Goodbye Toonami, 1997-2008

It is certainly agreeable that Dexter's Laboratory had some good fun moments. Perhaps it just clicked like that because of the brother and sister bond that was constantly challenged. But now to add to the sentimentality of what Toonami was good for.

I too can recall coming home from elementary, middle, and high school just to be turning on the TV in time for my favorite shows. I remember in the mid 90s, they aired Robotech. It was the first anime show that I went crazy over as a kid. I went so far as to record as much of it as I could on VHS tapes. Fun times trying to cut out the commercials and get everything exactly timed with the VHS tape's available duration and the placement of the other episodes.

Let's see, Robotech, Speed Racer, Sailor Moon, Outlaw Star, Rouroni(?) Kenshin, Gundam Wing/G/08th MS/Seed, DBZ/GT, Dragonball, Neon Genesis(Was this more of a Adult Swim airing?), Zoids, Pokemon (Hey, it was fun for the first 2-3 seasons), Big O, Zatch Bell, and the Miyazaki movies. No particular order, and I'll probably remember more later on.

I too would of not been more involved with discovering Anime if Toonami weren't there to indulge me when I was a kid. Now that I think about it, there wasn't an Adult Swim programming during the times of Robotech and Sailor Moon. At least not to my recollection.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
