Toonami is literally the longest lasting block in CN history, I love everything about it and watch it to this day, its all so chill

The crazy thing about that closing speech TOM 4 gave was that the Toonami staff made it all without CN's persmission. I'm honestly grateful they did- it was much better than letting it get cut off without any explanation and in doing so, they saved it from falling entirely into obscurity. Other than that little tidbit, gotta say this was fun to watch! It missed a few things, but this way it's like a cliffnotes version and gave the basic details about it. Personally, I've been watching since...2005 or 2006... I was definitely way too young to be watching stuff like Naruto but hey, I had fun. And I'm still watching Toonami to this day.

I watched a bit of Toonami when I was a toddler; I remembered ReBoot, Sailor Moon, DBZ, Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and Beast Wars. I wasn't old enough to appreciate and understand those shows, but by 2014, I became hooked on Toonami. That was when Vortexx on the CW ended its broadcast, and I had to find a different block to get my weekend animation fix.

Toonami on AS rocks me to sleep on Saturday nights

Actually, the April Fools day prank used normal TOM 3, not TOM 3.5. TOM 3.5 wasn’t introduced until the block was properly revived.

Toonami is dad-core now? God that makes me feel old. I was there as a kid when Cartoon Network first started airing and same with Toonami.

Kind of surprised you didn't mention who Tom's voice actor was. From all iterations starting with the 2000s, Tom was voiced by Steve Blum, the same guy who did Spike Speigel voice in the English dub of Cowboy Bebop. Its fitting how when the block shut down in 2008 hen he flies off into the distance and says "Bang!" the same word Spike said at the end of the anime.

Celebrating 25 Years of Toonami Toonami Is All New Saturdays from 12am-4am on [adult swim]

Adult swim is a life saver for saving toonami

Toonami is literally longest lasting Cartoon Network block I used to think that was Adult Swim or boomerang

Small corrections the Weekday Toonami and moved to Saturdays only wasn’t really cancelled for being too violent. It was cancelled from airing Weekdays because most of Toonami’s audience was now reaching their Teens like myself and so it was replaced with a similar block called Miguzi which was to help appeal to younger viewers. TOM 4 was also an example of Cartoon Network trying to appeal to younger viewers. When Toonami was moved to Saturdays only, it replaced another Action Block that was called Saturday Video Entertainment System or as most people call it SVES or just calling it Saturday where it was basically like Toonami with many shows that aired on Toonami or at least could have aired on Toonami but it ran from 7PM to 2AM. However the style of SVES was more like a retro videogame rather than broadcasting from a spaceship like Toonami or broadcasting underwater like Miguzi. SVES only lasted for about a year until Toonami’s move to Saturday at 7PM to 11PM with Adult Swim Action coming on after it.

When you said your dad watched it...I suddenly felt extremely old. I was 15 when Toonami became a thing.

Only time I watched toonami was when I watched adult swim because I couldn’t sleep.

Brings back memories of dbz on toonami

Toonami was a part of my childhood. Model fighter Ggundom, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z,Sailor Moon etc. I also watched toonami on adult swim and got into My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, One Piece, Naruto Shippuden, etc.

Watched this with headphones on, I thought my mom had the music playing loud the whole time!!!😅

I love toonami march 17th _ September 20th 2012 present

Me Dora you missed one part of the TIE’s. I’ll fill in what you missed. I don’t remember the date but around 2018 a tie event called countdown takes place not just in the normal Toonami Tom universe, but in an alternate reality. It featured the two tom’s as they try to save the vindication. What found interesting about the Tie’s is that the ships can air the shows without Tom and Sarah. I wonder how though. Can’t wait for the miguzi vid.

Nice

I want to know what happened to moltar after he was fired from being toonami’s mascot.

Toonami was a 24 hour channel in Asia.

You forgot a TIE, Countdown which takes place between The Intruder III and The Forge.

When can we finally see ALL the Macross titles on Toonami? Including OVAs and movies connected to the franchise? Let the entire world know this exists!!!

I be watching dbz Kai on toonami

Toonami got me into both Dragonball and Transformers (Z and Armada respectively). I will always be thankful for it! :)

9:49 that is a very long title

Can you do cbeebies pop and tiny pop? Thanks if you do peace out

Can you do a history on discovery kids the Latin American channel for kids

Toonami aired Powerpuff Girls

I remember the Original Toonami.I kinda dug it.

I KIN TOM AND SARA SO HARD ITS CONCERNING

Do miguzi

depsite i didn't grew up with toonami i always wish toonami was back on cartoon network and not adult swim mainly because when toonami returned on adult swim i feel like it was ruined and lost it charm and toonami is about kids anime and some western action cartoons hell i always prefered kids anime and some magical girl anime (depsite some magical girl anime like madoka are not for kids) than shounen (depsite i love some shounen like naruto one piece or dragon ball and i still think shounen is better than seinen and josei) and i would also like to both muguzi and toonami returned to cartoon network along with adult swim action which was like toonami on adult swim before that happened. and one last it's that while you make a miguzi story video amke on too on adult swim action

NO! ADULT SWIM IS!

(if he does tickleU or cartoonito, even adult swim, that would be ungodly

I never seen Toonami because I was born in the 2010s. And I'm a kid so I can't watch the new adultish block. But I can tell I would've (maybe) liked it. ??/10
