Toonami is Officially Coming Back



It has been officially announced on the Adult Swim website that Toonami is coming back on May 26th.  They had done a special night of programming back on April 1st, complete with new bumps from Tom (voiced by Steve Blum).  Apparently there was such a positive response and outpouring of support from fans that Adult Swim is bringing it back full time!  Steve Blum also led a large portion of the campaign via his twitter page.

I can't wait to see what content they licensed.  I'm sure it will have a lot of the old favorites, but hopefully they get some new blood in there too.  If you just can't wait until May 26th, check out Toonami Aftermath for some good ol' nostalgia action.

I'd personally love if they were able to get a third season of Big O going.  And I'd like to see Rurouni Kenshin brought back as well.


What do you guys think?  Which shows would you like to see come back?

Toonami on Adult Swim

[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.

Tom was even back



Here was the full lineup:
12 am: Bleach
12:30 am: Dragon Ball Z
1 am: Gundam Wing
1:30 am: Tenchi Muyo!
2am: Outlaw Star
2:30 am: Big O
3am: Yu Yu Hakusho
3:30am:Blue Submarine No. 6  
4am: Trigun
4:30am: Astro Boy
5am: Gigantor


It was like a nostalgia grenade went off in my brain
