start watching again is play on their nostalgia! Put on the old shows that they use to. Air Dragon Ball Z again, air Sailor Moon with the Viz Dub, play Batman again! Play Gundam Wing again! get people hooked on their nostalgia. That's what I'm doing anyways. After I made these videos I ended up watching sailor moon with the old DIC Dub, because I had just purchased some of the DVDs. But then I thought to myself that I should just watch the old lineup. And so I started from there. Right now I finished the old Sailor Moon and have worked my way towards the Viz Dub. I've also gone through Saiyan, Namek, and Ginyu Sagas of DBZ. I also finished Ronin warriors. And finally made it halfway through Gundam Wing! I plan on making my way through the different eras until I reach the timeline of Toonami in 2008 and see how I feel! 😁

@@greenlineessays We might see a 4K Era of Toonami.

Really? Do you mean the total immersion events? Because I thought I covered most of them. Or do you mean Events outside Toonami? Like advertisements or Toonami preflight?

@@greenlineessays I was referring to the April Fools 2012 event and the subsequent relaunch of Toonami. You spoke briefly about the April Fools show in both videos, but you just glossed over the actual events that lead to the relaunch, stating in just a few seconds that 'fans took to the internet.' You didn't mention that it was a hashtag campaign launched by Adult Swim's own twitter page, nor the official responses to that campaign ('We heard you.' 'Toonami's back, bitches.')

@@legionaireb So it was briefly brought up. At the start of the video I brought up how social media was crucial in bringing Toonami back. The specifics however are glazed over. I assume that's what you mean. This is partly on me and partly on my editor. At 1:08 you can see Steve Blum announcing that Toonami is back. You can hear it in Richie Branson's rap (link In the description)It plays towards the end of the intro "Toonami's back bitches! Wait, did you say Toonami's back bitches? That's the official hashtag If you missed it. To celebrate Tom's return to television."

Me too! Here's hoping it sticks around!

@@greenlineessays We all do; Shuppiden is set to end its run in 2024 and Uzamaki got delayed.

No of course not, it was just a joke! IGPX is pretty good. I just meant that when Attack on Titan premiered, people were more excited about that than IGPX at the time.

I did not like the ending. It was dumb.

@@colleen4ever Your opinion.
