So where have they been up until now then? What good is raising the dead if all you're going to do is starve it to death again? Some sick pleasure? Good luck with that.

I just have one Questoin...WHY ISN'T THIS HAPPENING HERE!

I mean Turner has more then a large enough backlog of Action cartoons & Anime to do so...right!?

Hmm, Maybe they could re-brand Boomerang like Disney did with ToonDisney afew years back.....

But ahh yeah.... I am jealous now. Hopefully this will convince CN/AS in the states to at the very least give Toonami ALL of Saturday night.

Yes someone spread a rumor on the Toonzone forums back on April 1 that Cartoon Network is lanuching a Toonami Network here replacing Boomerang. I ask them that question but it was discsion not made by a top excutive and they are still in the process in approving it here, It's not 100% of a prank.

Here's the link

If you asked the person who posted the prank, then I wouldn't put to much weight on it.

A Toonami channel replacing Boomerang is still a good idea though. Smile

It's not happening here because Cartoon Network has very little tolerance for action programming. Toonami only came back because Williams Street saw potential for rebranding ASA to something more recognizable and have some fun with their anime line-up again.

We don't even get weekday reruns of Young Justice. That's downright criminal. If you want to see an action cartoon that isn't Pokemon, Beyblade or NinjaGo you're ish outta luck unless it's Saturday or Sunday morning. They've even jetisoned The Clone Wars to Saturday morning premieres after 4 years in prime time. Boomerang shows a bit more love to action animation but it's far from rebranding to a Toonami channel.

Until CN is run by different people, action animation will not get its' due. Hopefully the next guy sees more value in action animation.

As for giving Toonami all of Saturday night? Not with the low ratings it's getting lately. They had a decent claim for those hours when ASA was doing well last year but Toonami's ratings are getting increasingly worse so far.


It will. Boomerang has been around since 2000, but in recent years the ratings have been taking it's toll overall in the network and to make them better than Nickelodeon and Disney. We don't know when it will lanuch here but it will sure be reported soon.

GOOD. It goes to show that unless you put out a quality product, you reap what you sow.

Instead of giving us the crap lineup and reairing tired old shows, they should've sprung for shows that people want and give it a good healthy budget from the get go.

Of course, the failures will only mean that some low level idiot will take the blame while the higher ups will wash their hands of the matter despite the fact they are partially, if not wholly to blame.

That's why Cowboy Bebop got cancelled after 11 years of it's run on ASA, and even though they like it after season one get's done in it's recent repeat Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex will get cancelled.

I know reruns are annoying, it can be tireing, but if we can get hit anime propites back on air (like Sailor Moon) maybe a series can get good home video sales.
