From the Webmaster: Wow. This is a very classic article from the CNX days of The X Bridge. Coming online shortly after the arrival of TOM, this article was my initial vision of what a Toonami-based network should be. Of course, this was my mentality prior to the anime explosion of the 21st century.
Oh, and this years before CNX (now Toonami) came on the air in the UK. Yeah, talk about being ahead of the curve! I put up shows that I felt could have fit on a lineup, but by today's standards, it's kind of dated. Maybe one day, I'll post an revised schedule with what I feel a current Toonami-based network should look like.
In the meantime, enjoy what I was thinking almost five years ago!
- jh, April 2004
For a brief shining moment, imagine that CNX: Toonami is on the air. You
could actually ask a cable company to add this channel for a moment. Now that
Cartoon Network's getting ready to create a version of this network, what
exactly would they put on the network? Well, herebe on the air right now? Many, many moons ago, I posted an earlier schedule that just had Day One. Now imagine the rest of the weekday and weekend lineups.
All times are Eastern. You know the rest of the drill.
