Toonami gave up some good shows like IGPX, yu yu hakusho and Rave Master, but they still are playing shows like (bobo bobo whatever)? The only good shows left on toonami that I still watch is naruto and zatch bell. What is going on Question

I don't think Cartoon Network works just for you. IGPX is on at midnight on Friday (I think) and YYH and Rave Master is on DVD (IE: Buy them). Bo Bobo isn't even done with it's frist run.

-english second language.

Wow!!! You really don't like BoboBoo(I don't know how to spell it.) Cartoon Network mostly have show that are awesome! Accepted Rave MAster, trying to be YU-GI-OH! But it is not that bad after all.

So TV, just play show for everybody. If you asked for Zatch BEll, IT IS THE BOMB!!!!!

I think that YYH, can finally go away......YYH has been on for quite sometime. It's time for Toonami to move on and bring in some new shows, beside YYH was playing like 4 years ago on Toonami. It's going to end up like DBZ (And Bebop) with the repeats and it's time to let it go.....beside Naruto is the future of Toonami.
Till next time,

Uh, no it doesn't.

And D_man, Cartoon Network doesn't cater to you. Do you want to know why your favorite shows got taken off the schedule?

[list=]IGPX was moved to Fridays at midnight because ratings were low.

Yu Yu Hakusho left because... it ended. The show premiered four years ago, it's time had to come at some point.

Rave Master... I don't know, either it ended or failed in the ratings.

The reason Bobobo is still on is because a)it's still showing new episodes and b) it gets good ratings.[/list]

I actually liked to sit down and watch IGPX and unwind with some smooth animation, but I'm fine with taping it. What I still don't get is why Bobobo is still airing on Toonami. I just don't see what is evn remotely appealing about that show. Anyway Naruto gives that all the ratings they could want. Strangely enough, I like the manga but not the anime.

I actually like BoBoBo. I'm not always in the mood for it, but I love the crazy, wacky humor that isn't....you know...R-rated. It's better than almost all of the original Adult Swim shows (I like the anime they show, I like Futurama...but I dislike most, if not all, of their original shows).

I'm glad to see YYH and Rave Master go, I don't care about either of those shows.

Except that YYH barely managed to finish one run. It was originally running on weekdays until they it was moved to the once-a-week slot along with Rurouni Kenshin. They got to near the end of Chapter Black before they inexplicably started over (which is when I said "screw it, I'll get the DVDs someday). It eventually got moved to the 1:00 am "death slot" with little to no advertising or news about it where it apparently actually finished. I don't know if they ever showed reruns for it, but I'm sure they never showed it in its entirety a second time.

Zatch bell is awesome, and Naruto is okay. One piece, however, shouldn't be on twice in one night. Bobobo is good (Monty Python humor). The loss of IGPX is a hard one. Most of all, they should put gigantor on toonami. It used to be on adult swim, but is now gone.

To be honest, I haven't even seen one episode of Bobobo. It just doesn't appeal to me. I have nothing against it mind you, but there's plenty of other stuff on Toonami (and CN in general) that does appeal to me. Different strokes for different folks. I'm pretty sure that the shows that you've come to know and love on CN are despised by others. I doubt that CN would be where it would be if it simply catered to one demographic. And believe me, they have come a long way since the days of Hanna Barbara-esque cartoons that they first showed in the beginning of its inception. Toonami didn't even exist then
