The night of March 30, 2012- the wee hours of April 1, 2012, Cartoon Network gave the second greatest gift a 90's kid could ask for: they brought back Toonami, complete with TOM, for a night. They showed almost every old anime they used to: Dragonball Z, Tenchi Muyo, Gundam, Big O, Outlaw Star, etc. The night was epic, and I cried and screamed so many times, you'd think Papa Roach was performing at Wrestlemania with Hyde and Synyster Gates at commentary. Every anime they showed, and Toonami itself, stayed in the top TT's on Twitter and reconnected people to the shows they loved.
Second greatest gift, you ask? Then what's the greatest? The greatest would be this: to bring Toonami back as regular programming, if only for one night a week. Boom. Right there. Gauntlet has been THROWN. Many people agree with my statement and someone even started a petition to bring the segment back to television. People are also going here to ask CN directly. Please, for the love of TOM and quality television, please sign the petition and, if you have the time, tell CN that we want our anime back by the bucketload. Believe it or not, every signature counts, and more voices may mean a better chance for CN to take us seriously and give us Toonami back. Hope you sign it!
