- Here's the full video with some extras mixed in. Put it together since i got tired of ppl asking me to combine it themselves. Not that I mind too much i can understand its a pain to watch it individually.
If you want the playlist:
• Toonami April's Fools ...
ah yes and all © to CN and AS as wells the companies for the shows belong to them not me so plz dont sue me D= - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
The night no 90's kids slept.
Ya damn right
I didnt even know abotu any of this at first, until i saw the no 90s kids slept tagline post on social media... then I was like wtf?!!
Toonami should have done this and villiantines day every year frfr.
I slept through it only because I gave up on Cartoon Network not long after Toonami died in 2008. But when I woke up on that April Fool’s Day I was like don’t even prank me like that. Then finding out it was real I gave myself a punch in the face. Since the revival in May of that year, I have made sure to watch every bit of Toonami since then. Like I have not even skipped a single show including reruns.
@edtifa I wish I could say the same, but i've missed a lot over the years, despite how happy I was for its return. That changed last week, though. I'm doing everything I can to support Toonami from now on.
The greatest television moment of all time lol still remember this like it was yesterday
fr
I remember when I saw this I immediately told my little brother. We stayed up all night watching it. It was fantastic!
I wish I watched it live. It must have been amazing.
@@Phinal_Flash It was. There was no announcement and no warning. It just popped up on the TV screen that night at midnight. If I remember correctly I was actually about to change the channel when I thought bleach wasn't going to air that night. However, before I did I heard tom's voice and my hype levels went from 0 to 100 in almost an instant. It was also amazing seeing anime from my childhood play on live television for the first time in a long time.
I remember I wasnt even home. I was playing pool with my friends at a bowling alley with pool tables in the back. The TV was showing DBZ and I thought, "cool they're playing DBZ" until it shows Tom saying it'll return. I shat myself.
+Kevin Eleven, dude.. that ENTIRE scenario just played out in my mind just now. Thank You.
Similar. I was fixing my PS3 (voltage issue , had to turn the hood screw in the power supply a bit). I was flipping through the guide on my tv and saw Dragon Ball Z .. NOT Dragon Ball Kai, or Dragon Ball Super, but DRAGON BALL Z.
I was like HELL FUCKING YEAH and turned to that bitch…and then..I saw TOM.. and the rest was history. Toonami is infamous for having nights that you’ll never forget and never saw it coming. I’ll never forget the night I was introduced to the Gorillaz and THEN…DAFT PUNK.
Toonami is such a important part to a millennials upbringing it’s ridiculous.
@@neiko9251 Early Gen Z as well man I literally grew up on it
The night Toonami brought in over 1.2 Million views in a single night. Glad you're back on the Air :)
I stayed up all night watching this channel when this aired, from 12am to 6am. Even watched the commercials too. Don't regret it because this was a once in lifetime opportunity to watch something this epic again.
SuperSpyMario I sadly missed out on watching it...
SuperSpyMario I recorded it watched it live and rewatched it its still on my dvr in case I want to relive it I don't even skip the commercials im going to watch it every year annually on april fools day every year to relive an epic night
Lucky guy you are. To bad I don't have DVR to rewatch it again. But I do have a Photographic memory, so I can recall the entire thing. All I need to do now is figure out the names of the episodes they used for each show. Than I can have an unofficial rewatch of the lineup.
+SuperSpyMario I stayed up until 3:30 in the morning for this.
razkable
You think it could be possible for you to record it and upload it all on TH-cam?
I remember this. Then the rage that adult swim received because you know you don't just dangle toonami in front of millions of people and go oh yeah april fools. Thus toonami returned.
This wasn’t a prank, it was a gift.
Toonami deserves to be it's own station
I wonder how the crew at Williams Street must have felt when they saw the ratings for this? I can only imagine they must have been overwhelmed by the response.
Many people like myself were asleep while this aired since the TV Guide was unreliable that night. Then you wake up on an April Fools Day finding out this happened and start thinking that is not funny don’t mess with me only to realize it was for real. Then you get to the point of wanting to say every curse word for missing it. But pretty much everyone who found out about this was telling Williams Street that it needs to be for real so it did almost 2 months later.
@@edtifa Yeah, the response was deafening. I even remember when that rap song was made to demand it be brought back.
BEST april fools prank ever.
And 56 days later Toonami returned, for good...
10 years since the best April Fools Stunt happened
XD I love how Steven Blum voices both TOM and Roger Smith from Big O. Its like he advertises himself!
+Korick Armstrong, it's like Steve Blum transcended/ascended to godhood.....
I remember this night vividly. I watched this on a flight to New York....Best trip ever
This was the whole reason toonami was brought back, thankfully it’s right where it should’ve been in the first place on adult swim.
I remember being so confused that night because I tuned in for Bleach and forgot about the annual The Room showing, but I actually screamed in joy when they cut to Tom. Still one of my favorite memories. Best. April Fool's. EVER.
I remember screaming like a little girl when I first saw this
More like an Anime girl
"Oh hai Adultswim."
I love you, TOM.
Oh fuck, I almost cried when they aired the battle with Cell. So fucking amazing.
+assassinscreed00 For real!
Masenko Ha ;..;
i remember when this aired i was just sitting there waiting for anime when all of a suffen TOM showed up and the only words coming out of my mouth were "oh my fucking god yes!" over and over
I wish I had stayed up that night. It wasn't until 2016/2017? when I was talking with some friends over shows we watched as kids. I said something like "I miss Toonami", they said "Ya know it's been back for awhile right?" I had no idea. They said something of it returning on April Fool's Day 2012. I looked it up, and yep, there it was. Watched the block the first Saturday after hearing the word from my friends. Needless to say, it was the longest time I had watched on the Cartoon Network channel, because around 2011, that channel was basically dead to me (other than Regular Show, the other ones sucked, in my opinion).
I found the April Fool's Day 2012 broadcast on an archive site, and of course I had to get it. It's great to watch.
I might have grown up in 2004 and not experienced every moment but don't get me wrong this was still a hell of a time for a young kid
Hmm 2004. I was 6 so I was watching Nick a lot. When Zoey 101 and drake and Josh took over the air. Even CN was awesome. Miguzi. Pretty sure you watched all of that.
They learned that night not to mess with those who grew up watching this as kids. We grew up and rose up and demanded Toonami back on the air! Shame I missed this event....I learned of it too late.
I am surprised that a dvd release (with bonus features, promos, and interviews) of this airing was not released...
Not to mess with? Its marketing dude. It was a win win for them
@@beyrsf If they did that, they'd have to license every single episode that they showed for DVD release. It would probably have been too expensive.
1:40 "A new episode of Bleach, next Saturday @ Midnight. Only Toonami".
Expectations raised!
I tuned in every year after this desperately hoping for Moltar to show up and play the OG toonami. When Martin Croker passed it was even more of a gut punch. Freaking Lazzo.....
this was the best April fools ever...and i missed the first hour a friend called be freaking out about it
This mustve been the last time Z (not Kai) aired in the states on tv.
That it was
God I remember just getting off my xbox 360 playing with my friends that night online. I guess I left the channel on CN and was finna turn away until I saw the promo for bleach with TOM and I remember freaking the fuck out and thought I was dreaming haha. Ended up staying up just to watch those shows and recorded everything.
Dude me tooooooo
When I first saw this, I thought either CN was f-ing with us, or I accidentally played an old recorded vhs tape
Mad respect for including Astro Boy and Gigantor
I remember this all to well. two days before was my 21st birthday and I also got cable and Internet that day at my old apartment. this came on a few days later and I just sat down and drank beers for the whole thing
I remember staying up for Trigun! I love that show, and the fact that tom was introducing it...perfect!

It's the third anniversary of Toonami 's return.

When we saw this, we all just lost our shit. None of us slept that night.
I however did because I was asleep before it started airing and pretty much regretted that night of sleep ever since.
It made sense to relaunch Toonami on Adult Swim because the audience that grew up with it on CN is older so it make since to put it on a more mature network. Plus me personally like it on AS because it can air the uncut versions of the shows that aired on the CN version and can air the mature anime that would be inappropriate for CN(Deadman Wonderland, kill la kill, extra).
Those Toonami game reviews were always legit AF.
I'm almost put to tears when I see all this, MAN I miss Toonami!
4 years after the Hiatus of Toonami
Man, This is very good things is old times my childhood anime memories ago.
Also... thx Richie Branson for leading the charge on getting Toonami back.
I still keep coming back to this moment. This was one of those times where your mouth drops, you don't know if it's real or not!!!
"Oh hi [adult swim]! You got the results and the tests back, I definitely have April Fools."
I remember this. Epic night. The choice of bumpers here and even shows though is better than Toonami at it's current state. It feel so lazy now.
Have you seen what it looks like now?!
Truly a once in a lifetime moment
Toonami 2012 is now reopened, For teens and adult with mature Japanese animation
Now, all that was missing from this lineup was Dragon Ball GT's "Until We Meet Again", Teen Titans "Titans Together", and Justice League Unlimited's "Divided We Fall", "Destroyer", and "Epilogue".
Ten years ago, Adult Swim's best April Fool's Day joke premiered! And twenty-five years ago, the best action block on TV premiered!
I didn't think it was all that necessary to put them all together. But you went the extra mile anyway! Here's to getting Toonami back on the air, maybe even permanently!
10 years into the future. I can confirm it’s still going.
Can't believe it's been 10 years ago to this day we didn't think this would happen
When I first heard about this Toonami April Fool's thing. I missed it. Because I thought Adult Swim was just showing the same shit over and over again. And as much as I like Bleach and Cowboy Bebop at the time. AS at the time was just showing the same shit, so I didn't even bothered. Even FMA Brotherhood was having reruns like 3 fucking times, and Inuyasha as well. Here I am still watching Toonami, I looked at the ratings when it first showed all the way through the ratings currently. (Because I was bored.) And it seems pretty consistent. Some days or months it does real good and other days not so much. But everybody schedules are different of course. Even though it lost the 2 hour slot. The ratings now are still the same or slightly higher now than couple years ago, because DBZ Kai pretty much proves to be the one keeping Toonami alive, and Kill La Kill is second, Honestly, I am strongly convinced that Toonami is solely alive because of DBZ, whether present, future or the past. I should also mention the ratings that Toonami ever had, DBZ was always the highest. This tells me something. Whenever Dragonball Super is dubbed, PUT THAT SHIT IN TOONAMI! I guaran-fucking-tee it will make Toonami stronger than it ever has since 2012. Every one encourage Toonami to have DB Super ready as soon as possible in the future!
+]-)ΣΔ†]-[ A dub is being produced for Toonami Southeast Asia but unfortunately Funimation is not involved with that dub.
So Ocean Durb is durbing DBZK?!! What about putting Aang, Korra, and the Autobot Wreckers on Toonami then?!...
]-〉ΣΔ†]-[ DBS dub is coming on January 7th
And now you guys have DBS, enjoy!
HA, we can change that statement to Samurai Jack! Now THAT'S bringing the ratings! And don't forget Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Hunter X Hunter, and this week we get Tokyo Ghoul!
Tom is so cool, even to this day.
TOONAMI.....the Greatest gift Television has ever given us...
It's been ten years since the unexpected return... then on May 26, it's also gonna be ten years since Toonami's proper return.
I remember this because in 2009 I had stumbled upon it & Adult Swim. And got knee deep into Bleach as a freshman in high school. Then all of the sudden in 2012, graduating high school & was having issues with facing the identity crisis of being an adult. Then watching this & seeing that it wasn’t a joke & that I’d be able to love everything about Anime. It helped me accept facing new responsibilities like, rent & bills as an adult.
Best April Fools Day EVER! Man, how ARE they gonna top themselves this year?
My dream Toonami lineup:
12 - DB Super
12:30 - DBZ Kai
1 - FLCL
1:30 - Bebop
2 - Gurren Lagann
2:30 - Sword Art
3 - One Piece
3:30 - Space Dandy
4 - iGPX
4:30 - Sword Art II
5 - Ghost in a Shell
5:30 - Bleach
I would watch that
Too much DBZ. You don't want for DBZ to pull a Naruto, do you?
Stacy Jo Proctor true with the dragon ball stuff
I like how you wished for DBS, then DBZKai, and it actually happened XD
Thank you so much for taking the time to upload all of these videos. You my friend have earned respect.
i cant believe watching a guy telling me what show is coming up next is making me so happy
AND THEY PLAYED YU YU HAKUSHOW?! Damn... I really wish I hadn't missed this...
Once-in-a-lifetime indeed.
I'm glad this part of my childhood came back.
I cannot stress enough how insane this was when it aired. Like genuinely. I had become a Toonami archivist for awhile and always thought the idea of it coming back as something a pipe dream at best, I must have watched toonami’s various intros at least a few hundred times so seeing it just pop on my tv was crazy because at first I thought I was just hearing things, then I looked on twitter and saw everyone freaking out and knew it was finally true. I was so happy because I remember even seeing people suggest it would have been kinda cool to see Toonami on adult swim, so it’s almost like some people foreshadowed it returning, and now it’s still going strong today. Crazy.
You are tearing me apart Lisa!!
if you where a little timmy in your teens watching this in 2012 your lucky
Yu Yu Hakusho was one of my all time favorite anime back in the days :o
We need the Midnight to 5:00 A.M schedule back
Prince Dragonair well we have it til 4:00 AM
TOM probably hasn't even seen Gundam 00 as the last Gundam series to air on Toonami was Gundam Seed in 2004.
Tom made Fillers Cool
Imagine if Cartoon Network on April Fools 2022 brought back the Cartoon Cartoons block taking over the whole schedule for a day.
Cartoon Cartoons is coming back but I don’t know if it would take up an entire schedule but Cartoon Cartoons is officially coming back onto the normal schedule.
@@edtifa I commented this weeks before it got announced. I can't believe this aged like milk.
@@TheIrkenEmpire420 nice lol
I remember this night. I accidentally turned to Cartoon Network and saw Dbz was on during the cell saga and then went to commercial and saw Tom. I almost died 💀
Toonami is back ---- Can't keep a good idea down.
Aw, man...they should have kept these bumpers for the current Toonami. :( Oh well, at least there's something fresh and new.
These bumpers are mostly recycled from the TOM 3 era when Toonami first moved to Saturdays before TOM 4 was introduced but with new clips. They kept this style bumpers on the revival of Toonami until about the time Sara came back but with Dana Swanson now being Sara.
That was an awesome night. But it still feels good to see Toonami on AS because it had a hand in starting Adult Swim when you think about it.
"best gundum series ever if your asking for opinion"
when I saw DBZ I knew it was gonna be one hell of a night
Tis' been a good year for our beloved Toonami.
So much more convenient than waiting for the next vid in the playlist to load.
#FirstWorldProblems
This is one of the best moment in history that the people from the network actually ask the people what they wanted and we answered.... so happy Toonami is back
This was the best April fools joke 10years ago 🤟🏼
"Oh hi adult swim!"
OHHHHHH MYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!! :'D
April 1, 2012, A Day Which Will Live in INFAMY!!
i literrally dropped my jaw when i saw tom for the first time in 6 years
I was high as fuck on OxyContin when I first saw this. I had gotten back from a bad ski trip that ended up in a broken ankle. At the time I was in disbelief because I thought we had finally said farewell to the greatest thing to come out from Cartoon Network since cartoon cartoon or whatever.
I remember this like it was yesterday. I was at a party on 3/31/12 watching Ohio State vs. Kansas in the ncaa tourney then got super bummed out and went home early when they lost.
Then when I tuned into Adult Swim I happened upon the greatest thing happening in human history since Jonas Salk developed a vaccine for polio.
xD bruh i agree
if adult swim changed their entire weeklong line up to stuff like this they wood hav a much larger fanbase
