I did kinda start watching late, so I missed part of FLCL, but oh well... Your description of Mind Game is perfect! And yeah, it is quite satisfying hearing/watching Joseph Joestar react to the fixes he gets himself in! I actually quite enjoyed this prank! I'm curious though how many people lost their shit over subbed anime. Personally, I prefer dubbed, but I found it rather amusing just how far Toonami went with this. That was a fun night! I am a little irritated with some of the ways theme songs were subbed, however... GITS, in particular *singing in Japanese* yep, very useful... lol But, That's not really Toonami's fault, I'm sure, so...
Damn has it been 6 years already, I remember it like it was yesterday, freshman year of high school, I recorded FMAB but then I see Toonami and Gohan vs. Cell and I started spazzing out.
Yup, I still remember, waiting every Saturday night thinking it stayed it took the 3rd or 4th Saturday to realize it was only that one day, then the fans helped get it back on the air what a year or so later.
I had a blast watching this last night. It was such a wonderful treat. Demarco and Co. outdid themselves this time. It was incredibly well made and came out of nowhere. I genuinely hope they do this again some time.
I will forever be sad that I didn't have cable to enjoy this. I can at least find solace though in knowing there's no way they could possibly ever hope to top this.
That'd kinda defeat the purpose though. Why would people pay cable to watch it on tv subbed when they can watch it ad supported for free in a bunch of other places?
There's just something about watching it live on TV, knowing that other people are watching at the exact same time, that watching online can't replicate.
Technically, Toonami itself is a joke. It had a sneak peek of itself as an April Fools Day joke in 2012. That was the day Toonami returned from the abyss that is canceled TV blocks.
Despite preferring dubs for the sake of not having to worry about missing something if I don't read fast enough, I gotta say this was pretty awesome. Also especially glad I got to experience this first hand since I missed out on the 2012 April Fools way back.
Fun fact I was in the hosp staying with my aunt and I turned this on and i was so confused I didn't know what to think until I finally googled to find out it was an April fools joke.
Right but A.S celebrates April Fools on Toonami when it hits Sunday. If that’s the case it would be 2029 by then and I doubt Toonami (Even CN at this point) will make it that long.
Did anybody watch the movie "Mind Game" last night, I did. It was confusing, strange, and wild. I never saw a movie like that in my life, besides "Memento". It was funny though, like near the ending when they were running on the water like wild animals lol. That water scene was the craziest thing I have ever seen in anime.
The intro almost turned me off because I thought the entire movie/show was going to be like that: a random stream of nonsensical consciousness. Luckily, I realized immediately that it was just an intro and stayed up to watch it to its entirety. It was made by the same guys who animated FLCL, so it all made sense in the end.
I hope Toonami does stuff like this more in the future. I'm saying that I want everything subtitled but it would be cool for stand alone movies like Mind Game to be shown in Japanese alongside the dubbed programs.
I SWEAR TO GOD TOONAMI THE BEST THEME MUSIC ALL THEY BEATS BE FIRE IF You DONT THINK SO YOU CANT HEAR .DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THESE NEW TOONAMI BEATS?? whats the beat at 2:54? when the girl is laughing?
Gee, I never knew Toonami aired anime shows in original Japanese language with English subtitles on April Fools' Day and also, the [adult swim] logo is in Japanese.
Naminski Dragon Ball Super, DBZ Kai and Black Clover were the only dubbed and after that is subbed which is pretty cool to see what Toonami was subbed all day
Gee, i never knew there were people so dumb. they don't air Japanese lang on April first repeatedly each year. "I never knew Toonami aired anime shows in original Japanese language with English subtitles on April Fools' Day " learn please.
This is by far my favorite April Fools prank. I had the whole night set to record on DVR, but unfortunately my DVR didn't record anything but Scavengers.... :(
havent seen any anime that was subbed only since the old days of the 90's when it premiered robot carnival , vampire hunter d & twilight of the cockroaches! not to mention when SciFi channel first premiered akira and the tenchi movies in the late 80's!
Me too i love Toonami but anime are so much more enjoyable when you watch them in Japanese audio if your like me and you want to see some anime in Japanese audio on US TV then STARZ has been airing My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising in both Sub and Dub channel 527 airs Dubbed and channel 531 airs Subbed i wish Toonami would air more anime in Japanese
Yep, everything after midnight Eastern Time was Japanese dub and English sub. They showed a preview of FLCL Alternative (Fooly Cooly in English), which isn't even out in Japan yet and premieres on Toonami in September. Edit: My bad, FLCL Season 3 is Alternative, not Progressive.
We know about that April Fools prank from 2012, but does anyone remember last year's April Fools? That one really frustrated me coming from a Samurai Jack and Dragon Ball fan.
Gawd it felt so good hearing old man Joseph Jostar in Japanese that night.
RandomBlackGamer ooooooh my goooood!
May his voice actor rest in peace
FLCL, an acid trip of a movie, full OPs and EDs, and getting to hear "HELPA ME! OH MAI GAHD!" What more could a man ask for?
Just Some Guy with a Mustache Yup. I was literally crying the whole night.😭
Fuck. Atleast i have youtube to see that part
I saw FLCL in Japanese script come up on the screen and about shit myself.
Just Some Guy with a Mustache Dudeeeeeeee!
I did kinda start watching late, so I missed part of FLCL, but oh well...
Your description of Mind Game is perfect!

This was one April Fool's joke that I actually enjoyed. Kinda wish that they did this more often
They should still have Steve Blum voice Tom and sometimes have Tom be voiced by a Japanese guy on some occasions or have Steve Blum learn Japanese.
The Japanese dialogue for TOM is voiced by Masa Kanome and the Japanese dialogue for Sara is voiced by Fusako Shiotani.

Didn't Toonami make its grand return on April Fools?
TheCartoonGamer8000 It did. 6 years ago.
Damn has it been 6 years already, I remember it like it was yesterday, freshman year of high school, I recorded FMAB but then I see Toonami and Gohan vs. Cell and I started spazzing out.
Nobody slept that night lol
Another one will happen for another 6 years
Yup, I still remember, waiting every Saturday night thinking it stayed it took the 3rd or 4th Saturday to realize it was only that one day, then the fans helped get it back on the air what a year or so later.
I'm just glad they showed the full openings and endings
I wish I saw it. It's like when Toonami does April Fools, they just give 'em what they want.
...makes me wonder why they don't do it every night...
LET’S GO!
I can’t believe I was up all night watching every show to the end.
Same
2:00 japanese tom says "you have excellent taste in television" lol
I don't think that's Tom talking but still it was funny. We do have a taste for some good shows!
Danielle Pluzsik I never knew Japan likes CN including Toonami program to only show anime.
I didn't even know that there was a Japanese toonami
in reality,this is the American version of toonami,they only dubbed the bumpers in japanese only on April fools of this year.
Tom 2:I think tom 5 is responsible for hosting toonami
I at least thank Toonami for not skipping Dbs like last year
Basedbrawler At least we’re not in the middle of the Samurai Jack finale.
If they Samurai Jack playing in Japanese audio that would be interesting
Fr I WAS SO FUCKING PISSED
Well technically, it was still March 31st when DB was playing.
Basedbrawler it’s Over bitch
Would have been funny if they showed an American show in Japanese.
yeah [as] missed an opportunity there
timmy3069 maybe next year
Lol right xD
Simok1234 yeah Subbed Rick & Morty...it's quite a trip
Venture Bros. In Japanese could've been great. xD
My Parents Were Like “What The Hell?” Because They Heard People Speaking In Japanese On My TV
So glad I got to experience this live. I usually go to sleep at around two, but I had to see what they pulled out next. Fun night last night
Seeing subbed anime on Toonami was really a surreal experience.
Now *THIS* explains Jason's and Gill's many trips to Japan😛
This needs to be a regular thing!!! I swear, I would watch toonami if they did this regularly.
Because of this April Fools prank, Toonami deserved this!
Now THIS is something I can TOTALLY get behind.
(No really. This is AWESOME!)
One of the best April Fools days ever.
I really missed Toonami back in the day when it ends at 6am. More anime to watch on tv
Andrew Tran It might get back there. It was 12-3, now where back to 10:30-4am.... so who knows as long as the faithful keep watching
I started Toonami back in 2013 Sword Art Online was the show that introduced me to Toonami
I Think Toonami Just Needs Its Own Channel
I had a blast watching this last night. It was such a wonderful treat. Demarco and Co. outdid themselves this time. It was incredibly well made and came out of nowhere. I genuinely hope they do this again some time.
Thank you! Finally some high-quality video of the bumpers without some 12-year-old filming it with his potato camera.
Well at least we got to see FLCL 2 for April Fools. Which I'll give it some applause 👏👏👏. Best Toonami April Fools day ever
Reagan Riggles Lolol it was actually FLCL 3. 2 would have barely been a joke
Can confirm, was FLCL 3. twitter.com/Clarknova1/status/980305218935099393
FLCL Alternative. Aka S
season 3.
Mind Game was some movie...
Damn, I look away for a couple years and the production value got legit af
MoonStar It's sad that you're not the only one😢😭
Thank you as always Caboose 💪💪💪 much deserved!
"Hantaa Hantaa" rolls off the tongue so much easier than "Hunter Hunter," so I just call it HunterExHunter
5 words
Best April Fools Day Ever!
The one time I don’t watch toonami and game all day I miss this smh
I will forever be sad that I didn't have cable to enjoy this. I can at least find solace though in knowing there's no way they could possibly ever hope to top this.
Have Toonami on twice a week: Once for subbed anime, once for dubbed anime.
That'd kinda defeat the purpose though. Why would people pay cable to watch it on tv subbed when they can watch it ad supported for free in a bunch of other places?
it was a april fools joke. Toonami in Japanese is a joke.
There's just something about watching it live on TV, knowing that other people are watching at the exact same time, that watching online can't replicate.
Technically, Toonami itself is a joke. It had a sneak peek of itself as an April Fools Day joke in 2012. That was the day Toonami returned from the abyss that is canceled TV blocks.
well time to watch more toonami! I love these guys.
Despite preferring dubs for the sake of not having to worry about missing something if I don't read fast enough, I gotta say this was pretty awesome.
Also especially glad I got to experience this first hand since I missed out on the 2012 April Fools way back.
Wow! I can't believe that these are the best bumpers in the history of Adult Swim.
I seriously thought my Costco pizza was messing with my stomach last night because of this.
What toppings did you have to think that?
It was pepperoni, but I ate it a bit too quickly.
Pretty good thats why i record it last night. I DVR it because i was out last NIGHT but i heard good things from Twitter
Julio Oquendo *Why I recorded it.
I got no sleep from this 10/10 never forget.
TOM 5 (CV: Masa Kanome)
SARA (CV: Fusako Shiotani)
*Heisei 30*
Those Cowboy Bebop bumpers give me chills.
And I thought this is [adult swim japan].
This is simply amazing!!
/a/ took over the block
So glad someone uploaded this because it was awesome
I was happy that I didn't miss this! 😆🙌
Thank you for your service.
That night was also a blue moon. Ain't that somethin
Dude the CGI is so beautiful.
I'm actually fine with this prank. It feels not a prank but feels like an actual Japanese broadcast.
Yeah.
Thank you very much for putting this together. Good work!
Fun fact I was in the hosp staying with my aunt and I turned this on and i was so confused I didn't know what to think until I finally googled to find out it was an April fools joke.
Admittedly this the first time I've seen mind game and it was through toonami....wow what a trip
You guys gotta watch Mind Game, it’s very good!
The best one ever! I was watching the meltdown on 4chan alongside teamposting.
Next year 2023 April fools will be on Saturday can’t wait to see what toonami will show
Right but A.S celebrates April Fools on Toonami when it hits Sunday. If that’s the case it would be 2029 by then and I doubt Toonami (Even CN at this point) will make it that long.
This Reminds Me Of When Toonami Used The Japanese Audio Of DBZ For Their Bumpers Back In The Late 90's
Amazing i regret missing it
Damn I can’t believed I missed this!
sydney lowe Why weren't you watching?😅
Luis Murillo I was at a baseball game
Did anybody watch the movie "Mind Game" last night, I did. It was confusing, strange, and wild. I never saw a movie like that in my life, besides "Memento". It was funny though, like near the ending when they were running on the water like wild animals lol. That water scene was the craziest thing I have ever seen in anime.

Luckily, I realized immediately that it was just an intro and stayed up to watch it to its entirety. It was made by the same guys who animated FLCL, so it all made sense in the end.
FLCL is crazy but I think Mind Game is crazier. What did you think of the movie? Memento is another confusing movie. It's a live action movie.
This had been an interesting April Fool's Day gag. :)
I never forgot this moment ever it was awesome.
I hope Toonami does stuff like this more in the future. I'm saying that I want everything subtitled but it would be cool for stand alone movies like Mind Game to be shown in Japanese alongside the dubbed programs.
That night introduced me to Mind Game, one of my all time favorite movies
i missed jojo and hunter x hunter...i'm mad at myself for not staying up
F.A. B. I feel the same pain too.
SAME!!!
LMAO
I watched everything.
@JACK PALERMO I still have most of that night recorded i wish airing anime in Japanese was the normal thing for US TV
This just shows that anime is even weirder than we thought.
Wish I could have stayed up late enough to watch Cowboy Bebop subbed. Oh well. I own it on DVD.
Damn it I thought they were going to do this since April fools landed on a Toonami night and I missed it.
I SWEAR TO GOD TOONAMI THE BEST THEME MUSIC ALL THEY BEATS BE FIRE IF You DONT THINK SO YOU CANT HEAR .DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THESE NEW TOONAMI BEATS?? whats the beat at 2:54? when the girl is laughing?
I stayed up last night just to hear T.O.M. speak Japanese. I knew someone would record this.
Gee, I never knew Toonami aired anime shows in original Japanese language with English subtitles on April Fools' Day and also, the [adult swim] logo is in Japanese.
Naminski Dragon Ball Super, DBZ Kai and Black Clover were the only dubbed and after that is subbed which is pretty cool to see what Toonami was subbed all day
I hope Toonami will air Sailor Moon Crystal on [adult swim] in the future.
JoJo & HunterXHunxter continued where they left off but in Japanese.
Naminski No
Gee, i never knew there were people so dumb. they don't air Japanese lang on April first repeatedly each year. "I never knew Toonami aired anime shows in original Japanese language with English subtitles on April Fools' Day " learn please.
This is by far my favorite April Fools prank. I had the whole night set to record on DVR, but unfortunately my DVR didn't record anything but Scavengers.... :(
Beautiful
Staying up late watching mind games on my phone. Bro, what a night.
Thanks for this, I only caught Cowboy Bebop last night.
havent seen any anime that was subbed only since the old days of the 90's when it premiered robot carnival , vampire hunter d & twilight of the cockroaches!
not to mention when SciFi channel first premiered akira and the tenchi movies in the late 80's!
Adult swim toonami is pretty nostalgic for me 😊😊😊 I have so much nostalgia with adult swim toonami
Still top 3 April fool’s jokes of all time!
Holy shiiiiit they didnt troll us this time, they just got the japanese dub and added a few new shows
Yo dawg, I heard you like P Brothers!
You're the best MVP man. thanks for posting these for us!
Thanks for sparing me the trouble in finding them all!
the voice actor was steve blum but how many shows did he do ?
CabooseJr will next week line up be re airing this weeks episodes in English dub
Fuck yes I love P Brothers
Hearing Showstoppers Part 2 and I.D.S.T. again was the best part
I prefer this honestly

We need more of this.
The time I miss toonami is the one time they put on anime in Japanese....
Sugoi! For this April Fools day, all bumpers Japanese titled and dubbed. The programs are also in Japanese?
Agustín Gómez this i want to know as well
Yes!
The commercials weren't in Japanese.
I think it’s the first time they ever showed Japanese dubbed anime on Toonami
Yep, everything after midnight Eastern Time was Japanese dub and English sub. They showed a preview of FLCL Alternative (Fooly Cooly in English), which isn't even out in Japan yet and premieres on Toonami in September.
Edit: My bad, FLCL Season 3 is Alternative, not Progressive.
All P Brothers, All Night
Man, cant believe I missed this.
They took advantage and played shows that never got dubbed. Thats pretty cool.
Eureka Shows that never got dubbed?🤔 Please explain.
Cant believe I missed this, I was at the casinos last night
Well April Fools day is a Saturday this year. So what do they have in store for us this year?
2:38
That says "JuJu's Bizarre Adventure"
See you next year, when Toonami will once again do its April Fools’ event.
Legendary.
...That explains a few things.
The best.
I love it!!!
*BEST APRIL FOOLS NIGHT EVER*
Same here.
It was interesting for sure.
This was clever. The only I had with it is that I had to miss Hunter x Hunter and now I have to wait another week for a new episode
Man, I’m mad that I missed this. Would have loved to have seen a preview for the new season of FLCL.
We know about that April Fools prank from 2012, but does anyone remember last year's April Fools? That one really frustrated me coming from a Samurai Jack and Dragon Ball fan.
Subbed anime on television. Never thought I'd see the day.
Toonami 2018 al 2020 lo mejor programa anime
Fun Fact: the Japanese VA for TOM voices Cowboy Bebop, in conjunction to the English TOM who also is Cowboy Bebop.
Japanese T.O.M. did not sound like Koichi Yamadera
ROGER ROGER
Process them.
OH MY GOD! they actually switched from English to Japanese. Damn Toonami, you sure know how to pull a prank on April fools
