| Seriously the CN executives are a bunch of morons. First taking it off from weekdays then canceling good shows for no reason. Then after all that making it only 2 hours long and running Naruto for 1 of those hours. They seriously wonder why they got bad ratings? It doesn't matter anymore. All TV is pretty much going to hell since morons run rampant throughout most networks. |

| Uggggghhh don't even get me started on Toonami... >.< Toonami was...awesome... -sigh- I still remember those good old days... Well, I'm glad they're finally ending it because Toonami has become worse...especially with Tom 4....yeah, it's better they ended it. But Toonami was such a big part of my childhood...as it was for other people... Bye bye Toonami... |
| It's still going on? It disappeared without a trace a while ago for me. It's sad to see it go then, I did enjoy watching what it had to offer. |

| I'm sad to see it go, I hate admitting it, but it was going downhill. Naruto was the only good thing left and they dulled the esries down to fit toonami standards .... bleh. But the furthest I've seen in the CN lineup for Naruto is Oct 11 - one of the movies, The Legend of the Stone of Gelel and then Oct 18 is episode 201. I really hope that AS picks up and starts airing Shippuden, leave it uncut ... or at least not as edited as it would have been on toonami |

D: That's why I go to sleep after Bleach ends at 11:30 P.M. and wake up at 5:55 A.M, 5 minutes before Code Geass airs. |
| I haven't watched Toonami in years but it's still a bit sad to hear. |
| POR QUE?! lol TOONAMI IS THE REASON I LUV ANIME AND GOT INTO ANIME! I can still remember watching: Tenchi Muyo Dragon Ball and DBZ Rurouni Kenshin Zoids: Chaotic Century Gundam Yu Yu Hakusho and Hamtaro! gosh, i'm gonna miss the old Tom. |

| What isn't red? What isn't blue? |
| Oh, wow. That sucks. Like alot of people, Toonami is what got me into anime. What will happen to the new geneartion!? lol. Ah, yes, the good old days. Watching DBZ, Kenshin, Hakasho, Zoids and Gundam after school. And (lol) Hamtaro too. I remember when they kept on changing Tom's appearence. |
| toonami was part of my child hood and its gone, a little depressing but i learned to live without out it after it moved to Saturdays instead of weekdays. |

| They are blaming Japanese animation companies and Sci-fi for catering to anime fans instead of general viewers. .... .... .... ...well damn CN. At least accept some blame here. The network KILLED Toonami, not just Sci-fi or modern Anime. I'm pretty sure "smart" lineups at hours people are actually awake could have helped (the last one is aimed at Adult Swim). This reminds me of how DBZ bombed when it originally aired in the US, due to being aired at 5 AM. Then CN picked it up, in which I believe was the first official "Toonami" lineup, and it was a hit. If anything, my example proves that shows don't kill networks... networks kill shows. |

Agreed completely, airing shows at insane hours, or having just a horrible line-up will ruin the number of viewers. |
| It makes you wounder what are they thinking when they do this stuff. |

| well toonami has served CN very well. for 11 years they had a very good run, and they probably got a lot of people introduced to the Anime genre. there at the end though, they had some crap running. the latest trend though is that most shows and block of shows do not last for very long. American viewers are very picky and their attention span is about 2 seconds. these days its not surprising for a new show to go off the air within 3 years time. any show that lasts 5-10 years usually is outstanding and dies near the 10 year mark. |

Toonami wasn't a show, it was a block. And it failing is solely Cartoon Network's fault. I'd like to say I was sad when they killed Toonami, but I totally wasn't. Don't get me wrong--I loved Toonami. And I was definitely pretty depressed over its real death--back in April 2004, when they moved it to the weekends. That was the true killer of Toonami. Yeah, it went another four years, but it was pretty much limping. If it hadn't been for the occasional movie gimmick (airing Marvel's DTVs, Month of Miyazaki) and the powerhouse that is Naruto, Toonami wouldn't have even made it to that tenth anniversary. Come on. This is a block that gained its fans primarily from shonen series. (Or mecha series.) Y'know, those series that run 100+ episodes? (Or for mecha, 40-50 episodes.) And you're going to switch to a WEEKLY format? Ugh. And to move it to late night on Saturdays when no one's home and essentially make it "Adult Swim Jr."...that was beyond stupid. The entire thing was insulting. They moved it to Saturdays because the target audience had changed (newsflash--they grew up and still liked the shows, idiots), and then they go on to air such "adult shows" as Pokemon, Duel Masters, and "4Kids Presents One Piece". GTF outta here. There's nothing they aired on Saturdays that couldn't have been aired on weekdays after school and gotten much higher ratings. The fact that with the tenth anniversary, all we got were a couple shorts and TOM v4.whogivesashit, should've been the sign to everyone that things were over. Ten years in the game and no new original series? No new anime? Hell, not even a return to weekdays? WTF. I remember even the Toonami fansite gave in the towel at that point, and they were totally right to. Yeah. I was sad about Toonami dying. But Toonami died for me 4 years ago. This was just the passing of some shell that resembled it. |

Then they just canceled all the good shows just because they are fucking idiots. |
| aww =( Im kind of sad that toonami is gone...but i never watched it anymore since it kind of started to suck =x |
     |
| I was planning on watching shippuden (?) on that network. Guess it's to Hulu for me. |
 |
| Remember when Toonami had time for fanart and video game reviews? I actually bought some video games because of Tom. xD ... I made myself sad again. Tom was an awesome dude. :( |
