Andrew reminds us that there's still time to turn things around, and also lays out how to do it. http://www.toonamifan.com/toonamipotential.html |

Excellent, Andrew! If Toonami can give us quality anime, then maybe the Revolution isn't dead yet. However, Toonami should be faithful to its Mission Statement: To be the home of the best action cartoons on the planet! I prefer Friday, but if that's not to be, give us at least 3 hours of GOOD anime on Saturdays. BTW, memo to Cartoon Network: Kill Bakugan AGAIN & Return Samurai Jack... NOW! |

I agree that there is definitely still potential. All the details on the new Friday block haven't been revealed yet, so I guessing like my others, that is might be a relaunched Toonami. I also believe this new Moribito show could be the show that refuels Toonami. That is if it doesn't go to Adult Swim, which I hope dosen't happen. |

Good article, Andrew. I agree with you wholeheartedly that Toonami, while in a really rough spot, can still climb out of it with just a little bit of effort. The fact that One Piece is returning this summer is a good start, and if Toonami does land something as stylish and provocative as Moribito that would be a huge shot in the arm. We can't completely discount Toonami being moved to Fridays but at this moment it's not likely. But CN can at least make a decent anime block out of it. Zoids Genesis, Naruto, One Piece, Moribito, Blue Dragon, and something else (Zatch or MAR) would make a decent three hours with a variety of genres and styles represented. |

You have a good selection, macattack. However, if Cartoon Network continues their current formula, we'll still have a Naruto Hour. Maybe once Hurricane Chronicles AKA Shippuden starts, we'll have 6 different shows. For now, my preferences, in no particular order:
I think the Jetstream hits determine if MAR comes back or Zoids Genesis premieres; it would be nice if Zoids Genesis gets ON Jetstream... BTW, as a Dallas Cowboys & NFL fan, I'd like Eyeshield 21 to come back (intact) to Jetstream. If it does well on Jetstream again, put it on Toonami once the NFL regular season starts... |

As long as its not the heavely edited version. I like the eyeshield 21 manga a lot, so the anime version(over here) was a HUGE disapointment(for me, anyway.) And nice article btw. |

Good stuff. I hope you as good at premonitions as you are at articles. I'm being serious, good article. I liked the way you voiced what pretty much everyone else thinks about the situation. Let's hope for the best.
