While I think it would be cool to see this new Toonami block be a way to air older anime on TV that never got a chance previously (& I'm just glad to see someone bring up B't X), it does feel like this block is aimed precisely towards airing shows that were on Toonami back in the day, even if it's in a "new" form (a la DBZ Kai & the uncut Sailor Moon dub), so I don't see it happening. Maybe if the block does well enough to warrant possibly expanding in some form, though. |

They still managed somehow to air an unedited episode of Outlaw Star and I think Tenchi on the block ooops.
[record scratch] We are not about to be disrespecting the Real Adventures of Johnny Quest up in here. Especially funny considering the 80’s reboot that gets glossed over,
Tough not being able to stay up late on a Saturday. And I say this even while vividly remember dozing off to sleep right before Yu Yu Hakusho debuted on adult swim and being pissed and I think the following weekend I missed episode 2 eventhough wasn’t asleep for that one

Oh yeah and I agreed, I think that should also be added to the list too. I almost forgot that anime was released on blu-ray courtesy of Discotek (in native 1080p HD of course) a few years back. And given that Discotek is handling IGPX remastered which was recently re-broadcasted on Toonami. Maybe CN and Discotek can negotiate to see if any of Discotek's classic catalog can be given green light for Toonami Rewind broadcast. I mean I mentioned Star Ocean EX, and Flame of Recca on my previous post. I wouldn't mind seeing Fatal Fury OVAs, and Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture to be broadcasted on there. Hell, let's add Street Fighter 2: The Anime movie into the mix. If Toonami Rewind is able to broadcast Gunbuster OVA too (given that it's gotten both a HD release and a new English dub) in that line-up, that would make Toonami Rewind more valuable. And given that Digimon: The Movie and it's uncut material that will be getting both an HD release and a new English dub for the uncut material, it would be awesome if Discotek can get this on Toonami Rewind. I would also love to see Toonami Rewind to broadcast Aura Battler Dunbine (reminder: the anime does have an English dub recorded back in early 2000's), and Gatchaman (Toonami already broadcasted the show under it's other name: G-Force: Guardian of Space). Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing Fafner being broadcasted on Toonami Rewind given that it was never shown on Adult Swim or Toonami back when it was released in 2006/2007 on home video, but it since then has been given HD up-conversion on Blu-ray release and it already has an English dub, so in my eyes and by today's standard, it's retro and I considered it as Toonami Rewind material. So why not give Fafner the broadcast it deserves. That's my wish list for an excellent Toonami Rewind line-up.
Hey, it's a dream, so don't take it that seriously. Although I do see some people thinking almost like I do when it comes to broadcasting older retro anime that never got chance to be shown on Toonami back in the day like this user on Reddit mentioned wanting to see Escaflowne, and Slayers on Toonami Rewind given that both of them were outbidded and broadcasted on Fox (well Slayers was going to be originally broadcasted on Fox Kids, but Fox's Standard & Practices forbid it and ended up on International Channel), and Escaflowne's Fox Kid broadcast didn't go too well. So I do agree that both Slayers and Escaflowne could've done way better if they were on Toonami and not on Fox Kids. But hey, it's not too late Escaflowne has already been released on blu-ray and the Ocean Group dub is still there, so why not take advantage of having Escaflowne on Toonami Rewind. That could really make up for the bad Fox Kid edit and broadcast. |

Toonami is how I found ANN, via looking up things and finding The Edit List and seeing all the stuff I was missing as the show was airing. What a wonderful trip own memory lane.
The interview that was done with Jason DeMarco helps bolster the idea that the people at Toonami genuinely, truly loved anime and worked very hard to make sure you thought it was just as cool as they did. |

I, like many others at the time, lived for Toonami. A lot of people didn't have internet and if they did, it was through a dial up modem that took days just to download 1 song.
I'll probably watch an episode or 2 of Sailor Moon just for the nostalgia factor, even though it's not the DIC dub that was there during my youth. Toonami and my days running home from school to watch Sailor Moon on 44 Cable 12 (which later became a UPN affiliate) was an important part of my childhood and what got me into anime. I definitely wouldn't have the collection that I have had I not seen alternative animation styles on TV. |

@BeeDubsProwl: "Look, they don't have the space to air twenty episodes of DBZ a week anymore, that would eat into valuable Teen Titans Go time. So they gotta go with the version that takes up less room."
Technically, they don't air TTG as much as they used to now; they don't even air it on Sundays anymore |
