The crazy thing about that closing speech TOM 4 gave was that the Toonami staff made it all without CN's persmission. I'm honestly grateful they did- it was much better than letting it get cut off without any explanation and in doing so, they saved it from falling entirely into obscurity. Other than that little tidbit, gotta say this was fun to watch! It missed a few things, but this way it's like a cliffnotes version and gave the basic details about it. Personally, I've been watching since...2005 or 2006... I was definitely way too young to be watching stuff like Naruto but hey, I had fun. And I'm still watching Toonami to this day.
I watched a bit of Toonami when I was a toddler; I remembered ReBoot, Sailor Moon, DBZ, Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and Beast Wars. I wasn't old enough to appreciate and understand those shows, but by 2014, I became hooked on Toonami. That was when Vortexx on the CW ended its broadcast, and I had to find a different block to get my weekend animation fix.
Kind of surprised you didn't mention who Tom's voice actor was. From all iterations starting with the 2000s, Tom was voiced by Steve Blum, the same guy who did Spike Speigel voice in the English dub of Cowboy Bebop. Its fitting how when the block shut down in 2008 hen he flies off into the distance and says "Bang!" the same word Spike said at the end of the anime.
From March 17, 1997 up to the present day, man that a very long time. From my childhood years watching Toonami on Cartoon Network on weekday afternoons to my teenager years when Toonami aired on Saturday night primetime until it got shutdown on September 20, 2008. And then its revival on May 26, 2012 as Toonami currently aired on Adult Swim on Saturday/Sunday morning on 12am to 4pm. While I watched Toonami currently in my adulthood years. For 22 years I have been watched Toonami in my life and I am glad that I grew up with it.
Small corrections the Weekday Toonami and moved to Saturdays only wasn’t really cancelled for being too violent. It was cancelled from airing Weekdays because most of Toonami’s audience was now reaching their Teens like myself and so it was replaced with a similar block called Miguzi which was to help appeal to younger viewers. TOM 4 was also an example of Cartoon Network trying to appeal to younger viewers. When Toonami was moved to Saturdays only, it replaced another Action Block that was called Saturday Video Entertainment System or as most people call it SVES or just calling it Saturday where it was basically like Toonami with many shows that aired on Toonami or at least could have aired on Toonami but it ran from 7PM to 2AM. However the style of SVES was more like a retro videogame rather than broadcasting from a spaceship like Toonami or broadcasting underwater like Miguzi. SVES only lasted for about a year until Toonami’s move to Saturday at 7PM to 11PM with Adult Swim Action coming on after it.
Toonami was a part of my childhood. Model fighter Ggundom, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z,Sailor Moon etc. I also watched toonami on adult swim and got into My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, One Piece, Naruto Shippuden, etc.
Moltar’s Voice Actor wasn’t fired he quit. He felt that Moltar doing like those inspiring Toonami Speeches is just way too out of character for Moltar to ever say.
Me Dora you missed one part of the TIE’s. I’ll fill in what you missed. I don’t remember the date but around 2018 a tie event called countdown takes place not just in the normal Toonami Tom universe, but in an alternate reality. It featured the two tom’s as they try to save the vindication. What found interesting about the Tie’s is that the ships can air the shows without Tom and Sarah. I wonder how though. Can’t wait for the miguzi vid.
When can we finally see ALL the Macross titles on Toonami? Including OVAs and movies connected to the franchise? Let the entire world know this exists!!!
depsite i didn't grew up with toonami i always wish toonami was back on cartoon network and not adult swim mainly because when toonami returned on adult swim i feel like it was ruined and lost it charm and toonami is about kids anime and some western action cartoons hell i always prefered kids anime and some magical girl anime (depsite some magical girl anime like madoka are not for kids) than shounen (depsite i love some shounen like naruto one piece or dragon ball and i still think shounen is better than seinen and josei) and i would also like to both muguzi and toonami returned to cartoon network along with adult swim action which was like toonami on adult swim before that happened. and one last it's that while you make a miguzi story video amke on too on adult swim action
djh 1991 You forgot Cardcaptors and some would argue that Kill la Kill is a Magical Girl series(though it has guys doing it too and is definitely different than most Magical Girl series).
I still wish toonami was still in Cartoon Network but many shonen are approated for kids and they could easily fit onto toonami and many iconic toonami anime was shonen lamo
I never seen Toonami because I was born in the 2010s. And I'm a kid so I can't watch the new adultish block. But I can tell I would've (maybe) liked it. ??/10
Adult Swim Toonami has different series for different age groups. Like stuff such as Naruto would be considered as okay for younger viewers. But some things are definitely not okay for younger viewers. One Piece is considered as a maybe. But something like Attack On Titan is a definite no. So it just varies on which show you show interest in and if your parents are super strict or not.
Toonami is literally the longest lasting block in CN history, I love everything about it and watch it to this day, its all so chill
The other one is Adult Swim
The only Adult Swim channel ever made was in Canada! So it’s still a block with only ONE channel
I ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THE NIELSEN RATINGS BUT IT’S STI-oh wait I forgot, Toonami was 90s, AS was 2001…
In that case then here is a problem for your mom >:(🖕
@@TheDerpyBoi adult swim toonamo wasnt until 2012
Actually, the April Fools day prank used normal TOM 3, not TOM 3.5.
TOM 3.5 wasn’t introduced until the block was properly revived.
The crazy thing about that closing speech TOM 4 gave was that the Toonami staff made it all without CN's persmission. I'm honestly grateful they did- it was much better than letting it get cut off without any explanation and in doing so, they saved it from falling entirely into obscurity.

Toonami on AS rocks me to sleep on Saturday nights
Toonami is dad-core now? God that makes me feel old. I was there as a kid when Cartoon Network first started airing and same with Toonami.
I watched a bit of Toonami when I was a toddler; I remembered ReBoot, Sailor Moon, DBZ, Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and Beast Wars. I wasn't old enough to appreciate and understand those shows, but by 2014, I became hooked on Toonami. That was when Vortexx on the CW ended its broadcast, and I had to find a different block to get my weekend animation fix.
Adult swim is a life saver for saving toonami

Toonami is literally longest lasting Cartoon Network block I used to think that was Adult Swim or boomerang

Only time I watched toonami was when I watched adult swim because I couldn’t sleep.
When you said your dad watched it...I suddenly felt extremely old. I was 15 when Toonami became a thing.
Brings back memories of dbz on toonami
Great video medora
Yo another history video! Keep it up!
I’ve never heard of toonami until I watched this actually.
The outro bruh. 👌
im legit glad to be a subscribe for stuff like this
Same
Watched this with headphones on, I thought my mom had the music playing loud the whole time!!!😅
Absolutely fantastic job on this, dude! Keep it up :)
Toonami was a part of my childhood. Model fighter Ggundom, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z,Sailor Moon etc. I also watched toonami on adult swim and got into My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, One Piece, Naruto Shippuden, etc.
Wish I grew up with this
Peak humanity creativity the years and everything
2 Things I Like About Toonami:
1. T.O.M.
2. All Of The Anime Series They Aired.
Toonami is the empire of anime and TV (to me)
We solute you Tom
The history of medora entertainment (like comment if agree)
Thank you medora
btw i love ur vids
I watched Fena from Toonami when it came out on my bday
I love Fena Pirate Princess. I admit the ending was a little off but it was still pretty amazing to watch. Plus Fena is such a great character.
Toonami was a 24 hour channel in Asia.
Really? Lucky...
And UK
Glad to say I was there for it all
my brother used to kinda watch toonami
I also watched WB kids and saw Pokémon, Yugioh, Hamtaro, etc.
I want to know what happened to moltar after he was fired from being toonami’s mascot.
you should search for moltar's last message to tom 5.
Moltar’s Voice Actor wasn’t fired he quit. He felt that Moltar doing like those inspiring Toonami Speeches is just way too out of character for Moltar to ever say.

Nice
I love toonami march 17th _ September 20th 2012 present
You forgot a TIE, Countdown which takes place between The Intruder III and The Forge.
When can we finally see ALL the Macross titles on Toonami? Including OVAs and movies connected to the franchise? Let the entire world know this exists!!!
9:49 that is a very long title
I KIN TOM AND SARA SO HARD ITS CONCERNING
LMAO
OOF
Toonami got me into both Dragonball and Transformers (Z and Armada respectively). I will always be thankful for it! :)
Can you do cbeebies pop and tiny pop? Thanks if you do peace out
I be watching dbz Kai on toonami
Toonami aired Powerpuff Girls
I remember the Original Toonami.I kinda dug it.
It was more than a block but an abridged universe T.I.E's a great host and many fans
Can you do a history on discovery kids the Latin American channel for kids
Do miguzi
depsite i didn't grew up with toonami i always wish toonami was back on cartoon network and not adult swim mainly because when toonami returned on adult swim i feel like it was ruined and lost it charm and toonami is about kids anime and some western action cartoons hell i always prefered kids anime and some magical girl anime (depsite some magical girl anime like madoka are not for kids) than shounen (depsite i love some shounen like naruto one piece or dragon ball and i still think shounen is better than seinen and josei) and i would also like to both muguzi and toonami returned to cartoon network along with adult swim action which was like toonami on adult swim before that happened. and one last it's that while you make a miguzi story video amke on too on adult swim action
I agree. it's mainly an anime love fest now.
not too many American shows at one time.
The only magical girl anime that aired on Toonami was Sailor Moon.
djh 1991 You forgot Cardcaptors and some would argue that Kill la Kill is a Magical Girl series(though it has guys doing it too and is definitely different than most Magical Girl series).
I still wish toonami was still in Cartoon Network but many shonen are approated for kids and they could easily fit onto toonami and many iconic toonami anime was shonen lamo
NO! ADULT SWIM IS!
IS WHAT?
(if he does tickleU or cartoonito, even adult swim, that would be ungodly
i mean, [as], Toonami, and TechTV are fine, but Tickle - U and Cartoonito fit a bit better
I never seen Toonami because I was born in the 2010s.
And I'm a kid so I can't watch the new adultish block.
But I can tell I would've (maybe) liked it.
