CN's Toonami... OVER? - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

It may be.
I was just having the TV on without looking, Toonami was on, it ended and, well... Here's what I remember of the message:

"Well, it's over folks. After over 20 years, Toonami is coming to an end. We'd like to thank every one of the people who went on this journey with us. We hope we left you with some good memories."

... Wow. Toonami being over.
I didn't like it that much, but I did have some enjoyment at times.
... Wow.

Yup, I just heard the news today. A loooot of fans are upset, and they have reason to be. CN didn't even give a warning that this was going to happen! I don't think that was very fair to the fans. I didn't watch the block much, but I feel for the fans.

Live From Anime Weekend Atlanta: Toonami 1997-2008

September 20th, 2008 by Chad Bonin

From the floor of Anime Weekend Atlanta, I�m both glad and saddened to be the one breaking the news. Tonight�s Toonami will be the final. Anime will be shuffled off, with Adult Swim still apparently acquiring some, and Action will be a Friday Night/Saturday Morning thing. The Toonami people have been shuffled off to different departments of CN, and Jetstream will air for the forseeable future, but the Toonami we know is gone as of tonight.

Naruto? S&P has 15 more episodes to go over, and there�s no word on another season. No word, also, where it will air after Toonami.

Quote:

Pretty big announcement about Toonami coming tonight. (One of the heads of AWA mentioned Toonami would air for the last time tonight, but wasn�t clear if he was joking) edit- someone asked, and he reiterated to watch Toonami tonight for an announcement.

Edit- Toonami, as we know it is gone. The team is going to other parts of CN, anime will be mostly handled by AS, and action on Friday nights. Toonami is gone for ratings. Jetstream will be active.

S&P looked at Elfin Lied.. too much.

�No comment� on Naruto Shippunden airing.

Old School AS Friday won�t last long.

Code Geass is not doing well at all. Watch Shin-Chan and reruns of FMA.

FusionFall in January, beta testing now.

Naruto- S&P has 15 more episodes, and �wait and see� on second series. No word on where it goes without Toonami.

CN is airing Gotham Knight and New Frontier, working on a Ben 10 Alien Force live action movie.

man i remember back around 2000-2004 or so, when it had some good stuff.

I never saw more than the last few minutes of it while waiting for Foster's to begin and I wasn't familiar with the shows anyway so I can't say I'll miss it. It annoys me that CN didn't give any notice about it, though. That's pretty disrespectful to the fans in my opinion.

I've been hearing for a while that Toonami was going to be ending this year, so for me, it wasn't a surprise. I didn't know the block was ending tonight, though, until I watched Samurai Jack. I mostly watched Toonami when it had the Midnight Run several years ago, and I watched it some even after the Midnight Run was gone. Recently, outside of Samurai Jack, I pretty much didn't care for Toonami very much, and I did not like the latest and final version of TOM. I did like how the block ended, though, with TOM using a quote from Spike Spiegel (that and TOM are some of Steven Blum's most well-known voice-over roles)..."bang".

The farewell message was a bit depressing.

Eh. I don't really watch Toonami that much anymore, but it's still disappointing that the block is now dead. What will air instead on Saturday nights before Adult Swim?

Countless CN "original" reruns.

This is just sheer proof that CN is now another mindless kiddy network. :|

Bloonan · 09-21-2008, 08:24 AM

I was hoping they'd rerun the entire series of Bobobo-Bobo-Bobo.
... Or whatever it was called.

Though I haven't watched Toonami in a LONG time, it still sucks seeing a part of my TV childhood get casted off so abruptly. If it weren't for that cartoon block, I doubt I wouldn't have had much of a fondness for Japanese animation as I do now.

Stay gold!
