| :o So Toonami finally stops airing huh. Thats a little saddening. |
     |
| now that I get a chance to see their entire line-up, I notice that they got alot of crap up there *shuts eyes and clings tightly to memories of anime he enjoyed 'DBZ, Kenshin, Star... Big ...O |-)* |
 |
I'm still trying to forget the time Toonami aired two censored-down-to-G-rated episodes of Evangelion and expunged poor Pen Pen.  |
  |
| Kinda gave up on Toonami long ago. Naruto was semi-edited so it wasn't like 4kids or anything. Seems like Adult Swim is screwed up too. Look at the schedule. They seem to place new CG and Mori way separate from Bleach and Shin. =/ |

| Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT are missing from the list. Don't care either way tho', we ain't got Toonami and I'm happy we don't. :) |

|
| That's too bad. I always loved Toonami. |
| Hello! |
| wow i feel like its been on forever....honestly though, i wasnt a huge fan of the majority of the programs they aired anyway. for people in the US that will miss it, there is always Ani-mondays on the SciFi channel |
     |
| What's going to happen to Naruto now? Episodes 200-220 still need to be english dubbed and crap, and then there's Shippuuden! I guess I'll have to wait until the episodes come to DVD, or when Toonami Jetstream finally catches up to them, or when Toonami gets revived or when another channel picks them up T_T. |

| Meh. This doesn't affect me at all. |
 |
| Here in Latin America has been a while... I think 2 years or so, since the block Toonami was cancelled too. I didn't think in USA could happen the same.. :/ sad, now when I want to watch anime on TV, I watch Animax lolz! |
| Wah thats soo sad =( but the thing is that Toonami finished ages ago in the UK so where did it stop now? |
     |
| Toonami holds some great memories for me, being what primarily got me into anime with the likes of DBZ, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, and Kenshin. I haven't watched it in a long time, but it's still sad to hear. |
∞      ∞ |
| Gawd, this is so depressing.. & Wasn't Zoids on Toonami & IGPX? Why wasn't that added to the listy? T_T Damn, good times with Toonami. |
| It's a little sad to see Toonami gone, but they haven't had anything good on for years so I'm okay with it. |
 |
| This is kinda sad. I use to watch DBZ and Sailor Moon on there. And Reboot too, but that isn't an anime. |
| I live in the great white North, so we don't have toonami. However, it's sad to hear because that means that general society who aren't into anime, will not have the chance to watch anime series (whether the series on the program are great or not). I mean, how many people will actually go on the internet and look for anime when they have no idea what it is? So I guess what I'm trying to say is that people will become less aware of anime if it wasn't on their favourite channel, or on TV in general. |

| Ok heres a question. If Toonami was showing some of the old school anime with Naruto would that have changed the outcome? |
 |
| It may not actually affect me, but I am sad to see it go. Aside from Pokemon on WB and Digimon on Fox, I found my roots in anime on Toonami. I remember watching Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball, Gundam, and Hamtaro on Toonami. A few years later I watched a few eps of .hack//SIGN and really enjoyed it. If it hadn't been for Toonami and a little bit of Adult Swim during middle school, I probably would have never gotten into anime seriously, nor would I know what anime even is, possibly. It's one of those things were the fact that it is there doesn't mean anything to you until maybe 10 or 20 years later, when you see it and feel nostalgic, but once you find out it won't continue, you feel like part of your past is going away. :/ Lol, sorry, nobody probably cares about my rant on Toonami. |
 ilu Mathes. thanks for awesome Beato sig. <3 ilu mah_marina. thanks for awesome Beato icon. <3 |
| RIP Tom T_____T I remeber when I used to watch DBZ and Sailor Moon when I was younger, man.. this brings back memories... Even though i'm not a MAJOR Naruto fan, I still watched it every saturday evening >_< Now I can't watch it anymore on TV T__T |
Music is from the soul~ ♥ |
| I stopped watching Toonami anyway :P |

| This is certainly disconcerting. It seriously makes me feel old. Even though Toonami was not what got me into anime it got a lot of people I know into it and was how I introduced my younger brother to the stuff. Also at least in my region it was what actually got most retailers to finally start carrying a decent stock of Anime. Though I have to say what they did to the program block is seriously stupid as well as what they did to Tom. Sha8 said: Ok heres a question.

Though if it ultimately would have changed the outcome it is seriously hard to say. |

|
| It is....I remember when I was like 6..before Tom became chuncky and buff when it got me into anime...Then I learned it was actually bad...never the less, it still got me into Anime...Cardcaptor and DBZ was the first two I saw in there.....Good times...good times.. |

While I loved Toonami, I couldn't watch it for the past 1/2 year because of how much it has changed from the better shows to the crap ones they showed now. |

PeanutSteak said: And a small piece of my childhood ends. Thats the way I feel =/ If it wasn't for toonami I wouldn't be here (on MAL) todayDx Because it got me into kenshin, and kenshin got me into the internet when it got caught in the turmoil between daytime television and nightime television and they didn't bother to announce the time change... |
 |
| ACK! I now just realized I'm getting old ó_o my childhood!!!!!! *dies* |
     |
| No more dubbed Naruto! Believe it!:D |
Kanashimi said: i know how you feel,i want to cry now.I watched the finale last night, and I was so heartbroken. That was basically my childhood. I remember I had to always run home from school (cause it'd already be on) to catch Sailor Moon at 3:30. I adore Toonami and I still do despite the fact it was sinking into a depression. It's sad to see it officially go. I don't really mind if I sound sappy for something that was sinking in popularity because it meant a lot to me as a kid. I was pretty positive it meant a lot when I was a pre-teen and up till I was fifteen too. It's the reason why I've liked Cartoon Network so much more then other cartoon channels. So yes, I am upset. i was in a toonami pannel at dragon con, and everyone had great memories to share. god this is like when the lone ranger died, but for our generation. |

| I remember old the Toonami... Yu Yu Hakusho, DBZ, Rave Master, Hamtaro, Zoids... I'm kinda sad to see it go even though these past few years were crappy. |

I viewed Naruto of the Dragonball Z of today. Commercials for merchandise, kids running around with shurikens, orange headbands, backpacks, and all that good stuff. I suppose though, when I was watching Dragonball Z, I never really took the initiative to get into the anime world. I just knew that the people in Japan got to see GT way before us. =P I also thought Code Geass and Death Note were creating some decent commotion ; I suppose I just drew this conclusion from my environment. If I was right, three shows making some decent headway, should have been enough to keep at least some momentum towards anime, but the way it's looking is that all anime will be gone sometime in 2009 from the network. It's a shame, because if it wasn't for Adult Swim, I wouldn't have joined the otaku community a few months ago. |

Believe it!:D naruto hasn't said that in the dub since episode 77, really Naruto's dub is lightyears ahead of what we got we DBZ, and Naruto get the Japanese op, and subtitles to the song, and sign subtitles. Naruto is the best Americanization of a "mainstream" show ever. And it brought in ratings, so that fact and Adult Swim saying anime fans will come back in December leads me to believe that Adult Swim will take over 10-11pm Saturdays and air Naruto Shippudenn in December. |

| i can't believe their getting rid of toonami, it had some of the best shows ever when it started, nut as the years went by they started to put not so good shows (except naruto, naruto is awesome), and even shortened the block from 4hrs to 2, what the hell???? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| I had to stop watching it after I started going out for sports in JR high, Though I think I remember nights when secretly stayed up late at night to catch the late run, at least I think it was that. but its still sad to see it go. |
