Patreon: / greenline The Toonami Timeline. How has Cartoon Network's Toonnami block after two decades? Sources Special Thanks to Lord Dalek animesuperhero... Toonami Wiki toonami.fandom...
The way how you simply stated "the Golden Age" I got a big smile on my face. I remember it too well. Gowing up in the 2000s we did not know how good we had it. Toys and kids TV was at it's best.
The Dragon Ball series, Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, Naruto, One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, and a lot more made Toonami special on Cartoon Network during my childhood years through my teenage years from the late 1990s and mid 2000s.
Iron Age kid here. Moltar is MY toonami. Tom is a close second, but Moltar will always be host to me. Rest in peace, C. Martin Croker. Thanks for the memories!
That's interesting, most Toonami fans prefer TOM...at least most of the ones I know. I think that comes down to Moltar being involved in such a small amount of its broadcast, whereas TOM has been around the longest. It's cool to seen that you are a fan of the OG. And yes, RIP C. Martin Croker. He will be missed.
25 "WHOLE" years actually... But I see where you're coming from. The segment in question refers to the brand of Toonami that has lasted 25 years. Despite the fact that Toonami was canceled for four years adult swim considers March 2022 to be the 25th anniversary. You can even check on their TH-cam page. th-cam.com/video/-sMUBvO7gXw/w-d-xo.html
Seeing the history of the block it's entirety makes me realize how much of a ghetto Warner Bros has created for anime on American television. Because of that Crunchyroll basically has a Stranglehold on most anime distribution in terms of streaming. It's crazy how little options there are for watching anime in the West despite such a large exposure. You basically have the few scattered shows and occasional movie on streaming services, you have Crunchyroll or the FUNimation app as the official site, or you just have to wait for it to come on Toonami. You'd figure with the success of anime on streaming you think the Legacy Media like television would stop keeping anime in this weird Saturday night ghetto and start airing it on weekday afternoons at like 5:00 or something. Things like Demon Slayer and my hero Academia have massive appeal that 14 year old audience. It was a slow transition to where Adult Swim basically started clumping all their anime together and slowly phased it out in favor of just having one night in Japanese animation. I can remember days on Cartoon Network what the more toy commercial styled anime with air on Sunday mornings and those eventually disappeared too. Sorry for going on this weird little Ranch over here I'm just a little confused at how anime on Western television has been completely phased out and this weird pseudo Monopoly that's placed on the industry and it's importation to the United States.
toonami is how i found some of my favorite anime like blaech naruto and Dimension W plus I loved storm hawks as a kid. truly influential to how anime and cartoons have progressed over the years
I remember clear as day waiting for IGPX to drop because Toonami advertised the sht out of it. Sadly, it aired during NOT Toonami's decline but Cartoon Network's decline. CN City era (arguably greatest era in animation history) was coming to an end and they introduced a sht ton of live action series throughout the entire channel.
@@dupersuper6516 But it's the Cartoon channel maybe that's why they didn't like em'. They should have used boomerang 🪃 isn't that there's also or maybe have made another channel for live action shows
@@majidvf8066 Nick and Disney had live action, and CN had live action hosts, they probably thought they could get away with it. You're right about the separate channel, but I don't think they'd be willing to invest unless they were certain the shows would turn a profit which they didn't. Smh
I remember seeing toonami back when it was still hosted by Moltar and it had Thundercats on it's block. That's how a 1990's kid like me got introduced to it.
I remember the first show I watched on toonami was Thunder Cats. VHS tapes were in high demand back then. Thanks For trip down the memory lane. Sadly You forgot .hack//SIGN ( Feb 1, 2003) lol What is the current Era?
I remember staying up late just to watch toonami Sailor Moon ,card captor Sakura,etc. any anime til it was no longer available for broadcast TV (anime went onto Cable)😢
I really like this video, there are some points though where you may be talking too fast or something because it's a little hard to tell exactly what you're saying sometimes. Every so often a group of words sounds like it gets a little jumbled up. Great video though, what a nostalgia trip!
Thanks! I've been working on enunciating and talking slower. If you check out my other videos I'm hoping you will see an improvement. The channel is still a work in progress!
I only know about _Reboot!_ because I found it by chance while browsing Amazon Prime Video on an X-Box 360 to see what seasons of _Power Rangers_ were available.
god i was such a naruto nerd as a kid XD loved the anime so much that i adored the spin off games aswell (like uzumaki cronicles 2 and UN) i remember going camping over the weekend of the hundo back in 2007 because of my brother bday and my mom had to record all those episodes on the dvr lol ironically i also realized 15 years later i created my yt channel a day after toonami originally got cancelled ahah also bo bobo wa god tier imo.
Currently working on it! I haven't changed the mic but I did get some extra equipment to help it sound better. And some of my sentences do run together, so I will try to work on that. Some of it though is the work of my editor… I swear I had some pauses that were edited out. So I don't know, I might've to talk with him about.

You're not necessarily wrong. This list is partly inspired by Disney's film eras. The list groups together the different films in two different time periods based on audiences perception of them. The Toonami list, which was partially taken from somebody else's list, Is to chop up the timeline of Toonami into different sections based on how they might've been perceived. At the very end I've included a to be continued sign indicating that there is a second part to this video. In the second video I plan to add more commentary, that is to say my own commentary. Hopefully I will be able to give a better experience… This is my first video so please be patient, I hope to get better. Thanks for the feedback!
I remember watchin toonami when I was 5 back in '98 and I really couldn't get into anime cuz of the framerate. It'd make me seasick. It still does so I just read manga lmao!!
Toonami wasnt bad it had some good moments like justice league, and other DC. but in regards to Anime Adult Swim is where all that go started and lagged way behind Adult swim in that regards. ( i know to mature for audiences )
It was unfortunate for the shows being replaced. When Toonami is just made up of Dragon Ball it can get kind of boring for some people. I think it's better for Toonami to have more variety. But yes, Dragon Ball does make up a part of Toonami's heart and soul. Alongside Sailor Moon and possibly Gundam.😃

How long do you think the golden age last? As far as the dark ages are concerned; the reason why I placed it in late 2007 is because Toonami by this point was pretty much dead. Whereas 2004 was still pretty lively. Now, it wasn't airing during week days, which is why I assume you think the dark age starts there? I understand why but I think I disagree. Magoozy was a different block entirely. While having some similarities it felt more kid friendly.
I'm fairly certain, based off the research I did. Was there something I missed? When I eventually get around to revising these videos I will be sure to add in some of these amendments.
Bro, some constructive criticism, having enjoyed the information your video provided, you need to work on pronouncing your words more clearly. I really struggled to understand what you were saying. Not hating on you man just saying.
What?! Gundam wing was enough and is still definitely everyone I knows favorite run of Gundam. Especially paired with DBZ. These two shows were the highlights of my childhood. I still have like 40 Gundam wing models.

I remembered toonami since I was a little kid and teenager. I don’t forget it at all. It was amazing time in my life tbh

toonami is how i found some of my favorite anime like blaech naruto and Dimension W plus I loved storm hawks as a kid. truly influential to how anime and cartoons have progressed over the years
Great vid!
Also i listened to part of the video at (2x) speed and narrator sounds like Jesse Eisenberg. 😂
Oh great...it's worse than I thought...
