The Toonami Inner Circle Alliance is a small group of individuals I have aligned myself with. Each of us has a vision for the block as well as a love for Toonami and have a shared vision about what the block is all about. I started the Circle back in the spring of 1998 back at CybertOOn's Cartoon Campaign's boardroom with a couple of guys, Skullmnky (who has somewhat disappeared from the scene a couple of years ago) and this guy named Frankie Rodriguez (who kind of disappeared before it even began). Another fellow Toonami webmaster, Blkcloak of Toonami: The Unofficial, and myself became close allies and formed the backbone of the Inner Circle as you see it today.

Castle Control (you know him as CC, Col. Zechs Merquise, or just Mark Clark, Jr.) came aboard in fall 1998 with his myriad of popular webpages dedicated to Sailor Moon, Captain Harlock, and best of all, Voltron before settling down on Toonami Xperience. Tyler L. came around creating a Toonami multimedia called Toonami Multimedia, a site which, in return, inspired Zogg to create another Toonami multimedia haven, Toonami Basement (the two, of course, merged their collective sites into one monster of a Toonami multimedia site called Toonami Digital Arsenal). CookieS created Toonami Directory, which directed you to all things Toonami, AND Moltar's Hub, a hangout for Toonami fans everywhere, AND a co-creator of Toonami Radio with Tyler L., broadcasting the tunes you know you love (now that was a GREAT webpage; damn shame the RIAA made the internet community shut down sites like these because they're scared of the digital age)! SC is a major Voltron fan and the one who helped cement the partnerships within the site, has left her indeligable mark on the Inner Circle with Absolution, a virtual gallery of talented artists and writers who are fans of the block. Ashura, current co-webmaster of Toonami Xperience, and Skitz Zero, a popular Dragon Ball Z expert, are multimedia geniuses, capable of creating broadcast-quality promos with ease. James Harvey, webmaster of World's Finest, has brought together a whole group of warriors to spread the good word about the DC Universe, and a definite change from the anime world.

Although the mission remains the same, the faces behind the scenes have changed. Some left on amicable terms (Blkcloak's a full-time college student, Skitz has all but abandoned the internet and working on different projects, and SC and I had a difference of opinion in 2002, and she left before I could make amends), some left because of bigger things (Jim became an editor while Mark and Brady joined ADV Films for some years where their talents were better utilized both online and within the pages of Newtype USA until recently, and CookieS, now simply Jon K., is a lead designer at Toon Zone as well as working on various animation-related projects). They're still Circle members and we all are linked by the revolution.

The TICA has grown in the last half decade. Cody (formerly Discloner) and Preston (known through most corners as Mr. Obsession), whose Absolution NeXt has taken what began with CNX and brought it to the next level. The Toonami Forum at Toon Zone is a TICA-ran forum, modded by William Maune, Dark Spider, Chad, Duke, and myself, where we discuss Toonami in spirited and fun discussions. Another domain powered by TICA operatives is Toonami Infolink, the net's best source for Toonami-based news and information. Toonami Fan gives the Toonami faithful a forum and an outlet to make their feelings about their favorite block.

The Alliance is growing. The mission has gotten a lot clearer.
