Things I've been around for in my lifetime: Year 1 of RUclips A black president Move from textbooks to digital learning The Premiere of Toonami on Cartoon Network
I couldn’t remember this one but then seeing a couple of anime scenes in this broadcast started to make me have flashbacks a little bit I remember bits and pieces of this toonami broadcast it’s amazing I can even still remember it
I was 12 when Toonami came to be and completely changed my knowledge of what animation could do and be. Most excellent Toonami!!!! Congrats on 25 years!!!
The older dubs of those movies and early DBZ was the Ocean Dub I believe, and while I don't always love the edits to episodes they made, the voice acting was phenomenal.
@@crazymexicandude92 Absolutely not. I'm referring to before the recastings, and those first three movies used the original Japanese score instead of whatever Funimation thought was "hip" with the kids at the time.
i like to believe that Toonami is what truly brought anime to the American viewer and jumpstarted what we have today in anime. Pre-toonami, it wasnt as main stream as the only way you could really view any anime was by buying the VHS at stores/renting or finding it on some late night random channel that happened to show it. But then when toonami came out and they started releasing shows like Sailormoon, DBZ, Gundam and such. Kids/adults really got a chance to see what anime had to offer which then made it more mainstream for everyone to view and enjoy. I remember going to school the day after toonami released a bunch of their shows and all the kids at school were talking about them. While some had seen 1-2, many had never seen alot of them and really enjoyed them all. So to me they are the ones that truly pioneered these shows and now you have anime every where due to them. Without this we probably would not have as much or even have some of the great series that we have today. I do still hope one day, toonami is able to create there own streaming service so that those of us who dont have cable anymore can watch many of the great shows that are released and see TOM and Sara again. As i know i would subscribe to that service in a heart beat to watch a good midnight run on saturday with my own son now to see Tom and sara also for a younger generation.
Robots, Teamwork, Dreams, but it's something about Mad Rhetoric I'll love as my favorite. It's effective, persuasive and the speech punches the heart and soul. Happy 25th Anniversary Toonami 💖
@@taylorh.3484 dude...ronin warriors was my first anime experience WAAYYY back when I was a kid. Even now, seeing a clip of it gives me a hard case of "the feels".
@@lynnmckenney1987 I vaguely remember seeing that show when I was less than 10 during the early 90s. I fell in love with that show when it returned and went on Toonami.
I'm sorry you have to see this but I'm gonna gush here for a moment... This brings back so many happy memories for me. If it wasn't for Cartoon Network, Toonami and Adult Swim, I seriously don't know if I would have taken interest in anime, and if I did it would have been later in life and my childhood would not have been as good. Back then there was no Crunchyroll or VRV or HIDIVE. As a company Funimation was in it's infancy, as was the Internet which I didn't have until 98 or 99. Point being, Toonami was all I had. They had the first season of Pokemon on Kids' WB, but Toonami was where the real action was at. The comfort and joy these shows brought me is inexplicable and they helped mold the man I am today. DBZ, Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, and everything that followed (even introducing me to Daft Punk and the Gorillaz during the Toonami "Midnight Run" in August of 2001, before they were popular or it was cool to like them). I was 6 when you started in 97, I'm 31 now. Safe to say you left a lasting impression on me lol. Thank you Toonami, TOM and SARA and everyone involved, because believe it or not you are and have always been a huge and important part of my life. Congrats on the big 25. Here's to 50 🍻🍻🍻
You can still feel the love those people had for anime all those years ago. These promos are simply excellent. They, along with the shows themselves, made Toonami what it was/is.
This takes me back, whomever put this trailer together with the choice clips, the lines from each show, and the bangin' track sparked the fire for interest in anime in hundreds of thousands of teens in the early 2000's.
I have recently discovered your channel and it has brought back some fond memories, The Broken Promise remaster got me right in the feels. I appreciate your work. Thank you 🖖
this is easily the best toonami bumper in existence, i remember krillin saying "come on" like its the early 2000's again, also the "if we fail, we have no future"
For some reason that "tokyo tokyo" in a sing song voice has stuck in my head all these years and i couldn't remember where it was from till re-watching this promo. Man those where good times.
Ah so many memories getting home early to watch toonami when I got home from school or watching adult swim on my parents small tv since I couldn't have a tv in my room at the time.
my favorite part of my childhood is wondering late at night and turning CN on just to stumble onto a random anime and enjoying it with zero context on whats going on, it was just the coolest. thanks, toonami
as far as im concerned, inuyasha was just a cat guy hopping through portals swinging a sword screaming "wind scar" XD. you've put my thoughts into word precisely
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffe
Outlaw Star Cowboy Bebop DBZ Gundam Wing Big O Neon Genesis Evangelion Wolf's Rain Trigun Space Dandy It legit warms my heart to see it continue. One day, my child will have fond memories.
Space dandy def did not exist back then lmao and Eva only showed up like twice on toonami in those days all cut and edited up(was it called ..big robot week or something)
Toonami has come a very long ways. I remember being glued to the tube when it came on. Still catch it every Saturday night. Keep the bumpers coming. Happy 25th an many more ✌️
I miss classic toonami. It absolutely is the one programming block that sparked my love of anime. Despite growing up watching dragon ball and sailor moon way back, Toonami is what really showed me what anime was all about.
2:05 The combination of the isosceles stance, him wearing no body armor, and his eye being drawn as dull (indicating dissociation from the outcome of what's happening, but not a lack of focus) sears this image into my mind.
I spent quite some time like 20 years ago trying to identify the song played in this short on that era’s nascent modern internet. What a time and I miss it sometimes. “Walking Stick” by Joe Boyd Vigil. Thanks for the memories!
The DBZ clips of "Dead Zone" and "Tree of Might" featured here look better than the official blu-ray releases. I need whoever remastered these old promo bumps to remaster, and re-release the old DBZ movies haha
I remember thinking Gundam Wing was cool but then I saw the UC stuff in 2001. Watching 08th MS Team at midnight was awesome and over 20 years later I still love Gundam (I'm downloading Japanese PS3 ISOs at 2 am right now). My other username actually uses Shiro's last name (as well as Gene's from OS)
The part with that guy from Outlaw Star saying "That's the attitude that's tickin' people off!" should be changed to the unedited "pissin' people off" since it has the AS logo.
Still surprised they got away with showing Blue Sub 6 all those years ago and made a big deal about it too! Ah the good old days when any anime was freakin awesome
I dont think enough credit has ever been given for the amazing people who did the editing and music for Toonami to create these wonderful vibes giving me Goosebumps even as I write this :D
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, and Outlaw Star started my interest in anime. It's why they're still the top of my list.
I just realized that Blue Submarine No. 6 was in the promo too. Toonami really birthed a generation of anime fans.
DBZ started it for me, Outlaw Star and Blue Sub No. 6 were among my favorites, though.
samesies! also probably what got me into scifi so much !

It’s good to see that Toonami meant so much to so many, and that these promos stuck with us for so many years. Here’s to many more!
I couldn’t remember this one but then seeing a couple of anime scenes in this broadcast started to make me have flashbacks a little bit I remember bits and pieces of this toonami broadcast it’s amazing I can even still remember it
Toonami was life.
Seriously just bought the Outlaw Star season 1 on apple store
Nostalgia in its finest.
Well said long live 1989 kids
Failure is not an option.
Let me repeat that.
If this mission fails,
If we are unsuccessful,
We have no future.
I’m 29 and Toonami has had such a big impact on my life. I don’t know where I’d be without it
Same and 100% I doubt many of us would look at the world the way we do without it.
they definately helped turned me into a dark broody adult :O anime hero style HEERO YUY
probably a CEO of a company you started. 😂
That Krillin "Come on!" 😭😭😭
CONGRATS ON THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY IM GLAD THAT YALL STILL HAVE TOONAMI GOIN'
Exactly
Thank god for real entertainment
LLT
Man, this promo is burned into my memories forever.
Yep. THIS is the one Toonami promo I remember clearly above all others.
Yeah, this was the one for me. Took me forever to find this, when did it air? 2003 - 2004?
This was so dope back in the day.
"You just gonna keep running away?"
"Just keep running away?
...
...
I'm not running."
That one was called
“Broken Promises”
“Just gonna keep running away?… I’m not running”
I was 12 when Toonami came to be and completely changed my knowledge of what animation could do and be. Most excellent Toonami!!!! Congrats on 25 years!!!
This was the stuff that raised me
same.
Loved the Friday night specials like Endless Waltz and Dead Zone. The one night I knew I could watch Toonami and didn’t have to worry about homework
Now you gotta worry about work, your wife and kids
Rising Sun on Saturdays is still the s@&#.
Or parents lol
"Nothing good can ever come from staying with normal people"
- Harry MacDougall.
I still relate to that epic quote!
Me too!
I still remember this exact outlaw star episode 👍
Outlaw Star had tons of epic quotes along those same lines. I own the series. Never forgot the "Dreams" montage. Very inspirational
I mean, Harry was a mentally unstable, murdering cyborg psychopath, but yeah, he was right
harry macdougall was low key one of the best characters in that series.
"Well, it's just like it is with the stars: There are bright ones and there are those that are dim."
It cannot be understated just how much better the casting was in the English version of those early Dragon Ball movies back then.
Agreed. The voices fit the characters so much better
The older dubs of those movies and early DBZ was the Ocean Dub I believe, and while I don't always love the edits to episodes they made, the voice acting was phenomenal.
@@Aeronor2001 The Pioneer versions of the first three movies really gave us a taste of "what could have been."
Don’t forget about the awesome music tracks they put on Broly and Lord Slug.

"yeah whatever"
"That's what I mean that's the attitude that's ticking people off"
honestly i thought those lines where from the same anime
Remember recording these on VHS tapes as a kid.
🤣🤣🤣 same childhood was great!
Robots, Teamwork, Dreams, but it's something about Mad Rhetoric I'll love as my favorite. It's effective, persuasive and the speech punches the heart and soul. Happy 25th Anniversary Toonami 💖
‘Space Is the Place’ is awesome too.
Dreams is the best. Mad Rhetoric is second best to me.
Outlaw Star started my fall into anime. Then Bebop after…. Ugh… my nostalgia.
😁
ahh the good old days... whatever the hell happened to 'em? oh, wait we grew up. damnit.
Ronin Warriors and Dragonball for me.

Maaan this goes hard af
I feel lucky to have experienced this
For some reason that "tokyo tokyo" in a sing song voice has stuck in my head all these years and i couldn't remember where it was from till re-watching this promo. Man those where good times.
The audio clip itself is from the first episode of Tenchi in Tokyo, when Tenchi gets off the train.
These promos are what got me into AMV when youtube became a thing.
When Toonami segments had that "Food for Thought" style to it. Gods, I miss the good old days...
Arguably the best era of Cartoon Network and also arguably the best commercial ever made, Tom was and is awesome.
THE GOOSEBUMPS! THE NOSTALGIA!
Watching Toonami promos in my 30s still get my excited.
So much nostalgia in these... I can't help smiling, watching and listening to this again. Such underrated talent.
Thank you Toonami. You opened an entire generation up to the wonders of Anime. We love you for it.
Amen
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES
Just turned 28, and memory of this promo has been stuck in my head for more than two decades. Words can’t describe how I felt watching this again
U took the words out of my mouth and I turned 27 July 3rd of last year
The amount of back and forth between 16:9 and 4:3 mesmerized me haha
1.85:1 and 1.33:1 aspect ratios.
They’re the best anime that Toonami and Adult Swim has to offer.
Ah so many memories getting home early to watch toonami when I got home from school or watching adult swim on my parents small tv since I couldn't have a tv in my room at the time.
Toonami gave us so much when we were growing up. I'm glad it's still here.
Whoever was in charge of editing/making these ads needs to be brought back ❤

I know exactly what you mean.
I rewatch Outlaw Star every year around fall since I first saw it on Toonami as a kid.
Long live the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire!
I just turned 30 last month and the feeling I get from these videos is so unreal. It's seems as if this time of life is so close but far away
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffe
What does this have to do with reviewing the video?
Congrats on 25 years! Toonami had such an impact on me growing up. I’m so glad younger generations can enjoy it now too.
Bravo, SlimD716!
This loop lives rent free in my brain... especially that "be very careful" line
I still think of these old promos from time to time.
Outlaw Star
Cowboy Bebop
DBZ
Gundam Wing
Big O
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Wolf's Rain
Trigun
Space Dandy
It legit warms my heart to see it continue. One day, my child will have fond memories.

Toonami holds such a special place in my heart. Watching this old clip literally makes it ache for some reason, I wish I understood why
22 years later man, time flew by. 30 years old now, but I will never forget how badass this was and how much it captivated me as a kid.
Yup. I got chills so hard, my skin almost ripped itself off my body. Nostalgia overload
Love this one. Highlights the villains and some of their motivations, mixed with a lot of action and smooth editing.
shaped my youth
Toonami managed to reach the stars and has gone further.

Still surprised they got away with showing Blue Sub 6 all those years ago and made a big deal about it too! Ah the good old days when any anime was freakin awesome
Nostalgia like Heroin
Man I do miss the mid-late 90's early 2000'S such a good anime line up. Cowboy bebop,Outlaw star wolfs rain,big o gundam wing and so much more.
I dont think enough credit has ever been given for the amazing people who did the editing and music for Toonami to create these wonderful vibes giving me Goosebumps even as I write this :D
These were so good. They made it feel like it was cool to watch anime in a time when it was a niche hobby.
Toonami is my childhood that made my love for anime thrive! Thanks for posting!
The remastered animation looks incredible!
25 years of youth. Don’t make me cry.
I remember those elementary school weekends. Staying up late watching Toonami: Midnight Run and then waking up on Saturday to catch Rising Sun
I remember watching this with my big brother on the OLD weekday schedule. The 5 to 7 time slot good times
man this takes me back
It's crazy this started when I was 5 years old. I actually might've started watching when it first came to CN.
See you tomorrow for the 2-Part Toonami Total Immersion Event The Return You guys.
The *best* of your videos! I still love this after 20 years!
The love outlaw star received in this is awesome!
Whoever made these needs the medal of freedom
Beautiful
