Cartoon Network ends toonami
-
-
Figures one day this will happen, but I cannot imagine so soon (its probably because of all the GAYNESS that they did the last 2 yrs, need I say more)?
And how about AS, is that safe?
-
Rest in peace toonami…
-
You know, I wasnt that upset until I actually took the time to think about it.
I remember rushing home after school, when I was 12, in anticipation of Toonami, which I'd usually watch the entire thing. After that trip down memory lane, I started to get a little down, sigh If I could go back for one day…..
-
whats Johny Test?
Ah, I think I've seen some of that.
It's the story of a "cool" 13-year old genius who has two 16-year old genius sisters. I remember it for its utterly inane depiction of scientists and engineers, even for a pop culture show. ¯(º_o)/¯

Makes one wonder, doesn't it? Why did we as children (the prime demographic) like Toonami way back when, and why don't children today like it? Almost all the changes made to that block (from weekdays to just Saturdays, from the midnight run to only early afternoons) have harmed it.
While taste is probably an issue (like why "Hannah Montana" and "Zoey 101 are some of the most popular Disney/Nick shows respective) it is more a story of Toonami's mismanaging over the years and the sad state networking is at Turner Broadcasting.
-
worse then J.Neutron ?
-
Thats a tough one…
I would say these sisters are worse though.
-
Jimmy Neutron is probably the only CGI show that actually looks "good"
-
TBH i hated the jimmy neutron animation, so many show glitches.
In one episode jimmys hand was going right through a wall, I dont remember which one.
-
As far as "genius" shows go, Dexter is always at the top. Jimmy Neutron failed by making the genius accessory to a typical sitcom/slice-of-life kind of show. Johnny Test is just as bad, I don't really want to compare them because they're both blah.

In the "organic" sense? I'd argue Beast Wars and Reboot looked better despite being ten years older, particularly because the shows were created with the understanding that CGI at the time could best replicate inorganic things like computer mechanics and robots.
-
I personally still feel like Toonami ended years ago. If it was still good, maybe I would care a little.
-
Toonami died when they stopped showing Voltron. I think I was in middle school at the time. I'm now 25.
-
I'm not surprised that Toonami's going (went) off the air, but I'm pretty disgusted with how they handled it. If you care about your viewers, the least you can do is give them a week's notice.
-
I agree,
they give us 1 days notice of this then a quick bumper and BAM toonami's gone.
I bet half the toonami faithful without access to a computer probably dont know that toonami is now gone.
-
Wait, so Toonami is dead?
GEEEEOOOOOORRRRRGGG!!!!!!
Okay, with that out of my system, I have one thing to ask: What is going to be the future of One Piece on television? I mean, isn't Toei demanding that the show have a TV deal?
-
Jesus Christ…
ONE PIECE ON CARTOON NETWORK IS OVER.
But someone had to say it loud and ignorantly.

It hasn't aged well I mean why the hell does that guy have a swedish accent?

But Jimmy looked more fluid than those two shows not that I have anything against Reboot.

that picture made my day XD!!!!
-
Wow…..that was short notice. As others said, I too remember the good ole' days of toonami before they started to screw it up. I haven't really watched it since One Piece was taken off....just occasionally to see Samurai Jack, but it's really sad to see Tom go from the Absolution fighting space blobs with only him, a few flying robots and his ship to a big eyed little robot that killed all that Tom was about.
'Tis sad....but Cartoon Network has been heading downhill for a while now.

Mera, "ignorantly" would most likely describe the post I responded to, but thanks for that smiley though, so saving that.

You mean-apearance wise,or "plot" wise-
oh shite,all plots are about characters being stupid/ignorant,havent seen that one before.
And yeah,I hated the animation too.
And yeah again,Dexter is the ultimate genious-but fuck,what did they do to him in the new seasons?Making him so stupid he has all programs broadcatsed in his BRAIN,instead of seting a VCR ?
And-problem is Boomerang is more or less the new Cartoon Network now, but its not the main one advertised.
Also-this short notice is just a typical example of how theese networks never comunicate with their viewers-like RTL II.Did you guys know they hyped us for an extra hour and a half of anime some year back through fall and all of christmass-and when it started at new year,it was taken down within a MONTH,an extra HALF hour was cut and we didnt get so MUCH as a notice.

I would actually get up to watch Boomerang if it wasn't a premium channel and came with basic cable like Toon Disney. I stopped watching Toon Disney when it stopped showing the Aladdin/Hercules series, Timon & Pumbaa, Gargoyles, Ducktails, Goof Troop and the like. Now all I see on that channel is trash. :|
-
you dont like KP ?
-
That's on the Disney Channel.
-
I thought you meant that,actualy.Im not seeing straight :/

As if those weren't trash enough already :/
-
whats trash already,DuckTales?!
-
If it hasn't been mentioned already, check out the Jetstream website. They just put an interview up with the creators of Toonami, they talk a bit about the block, than thank the fans for sticking with Toonami for almost 12 years.

Hahahahahaa
Another quality thread from Miracles.
Old news is old.
-
Good job, retard.
-
about time this block got cancelled….ever since streaming anime websites i've found toonami to be...well...useless.....yeah...besides who the hell likes to watch something that's edited?
-
I could have "Hall of Shame"-ed this, but I'm feeling nice today. Merged.
-
Wow Satsuki is a mod now, I missed a lot.

The same people who liked DragonBall,Tenchi Muyo,Outlaw Star,Gundam Wing,One Piece, & BoboX7.

Exactly.
Also, I wish I could trade Cartoon Network for Boomerang.
-
Boomerang isn't all it's cracked up to be I mean after you've watched Smurfs,Snorks,Jonny Quest,Thundarr etc, for the 10,000th time etc it gets a bit stale I mean where's James Bond Junior,Speed Racer,The Real Adventures Of Jonny Quest?
-
I don't know, I could watch those only Hanna-Barbera cartoons for hours on end, even in marathon form. My favourite block back in the day on Cartoon Network was "Super-Chunk".
Gimmie more!
isnt that a 4chan smile?
SomethingAwful, actually.
-
is embarrassed because he got home early and thought that he could watch Toonami and hope to see One Piece
Let's never speak of THAT again.
You know what this means right? We must give Funimation ultimate power! We must help them get their own broadcasting channel.
So when that happens, do you think G4 will become a good television station?

G4 isnt even a gaming or tech channel anymore
-
That was what I was implying.

Will this effect the new Batman show that's debuting sometime in November?
