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.
@@deadboy3646 bro you said a mouthful I'm experiencing much of the same things. Is this our curse as Gen Y/millennials? On top of the insult that we keep getting confused for Gen Z kids lol
Ivan De La Garza well, he did say that us earthlings had a case of the April fools, so maybe for him and his upgrade from TOM 4 to TOM 5 it’s like no time passed for him? That’s my guess anyway.
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.
I remember seeing this live. Tuned in to watch the newest episode of Bleach, remembered the April Fool's tradition of The Room and almost turned the channel. Then TOM popped up and I started screaming. It was magical. Props to Adult Swim for bringing back our childhoods.
Cartoon Network really does need to bring Toonami back to weekdays after school. It won't solve all their problems, but it will be something great injected between... Teen Titans Go.
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.
No way! We fans of Cartoon Network all thought it was cancelled a few years back when we saw this! Welcome back Tom and Sara! The network's been lonely without you guys. Remember the shows that were aired back in the day? Anybody? If so, which is your favorite?
this comment is from 6 years ago and i hope you’re doing well man. my favorite was watching Bleach and Inuyasha with my sister and sometimes cowboy beepbop
Seeing this live will never leave my memory. I was so happy calling everyone I knew who loved anime, telling them to turn on their TV's and watch toonami
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 remember switching channels, coming back and this popping up. Reading the menu pop up back when we were lucky and had direct TV. It didn't say anything about it so we all thought it was a joke, when the first show actually started... we were calling everyone we knew or who we could get ahold of. Amazing.
I remember I was waiting to watch the Room. Usual April 1st Adult Swim stiff. Then I see Tom come up and I squee like a fucking school girl. Jumping up and down like a jackass. Truly a moment I will never forget.
I remember being so excited and confused at the same time when this happened. then they showed the final episode of gohan vs cell with the og dbz falconer soundtrack and I was like "whoa is this really real?"
Disney Channel, Nickelodeon Toonami & Cartoon Network Shows Back In The Year 2000's & 2010's & 2020's ALL THE CARTOONS AND ANIME I LIKE THE ONES I WATCH THE ONES I GREW UP WITH.
Still Remember that Night, I was watching Deadliest Catch on Discovery and my brother came running he said " Hey there Giving Tenchi Muyo on Adult Swim and Toonami" we ran to his room and Hey there Giving Tenchi and saw the bumps from Tom 3 era. since was April Fools. Just for that One Night, was a young Kid again.
This aired when I was in middle school. There I am, just watching ADULTSWIM as usual until this weird movie trailer starts playing. Normally, I thought it was just another April Fools prank from ADULTSWIM. But when I heard Tom's voice from Toonami. I literally pinched 🤌 myself to see if I was dreaming. The greatest prank from ADULTSWIM 😂😂
If I never left my last channel on cartoon network and turned on my TV to watch something instead of playing my PS4, I would of missed that wonderful night of toonami returning. Every other night I would of played video games, but that night had to be the night I checked if there was anything to watch, and im sure as hell glad I did
I would have preferred the Owl head man unbury the ground in that hill, and later giving his hand Tom saying: "WELCOME BACK, BROTHER AND GIVE THE AUDIENCE THE GOOD AND MATURE ANIME UNCENSORED"
I remember watching dbz and gt back in the day on toonami. Can’t remember what time gt came on wanna say 9 or 9:30. And then dbz came on kind of earlier I’m not sure. But i do remember watching the episodes not having the option to record anything and then waiting to tune in next week.
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
I'll never forget this night word of toonami's return spread like wildfire.
Karma Akabane hell yeah it did

Pink Puff Ball black weeaboo at my work lost his shit all night
funny thing is is i always skipped the april fools Room showing and the one time i said fuck it was this day

I just love how they started with The Room hahaha
Lmao they were hip to the meme way before us
Right! They really did that!
Adult Swim did this every year from 2009 to 2011, if you don't count this
Well he did say he had April fools
@@rubiks_20 He said Adult Swim had April Fool's
Instead of saying "I love this job", he should of said "I missed this job."

@@wolfwarren6376 that's tom 3.5
Yeah and I loved having that job until he took it away from me
@@TheEtherianpeepeepoopoo Yes they can because SARA downloads his memories into a new body when the old one is damaged beyond repair or destroyed

Toonami pretty much evolved to be more for teens and adults through the years, mainly for adults.
And i think it would be good since anime is already so big with that demographic
You kinda got what you wanted this year with Toonami Rewind
I got to witness the return of Toonami by complete luck, I was literally jumping up and down in the living room with joy. True bliss.
No way! We fans of Cartoon Network all thought it was cancelled a few years back when we saw this! Welcome back Tom and Sara! The network's been lonely without you guys. Remember the shows that were aired back in the day? Anybody? If so, which is your favorite?

All I heard was Tank Dempsey

Why can't the classics from CN make something like that? Well, Samurai Jack did.
When you get pranked with the Room to see Toonami
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Almost 10 years toonami has been back for almost 10 years
I can hardly believe it myself.

@Naruto🍜 been since you made msg 7 months lol I can't find anything that complete have any link's must appreciate
@@andysnyder3844 Either Toonami Aftermath, or Internet Archive .
I got goosebumps watching this
now all we need is bionix (canadain toonami) to come back
This is probably the best way to announce the return of an old TV block.
I remember this and still watching it.
It's been 12 years since this dropped it felt yesterday
When I first saw this I felt as if, I was dreaming. It been 4 years since CN's Toonami died, but now it's back and what's better it's on Adult swim.
A couple of days ago was the decade anniversary of this. Wild.

Whatever happened to jetex or whatever it was called good god how time flies
Jetix turned into Disney XD
That god I thought I was the only one who remembers jetix
@@renbehesi9162 Same here
How tf did I forget about jetix. Man so much happens in ur life that you forget so much
@@michaelrhett4958 That’s right but Disney XD is not staying around for long
This was the Toonami I grew up watching and I loved it. Watching the original must have been magical though
Sure was
I remember when this came back ....... I remember staying up late on school nights to watch Akame Ga Kill!
I remember I was waiting to watch the Room. Usual April 1st Adult Swim stiff. Then I see Tom come up and I squee like a fucking school girl. Jumping up and down like a jackass. Truly a moment I will never forget.
"Oh, Hi Adult Swim, I got the results of the test back, I definitely have April Fools."
I so glad it back, I thought it was gone for good.
I'll easily say this right now:
This version of TOM and Sara were the cleanest
10 years ago today Adult Swim pulled the greatest April Fools prank ever made
This was a sign that the NETWORK itself still had a chance to be saved.
Will never forget this.
I remember being so excited and confused at the same time when this happened. then they showed the final episode of gohan vs cell with the og dbz falconer soundtrack and I was like "whoa is this really real?"

The episode that I remember that night was Dragon Ball Z. It was the showdown between Gohan and Cell
RIP AKIRA TORIYAMA
My friends and I dubbed this “the night we didn’t sleep”
Well right now Toonami is on Adult Swim every saturday. It started on May 26th 2012. and Toonami is comming tonight
It’s has been 10 years since you uploaded this video congratulations
I was psyched when this came back.
10 years ago today.
This was a legitimate thing,though.Toonami is back on it's regular programming,but kind of conjoined with Adult Swim now.
Me in 2012 : Hallelujah they're back! 😀
The day the earth stood still, I absolutely lost my mind
God I’ll never forget this day as long as I fucking live. I was 15 years old.
I remember watching dbz and gt back in the day on toonami. Can’t remember what time gt came on wanna say 9 or 9:30. And then dbz came on kind of earlier I’m not sure. But i do remember watching the episodes not having the option to record anything and then waiting to tune in next week.
10 years ago… crazy
He did. His name's Steve Blum. :)
This was MY Tom.
Nostalgia Critic brought me here.
heh this was yesterday (the day not the year)
I never believed Toonami ever left. TOM left, sure, but we still had anime every saturday night.
Don't forget about his probably most well-known role: Spike, from Cowboy Bebop/
Forever in our hearts even with those weird designs of Fridays
Happy five years!
toonamis back bitches and we have a whole new line up
So that's who voiced MC. He sounds like TOM though.
it’s really weird this is in my recommended today
TooNaMi rockZ🚀🎸
Zabuza has one of my more favorite voices, in both the japanese voices, and the dub.
When I saw this the first time I was so fucking excited lmao
Tom upgraded himself to be up to date lol
FUCK YEAH TOONAMI IS BACK
When the messiah returned
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

Wait..... DID THEY JUST REFERENCE THE ROOM!?!?
Pye22 Hahaha, what a story, Mark!
Toonami has returned. April Fool's
Tom was a cool host now Tom 2 they got the same voice
👍👍
He Kinda Sounds Like Soundwave From Cyberverse
Steve Blum has been voicing TOM since 2000, left the role due to cancellation in 2008, and returned in 2012 and has been the voice ever since
i think i heard that the toonami guy is played by the same actor as orochimaru from naruto XD
Tom sounds like quandale dingle
will toonami ever come back to cartoon network, that was my favorite bit ever for cartoon network.
I did not hit her! its not true! its bullshit! i did not hit her! i did naaaght..."Oh hi adult swim!"
Its been years and I just caught that reference!
Was i the only one a lil disappointed the room wasnt showm then some anime after lmao

1st april
1ST APRIL
