Christopher gives you some reasons to embrace the Jetstream, along with some visions of the future. What do you think? Do you see an online Toonami - or do you watch the Jetstream at all?

Jetstream is certainly the only thing carrying on much of Toonami's tradition and it may soon be the only venue for Toonami content. It's a great site and they're plenty of great shows but even it has been infected by CN's desire for more 6-11 kids to be watching and thus why Pokemon has been on Jetstream for over a year and why Bakugan seems plenty likely to move from CN Video to Jetstream like Transformers: Animated did.

There's still a great deal of potential for the service but I feel like they're limiting themselves a bit too much. There's no reason (for instance) that Teen Titans, Storm Hawks, The Batman, Fantasitc Four and Justice League aren't present. There's also no reason to drop PoT, Samurai Jack and Megas XLR when they could be reshowing them like they've been doing with MAR.

And I swear if we don't get Hunter x Hunter on Jetstream this year I am going to be 10 kinds of angry for such a wasted opportunity.

And I don't want to sound greedy because they do offer 8-10 episodes a week for content now... But having HnG be the only actual premiere makes things feel a bit lacking... Where's IGPX and where's Zoids Genesis? Both were suppose to be on the site by now.

Well, what makes Jetstream different from the block itself is that Jetstream registers every hit and stream without discriminating for demographics. Toonami only counts 6-11 and 9-14, so us viewers who are out of the demo can't help the block at all, but we can keep Jetstream strong.

Plus it doesn't seem to be as expensive to get online rights as opposed to TV rights. That might have something to do with it too.

Transformers Animated - Most likely created to captialize on the blockbuster 2007 live-action film, Cartoon Network comissioned a Teen Titans-esque Transformers series. Honestly, it's much better than Hasbro's adaption of the final installment of the Unicron Trilogy (a.k.a Transformers: Armada.)


Um... Isn't that the FIRST installment? :blink:

originally the draft I had said "AKA the Armada Saga" or as such.

But at the moment we need a more variety of shows.

IGPX really is my first choice to get.
Then Hunter X Hunter if it ever comes.

actually u could say jetstream is the toonami revolution brought to the internet to JOIN a larger revolution. itunes, hulu.com, youtube. they are turning the internet into a true radio or tv. in the only way that computers 'nd the net r able. it even out does tivo, i say.

during the napster case [woh. just realized how big 'nd important that is.] analysts spoke constantly of how the internet was changing things. 'nd if the media doesnt change with it. it will fall. since then, the major big wigs did nothing. resisted change. well now youtube, itunes, hulu, they r the revolutionaries. 'nd i say that, with pride, toonami is there with them. with jetstream we *could* get promo's/previews back. maybe music videos. 'nd opportunity there, intros to the shows as before. 'nd hey, now on jetstream we're back to one commercial break. THAT's AWESOME!

plus, jetstream is the only toonami place i get that toonami fealing. i get it on the tv one, but only on the TOM, Flash, 'nd D spots. bring those to jetstream 'nd im in in ecstasy. though i still miss the absolution, the BIG one. there's nothing quite like space. 'nd the was never anything like the absolution.
