Toonami Ends. TOM Says Goodbye For The Last Time.
As reported by ANN, Cartoon Network has ended the 11-year run of its Toonami programming block. Naruto was the only anime left on the schedule.
The Toonami Jetstream online streaming service will reportedly still continue, albeit under the branding “Jetstream”. It has also been reported that Cartoon Network is working to import the Japanese-animated Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z: A spinoff of the Powerpuff Girls series. To fill in for the now vacant timeslot, the live-action Spider-Man film will run instead of Toonami on September 27. On October 4th, Batman: Gotham Knight will be run at 8:00 PM after which an episode of Naruto will air at 9:30 PM.
Since 1997, Toonami has carried dozens of anime series including, but not limited too: “Voltron, Robotech, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Ronin Warriors, G-Force: Guardians of Space, Blue Submarine No. 6, Tenchi Muyo!, Cardcaptors, Zoids, .hack//SIGN, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, The Big O, Outlaw Star, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Cyborg 009, Duel Masters, Astro Boy, Gundam, Rave Master, Zatch Bell, One Piece, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Pokémon, MÄR, The Prince of Tennis, Megaman Star Force, Bakugan Battle Brawlers, and Blue Dragon.”
One question Why, why would they do this? and why did they cancell it?
Toonami started dying when TOM 3.0 hit the scene TOM 4.0 and his gang just killed it entirely. The lack of Total Immersion Events and Naruto being the only anime series left just foretold cancellation. Whoever pulled all the un-finished anime series just for an Hour of Naruto is probably at fault.
AWWWWW
naruto is not at fault if anything that was the only thing keeping it up and running, they better keep showing new episodes of naruto or thousands will be upset i mean wat type of crap is that leaving it in the middle of the series that so stupid wtf. >:(
that would be the type of crap adult swim pulls on a regular basis
dis is sum bullshit!!!!!!!
Well, there’s only about ten or so episodes left in the first Naruto series, so they could have at least waited until the finished airing those to stop Toonami.
Jeez, there goes some good childhood memories down the drain.
:C
WTF!
why in the bloody hell did they cancel toonami i know there were like only a few good shows that were still making new episodes but that’s f**k up WE SHOULD PROTEST!
oh im not british i just like saying bloody hell
[...] has offically been cancelled Toonami Ends. TOM Says Goodbye For The Last Time. | Otaku Times Its a shame that for 11 years it has been on, Cartoon Network decided to pull the plug dude to [...]
yeah naruto was not the one who did this i feel so sad
naruto and samurau jack were the only show show that were good and keep it running as it could
NOOO this is bullshit!!!!! naruto was holding toonami up but no need to pull before its about to end before Shup they better f**king make adult swim play naruto shup or i will be pissed
you know what i think the next thing cartoon network is going to cancel is adult swim becase they been getting some pretty low rating with all the wack show they put in the only good show are family guy witch is old and doesnt show any new episodes and bleach
Cartoon network is pretty much dead to me. Adult swim went on an artisty spree and started showing less anime and even less good anime subsituted with Tim and Eric who need to be killed. Toonami is about the same. less good programing and subed in crap…kills shows.
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grew up with toonami!!!!!!!!!!!! thats not far!!!!!!!!!
Man this sucks Toonami’s been on since I was 6 I used to run home from the bus stop just to catch it.
Lots of great memories the Old DBZ shows, Voltron, Thundercats, Jonny Quest, Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, Zoids and so many others.
Toonami, and Tom’s 1-3 you will be missed, Tom 4 you can die.
