    My favorite moment had to be either when Gundam Wing's promo aired or when ReBoot Season 4 premiered...

    The premiere of DBZ season 3 and 4 (DBZ 20XL is up there as well)

    Gundam Wing Uncut. (Pretty much the entire Midnight Run was awesome though)

    The long Ootlaw Star and Gundam Wing promos, as well as both series.

    My favorite moment has to be when the new block was unveiled last year and Kenshin premiered. We had G Gundam, DBZ, YYH, and Kenshin. That was some good watchin':anime: Have to say my favorite promo was the long "Backstory of the Battousai."

    The era of Tenchi, Outlaw Star, Big O, Sailor Moon and Gundam Wing.

    That was a truely mighty block back then.

    And seeing the big promo for MSG blew me away.

    The final fight between Heero Yui and Zechs Marquies felt like watching Toonami History.

    The coming of DBZ Season 3 had that feeling of Toonami being able to make things happen.

    DBZ coming to Toonami... that was a pretty HUGE announcement.

    Seeing "Walking Stick" for the first time was pretty insane.

    G Gundam - That is to date my most enjoyed Toonami watching experience. Got off to a tough start, but that was one of the greatest finales of anything I'd ever seen.


    Mind Blowing Promos
    -Outlaw Star
    -Tenchi Muyo!
    -The Big O
    -Mobile Suit Gundam
    -MS 08th Team
    -Batman Beyond

    Late 2000 till early 2001. We got a complete run of Reboot seasons 1-3, Outlaw Star, The Big O, more DBZ when it wasn't quite as played out and more Gundam then you could shake a stick at. Truly the block's finest run.


    The long form Outlaw Star and Big O promos. Should be the template for 'How to sell your action animation'. The short Outlaw Star character specific promos were awesome as well. The Long Kenshin promos was pretyt kickin' as well.

    The Intruder. A coherant plot, an actual block changing event and an insane amount of suspense for awhile.

    Of late the highlights would have to be Yu Yu and Cyborg 009 pushing the boundries of what's allowed on Toonami. I still don't know how they got/get away with a number of things they do on a Y7 block, heh.

    Might as well state mine.For starters it'd have to be the birth of this great block called Toonami.The Intruder was a fantastic event and the death of Tom was like...."DAMN!".Who could forget the era of Outlaw Star,Gundam,Big O, and Tenchi.I saw basically all the promos as great,they really made you look foward to things.Now to add a little something....what would count as a new chapter to be added in Toonami history...in the future!?We already have a potensial happening coming in April but go beyond that.

    An old robot friend of mine use to say, "No pain receptors..." so I'm inclined to believe him.

    Everything about the Big O, from the long promo to the show itself.

    Seeing "Legend of the Negamoon" for the first time durring the Lunar Eclipse marathon and thinking "Wow is this the same dumb show that was on at 4:00 in the morning? This rocks!". Full Circle is a close second (despite airing the same episodes over and over again).

    Another great time was the Zoids Final Four marathon on Saturday (despite the fact that it kept getting skipped, but the apology promo was cool). I was in awe the rest of the day after I watched that:anime:
