[Here’s to the better cartoon show]
I get our hardcore dedicated community has disbanded for the time being.
And I’m far from the most loyal viewer there is.
Even still, it’s remarkable how early Toonami was ahead of the curve.
They changed the landscape of television and media on a scale even I can hardly grasp sometimes.
How things in entertainment are packaged. How to captivate an audience.
It’s just fascinating sometimes. I always liked Bebop & Lupin even though it aired on an older block separate from Toonami. But same thing.
Much of Toonami’s interactive community-building rubbed off on Adult Swim as a whole.
It’s how even for some of the most casual, the return several odd years ago was an event for everyone. Well, that and The Room.
Which speaking off..... it’ll be interesting to see what they do on April 1st this time around.
