Is it me, or am I the only one who really misses Toonami?
I'm 23 years old, and growing up through middle school left me in the right era to watch some really good cartoons, including some Japanese animated ones that were imported and dubbed to English to be put onto Toonami.
It first started with my friends back in school, who absolutely loved
Dragonball Z, I watched the shit out of that show, I didn't quite like it that much but that cartoon sure could blow my mind. Think about it, we were growing up with Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold, then HOLYFUCKINSHIT...DBZ came along. Now I watched this show for a long time, but then Dragonball came out and I really loved that little show. It was less epic than DBZ, but the original is something really special.
Gundam Wing.... holy shiiiiiit, I loved that show, and I still love it. I don't even want to know how much I've spent on Gundam model kits over the past few years, and I am currently trying to assemble and airbrush some brand new ones. This show is still one of my favourites, and it's really something that I need to purchase on DVD so that I can experience it once again. There are very few things in this world that are beautiful... but giant robots fighting is one of them.
What a gay show, but I loved it. I know you guys did too, so don't even try to lie.
TOM? Fuck yes. Who could forget TOM? Remember those epic shorts that occurred between shows about the ship getting invaded? I remember hanging out with my friends at hope watching these and getting so excited over these. To us, TOM wasn't only a host, he was something we actually cared about, he is what turned Toonami into an event instead of just a TV Show block.
So who else misses this epic TV block? It's hard to believe that it is gone and even hard to believe that it was around for 11 years.
