This might sound really stupid but toonami actually saved my life..my friend came over my house and wanted me to go with him to some girl's house, usually I would say yes but I was like "hell no, DBZ is about to come on"..now this wasn't just any episode of Dragonball z. This was the first time in the US that Goku turned Super Saiyan against Freiza. I waited a long long time for this episode and I was not about to miss it..well he left my house and as he was driving, he made a U turn too quick and got hit by a semi..he survived but was in a coma for weeks but the passenger side where I would have sat was completely caved in..lucky me. Thanks toonami

"A foolish Samurai warrior
wielding a shape-shifting master of darkness
wielding a magic sword

wielding a foolish Samurai warrior
wielding a magic sword..."

Toonami was for me as a teenager what Saturday morning cartoons were for me as a kid.I think with the previous generations before mine there wasn’t much in the way of good cartoon programming aimed pre teens and teens, which is why even Doug’s generation typically stopped watching cartoons and only came back later because of nostalgia or because they started watching it with their kids. While a lot of people I grew up with never stopped because there was enough quality and mature content that we didn’t merely think of cartoons as “kid’s stuff” and grow out of it.

“Big O! It’s showtime!”

I waited YEARS for Nostalgia Critic to say this.

You know what I loved about Toonami, that kick ass Peter Cullen Narration. It didn't matter what the show was, hearing Optimus Prime himself hype it up made it sound like the coolest thing ever.

Can we get the same crew to do an entire episode on the Cartoon Network shows like Dexter’s Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd and Eddy, Cow and Chicken.

Dont forget that toonami also introduced a generation to Miyazaki. In 2006 they played a month of Miyazaki and helped me start on a lifelong love of his work

"Well, this is the end, beautiful friends. After more than 11 years, this is Toonami's final broadcast. It's been a lot of fun, and we'd like to thank each and every one of you who made this journey with us. Toonami wouldn't have been anything without you. Hopefully, we've left you with some good memories. So, until we meet again, stay gold. Bang." Unknown to TOM 4, Toonami would be brought back almost four years after his last words

"...work, bills, adulting..."
A rather accurate description if you ask me....

I'm really surprised while talking about Toonami they never mentioned the actual Toonami STORY itself. I remember like Tom being in the middle of space battles and fighting for his life while entertaining us and we could go online to help him fight the space pirates through mini games.
