Toonami has introduced their new look and many of the Toonami fansites did likewise. It's kind of strange trying to fit that neo-Gothic old English-like logo to fit the general scheme of a site (ask my brothers over at Toonami Digital Arsenal, Toonami Infolink, and ANX). Fortunately, I planned long ago not to put too much emphasis on the new font, probably because I deemphasized the most recent font's presence on my site.

Anyway, Tuesday afternoon, I did get a bit of inspiration as I was watching Toonami. A lot of shows have premiered on the block over the past six years, but only a few of them have really made an impact, not just because of popularity, but for the importance it brought to Toonami. These are the shows that has made Toonami the most popular action-animation block on the planet. I had to narrow the list down to ten because, to quote George Carlin, "ten makes it sound official."

(GREETINGS, FROM THE FUTURE! You know, that Top Ten List back in 2003 was nice, but I made another list of 15 shows from early 2004, which was slightly more accurate about the most important shows in the block's history. Five years have passed since that list was written, and Toonami is no longer with us. Anybody want to see a more definite list? -JH, 6/30/09)

Stay safe and stay cool, and if the fates allow, we'll do this again.

Until we are one, later.
