Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Toonami, an influential programming block consisting primarily of a mix of Western action-adventure cartoons and anime, aired on weekday afternoons (and, later, Saturdays) on Cartoon Network starting in 1997. The block featured incredibly high production values for its commercial bumpers, advertisements, and ARG campaigns, which included high-end 3D graphics, a soundtrack consisting of then-uncharacteristic (for a children's block) drum-and-bass and ambient music, and a consistent setting and narrative. Toonami had a hand in uncancelling several syndicated series (Dragon Ball Z, ReBoot, and Sailor Moon), and it premiered several series on its own, both anime (Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, all three of the original Tenchi Muyo series) and Western animation (the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe). In regards to anime, fans and historians both credit Toonami for single-handedly ushering in the mainstream Japanophilia boom of the early-to-mid 2000s. |
