Toonami Returns AKA The Cruelest April Fools Joke of All Time

[Speedball]

Anyone else watching Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network right now? Anyone know if this is going to last all day?

 

[Warhammer]

This is the cruelest joke of all-time. I can't handle this right now.

 

[Soapy]

Cruel, but it's hard to complain too much when Toonami Aftermath exists.

 

[craigdbfan]

This completely caught me off guard. Yeah I knew about April Fools yet was still fooled.

Silly me. Best April Fools prank ever.

Seeing that original DBZ promo complete with Falconer music last night was a thing of beauty, I tells ya.

 

[Warhammer]

I loved the little Tenchi Muyo promo.

"He's got 99 problems and these b****es are the main ones."

 

[craigdbfan]

Yeah I found that pretty funny.

Incredibly clever April Fools joke that was incredibly fun to take part in.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Damn, I missed it. Even though I have every DBZ episode on DVD, it would've been nostalgic to watch it with the Toonami intros.

I haven't seen Gundam Wing in a long time though, would've been nice to see it again.

Very well done Cartoon Network.

 

[craigdbfan]

It was pretty incredible. Nostalgia festival.

[adult swim] posted this on their twitter account:

#BringBackToonami We've heard you. Thank you for your passion and interest - stay tuned.

Man, if this means what I think it means...

 

[craigdbfan]

Oh my gosh. My heart just skipped a beat. If they make this a an every Saturday thing then I'll be beyond grateful to [as].

 

[Brother Jack]

I might have to start watching Adult Swim again if they did this. Toonami was a big part of my formative years, with shows like DBZ, Gundam Wing, and Outlaw Star.

 

[Soapy]

I would absolutely start watching again.

 

[Victarion]

I remember DBZ vs Gundam Wing arguments on the elementary playground.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think they should bring back Toonami as like a mornings and afternoon block. Not like primetime and evenings.

If they did bring back Toonami would you guys want re-runs or newer episodes of shows? Like for example, maybe the next season of Naruto Shippuden now that it's done on Disney? I think things like Tiger and Bunny would be perfect for Toonami especially if you can show things like Young Justice, Thundercats, etc. in the mornings.

Steve Blume posted a video talking about it. Pretty much telling people how to get it trending again on Twitter, but still. I already made a video last night explaining why it would be a great idea.

Here's Blum.

[as] just played a song during one of their bumps dedicated in bringing Toonami back. It's actually a really well made song.

[SymbioticToxin]

But is it just for that one day like last time, or here to stay?

 

[craigdbfan]

It's back back.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Excuse me then, gents, for I have officially soiled my pants with joy. Jolly good. Bully!
