Cartoon Network (1997–2008) 1997–99: Moltar era Toonami was
Cartoon Network's primary action-animation block. The block premiered on March 17, 1997, with
ThunderCats,
Cartoon Roulette,
Voltron, another episode of
Roulette, and
The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest respectively as its first programs. It first took the place of Power Zone, the Super Adventures block's most recent iteration on Cartoon Network, which had been a mainstay of the network since its introduction on October 1, 1992. The block was originally hosted by
Space Ghost Coast to Coast character
Moltar (voiced by
C. Martin Croker) at the Ghost Planet Industries building from March 17, 1997, to July 9, 1999.
1999–2000: T.O.M. 1 era On July 10, 1999, Cartoon Network retired previous host Moltar and relaunched Toonami with a new environment, the Ghost Planet Spaceship
Absolution, and a new host, a robot named T.O.M. (voiced by
Sonny Strait), which introduced viewers to him with this speech: Soon afterwards, the first program of the T.O.M. era, the
Sailor Moon episode "The Cosmetics Caper", premiered. It introduced
The Powerpuff Girls on Toonami, becoming the first Cartoon Network original series on the block. Also introduced that day was the Midnight Run, a late night block. It was originally a five-hour Saturday night block (technically Sunday) at midnight EST until March 2000, when it moved to weeknights in an hour-long format until January 2003. It consisted of anime such as
Dragon Ball Z,
Sailor Moon,
Voltron,
Robotech,
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing,
The Big O, and
Outlaw Star. Midnight Run tended to have more blood and violence than its daytime counterpart, even running an uncut version of
Gundam Wing between March and November 2000. One special edition that started on Friday, August 31, 2001, featured music videos such as "
Clint Eastwood" by
Gorillaz, and songs by
Daft Punk from their 2001 album
Discovery, the music videos of which constitute the 2003 Japanese-French musical
Interstella 5555, and Kenna's "Hellbent". Another event was
Dragon Ball Z taking over the Midnight Run for a week starting on March 26–30, 2001. A Saturday morning incarnation, Toonami Rising Sun, ran from 2000 to 2001 at 9:00 am to noon. It later ran from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, then 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. This block was somewhat hampered to avoid competing with sister network Kids' WB. Starting in September 2000, Toonami presented special interactive events known as Total Immersion Events (TIEs). These TIEs took place both on-air during Toonami and online at the official site, Toonami.com, and always occurred the week that the block's most popular series,
Dragon Ball Z, returned for a new season. The first TIE was
The Intruder, which introduced T.O.M.'s companion, an
AI matrix known as SARA (voiced by
Sally Timms, singer for the British band
The Mekons)
The Intruder was an eight episode mini-series that aired during Toonami from September 18 to September 22, 2000—November 6, 2000 to November 24, 2000. It involved the
Absolution being attacked by an alien blob known only as "the Intruder", which ultimately devoured T.O.M.
2000–03: T.O.M. 2 era Though
The Intruder resulted in the destruction of T.O.M., he was soon after upgraded by S.A.R.A. from a short
Bomberman-esque character to a taller, sleeker, deeper-voiced incarnation dubbed T.O.M. 2 (voiced by
Steve Blum, who has since been the voice of all subsequent incarnations of the character). On May 15, 2001, Cartoon Network released
Toonami: Deep Space Bass, the official soundtrack album to the TV block. From July 30, 2001, until June 28, 2002,
Kids' WB (also owned by
Time Warner) aired a Toonami block that was, more or less, the Kids' WB lineup with the Toonami name. Although ''Toonami on Kids' WB
brought over shows such as Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, and The Powerpuff Girls to broadcast television, it was critically panned by industry observers, who noticed that the action branding of the block - which had added shows such as Generation O!, Scooby-Doo, and The Nightmare Room, a live-action series created by Goosebumps'' author
R. L. Stine - did not translate content-wise. And while the cross promotion between Cartoon Network and Kids' WB did allow for series to be shared between the networks, most of these only lasted a short period of time. This included
Dragon Ball Z and
Sailor Moon appearing on ''Toonami on Kids' WB
for only two weeks, and Cardcaptors'' appearing on the main Toonami block on Cartoon Network for only two weeks. In spring 2002, Kids' WB announced that they would drop the Toonami name from their weekday lineup, once again making the Toonami brand exclusive to Cartoon Network. In
Lockdown T.O.M. fights to save the
Absolution from an attack by a giant trash compactor.
Trapped in Hyperspace, the next TIE, ran the week of September 16–20, 2002. SARA gets taken offline by a computer virus named Swayzak, and TOM is trapped in hyperspace. He manages to defeat Swayzak before the
Absolution hits Earth. The game tie-in for this event is lost. During the week of February 24–28, 2003, Cartoon Network aired on Toonami "Giant Robot Week," a five-day special based on
mecha series, which were licensed by
A.D. Vision. The series shown were
Neon Genesis Evangelion,
Gigantor,
Robotech,
Martian Successor Nadesico, and
Dai-Guard.
2003–07, 2012: T.O.M. 3 era In March 2003, TOM was revamped into a more muscular figure. This was explained in-universe as him being rebuilt after fighting a space pirate named Orcelot Rex in the comic
Endgame. His voice also became more humanlike. In September 2003, a miniseries premiered introducing a new,
2D universe.
Immortal Grand Prix (
IGPX), created by Toonami producers Sean Akins and Jason DeMarco, and produced by
anime studio
Production I.G, aired in five short installments, serving as a pilot for the second Toonami original series, which premiered in November 2005. On April 17, 2004, Toonami was moved from weekday afternoons to a Saturday evening slot, where it aired regularly for four hours starting at 7:00 pm EST. A new lighter-toned action block, Miguzi, premiered two weekdays in its place. The new Toonami lineup showcased anime such as
Naruto,
Rave Master,
Duel Masters,
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED,
One Piece,
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo,
Zatch Bell!, and
Pokémon Chronicles, as well as premiered North American productions including
Teen Titans,
Megas XLR,
The Batman,
Justice League Unlimited, and
IGPX, Toonami's first and only original production co-produced by
Production I.G and
Bandai Entertainment. SARA got a full body during this period, and became more anime-esque, along with her voice actress being changed to British actress and
Red Dwarf star
Samantha Robson. In 2006, the block decided to celebrate their anniversary and
Hayao Miyazaki's 65th birthday by having a four-week celebration called "A Month of Miyazaki" in which they aired a
Studio Ghibli film each week. The parent company of Cartoon Network had already done so earlier in the year on a sister channel,
Turner Classic Movies and wanted to repeat it again. The promotion also included original CG animation created for the block. • March 18 –
Spirited Away • March 25 –
Princess Mononoke • April 1 –
Castle in the Sky • April 8 –
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Although
Megas XLR was the first original American-made franchise to actually debut on the block, it was initially a Cartoon Network original that was planned to air on Friday nights. Other Cartoon Network action properties, namely
Samurai Jack,
Teen Titans, and
Justice League, aired on Toonami, but were not exclusive to the block until their final seasons.
2007–08: T.O.M. 4 era and cancellation On January 27, 2007, a
teaser commercial aired during the
Xiaolin Showdown marathon on Cartoon Network, featuring closeup shots of larger Clydes (the remote robot explorers that have been a fixture of Toonami since the beginning) and two new robot A.I's along with the date "3/17/07" and T.O.M.'s chest emblem glowing blue. On March 17, Toonami celebrated its 10th anniversary with a new packaging and numerous
montages celebrating the block. T.O.M. was revamped into a shorter robot with more humanoid facial features who was a commander of a jungle control room and aided by two new robots, Flash (
Tom Kenny) and D (
Dave Wittenberg). The montages included a look at past hosts, former logos, and a decade's worth of clips and
voice-overs from shows that aired on Toonami. There were a total of four montages, each with different clips, and three were one minute long. As part of the anniversary (and to coincide with Cartoon Network's March Movie Madness event), Toonami planned another month of movies: • March 3 –
The Invincible Iron Man • March 10 –
Mosaic • March 17 –
Hellboy: Blood and Iron • March 24 –
Stan Lee Presents: The Condor • March 31 –
Spirited Away and
Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo On September 20, 2008, at the
Anime Weekend Atlanta convention in Atlanta, Georgia, Cartoon Network announced that they had cancelled the Toonami block due to low ratings. Toonami then aired its final broadcast later that same evening. The final show to air on the block was a rerun of
Samurai Jack at 10:30 PM. Employees who worked on the block moved to other parts of the channel, except for Dennis Moloney, who left Turner to work for
Disney. Toonami Jetstream remained with the Toonami name until January 30, 2009. At the end of Toonami's final airing, T.O.M. 4 ended the block with a brief, final monologue, backed by the song "Cascade" by
Tycho: After Toonami's final episode on TV, Toonami Jetstream's subsequent shutdown in 2009 marked the end of this incarnation until the brand's revival in 2012.
Adult Swim (2012–present) 2012–13: T.O.M. 3.5 era On April 1, 2012, Adult Swim aired the Toonami block for their annual
April Fools' Day prank, in which would be the annual airing of
The Room. After airing that week's scheduled episode of
Bleach, the Toonami-related programming continued throughout the night, featuring shows such as
Dragon Ball Z,
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing,
Tenchi Muyo!,
Outlaw Star,
The Big O,
YuYu Hakusho,
Blue Submarine No. 6,
Trigun,
Astro Boy (1963), and
Gigantor. The following day, Adult Swim posted a message to their
Twitter page, simply stating, "Want it back? Let us know.
#BringBackToonami". On April 4, Adult Swim followed up this tweet with one stating, "#BringBackToonami We've heard you. Thank you for your passion and interest - stay tuned." On April 8, Adult Swim aired two bumpers about the Toonami tweets and answered with "[we're listening]" and "[we're looking into it]". On May 16, Adult Swim posted a message on Facebook announcing that Toonami would return on May 26. The network issued a press release later that day confirming the block's revival as a Saturday late-night action block. Toonami made its return on May 26, with an initial lineup consisting of current Adult Swim Action programs, along with premieres of
Deadman Wonderland and
Casshern Sins. On August 18,
Samurai 7 and
Eureka Seven replaced
Deadman Wonderland and
Cowboy Bebop. In essence, the revived block is very similar to the Midnight Run of the original, airing uncut programming as well as having more mature themes. On October 6, Toonami expanded to a full six hours;
Sym-Bionic Titan and
ThunderCats were added to the block.
Tenchi Muyo! GXP was announced as the next premiere on November 3, as was the return of
Inuyasha. On November 22, Toonami announced they would air uncut episodes of
Naruto, and confirmed that
Bleach would enter reruns for eight weeks, beginning on December 1. On January 6, 2013, Toonami introduced a new blue color scheme, after using a similar scheme to introduce
Inuyasha on November 3 of the previous year. New episodes of
Bleach began on January 26. On February 16,
Soul Eater began airing on Toonami, replacing
Samurai 7. During
MomoCon, new designs for both T.O.M and the
Absolution were unveiled, along with the announcement that overall design of the block would be changed.
2013–19: T.O.M. 5 era On April 27, 2013, Toonami premiered its new look, featuring the return of supporting host SARA (now voiced by Adult Swim staff member
Dana Swanson.) In December 2013, Toonami aired various films for the whole month similar to
A Month of Miyazaki which aired years prior. The programming was called "Toonami Month of Movies". The first film included in the lineup was
Akira, which marked the first R-rated film to be aired on Toonami. All of the films shown were new for the network. • December 7 –
Akira • December 14 –
Summer Wars • December 21 –
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa • December 28 –
Trigun: Badlands Rumble To kick off 2014, Toonami premiered the anime
Space Dandy on January 4, even before Japan. The anime ran for two seasons and 26 episodes before ending that September. The block introduced a new aesthetic on April 6. This new look also featured the return of the
Ninja Tune record label to Toonami. In December 2014, Toonami celebrated a second "Toonami Month of Movies". This time, they aired two films each week instead of one. The airing not only included new, extended versions, and old films previously aired on Toonami but also the final episodes of
Hellsing Ultimate. • December 6 –

Summer Wars • December 13 –

On December 2, 2015, Adult Swim announced that a new season of
Samurai Jack was being produced. It ended up premiering on Toonami in March 2017. The conclusion of
Intruder III in 2016 led to another new look to Toonami. On December 31, 2016, Toonami aired its first subtitled anime broadcast with the music video of
Porter Robinson and
Madeon's
Shelter, produced in collaboration with
A-1 Pictures and
Crunchyroll. However, the subtitled parts in both the start and end of the music video have been removed due to an unknown error. As of right now, it is unknown that the full version of the music video could air in the future, besides being available on Crunchyroll and Robinson's
YouTube channel. A fifth T.I.E. titled
Countdown was released from November 4 through November 25, 2017. It centers T.O.M. being sent into the future where SARA takes over the Vindication after passing through an unknown nebula while his future counterpart travels to the present to destroy the ship to prevent her from becoming evil. The event concluded with T.O.M. having scratches and minimal damage on his body. On March 20, 2018, Production I.G. and Adult Swim announced that two new seasons of
FLCL,
FLCL Progressive, and
FLCL Alternative would premiere on Toonami in 2018, with the date set for June 2 at 11:30PM. On
April Fools' Day 2018, Toonami was entirely dubbed in Japanese and kicked the prank off by airing a preview of the first episode of
