Toonami! WHY!?!?

Welcome to the General Discussion area where just about anything goes! This area is designed to discuss all matters and does not necessarily have to be Transformers related. Please keep topics relevant.

That sounds like boomerang....


:oops: your right the old scooby doo is on Boomerang, anyway since Toonami UK started it went from this to this


Was it CNX or Toonami that had the awesome bumper that was around 5 minutes long of show clips put to some top notch music?


IIRC it was CNX, could be early toonami either though.

CNX and early toonami is what I remember, those were so awesome :D Hell, it's not even the same channel anymore, just a pathetic, almost pitiable shell of what it once was, like a Quadriplegic puppy.

I hate the new Kiddy Friendly Tom. I never even liked Tom, but at least he used to look cool. I demand the return of Moltar damn it. Oh and good cartoons. Remember them?

I miss ReBoot, Big O, SD Gundam,and especially the mindless coolness of Megas XLR.

I just saw the new Tom. He looks like crap.

Toonami UK was the channel to find all the good stuff like Justice League, Megas XLR and Dragonball-Z. Now it's been Nickolodeanized, full of teeny crap and Cartoon Network cartoons(when they have two other channels for that!!) It just totally sucks now. The only decent things left on it are The Batman, Samurai Jack and Static Shock. And I agree about another thing, Boomerang always has to put on a goddamn Scooby F'ing Doo Marathon on a some point. During the summer last year, there was SIX WEEKS of it!!!! I HATE THAT CARTOON!!!!

As for what Toonami should have on, as well as the stuff I've already mentioned and others like Teen Titans, maybe they should have a look at some of the older stuff. I wouldn't be disappointed to see Batman: The Animated Series again, or Thundercats, or Centurions. They could do far worse than get G1 or the full Beast Wars series as far as I'm concerned. What do the other Brits think?

TBH I hardly watch TV now, anything good is either on DVD or Youtube before it airs here anyway so why restrain myself to TV scheduing? :?

I watch some of the stuff on toonami, Mainly just naruto, I will never understand the prince of tennis. I f***ing hate the one piece dub, it does the original no justice. And they changed tom, probably for the same reason they change the lineup from few anime to mostly anime, money, they need the ratings points too, thats why they aired Dragonball Z for so long. And thats why they air all sorts of junk now, they dont care so much for substance, they just want more people mainly little kids to watch. Whey you think about it it makes a lot of sense.

I agree that is why they do it, but it doesn't make sense. CN already has little kids watching it all the time with the kid shows outside of AS and Toonami. HTF does it make sense to change Toonami from teenage - 20s shows into more kids shows!?!
