Toonami Jetstream Says Goodbye

Monday February 2, 2009
Just a few months after the Toonami programming block closed its doors, the Toonami Jetstream video-streaming service says goodbye too.

This was the last of the Toonami brand, a venture between Cartoon Network and VIZ Media launched in 2006. The service offered titles from both CN and Viz for free, including Blue Dragon, Zatch Bell and the popular Naruto.

In a final farewell, the Toonami Jetstream website has this message:

We greatly appreciate all the fan support for Toonami Jetstream over the past years. Starting January 30, Naruto will make its new home on CN Video at CartoonNetwork.com. Fans of MAR, Blue Dragon, and other popular Viz Media series previously featured on Toonami Jetstream should check www.viz.com for future updates.

But read it quick... after few seconds, you're instantly transported to CartoonNetwork.com.

Noooo!!! Toonami Jetstream was my last hope for quality Cartoons. (Well actually, Samurai Jack)I hate the MTV, reality show crazed generation!!!!

(13) Emmanuel Isberto says:

Cartoon Network cancelled Toonami because the only thing they truly excel at is the future and I might say that we blame the future. We should request that they should relaunched Toonami for a new channel.

Man this sucks, because I’ve been watching toonami for 9 years, I’ve always loved saturday mornings and nights. Because of those shows. LIke rurouni kenshin, DBZ, yu yu hakusho, and naruto. Those shows are what pleases me, and now there showing dumb shows on CTN. I wish i could go back in time and watch those shows. Like good old times

(23) sakura says:

i hate cartoonnetwork 4 doing that

i say people should like not watch stupid

cartoonnetwork

naruto was my favorite cartoon in the world

and now it is gone

tonami should get its own channel if u agree

write after this commet

July 26, 2009 at 4:55 pm
(24) Shas says:

So sad, toonami was like the only thing to provide me anime that was easy to find. I remember seeing dbz on toonami, all of it was good. I like some of the anime on adult swim, but its not the same. i think we all can agree that toonami was great, even if it didnt show the most popular anime, its wat got me beginning to like anime since i was a lil kid. i still think that cartoon network, instead of having a reality series (why is a cartoon station playing real life shows?) it should have more anime. But alas, the future brings changes, maybe one day theyll bring it back, or something similar to toonami. Atleast, i hope they do.

(34) Anon says:

you know what ? toonami was great…
but the heads of cartoon network want more money so they look at fake reality shows and mimic that to draw in kids who will have missed out on the greatest cartoon experiance of their lives….
at least we got boomerang but then again you gotta order that….
they could at least kept the site running but then again that would make us happy….

also i hate the new cartoon network logo (not all that new) why did they need to change it …at least adult swim has it on their skull logo and at least adult swim hasnt changed. they have original shows too!
well we shall all miss you Toonami… good bye tom… one day we shall rise. Viva la revolution!

(48) Unlimited Sky says:

I remember those days, when we were kids, have to run home from school just to watch the Toonami 2 hour block of the greatest animes and shows, like Ruroni Kenshin, Tenchi Muyo, Gundamu Wing, Reboot, etc. But those days are gone, aswell ash TOonami, It was what made me what i am today; an anime fan. If it wasnt for Toonami, CN (CartoonNetwork) wouldnt have had ratings. TOonami did all of the work for them. I remember Nickelodeon, KidsWB, and Toonami all did a special together on one day just to honor the greatest shows on TV, it was the best. The Midnight run, Saturday Risin Sun, all those great moments of toonami are what made me who i am today. If it wasnt for them we wouldnt be watching anime right now or even involved wih anime. So i thank you Toonami, for being the best. eventhough your ratings went down at the very end, it doesnt matter, because we all know and remember what it was like to love anime at its fullest
