    ITT: Ways in which Toonami changed/improved our lives.

    I probably would never have heard about Daft Punk if not for Midnight Run.

    pretty much 95% of all my imagination, creativity, ability to dream, and find pleasure from fantasy and science fiction all came from toonami

    Toonami fucking introduced me to the idea of an "action-cartoon".
    i.e., when animators from America and Japan get off their ass and use animation for something other than Ren & Stimpy bullshitting around for 22 minutes.

    It was this basic concept that made me want to pursue a career in artistic animation.

    Love of science fiction, anime, techno.

    Toonami was a big part of shaping me.

    How to believe in the power of good
    If you do something with your loved ones in mind, anything is possible
    How getting the girl and saving the day is a dream anyone can achieve

    Daft Punk is terrible though.

    Gorillaz sucked, but fuck yeah Daft Punk.

    I picked them up after remembering how much I loved One More Time. I used to think they actually looked like that (sans being blue aliens) as a band, that it was a full band.

    At least this thread might have real discussion, not just ;_; BAWWW WE MISS U REST IN PEACE GOODNITE SWEETE PRINZE

    Daft Punk and Gorillaz are my two favorite bands. My love of action cartoons, harem genre, giant robots. And courage. Whenever I feel down I go watch those old tom videos

    Daft Punk

    Big O

    Samurai Jack

    Toonami was the stuff of legends when I was a kid! I ate, slept and dreamed fantasy and science fiction because of this shit! Damn...

    People say that violence and mature themes desensitize kids. Fuck that! Watching Toonami is the reason I started day dreaming about robots and swordfights in the first place, and it's the reason I'll keep dreaming until I die.

    Fuck you Cartoon Network...

    I completely forgot that I first really learned about Daft Punk and Gorrillaz from Toonami.
    Fuck, man; they're still two of my favorite bands.

    Influenced me into being the person I am today. If I had never seen DBZ and all of the other awesome action anime and shows they aired, I would not be at an art school becoming an animator right now.

    Not to mention all of those positive life lessons that the TOMs taught us. What power is, courage, friendship, etc. I don't even think messages like that are even IN cartoons anymore.

    Never mind them being IN cartoons. Kids always see that message and ignore it. TOM was able to get it across in 30 seconds. It was these messages that stuck with me.

    Well, the people at Adult Swim browse /a/. Poster even started letting them know what was coming and apologized for it.

    As for me, Toonami got me into anime, turned me on to Daft Punk and Gorillaz, and gave me something to talk about with my friends when we weren't playing on the playground.

    It told me I had a right to dream, and that I'd decide my own destiny by standing up against any self-doubt.
    It introduced me to anime. I would watch DBZ every afternoon. It was perfect to my little fifth grade mind.
    Like OP, it introduced me to Daft Punk. So, in a way, I should thank TOM for sowing the seed of electronic love that has grown so tall. Oh, and The White Stripes.
    Toonami also scared the shit out of me. That Big O episode with the little girl... The red balloon... Watching at midnight... That memory still makes me feel... bothered, for some reason.
