Top Ten Iconic Toonami Anime

- Toonami was a staple of anime anime fan growing up in the late 90s and 2000s. After covering some of the forgotten hits or short-run anime broadcast on the block, it’s time to cover the other end of that idea. We’re looking at the most iconic anime of the block. Not so much the most well-known of every anime they’ve shown, but rather the anime that felt synonymous with the block. These are the anime that got all the reruns since they were just so popular, or at least stick to our memory the most from nostalgia. Judgment Meter joins for this one, too.

Toonami was my childhood and i truly loved this block of television. Gives me goosebumps 🎉
I remember voting for 'Power to The People '. My vote to Outlaw Star. 🎉🎉🎉 Was so happy when it won!!!!!
I was just watching OUTLAW STAR yesterday! On Hulu
@@dannytarver4533Its on hulu! Shit i gotta watch! I cosplayed Gene a few times!
i remember voting like 100 times! 😂
YuYu Hakusho was just awesome, easily in my top 5 favorites
I like the cute red haired guy
Sailor Moon was VERY popular in its pre-Toonami run. However, it wasn't granted the best time slot in most of its regions by local channels (it aired on the same channels that aired the Disney Afternoon, so it was either relegated to coming on before that block at 2:30pm, which most kids were still in school or just getting out. OR early mornings at 5:30am or 6am.)
The only thing that stopped it is DiC only dubbed it up to the middle of the Dark Moon Clan arc. They only go up to where the Spectre Sisters get healed and then the series restarted. So there was no big fight with Rubeus and we don't even get introduced to Prince Diamond and the rest of them. So, basically, only half of the series got dubbed. And that's ALL that was dubbed until Toonami finally commissioned for it to be completed in 1999.
theres a Viz dub you know it's way better that is unless you like cheesey nineties localized anime😅
@@ianbrooks3597 I'm aware of the Viz dub. But.....that wasn't available nor what made Sailor Moon popular in America in the 90s. The Viz redub is from 2016. And, honestly, I like both. I don't see a problem with the DiC dub, as I wasn't really a "subs only" purist growing up. Nor do I let everyone else talk me into thinking something is bad because it's "cheesy." Sailor Moon, by design, is cheesy, so that argument doesn't make sense. Yes, it was edited down for censorship reasons, but it still mostly respected the show and gave great performances. Honestly, there are some things I feel each does better than the other. For example, the DiC dub gives each episode a new title, which doesn't spoil what's happening in the episode. In the DiC dub, it's called "Day of Destiny" and in Viz/Japanese it's called "Final battle: The Tragic Deaths of the Sailor Senshi!" It just gives me a little bit more mystery so big moments hit harder. Speaking of that episode, if I'm watching the DiC dub, I HAVE to watch the final 2 episodes of the Dark Kingdom arc in the Viz dub, so I can see the whole battle. HOWEVER, as soon as Sailor Moon's battle with Endymion is over, I HAVE to go back to the DiC dub for the final showdown with Beryl/Metalia! It's not as long, but it feels so much stronger to me! Also, I think the DiC dub is funnier than the Viz dub.
@@ianbrooks3597viz dub only came out a few years ago. We aren't talking about that one
Yep I remember Dragonball (not Z) and Sailor Moon coming on back to back at 5 and 5:30 lol
So I re looked up the opening theme of Big O(after that awesome rendition) and I just realized why it's so good: it's Flash Aa-Ahh! Savior of the universe!
It's a very strong list. Had fun with it. I hope we can talk about anime some time on one of our channels. -- A.T.
I miss all theses shows
Ronin Warriors will always be precious to me. Tha was my first introduction to anime. Not Gundam or Dragonball or Sailor Moon, Ronin Warriors. I even still have the action figures some 30 plus years later, sitting on my mantle. Lost most of their armor, but got them still with their metal coil bones and all 😍
Fun reflecting back on those years developing my intrest in anime. Lots of fun shows here.
There was only one omission here that may or may not get me some flack, but I still feel like it was a big part of Toonami: Rurouni Kenshin. I genuinely took an interest in furthering my martial arts studies into swordplay after I got into the series, and it's been one of my favorite anime ever since Toonami. It's a genuine shame about the creator, but I will still always love the series and what it meant to me.
Freckles forever
Awesome Toonami special!

9. Outlaw Star
10. The Prince of Tennis
11. Transformers
12. Inuyasha
These are the ones I remember from Toonami.
I really love Zatch Bell, one of those shows that deserved more love. Two others I remember well were MAR and Hikaru no Go. It was honestly these three that got me into anime, not my first anime, but they were the shows that convinced me to try and find missed episodes online.
Cowboy Bebop should've got number 1
@@BenKuhn-wm1xn It's really underrated but so great.
@@michaelaburns734 that was a childhood classic for me and my brother
I may be misremembering but inuyasha wasn't on toonami but adult swim...did it air on adult swim toonami hybrid after it got revived?
My favorite Toonami anime is Outlaw Star, Big O, Tenchi, Yu Yu Hakusho, Gundam Wing, Zoids Zero
Ronin Warriors reminds me of Six Samurai!
43:15 I relate to this hard. DBZ looked really dumb to me. I never saw Z until about 2013 or so. I instantly loved the art and humor of the original and it made me give the show another shot.
DB art is love
Glad to see love for Outlaw Star! I loved that series, and bought the DVDs of it.
I just bought volume 1 of the manga in Japanese
My favorite animes that Toonami aired on Saturdays were Yu Yu Hakusho,Rurouni Kenshin Kyoto arc. For weekday Toonami were Dbz,Db,Gundam Wing,G Gundam.

Top 10 robot versions of other characters (mecha godzilla, metal sonic, etc.)
Dragon Ball Z, Outlaw Star, Sailor Moon. Nostalgia!!!
For me, the one's I recall the best are MAR, Hikaru no Go, Zatch Bell, DBZ, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (ironically I never watched it,) Zoids, Hamtaro and Naruto. The first three probably had the biggest impact on me as a future anime fan, but they all have a special place in my heart as some of my earliest experiences with anime.
Mar is so good in that. Fights are very fun but short. Think about. A short shonen--no MULTIPLE short shonen fights.
Funny is, if you read the Yu Yu Hakusho Manga you can tell that it was originally going to kind of be slice of life and even though it changed course it still became something really great.
It is so weird to hear DBZ almost failed in the US, as it was the highest rated show in Canada for YTV at the time it was airing. We got the full series dubbed by Ocean group, but they were much slower then Funimation in putting it out. We ended up finishing DBZ after the US did.
Because the network idiots over here could not decide to put it in a good time slot for people to see dbz until toonami.
@@ChaosicYeah the US still wasn't sure how anime would fare in the US or how parents would feel about stuff like DBZ, so they didn't know how to really commit...
@@homerman76 yep but became hit over here and dbz kai came out years later for purists,and manga readers and who wanted dbz with less filler.
What I found was weird that ocean dub basically took scripts from Funi after Frieza saga and slightly modified them for some reason. Oh yeah and worse music. Bruce is just the goat. It's also weird hearing the ocean dub actors post Ginyu force. It feels weird but Funi taking over felt natural for how the characters evolved later in Z
@@MrInuhanyou123 ocean group decided to use Megaman ost instead for android/cell and buu sagas instead of bruce faulconer ost,I feel sorry for those Canadian and European countries since ocean group was great during the sayian and namek arcs.
Not gonna lie... I feel like Yu Yu Hakusho should have been number 1 lol. DBZ was ok,but Yu Yu Hakusho was literally the one anime on Toonami that many people I talk to about it remember first. It was iconic on a Saturday night to gather with friends and watch the Dark Tournament especially. Toguro left a big impact on many lol
I remember watching Yu Yu Hakusho on weekdays then they moved it to Saturdays then stopped during half way of chapter black which pissed me off. Had to finished the rest of the anime on dvd.
Toonami would've never become the most biggest and relevant Channel Block to this Day if weren't for the "Dragon Ball" series.
Ah yes Zatch Bell
At the time it was one of my favorite anime ever

Yes
Wat? Adult swim toonami still does tons of anime on the network. Well I guess they aren't considered cartoon network anymore
Yay!!! Missed your input J.M.!!! Glad you have been having fun at cons!!!💛

What if Hamtaro was a fighting game with JM, AT Gonzalez , Professor Oats, Corgian and DJ Weird Sister
What if Arrested Development Was A Fighting Game?
What if Broklyn 99 Was a Fighting Game?
What if 3rd Rock from the Sun Was a Fighting Game?

What if Cyborg 009 Was a Fighting Game?
what if Tenchi Muyo was a Dating simulator?
We need a podcast with DJ Weird Sister
When is the Power Rangers Operation Overdrive rap happening also I want the Spyro and Crash Team Raching videos
One thing you didn't mention was what happened when Ronin Warriors was removed from Toonami. They replaced it with a weird Japanese(Chinese?) puppet show called Wulin Warriors... that only lasted 2 or 3 episodes before being replaced itself.
Big O is one of the reasons I fell in love with anime. Its also one of the reasons I love Giant Robos.
It's a good show
I think you're correct with Zatch Bell and Bobobo bo bobo being iconic toonami series.
I never watched Naruto on Toonami, i only ever watched it on regular cartoon network. I dunno the block, just that it aired at 5pm during the week right after Pokemon diamond and pear.
And the One Piece dub? I completely skipped it.

Really like you delving into your thoughts and a lot of history of these show's Toonami run and yeah feels weird thinking back on stuff like The Rising Sun and Midnight run remembering wow Toonami had so much presence on Cartoon Network for at least like a good 5 years. And as a huge Toonami fan from back in the day allow me to go over my own thoughts and feelings on these shows.
10. Cyborg 009 - Apparently June 2003 was a big Shotaro Ishinmori month for CN back in 2003 because not only did Toonami debut Cyborg 009, but Adult Swim meanwhile was debuting Kikaider on weekdays which was such a weird dynchomy because though both shows are made from the same creator and have his same design (well the original take on these shows/manga anyway) and are about evil companies who mix humanity with artifical life in some form... both had vastly different tones. The Original Kikaider series AS ran was much more a slow burn about asking questions and not as much about the big fights and more about the slower paced drama and though AS would also air an OVA of Kikaider that was more action packed it was the actual series people had some appreciation for before it had that more heavy action. Meanwhile Cyborg 009 was much more about the action and the speed of what was happening especially in it's first couple of episodes and only later would it start delving more into the characters. Though it's action oriented focus made sense why it went more towards Toonami though I think some of the dubbers may not have originally known that or thought it was going on some version of the midnight run cause yeah if you were there when the show first came out, there was actually a controversey due to it showing some blood and having more minor swearing which you didn't really see in the weekday Toonami run. Like maybe it was a rush job on the dub (this is also the dub where Joshua Seth voiced the main lead 009 but couldn't in two episodes for some reason so got pretty weirdly replaced by someone else's voice in them) but I do remember that causing a stir and maybe another reason it's second season got moved to late Friday nights. Either way I do remember enjoying the show though yeah even at the time I felt it had issues. The animation could be cheap and rushed at times and this wasn't like a major shonen series adapating super long arcs or anything and was pretty episodic at points so that's even more noticable. Also this is one of those team shows that really do put a lot of focus on it's main hero as a deterrement when he's one of the least interesting characters but also has one of the most broken powers. Like I much preferred say 006 or 007 or even more somber characters like 004, but 009 had that accelerate power that like a lot of the other villain cyborgs had to have to stand a chance at first so got too much focus. Also though I really like her character 003 is one of the biggest cases of "girls club having worst powers" series I've ever seen as she just gets the super sensing powers. That'd be like if in the Fantastic Four Sue Storm just always had invisiblity powers; That's cool for some missions but if that's your only thing it's lame. I'm not sure if I would rate Cyborg 009 a big series for Toonami considering it only ran half of it's episodes there and even in terms of later weekday series was overshadowed by the likes of say Ruouni Kenshin but was certainly a decent series and one I do have fond memories of. Much more then...
9. Ronin Warriors - Not going to lie; of all the series lisited here this was the only one I remember never really watching any as a kid. I don't know why but a lot of the boys Power Ranger esque team up shows I couldn't really get into like Voltron and yeah this. At least i remember wanting to watch the parts of Vultron involving the big robot though but nothing clicked to me about this one which is weird as I am huge into Power Rangers (at least it's first few seasons) but didn't really see this one. Then again maybe this was because yeah it was an old school pick that felt like Toonami after getting Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon was moving away from or maybe it's just anime armor series I have a hard time getting into. Didn't really like Saint Seiya/Knights Of the Zodiac though that one I at least remember watching some episodes of while here I don't think I saw an episode in full of this show. I remember there was some woman with a kid and a tiger on the side that just felt like annoying commenting/save me characters and.... they had to upgrade their armor due to tougher enemies at one point but yeah nothing about this one sticks. If you do remember it and it was a big higlight on Toonami for you fair enough but this is my total blank on the list. There's a lot of other Toonami series even if they are more obscure I'd place over this one but I get it if you were a fan.
8. Zatch Bell - I do appreciate MrTop10list pointing out why this is fits a list more One Piece or Naruto which are such huge series who aren't nearly as tied to Toonami (despite ironically being the big place still on US TV people can watch "new" episodes of those shows) thus why they didn't get the slot despite being bigger catches. And hey to be fair Zatch Bell though not as big a hit as say naruto must of still have been a big enough hit that they actually bothered making full on recap dub epsiodes for to remind people of the story between parts in the season something they also did with Naruto. Like Cyborg 009 there was also a controversey with Zatch Bell at the time it came out but a different kind entirely as yeah this had a huge hatedom for it because of the people pissed this was the show that was replacing Yu Yu Haksho before it had finished it's run and like MrTop10list pointed out went to eventually end it's run on late friday nights. Which wasn't Zatch Bell's fault as YYH just wasn't getting the ratings it was before (more on that later) and this was a new show that they felt would generate good buzz. And honestly I do remember that though there were still some detractors of the show it still being an overall well regarded series which makes total sense as this is a really good show. It is a very unique different kind of "human and monster partner join together to fight others" kind of show as the whole battle for Mamado King stuff allowed for some very unique kinds of characters and fights. I guess this is one of those series where to work a lot of focus especially in the first part is put on all of these random players showing up in Japan cause that's where Zatch and Kiyo live and only later do they take the fight elsewhere but eh most of these one offs and little arcs were good. Sometimes too reliant on shonen tropes of "not believing how far the main character had come" and "randomly getting this power up" (plus the filler episodes usually were bad if they weren't one shots. There's a specific filler episode I hate a lot but that would require too much explaining here to get into) but it works well as there's some great character progression for the main leads and the wacky world around them. And just how out there this show can get which does result in a lot of just uber off beat characters... some are even too off beat to really like looking at or getting into (like that little girl that bullies Zatch or this black lady who looks like a super insensitive uncool stereotype you wouldn't believe would get past in the 2000's but I guess Japan didn't still know better at the time) but there's a lot that are really funny and do have good arcs. From Kanochome learning to be brave and his powers to Ponygon's whole arc of trying to find his partner and the antics that led up to and yeah a lot of good drama as well. Sherry and Brago are some really solid rival characters and Sherry has a great backstory and heck I heard some argue THEY should be the stars of the show but... knowing more of ZB I get why they work for one big story but why Zatch and Kiyo are the stars considering the author's sense of comedy. BTW speaking of author the manga's the only way to see the full story. Sadly the anime didn't do well in it's last season in Japan and thus ended before the manga did thus the anime doesn't have the full story but the manga does and it's a solid way of wrapping things up and yeah ZB did do well on Toonami even if it was taken off the air in season 2 but hey for a weekly series around that time that was still good.
(PART ONE OF SUPER LONG COMMENT END).
PART TWO
7. Yu Yu Hakusho - Okay so why was Yu Yu Hakusho first aired on Adult Swim, then on Toonami then eventually taken off Toonami to only air on late friday nights? I think it's because of DVD sales. Like Funimation got Yu Yu Hakusho and though it's first season did well on AS they knew as a shonen series it's main appeal would be to younger kids but due to it's edge they felt at first removing that edge would ruin the show some thus putting it to AS. however when they really started pumping out DVDs of this show hit on an interesting idea; what if they put it back on Toonami censored as a way of promoting it also coming out uncensored on DVD? remember before sites like Crunchyroll sans places like Toonami a big way you saw anime was going to places that sold DVDs and purchasing/renting a few episodes at a time of those long running series. Like that's something I remember me and my friends doing in the late 90's/early 2000's all the time for a lot of various titles and even for series that did air on Toonami because sometimes they came to VHS/DVD first or because they were uncensored like say the Android Saga of Dragon Ball Z. That was especially something we did once Yu Yu Hakusho stopped nearly at the end of the finales of the Dark Tournament arc; we were enjoying it's run on there we started getting all the DVDs of that and Chapter Black and yeah watched them there first before eventually seeing them on Toonami edited down and that obviously provided Funimation with a huge sum of money. Well the unedited DVDs as the edited ones didn't sell as much so eventually Toonami stopped even making them which yeah if you only saw the episodes on Toonami there's a lot taken out or changed that ruin the experience. Not to the extent of a One Piece or anything but either the jokes or violence or even points don't hit nearly as hard so though Toonami is what helped make it more popular I feel the show at it's best worked outside Toonami because yeah YYH is a classic. I loved it from the first episode actually as I love starting out with Yusuke just as this seemingly punk middle schooler who you see a day in the life of then he dies but you're invested in him wanting a second chance and seeing how that leads to all sorts of shennigans and honestly this is a really well paced series. Especially for a long running shonen as this actually doesn't technically have filler (they extend some fights and bits and yeah change some of the ending elements but we're not given pointless plots like a lot of long running shonen do. Heck a lot of the stuff with Yusuke as a ghost from the manga actually ISN'T adapated to the anime probably to get to more the action stuff) and honestly to me most shonen can trace their roots to a mix of DBZ and this as though DB established a lot of tropes, YYH gave a lot of details be it differing kinds of powers and abilities, fleshing out secondary heroes and villains more and really delving into drama a level you didn't see in Dragon Ball. And YYH did it great. There are some minor gripes you have with this being a shonen (characters blathering about differering powers or techniques, over long builds, kind of pointless twists done for the moment that don't make sense in retrospect) but honestly between the characters and fights most of it is great. Like I do have some personal issues (wish Kuwabara my favorite got more wins for instance) but I think the major problem with this series is that it's last arc was super ridiuclously rushed. Like the 3 kings arc had this awesome set up in how it brought so many elements from previous events together but felt like Togashi the manga-ka was like "ehhh I'm not making this some super long 3 pronged war let's do a tournament instead and even then rush through a lot of it" but the rest is really good and is a classic you should check out... again oddly enough not as much on Toonami but still...
6. Big O - Ah yes you gotta give major points as a Toonami show if Toonami inadvertingly helped actually save it and allow it to continue making episodes. As MrTop10list pointed out this iddn't do well in Japan but in america people really ate up so much of the "Batman plus mystery noir plus giant robot" action and yeah this had a huge push. I actually didn't really see it on Toonami for I don't know what reason but it was all over the ads. Especially music videos like advance robotics that made it feel like one of the big series despite only having 13 episodes and only being able to air so much. But yeah did so well that CN actually helped co produce 13 more episodes that yeah aired on Adult Swim. Granted I would argue that though kids could get into it that it's tone and themes made more sense for AS. Honestly it going to AS and being this big deal is how I caught it and yeah I watched all the episodes. I feel the first season probably is overall better as it has a better mood and focus on this noir world and keeping to that and though more episodic the one off adventures are still good. Season 2 has some really great episodes (the one with comedic villain Jason Beck may be my favorite in the overall series in fact) but it was obviously this trying too much to chase series like Evangelion or Raphexon by trying to have some deep meaning and commentary and got overly confusing and obtuse and meta in it's last episodes that in retrospect don't hold up as well. Still what's great about this show is great and yeah Roger and Dorothy have a great dynamic (I actually had them in characters in old fanfic of mine... which also do no hold up like in retrospect from 20 something years ago) and the robot designs and feel is really cool but I get why after season 2's ending it's not really talked about or has anyone clamoring for more. Cause that 0 Climax was not that satisfying.... yeah had to make one dumb joke like that, sorry.
5. Sailor Moon
4. Tenchi
3. Outlaw Star
2. Gundam
1. Dragon Ball -
How could you just forget Rurouni Kenshin like that
Yep, this is an EPIC Saturday video
*NOSTALGIAS.*
Let's goooooooooooooooooooo!!!
I mean bleach had a rerun guaranteed spot for toonami. Which is pretty neat
I remember that pre-toonami times for Sailor moon, as it's technically the first anime I seen ever. It had a 5am slot or something like that and I saw it though a door as my mom tried ot wrangle me and my siblings to school.
If it weren’t for Dragon Ball Z, we wouldn’t see Ki blasts.
Doubt it
With how nostalgia works and how dubs are better now I kinda wish Toonami financed and licensed the final arcs of Yugioh GX and 5Ds Uncut since we never got those in America.
Early 2000s Toonami, me in high school, winter 2002, the airing of the Buu Saga and finale of DBZ in the US. Them's were good days.
I honestly believe their wouldn't be a Guardians Of The Galaxy without Outlaw Star. A group of misfits with unique abilities/skills and a hot-shot caption who ends out on top of situations by will or luck.
Guardians predates outlaw star by almost 30 years
👍@@ryansiv5080
I am pressing F so hard right now.
The actual show you're looking for is Firefly.
gundam, pretty much G Gundam for me but still
i also praise Cyborg 009 mostly because its tokusatsu semi, mostly cuz its creator did create kamen rider and super sentai
All those shows made afternoons awesome, No wonder we were rushing back from school. Though, I barely saw Cyborg 009 because I was going through some things at the time and wasn't able to watch TV when it came on. Couldn't finish YYH until years later.
Ronin Warriors was one of the first anime I got into along with Sailor Moon. It used to play on Sci-Fi. Was able to actually finish the show on Toonami. I LOVED the music and the boys were cute, too. I want to learn how to play some of those songs soonish. The Ronin Warriors OVAs were some of the first we bought. They're not very good.
Sailor Moon was a turning point in my queer awakening.
I loved the end theme of Big O.
"And she's like, screw you... I'mma be a lady. In high society." LOL
20:40 gang, it's not that complicated, it's just "Flash" by Queen.
I hated Season 2 of Big O. Art, animation and writing weren't as good.
I have never seen an episode of Zatch Bell in my entire life without the influence of some funny substances or liquids. They were like, ventriloquist dummies who fought each other or something, right?
Sailor Moon was a turning point in all of our queer awakening
@@JudgmentMeter
big O was a version of batman with mechs IMO. He was a negotiator trying to solve the great mystery of everyone's memories. It scared me as a 7 year old kid, not understanding the plot and noir was scary, but damn is it good now as an adult
Ronin Warriors and Zatch Bell were definitely one of the best shows from my childhood next to Yu Yu Hakusho. Sadly I never got to experience BoBoBo all that much cuz at that time I was so into Naruto and didn't think I'd enjoy BoBoBo, now i regret it because that show was a rollercoaster of memes and out of context.
MÄR was also something I enjoyed alot, I loved the story and some of the characters, and especially how they use their ÄRM weapons
Hm, interesting List, Toonami really was something, huh?
Also, i would like to see you cover more of GashBell.
I love Tenchi in Tokyo
Transformers Armada"..
Now there's a name I haven't heard of in years. I use to own most of the large Transformers" and Tidalwave was the last one my parents bought me as a kid and yeah he was a big dude lol
top ten epic anime knockout punches
I saw MOST of these but Zatch Belle never finished as a ENGLISH DUB toonami stopped around episode 75 or so and the anime is at least 150 episodes long in Japan.
good memories. number 1 was a given
Pretty sure the numbers in Cyborg 009 are said as Double-Oh Nine.
On a similar note; date in Gundam's Universal Century are also said as Double-Oh number.
So War In The Pocket is Double-Oh Eighty.
Saw a lot of these but I started watching Toonami in either 2002 or 2003. My brother and I consider it a legacy for Cartoon Network and we still watch it now. Where was Bleach?
I got into yu yu and I will always thank toonami
BIG O!!! Tearing up the street everyday. I'm a little older so I'd been stopped watch American TV and movies. Started collecting Asian movies and animation.

ZATCH BELL! ToT I'm so sad the dub never finished! I loved it. I god into Rozen Maiden at that time and it had a similar vibe.
Mr.toptenlist you had me until you said "Jetstream" instead of jetfire while talking about transformers Armada was that a slip of the tongue while recording or were you confused growing up😂
I have a conspiracy theory that he did it intentionally to make fun of the English dub’s rushed production, where they call Sparkplug Leader-1 (GoBots reference) when that’s the name of Megatron’s Mini-Con and the most used wrong name is Grindor!
As someone who didn't grew up with cable TV and not in USA, all these talk about line ups, blocks re runs and stuff is ultra confusing 😵💫
I miss Toonami. I know they're still around but the shows they have are either just not good or are reruns like FLCL.
The 90s and Early 2000s is when Toonami was at its peak now not so much.
@@ChaosicIts still good, but I blame the pandemic and the merger. Their funds haven't been that good, and supposedly Crunchyroll/Sony have been kinda shitty towards licensing shows for TV.
@@jeice2226 I see but to me Toonami lost its soul after 2004,and now with stream sites for animes that are legal or illegal,the only ones who watch it are new comers to anime or people who have nostalgia for it.

Wow that is a lot
I watched Toonami from the 90's until it's and again for it's revival until I cut the cord and got rid of cable. I was introduced to anime as a whole thanks to it and Adult Swim...so I'm not sure if I should be grateful or hateful for it's existence.
I think Zatch Bell felt a little late. Like I could see it being big hit in the earlier 2000s airing with Sailor Moon and DBZ. Or even on Fox Kids or Kids WB.
Ey can you do a video everything about IGPX also known Immortal Grand Prix
Have you ever read the Tenchi Muyo light novels (available in English)? If you think the relationships are odd, wait until you see the WHOLE story (they are part of the OVA timeline). EVERYONE is related - in some cases multiple ways.
I can't remember if CN ever aired the infamous "spa" episode in the last run.
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I ❤️ this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
Outlaw ⭐ Is my third favourite anime
Tenchi also had a evangelion clone called dual parallel trouble adventure
I remember watching zach bell on ytv 😂😂
i wonder if Zatch Ball would of been more popular if it's uncensored? maybe not i think the show was popular for kids. it might of sold toys. It has gone from a TV-14 to TV-Y7 by turning Demons to Mamodo and removing blood and devil horns. I remember a crap joke turn into a poop joke. A song about BOOBS got changed. uncensored soaped and clean but i don't think we lost anything it seems honest to the Japanese version
Ok it was Jetfire not Jetstream sideways didn't create nothing that little guy that ride on him was his minicon
Well, I got into Sailor Moon due to a certain song.
Was it the song "One Week," since I like to bring up that was the first mainstream acknowledge of Sailor Moon (at least in the US)
@@MrTopTenList you would be correct.
Raditz..? Wowww. I agree that Cell was a better villain..and I can see Bu being picked..Vageta would be pissed but his stint as a villain gave way pretty quick into Antihero territory so I can't blame people for him not coming to mind..but no Frieza? Nowadays, it seems everyone wants to just claim him as the best villain ever and almost no one mentions Uncle Raditz..who is pissed.
This is awesome
So...since mentioned it...when's the Top 10 Armada character?
Top ten zatch bel villains? I'm in
Did you know there is a new manga coming out
@@metallicsnake. what
@JudgmentMeter Zatch Bell! 2, known in Japan as Konjiki no Gash!! 2.
@@JudgmentMeter i just saw this today and it made my day zatch bell has a new manga and JudgmentMeter is in my reply section I'm floored 🤣🥰
💖
2:04 It's JetFIRE, not Jetstream.
Dunno if there's even a Transformer named Jetstream.
*checks* There's JetSTORM but no JetSTREAM.
I guess he got infected by Armada’s rushed (but not as rushed as Energon) dub.
To me, Yuyu Hakusho is an Adult Swim show much more than a Toonami show.
Own all these shows on DVD
Hard core
@@JudgmentMeter they are never a bad rewatch plus some of these DVD are out of print so their very expensive on Ebay.
Transformers Armada was my favorite transformers
My favorite tenshi spinoff series is sasami, magical girl's club
top ten 8th Amendment Violations
1:14 So jealous of kids now who not only have multiple people to talk about anime with, but potentially the whole world.
Did Toonami ever FINISH Ronin Warriors? I don't remember them getting to the Kaguya episodes? did those air on TV ?
They did. I remember being so depressed as a kid cause that dude sacrifice himself to save her 😭 I forget his name cause I am going straight from 25 plus year old memories here but he went from like the most evil cliche henchmen from being one of the best forces for good. That is one of the things that still sticks with me about ronin warriors next to ryo gaining the white form and obliterating talpa at the end of the first half of the show. Damn epic if I recall it now
Roger from Big O reminds me of Phoenix Wright if he was Bruce Wayne...if that makes sense
no Car Captors?
Plz tell me the name of this cartoon/anime, I missed it badly I forgot the show name... The main character boy travels with his two friends one orange colour hair boy who has a demon sword with eye, and he can merge with the sword n turn into a demon n he is out of control, and another friend is a girl, n the orange hair boy has a crush on the girl

It's Show Time
How is Naruto not in the Top 5? It was literally Toonami's 2nd DBZ from 2005-2008. Also how are Tenchi Muyo & Outlaw Star that high? I can agree with Gundam as #2 & DBZ as #1 as that is really how it was. #3 had to either be Sailor Moon or Naruto with the other being 4th in terms of iconicness. While I can accept Outlaw Star as 5th personally, I feel like Cowboy Bebop has been more iconic showing at least 3 Marathons (1 of which was as a contest winner) & I believe 7 full rerun cycles since the 2012 restoration.
Outlaw Star was only broadcast once all the way through on Adult Swim Toonami & interestingly Big O only broadcast its 2nd Season as part of the AS Toonami which is why I don't remember the 1st Season of it although Season 2 was great the 3 or 4 times it was broadcast. Still Big O is worthy of the #6 Spot. Likewise Yuyu Hakusho & Zatch Bell have their places well deserved as well. I have to say that I didn't remember either of your #9 or #10 pics, although Transformers Armada was an iconic part of Toonami when I was a child.
I don't really think much about the Moltar & Tom 1 Era stuff as I was too young to remember. If Tenchi Muyo were around at all from 2003-2008 or had a better showing than GXP during the Adult Swim revival maybe it could have been iconic. Tom 3 is easily the definitive host & Adult Swim was well aware of that in 2012.
I’m a dragon ball fan from menga artist Akira Toriyama. Happy 40th Anniversary dragon ball.🎌🇺🇸🇨🇳🟡🐉🌕🦍🥋🏟️🍜🥟🍚🇯🇵📕💥🤣
