I'm actually glad to see Toonami go.

I admit it was also what really got me into anime, although I was interested in anime before it came around.

But the sad thing was it did such an excessive job of editing and chopping up anime. Removing nudity, removing excessive violence, removing entire scenes because they were too indecent for teh children, removing stuff to shorten down the anime so they could add more advertising, and of course removing the intros and endings to shows.

I have no love for that dumb robot.

The final bullet was when Toonami became nothing but Naruto, Gundam, and DBZ reruns. To have sunken that low and that stupid, it needed to be put out of it's misery.

Fare thee well. I knew thee before thee went down the path of the dark side.

Non anime shows on tv suck, I am not surprised that anime on tv sucks. But what is always odd, is that people actually enjoy watching anime on tv in the first place.

Bye Toonami, never watched ya, won't miss ya.


You really have to stop speaking only from YOUR opinion. Or at least use some common sense before you post. You do realize that without anime airing on TV, it wouldn't have been popular in the first place, right? Toonami introduced lots of people into anime, including a portion of people on this site.

And fuck, just because YOU don't enjoy anything on TV doesn't mean others don't. And just because your too biased to look into anything that's not anime doesn't mean it sucks.


Actually he's not the only one that finds it odd to watch anime on tv. This is American [aka edited to high shits] TV we're referring to. Watching anime on American TV is like watching a porno on Sesame Street. Ain't gonna happen without boatloads of editing and chopping and removing some important details. [hint: those aren't fingers they're pointing in Yugi-Oh & Melfina doesn't wear bathing suits]

I don't have Cable so I don't have access to cool shows like Discovery Channel & History (sue me I'm a nerd into Human Weapon, Mythbusters and Bible Battles lol] And yes, anything other than anime kinda sucks for me too so to speak.

Me and shattered flame should open a hate everything but anime club. My friend chronosabre also suffers from 'never watch tv cause it sucks'. I'm guessing there's a notable number of people who don't watch normal tv here.

Gotta admit that i'll miss the old chicken, after gawking at the first episode of DBZ i ever watched as a kid (and trying to repeat said episode with a friend at school :sweat: ) then of course things went downhill but it made a good enough impression on me. Thanks Tom i'm gonna miss ya!

Sooo.... have you watched any anime on tv in the last ten years? I can think of two shows that were badly cut, because they were picked up by 4 kids. that's it, two shows.

Ya know... I can't really complain about the anime shown on G4 (WAS shown...), sci fi channel and if you get the int'l... er asiatv. I know sci fi STILL has animidnight, saw it a few weeks ago. But anyway your just talking about Cartoon Network. It's CARTOON NETWORK for god's sakes!!

I'm old so huhm. I mean, I was 20 when Cowboy Bebop was introduced to prime time TV, old enough to remember anime shown on FOX and ABC!!! ABC slaughtered anime the worse... but than how bad can you really slaughter Cardcaptor (not Sakura) and Digimon.
If you do not think so... you will DIE
