[EDIT May 16: Check this post. Adult Swim just announced Toonami is coming back full-time on May 26th!]
Happened to be flipping channels late last night and caught Cartoon Network's Adult Swim calling itself Toonami.
Toonami. That legendary programming block of cartoons and anime from childhood.
I sort of hope this is a permanent thing for Saturday nights and not just an April Fool's joke.

It was like a nostalgia grenade went off in my brain
Bang
Lots of those I haven't seen in ages, Dragonball Z I see every once in a while though, as I've always liked that one the best.
ReplyDeleteIf only this were possible here down under. :(
ReplyDeleteI was loving this. All they needed was Samurai Champloo to make my night complete.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, it was an April Fool's joke, and there are people crying. If I got Adult Swim, I would join them.
ReplyDeleteyep that would of really annoyed me
ReplyDeleteI remember Toonami, it was awesome. I bet this is an Aprils Fools Joke.
ReplyDeleteNO WAY! I loved Toonami...
ReplyDeleteUgh, I miss Big O too! Good times... Good times!
ReplyDeleteBig O was my favorite by far, well the first season anyway
Deletewell, cowboy bebop was a close second. I still listen to that soundtrack

I wish it was permanent.
