Late last night, at 11:00 PM (2:00 am for those on the east coast), Toonami aired a sudden farewell.

It announced that Toonami was being cancelled, and that this was its last show.

There was no warning. No big finale. It just... died.

I was one of the people who watched Toonami from the start way back then. It was the thing that introduced me to anime. And its painful to see it go, to see a part of my childhood go away. Forever.
Now i know that the new Toonami with TOM4 sucked. I mean, they took away the Absolution, Tom's ship, and SARA, the AI. That made me feel a little bit better seeing a bad version of Tom go away, but Toonami went with him. The worst part about this whole thing was that it was so sudden... It was like taking a walk, and then having someone jump out of some nearby bushes and ripping your heart out while you watch in painful agony as crushes your heart in his hands (okay, a bit overdramatic).. It was so unexpected, though.

We'll miss you.

Toonami
(1997-2008)

Rest in peace, old friend...
