Cartoon Network ends Toonami

[ware4me]

In response to declining viewership, The Cartoon Network ended its Toonami programming block on Saturday, September 20, after 11 years. The Toonami Jetstream online streaming service will reportedly continue. Furthermore, reportedly the Cartoon Network presently has 15 more unaired episodes of Naruto which will air, but the future of the series on the Cartoon Network beyond those 15 episodes is uncertain.

At this past weekend’s Anime Weekend Atlanta convention, Cartoon Network representatives announced that the network is persuing broadcast rights to the 2006 Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z anime television series, based on the American Powerpuff Girls cartoon. Cartoon Network representatives also admitted that the current broadcast of Code Geass “is not doing well at all”. More at: gaijINside (http://www.gaijinside.com/live-from-anime-weekend-atlanta/)

of course, people hate English dubs, and naruto and CG are some of the worst..... Believe IT!!!!!!

[ware4me]

Oh, I do believe it :lol:

I think Toonami ended in latin america last year or even before, it aired at midnight, it was a bad time to watch the TV >.>

Now they air a similar block with old series like DB GT or Rave Master.

"Believe It"

if you ever watched a naruto dub you understand my pain when you here the phrase... Believe It!!!

[LittleVexy]

Does that means Bleach is gone too??? They were also begun airing Guardian of the Sacred Spirit (Seirei No Moribito)... Thank god I have DVD fansubs, but still.. are they ending that too?

[Zer0]

Seirei No Moribito, aahh that was a good show, still i need to finish the last 2 episodes.

[Arachnaboy]

Code Geass “is not doing well at all”.

So this explains their mean airing times.

[ware4me]

Well, it seems anime will be gone for sometime in CN, and about Naruto, the same happens in the spanish dub with that "Believe it!"

Just downloaded Naruto after weeks and weeks, 4me will start watching it and skip fillers :lol:

[Zer0]

fillers = 200+ episodes but some of them where really funny

[senel]

only fillers you need to watch
hinata awakening, shino laughing, gaara's student rescue.

[ware4me]

Oh... cool, i hate those recap episodes >.<

Thanks :)

W-what?! :eek: I'm shocked! To be fair, I haven't watched Toonami in a year or two, but I had no idea the ratings were so low. I would have expected the ratings to be higher than ever, seeing how anime is getting more popular all the time (or at least it seems to be), plus they've had a lot of good shows on like Death Note and Code Geass. Maybe nobody likes English dubs after all... :lol:

[ware4me]

Well, Stuey watching it every couple of years is a good reason the rating was so low :lol:

[Arachnaboy]

They will still have Adult Swim though right? Adult Swim had Cowboy Bebop and Code Geass, so I'm okay as long as they keep those animes.

[ware4me]

Oh, adult swim was a total bust down here, they never aired anime, theyjust aired strange programs... i did like Robot Chicken or Chicken Robot :eek:

Really? Where do you live? In the US Adult Swim had anime all the time. Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Lupin the 3rd, Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin, just to name a few. Adult Swim was really the thing that got me into anime, it just sucks that they have gotten rid of most of the stuff they used to show...

[ware4me]

Oh... YuYuHakusho is so good, i'm downloading it right now :p
*4me is in a land of nowhere* x.x

[LittleVexy]

Robot Chicken for the win!! :3:

[stukasa]

Well, Stuey watching it every couple of years is a good reason the rating was so low :lol:
Hey, don't blame me for Toonami's low ratings! :prop:

[ware4me]

Stuey kicked Toonami out of business! :helphelp:

[senel]

stuey ish a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad girl.

[stukasa]

Suddenly everyone is blaming me for getting Toonami canceled? T.T I didn't realize I had such great power! *starts scheming*

[ware4me]

Stuey has the power! :3:

So... what aired the last weekend? :confused:

[Arachnaboy]

They still aired Naruto and Bleach but no Code Geass.
