History Of Toonami Part 3 #ToonamisBackBitches

It had been about 3 years since toonami had ended. Anime fans had been deprived of their content. Companies like Funimation who dubbed animes tried running their own independent channels for their anime, but to no avail. Even online television channels made by fans with anime playing 24/7 and a library of thousands of episodes of hundred of animes. Still nothing came close to the glory days of Toonami.

Then one night on April 1^st people tuned in for their Saturday night adult swim cartoons. And rite as the clock struck midnight the channel went dark. Suddenly the opening to The Room began to play. And then after going to black again it began. T.O.M. was seen again in all his glory. Tonight after 3 years everyone would get back a taste of their childhood.

Now this is originally intended as a April Fools joke, according to Cartoon Network and Adult Swim on a post they made as it started airing. But as if it had been advertised for months, word started spreading around the internet and people everywhere were tuning in and tweeting. It was as if Toonami never went anywhere. At the end of the stream Adult Swim asked its audiencek, “Want it back? Let us know. #BringBackToonami” And so for weeks people would tweet begging for it to come back and Adult Swim would run friendly updates every night between commercial breaks.

They had set the internet ablaze once again. Everywhere you looked their were youtube vides, tributes, blog posts, even a rap song about bringing it back, which would be endorsed by Adult Swim. And after almost a month, on May 16^th it happened. Adult Swim had a press conference and announced on social media the official revival on Toonami as of May 26^th. And thus throughout the internet screams of joy were heard from every corner and as the official hash tag stated by Adult Swim was seen everywhere #ToonamisBackBitches.

 

Toonami would relaunch in full succession. Originally with a smaller lineup but would expand to add everyone’s favorite classics and new hits that Toonami faithful enjoyed. In only a few months Toonami would return to it’s original midnight run status. And almost year later they’re running stronger then ever. Toonami’s look as been redesigned once again, it has a great programming line up and is set to launch English dubs of extremely popular and long awaited shows such as the English dub of Sword Art Online. This news came recently out a Anime Boston and is sure to boast Toonami viewership even more with the exclusivity to air one of the most popular animes in years.

And so after reading all these posts, I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about Toonami and may be watching it yourself now. As for me I’ll continue to support it as long as it exists. All I got to say is to all you Toonami faithful reading this. Stay Gold.
