Re: April 1st 2012 Toonami retruned or on big troll!

@Penquin: I think you misunderstand I think alot of People know this is a one shot, the person behind the April Fools Toonami Broadcast said it was just there way of giving a nice piece of Nostalgia & shout out to the fans, however he also said that Williams Street/CN were open to bringing the block back, given it probably won't but the fact they are open to bringing it back is a good sign. On top of that CN recently started its "Best Of CN" block which is a Cartoon Planet style block Hosted by Brak & Zorak showcasing the best of the Cartoon Cartoon Origionals. So while unlikely its not impossible for [Adult Swim] to let TOM 3.0 host Adult Swim Action on Saturday nights. And yes it is silly to think that even if by some chance the block did come back they would air what they aired last night, that schedule was indeed a one time thing to give a shout out to the fans & to help the companies that helped bring over set shows.

but yeah Steve Blum even posted this on his Twitter

Quote:
"Yo, Toonami Faithful...
Thanks for tuning in. Hope it kicked in some happy memories and kicked off a happy April! As you (hopefully) know, bringing Toonami back isn't up to me. I'm just a voice guy. Many of you want to know how to make your voices heard. Maybe start here... http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/feedback/ Go to "programming" then "Toonami"
Love you guys from the bottom of my servos."

DO IT! DO IT NOWWWWW!!!
I'm going to formally type my response up and then paste it in and send. Hopefully if enough of us do this, we can permanently get our Toonami back! "

And again one of the AS representatives behind the Apri 1st broadcast said that while this was a one shot thing if you wanted to see more Toonami just to voice your opinion on their boards or to go to CN's feedback page as Blum suggested.

Anywho yeah, probably a pipe dream, but as the old Toonami Promo goes, "A boy has the right to dream"

Re: April 1st 2012 Toonami retruned or on big troll!

Just saw all the commercials and for the Yu Yu Hakusho box set commercial, they showed the season 4 Blu-ray cover while Tom promoted the DVDs. Guess that was a botch on the part of Adult Swim.

As for Tenchi...

Yeah, no excuse for this false advertising.

Poor Right Stuf, their commercial actually got a TV-MA rating. nervous

Re: April 1st 2012 Toonami retruned or on big troll!

Well, lets hope the amount of attention last night got (as well as the ratings and responses) gives CN/Adult Swim the idea to make their Saturday night anime showings under the Toonami banner/format, I think that would be a wise choice. It would still be adult swim of course, but just have Tom refer to it like he did last night - "Only Toonami...on Adult Swim."

Re: April 1st 2012 Toonami retruned or on big troll!

Would have been crazy if they had got an episode of One Piece Season 4 from FUNimation to show even before they havd finished the set.

At this point with the fan base all stirred up like never before I wouldn't be suprised if it comes back sooner rather than later. I am still pshyched!!

Also really was digging the promotion of DVDs.

Re: April 1st 2012 Toonami retruned or on big troll!

I picked a terrible year to drop cable (I hardly if ever watch TV, so why bother paying for it every month?) I would have loved watching this. Toonami was awesome. Lots of good memories.
