End of an Era-Toonami's final broadcast

I just can't believe it. After 11 years, Cartoon Network finally canceled Toonami. I'm crying as I type this, because this 3 hour block of cartoons after school meant so much to me as a child. Toonami introduced DBZ to the world, and sparked the anime revolution we live in now. It literally defined me as a child. Long before Zion even existed, this was my happy place, aboard the Absolution watching Gundam, Kenshin, YuYu Hakusho, He Man, Transformers, Astro Boy, and everything else. It was so well put together, and it meant to much to how I developed as a human being. Now, after two years of it being thrown around and 95% Naruto shit, its gone.

TOM gave a speech like he used to on their last broadcast, and someone on YouTube made it into what you imagine it would be, instead of the crappy redesign. Enjoy.






In this increasingly commercial TV landscape, Toonami stood for something. There was a lifestyle there, one that was above and beyond.






Goodbye TOM. I will never forget what you did for me personally and for the world that I live in.
