Sadly there is no longer even a new Toonami. Though imo in the later version they ruined Tom's character.

It became a routine, i would go home watch Toonami for a couple hours then go on with my life. I mean my sole entertainment was Yu Yu Hakusho and DBZ for a long time. Toonami was like my retreat from the real world where i could just sit and relax and have no worries.
Sure some of you may say i was a little obsessed, which i was, but it was fun.
I may not have watched it much for a while. But it still holds a special place in my memories, no action block on TV can ever replace the greatness Toonami once had. Sure it started to go downhill in recent years but it was just about the only way for people to watch dubbed anime, short of buying it, for the longest time i can remember.
This is where i pay my respects to something that shaped my interests for the past 11 years.

Toonami
March 17, 1997 - September 20, 2008
R.I.P.

I totally agree with you, I watched Toonami for the entire time that it held a position on CartoonNetwork. It introduced me to anime (DBZ, Yu-Yu Hakusho, Tenchi Muyo) and has given me irreplaceable memories. I was faithful till the bitter end, even though the in the last fleeting years their quailty dwindled. I would personally like to know what did Toonami in, because I would have a few choice words for the people behind it no matter what the cause was. But what's done is done and nothing can be done about it now. I hope CartoonNetwork will never try to replace Toonami, because nothing could ever surpass such an epic action programing block. But it doesn't concern me any more because I no longer have any reason to watch anything on CartoonNetwork; they have lost me as a viewer. The only reason I turn it to that channel anymore is for Adultswime; the good anime on Saturdays, which is from 1am untill I feel like going to bed, and I'll keep it like that untill Adultswim changes up their programing or CartoonNetwork stops sucking. I only wish that Toonami could have had a tv channel all to themselves, but that is a fleating, unrealistic dream that will never come to fruition. Okay then enough of these dejecting feelings back to watching anime!

Don't we all mourn this tragic loss?

And yes, they ruined Tom's character in the end.

We need to come up with a new one, lol.

What can I say Toonami was the origin of nearly anime fan I know in my generation and my memories of it are irreplaceable and sacred to me. The fact is that it was unable to grow with us and as a result was torn to pieces. God I love those days when I could sit in front of my TV and drift away into Toonami's many shows.

OMG really i havnt got all the channels on SKY anymore! I used to watch SAMARI JACK! It was awsome. I think this was the first sort of anime i watched!

Toonami RIP *CRIES*

I gotta admit I loved watching Tom and the Absolution fly around showing anime. That's how they got the idea for adultswim it started out as Toonami late night showing uncut Gundam Wing episodes. Ahh memories.

Goodbye Toonami R.I.P.
The good old days of DBZ, Samurai Jack, Yu Yu Hakusho, and especially Gundam.
This day will never be forgotten for those people who had their interest on anime built up from Toonami.

Sayonara Toonami

We'll miss you Toonami

I think what sucked the most about it is the fact that they just cut it off no "This is our final broadcast" or "Looks like we're out of here" just gone like "Fu(k you guys!"
