    Bro, this moment I will never forget as long as I live.
    It was raining, and I was home sick from work with chinese takeout, lo mien and beef with crab Rangoon that was a little soggy. I switched over to cartoon network and as soon as I saw Tom, I screamed so loud my neighbor called to see if I was okay. I waited a few seconds to see if it was a joke then instantly jumped on skype and group called all of my closest friends. We spent the entire night up till 5 am geeking out and just reliving all these memories, telling stories of our favorite episodes of the shows that played, and every time a bumper came on we all went dead silent.
    The next day I went to this anime imports place, girl who worked there was a friend in highschool. Soon as I walked in she just jumped up and yelled "OMG TOONAMI LAST NIGHT DUDE!"
    You just cant get experiences like this anymore, and I'm glad to have lived to see it. :)

      Yeah man. It's too bad after about 2017/18 life ended up way worse than it's ever been especially now. I can't hardly even enjoy toonami or anything anymore with how much overwhelming bullshit is going on in my life. I'm 23 now and every year it gets worse. None of my friends even talk to each other anymore. But, that's how it'll always be. Life is only good during childhood.

    I remember when it went off the air, with that TOM with the face. It was a sad day. And then the year we all thought the world was going to explode and Gangnam Style reigned supreme, classic TOM came back. It took a few years, but it was good to See You, Space Cowboy.

      The thing is CN has a decent slate of cartoons now (even though they’re for younger audiences as opposed to the demographic they shot for when we were younger)
      They just need to have more balance. I know TTGO is their most popular cartoon, and it’s good, but damn. Every holiday and random days of the week is a TTGO marathon. Play more Steven Universe, OK KO, infinity train, WBB etc.

    I was sad when it first went off but honestly the OG Toonami ended being a shell of it's former self. Consequently I would say post-Toonami (like 2007-2012) was my favorite era of anime personally because it forced me to explore and find shows as I began to form my tastes independent of the mainstream stuff that introduced alot of us into the genre. And I met alot of kids some that turned into longtime friends who were also entering adolescent weebhood and we shared that common interest. Scouring the various free sites and message boards for recommendations. Found alot of hidden gems, but I'm glad the kids today get a whole new generation of shows presented to them

    I know ppl are wanting Toonami back on CN but I think it isn’t possible since CN has shown its self to be on the safe side and also make shows without really caring for the property plus Toonami is going to be really censored which will ruin the experience since the times changed and people are letting kids watch safer shows but Adult Swim has none of that restrictions which makes it better suited for Toonami as the fans are probably grown up to go check out adult swim and plus it opens a lot of more anime’s like DBS, New Narato, One punch man and many more I hope too Toonami is back on CN but I think it’s not really likely that’ll put it back
