And this is the first time Sailor Moon aired on CN in an uncut fashion (or as uncut as can possbly be done, as I bet some scenes were cut to make room for commercials).
@@ianbabcock6802 Si. The last two weeks Sailor Moon aired on network TV (before 2024) coincided with the September 11 attacks. It was playing on Nickelodeon though. Don't ask me why a kids network was playing live news reels of *that* (especially when every other channel was also airing the same live coverage). 12 year old me was *furious*. Maybe a good thing since I was too incensed to realize what a tragedy 9/11 was until a couple years later.
I wasn't expecting the original Japanese opening for Sailor Moon and for it to be textless too 😮 i didn't expect them to air Sailor Moon either 😮 thank you for recording this
Much like how I remember the analogue/antenna/bunny-ears shut down in February 2012, much like how Toon Disney/Jetix/Playhouse Disney was shut down back in February 2009, much like how the Disney channel shut down two years prior in 2021, and now, Cartoon Network, after being on the air for nearly 31 and a half years since October 1992, is now shutting down...Gees, Television is really struggling to get people to watch their content. Considering I had a vision a decade and two years ago about doing streamed/online movie theater like experiences of new movies released to the public but aired live on RUclips behind some paywall of $8.00 or $10.00 to watch the video, albeit it has a hidden watermark to make sure those who pirate it would have the watermark there. It was an idea I had back in the day to say, instead of going to the movie theaters, you would watch it back in say 2012/2013 to watch the movies released into theaters on RUclips through livestreamed and having the videos unlisted or private to avoid others reuploading or streaming the content....But oh well, and now streaming services are like Television all over again, but I personally would only need CBS, NBC, and ABC for the TV channels and that's about it. Every other channel to me is just an extra I don't need in my life.
I’m disappointed they didn’t make a unique Toonami intro like they had back in the day. Those old intros kicked ass! But seeing the original Japanese intro on live TV is cool in its own way too, and having Sailor Moon back on Cartoon Network period is still pretty epic.
There's a Sailor Moon Channel that plays all 200 episodes, the movies and all 39 episodes of Sailor Moon Crystal on repeat (Original Japanese with Subtitles). It's awesome that there's a whole Channel that only plays Sailor Moon (even though it's digital) but I know it doesn't hit as hard in the feels as seeing it on Cartoon Network.
@@luigi57968 I’m aware, I should have worded that differently in hindsight. I was just hyped up knowing that the same network that introduced me to the show as a kid was showing it again after all these years.
@dabrams84 it's probably one of those smart TV channels you get for free with your TV. Sometimes they'll straight up just stream episodes from crunchyroll
Technically, it’s the series first time on Toonami since the late 90’s. When it first aired on the network, the show was more kid friendly dubbed by a company called DiC & their version is heavily censored.
@@Bmanritchie Not really. The first incarnation of TOM, TOM1, was voiced by Sonny Strait (best known as the voice of Krillin in Dragonball Z). Steve Blum didn't start voicing TOM until TOM2's debut in episode 4 of The Intruder event.
I was at Colossalcon while this was going on. Watching this in the room with a bunch of fellow anime nerds. That was actually an insane way to start off both the convention itself and the Toonami Rewind block.
I miss having cable TV, at least Sailor Moon is Not shown in a poorly stretched display since its older show (I'm looking at you Checkered Past, You can do a better job than that). FYI, Checkered Past is still going from Monday - Thursday nights. Friday nights are Toonami Rewind.
Toonami block always air their shows in the correct aspect ratio. The show runner talked about getting in a pointless argument with Adult Swim about them wanting to air Stand Alone Complex cropped.
It’s glad to see our favorite pretty guardian in a sailor suit return… on Toonami Rewind, that is! I can tell this is from the 1st season of Sailor Moon
@@KimRodriguez-zr1su It is, as the episode partially shown is the very first episode of the first series (the original Sailor Moon anime had five series, Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S, Sailor Moon SuperS, and Sailor Moon Sailor Stars), which basically act like what American TV shows call seasons.
Toonami Rewind is taking anime fans back to the days of analog television ( the switch to digital television here in the US took place at midnight on June 12, 2009). Does anyone know what the date was that Japan made the switch to digital TV?
the switch started on july 24, 2011, but was delayed in regions that were affected by the tohoku earthquake until march 31, 2012. japan wasn’t digital in 1989, you can see in the top right corner of broadcasts the word アナログ, which means “analog”, when the switch occurred, many tv stations changed their letters to match, from joax tv to joax Dtv, signifying the “Digital” switch
@@MegaKirb1989 is the year Japan’s public broadcaster NHK first tested digital broadcasting in the country. In 2003 December, well known TV broadcaster in Japan started digital broadcasting alongside analog broadcasting.(There is a video uploaded on RUclips celebrating the start of digital broadcasting in 2003) At the same time in 2003, Japan Broadcasting Committee announced that the Analog Broadcasting will end its service in 2011 July 24 which leads to 8 years of transitioning period. The letter アナログ known as “Analog” appeared on the TV around 2009 to promote the viewers to switch TVs that are capable of airing Digital broadcasting so before that the letter didn’t even show up on TV. Like what you said 2011 July 24, Japan ended the analog broadcasting except for Tohoku 3 prefectures. So technically Japan started airing digitally in 2003. Switching only to Digital was in 2011.
I remember racing home after school just to watcy toonami. Tom nailed it. Thanks for the upload. Maybe more people will fo back to cable because of this.
kids today are lucky they can see this show on tv. back when I got into sailor moon I could only find scattered subbed eps on RUclips.. glad they have the uncensored dub too so they can experience the show the way it was meant to be experienced.
2:58 Seeing this commercial on Inside Out 2 getting a McDonald's Happy Meal sponsoring is hardly any different when the first Inside Out movie got a sponsoring from a Subway Kids Meal commercial.
It’s odd. By the end of the 2010s, the movie studios reverted back to having their animated films be sponsored by McDonalds. I still remember when Ratatouille was still new, Disney and Pixar distanced themselves from all fast food.
Ah yes, the good old Toonami block, I'm glad they decided to bring th e old Toonami rebrand by bringing the be loved anime series of all time, Sailor Moon! And not to mention that CN is finally airing the Total Drama reboot on network (finally they decided to air the show in the US although I thought it would air on [AS] but since CN decided to air the show in te us especially because the show is also partnered with BBC in the UK) anyway I actually never used to watch Sailor Moon but I actually used to heard of it but I have to mention the Japanese intro why didn't they put the English one instead of the Japanese?
Kinda wild seeing the Japanese intro. No credits or nothing. With how old Sailor Moon is, I probably would've had second thoughts about watching it as a kid with an intro like that (I sadly was just born a little too late to watch it. That or I only cared about DBZ when it aired since I don't remember ever watching SM). I also completely forgot about the Adult Swim warning before it switches over. It still feels like 5P.M is too early to switch to AS but what do I know?
@@StraightMotionKingYes since 2012, but it's also back to it's original time slot from the late 90's early 2000's, but on Fridays only, at least for now.

It’s weird and some people might not get this but this gives me late 2000s vibe even tho toonami wasn’t on in the late 2000s I watched funimation channel which wass definitely heavily inspired by toonami and adult swim .

@@cyber-thundr_ when was it ever on AS? I've been AS since the very beginning and this is the first time i see sailor moon on AS.
As a kid, I never heard of Toonami, but I have watched _Sailor Moon_ in the mornings before I head off to school. Man, those were the days.
I like how Steve Blum is the voice of the Toonami bot (TOM). It feels fitting that the first thing he pulls up is a classic anime.
The Toonami robot's name is TOM
Always was Blum
@@Bmanritchie Not really. The first incarnation of TOM, TOM1, was voiced by Sonny Strait (best known as the voice of Krillin in Dragonball Z). Steve Blum didn't start voicing TOM until TOM2's debut in episode 4 of The Intruder event.

How was it this year? I really wanted to go!
Back to old school days!
Except Toonami would need to pay extra for copyright to be able to play the original Dragon Ball Z. That's why they're still stuck with Kai.
Hell yeah never have I seen it!

Give it a year. They might copy what were doing here now.
I hope they also bring back Gundam wing with that cool guitar outro and the tenchi series toonami version.
Who knows? Maybe one day, when a show is done, they will switch one out for one of the Gundam series (although SD Gundam will not be on this).
This is nostalgia for me, like watching in 2000's era tv cable again
