Jazzmastersamurai on YouTube made a heartfelt and emotional tribute to Peter Cullen and this almost makes me wanna shed some tears Cohen because Peter was one of those voices that made you love Toonami.

Some of you may have known this already or not but I just wanted to share that fact. Plus it’s throwback Thursday so might as well.

28 years ago today, Cartoon Network launched an action-oriented programming block called Toonami!

From 1997 to 2008, it was one of the most successful blocks ever created by Cartoon Network and later revived in 2012 under the Adult Swim.

From 2001 to 2012, the block also aired on the Kids’ WB block on The WB!, although, it received mixed reviews compared to its Cartoon Network/Adult Swim counterpart.

Say something good about this block and what is your favorite Toonami show?

Note this script is not on the uncensored Version Blu rays and DVDs ( they used Over 8000 like the manga proper translation I recall) but it was a nice little callback reference to the ocean dub version in the 90s imo

Still has original wrapping and has a little damage to the case. How much is this worth?

Like many here in the states, I grew up with Toonami and Tom, voiced initially by Sonny Strait, then Steve Blum.

Working EMS as a Paramedic and less than a year into my Voice Acting journey began I reached a breaking point during Covid in 2021. Feeling an all time low of exhaustion/depression/fear/uncertainty, I came across this bumper shown between Toonami commercial breaks. It sounds lame, but I truly was overwhelmed with feeling grateful, appreciative, and hit with a newfound confidence to stay strong and keep doing what I am passionate in.

Fast-forward and now I'm thankful I did just as the video says, and stuck with it.

Here's my video dub rendition and sort of a combo Steve Blum/Sonny Strait impression of the video that helped me when I mentally needed it most.

Hoping this resparks a passion in someone else like it did me then.
