I'm 33, this was my childhood/teenage years. The nostalgia is just too much for me. A different time, a different vibe. I cherish those memories. Peace to all watching this
toonami is another level of nostalgia
Peace to you too brother!
A Sentiment that is dormant too this day
Same here dude, same here
11 months later and this comment still hits
"No one's gonna give you a map you gotta walk your own path."
Wise words.
Something about that quote with the shot of gohan in ss2 seems VERY fitting!
You have follow your instincts and heart.
Unless you have strict Asian parents.
@@SoooooooooooonicableStill works.
@@Soooooooooooonicable Asian parents don't give you a map either they just scream at you demanding to know why you don't have straight As and haven't graduated college by 12 years old to be a doctor
The real question is those of us that seen this as children and are now in our late 20s or early 30s. Did you follow your dreams and achieved what you want out of life so far? Have you walked your own path or one someone chose for you or just one of convenience.
I’ve walked my own path. I’m too stubborn to let someone tell me how to live. Hope you all have done the same ✌🏼
Honestly no. I changed careers, I still feel lost. At times I wonder what life would be like if I made a couple changes in the past. Not quite regret but melancholy curiosity. Right now I'm financially stable and all that jazz but just not happy. Maybe happiness is just a fleeting thing.
When I achieved my dreams I woke up on face reality. Had to use both my dreams twice ready, I walk my own path if I do the right things for the wrong people. To be like Bob Marley and Gandhi to bring love and compassion to a dying world. Through my own unparadox means. Now I'm at a standstill looking for a new partner to feel complete.
@@sleepyhunter I know the feeling that you're going through. May advice I can give to you is happiness is what you do to make you happy.
Yes, I took the blows life through at me, and I’m still standing, and it’s in part due to the lessons I learned here. I lost a lot to accomplish some dreams…but I never changed myself for anyone but myself, and because of that, and even if there’s still so much I want to do at 32 years old, I’m proud of what I’ve survived and accomplished. This video reminds me of how far I’ve come, and I’m eternally grateful to Toonami for that,
People talk about this as a piece of nostalgia a lot, but honestly, especially with Outlaw Star, it often feels more relevant the older you get. There's never a time where you should give up on following dreams after a setback or a victory for fear. Gene spends that whole series searching for the Galactic Lei Line like a dog chasing a car, and once he catches it he has to confront what it is he actually desires. The chase made him live, but the catch was the hard part. Sometimes you catch things in life and desires and dreams fall to the wayside, only for you to have to find new desires and dreams. You stop aging when you can find them again, and nostalgia is no longer important.
Brilliantly said
The memories man. This feels like a well deserved nostalgia high. Crazy, cornerstones of the program right there.
yep
It doesn't feel like 25 years... It feels like a century since Moltar hosted the original Toonami back when Cartoon Network showed almost nothing but classics 24/7. It's insane to me how so many people on CZcams nowadays weren't even born when it launched.
@@Zenigundam I think we are lucky that we as a generation got to have something so special. Wouldn't have it any other way. 25 years... Just like that.
We love you TOONAMI 🤍💯🤍💯♥️
I agree God do I feel old lol
OMG YOU HAVE TO HAVE BEEN THERE I WATCH THIS WITH TEARS IN MY EYES 🙏🏼
Shout out to SlimD716 for keeping the dream alive and becoming an official part of Toonami & [as] history.
I love you Slim/Metroidman. c:
Real talk
Facts 🔥
word
31 and rewatching this as motivation to get through first semester finals for law school. This promo still hits after 22 years. Hope you're all still creating your own destiny.
Hope you made it. Good luck with the rest of law school. You can do it.
You got this 🔥💯
Best of luck brother. We need uncompromising lawyers. You will do well.
Began the journey in 2018 doing the same thing every Tuesday. I made it brother.
These vibes are GONE. The GOLDEN era. I'm so glad I grew up on this and not streaming.
The dusk of Saturdays, belonging to Samurai, Saiyans, and Spirit detectives.
Gone, but not forgotten. I remember these days like yesterday.
@@bluetorpido5929 Golden comment
Outlaw Star was a banger, and so is the music playing
Outlaw star is/was so amazing. I'd say it's underrated because I don't hear that many people talking about it. People mainly talk about DBZ/Sailor Moon/Gundam. Which I love too but Outlaw Star hit different as a kid..
@@paradigmshift2223 Outlaw Star felt a little empty at the end, but after giving it some time to sink in, it's really all about the journey, not the destination. Finding the Leyline really did nothing for Gene because he needed to heal on the inside and put the past behind him. It's something so many of us struggle with, and that's why I like Outlaw Star better now than I did back in the day.
Still my all time favorite
One of my top favorite anime's
@@paradigmshift2223 Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop, were a terrific pair 🔥
Please but PLEASE keep bringing back this bumps… I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE AGAIN!!!
Had goosebumps watching this again after all this years.
I second this
Same
The bumps were something we never knew we needed and now they are like liquid gold, more valuable than ever.
Guys all the toonami bumps were preserved here on CZcams by noble content creators :)
These* not this
Toonami was never just some time slot on Cartoon Network; it was a concept and the seed of a movement. I simply would not be who I am in life today without Toonami. I owe more to it than words can express. Thank you - for birthing an entire generation. Those of us left have shared memories of a past which we can bond over forever.
I was 15 when Toonami kicked off. I’d already been into anime for a few years but was limited to what was available to rent at Video Zone. This was like the heavens parted and gave ME, specifically, the most amazing gift. Gundam Wing, Tenchi, Sailor Moon, and the rest… I am now 41 and still watch anime on the daily, still love it as much as ever, but 90s anime will never be topped. My daughter is also an otaku now, I showed her all of these old promos, our origin story. 🥹
@@dear_rococo You rock! Keep doing your thing as a father and I hope you will be blessed enough to have a grandkid that is also an otaku.😄
“No ones gonna give you a map, you gotta walk your own path”
“What Is Thy Desire✨👄”
Those voices have lived in my head rent free for 20 years 🤣❤️💕
As a kid in the early 2000s I would always stay up late in every Saturday night and watch toonami with me and my sister and to this day I still watch toonami because it's apart of my childhood since I was 7 years old and this got me into anime
Me as well, used to wake up at 2AM to watch Inuyasha in Middle School.
Eureka 7 and Yu Yu Hakusho all the way
@@Lancer_ I love eureka 7
Same here I'm 26 been watching since I was 4
Right there with you man. The "world premiere" of FLCL was on there and that was my first anime. Bless those times gods know its never gonna be like that again.
Dear lord, 25th anniversary...thanks for the good years. They've gone by too quickly, but I'm glad I can share these times with Toonami and everyone here!
Sharing these moments with folks like y'all is what makes the nostalgia even more sweeter
25 years since toonami really began...it was not called toonami in 97
I’m 32 & I grew up on Toonami 😢 great times !
1:12
"You gonna just keep running away?!"
"Just keep running away?"
"... I'm not running..."
This moment right here, these lines... Literal chills! This was my motivation as a teenager. The first time I heard this, I was going through a lot and this felt like it was directed right at me. I will never forget that feeling. I can't thank the people behind Toonami enough for this. Thank you for helping me through a really rough time in my life.
When I finally watched Outlaw Star last year, I reflexively answered “Just keep running away?”
More or less the same for me, except I don't remember any particularly hard thing that I was going through, it just made my thirteen year old self pause for a second and ponder a bit about life in general. I remember this very line and these ads just in general making me think, "I've stumbled upon something that isn't mere cartoons, and it's also not as shallow as Hollywood. This is deep stuff." Which, sure, it wasn't always, and I was a naive kid at the time, but shows and ads like this can have a profound impact on a developing young mind. Definitely need more of it today.
@@RetepAdam thank you for saying the name of the anime I was looking for it 😂
I was looking for this comment.
I knew as a kid that this scene would stick with me for awhile, but I didn't know how bad it would hit me watching it again after all these years. 😖😣😌😭💪🏾
So many words to say...but only one action to take.
Me rn
Chills every time, happy 25th anniversary!
This years in October, it's gonna be Cartoon Network's 30th Anniversary.🥳
This actually just hit me like a brick to the head... Thank you for the good times!
Adult swim should honestly put up a lofi channel. Id listen every night.
I'm 34 with 3 kids and this took me back to the 5th grade when life wasn't so complicated and kids could still be kids. Mane, these were the days!
It's like injecting a mixture of pure happiness and sadness into my brain. Dear God, I can't begin to explain the headspace this puts me in, all these years later. Thank you, Adult Swim. You're truly the last, best hope for television.
This was set up that the right time, I’ve been having a rough few weeks at my job just feeling miserable how I want to go back to school and do the things I want to do but I’ve been holding myself back because of my fears and I let my age be a factor. But now seeing Toonami posted this 23 minutes ago and watching it has made me tear up bit, I’m 27 now & I remember being hooked on Toonami as a kid the inner child in me who I once was would be disappointed at not letting future me follow my dreams and go after I want. I want my spark back… so thank you, Adult Swim for posting this💛🥲
Powerful statement. This made me tear up too watching this on IG earlier, made me miss my dad who loved DBZ like his sons.
there people in school starting at 29-30 doing medical degree thats 5 years long, I think you shouldnt let your age be a reason why you shouldnt do what you want. if age is a big worry, just say what you look like for the age lie, who cares, it only matters to people if you legally have to. Just do it to keep that pressure off.
You should really check out the 2016 Dreams speech.
Dude same. I turn 29 in a few months and my brain seems to be my worst enemy haha. But Im trying to change my thinking. We are all deserving of what we set out to achieve.
Good luck on your journey bro. I'm finishing up my master's now after working a few years first (I'm 32), and can tell you it'll be worth it if it makes you happy and opens more doors.
Such memories! Long live Toonami!✌🏼
Decade from now it'll be the 35th anniversary. Bet by then we'll all tell stories to our kids about what Toonami was like during the golden age of CN.
"I'm not running" always hits home
This is one of my favorite Toonami speeches! I really miss the aesthetic of old Toonami. Keep cruising on the absolution another 25 years!
They’re on a different ship now. Can’t remember the name
shizuwolf Howlajima Right now Toonami is using The Forge after TOM and Sara basically kicked out its original owner. Before The Forge it was The Vindication.
I did it. I'm 35 now and I made it to the place I was supposed to go, became the man I needed to be. I didn't know where things were going as a boy but now it all seems so clear. Reflect on yourself often; only you can tame the fear and depravity in your own heart. One decision leads to the next; have faith in yourself. Everyone gets what they want the most.
The late 90's and early 2000's Toonami and Adult Swim anime literally changed my life. I would be a different person if not for these shows being made available to a kid in a small town who would never have discovered them at that age otherwise.
Everything about this promo is beautiful and serene - fully captures the essence of every young teenager in the early 2000s who watched Toonami
No matter what keep the spirit of Toonami alive!!
For me, these always made each show feel connected in some way that made watching it live an experience, rather than just "catching" a show.
Instant chills with the Outlaw Star opening shot, wow
Majority of the video is Outlaw Star
Outlaw Star is underrated
I’ll never forget watching DBZ on toonami back in the day. Still my favorite series ever. Those old promos live in my head
Dragon Ball will never die.
If you love
Dragon Ball give me a hell yeah.
I just turned 44 and I still love this!!! The nostalgia is perfect. Thank you Toonami!!
I turned 30 last September, growing up I haven’t watched Toonami as much but when I did, I remember motivational videos like this popping up. Time blew by so fast. Now all I can do is cherish the memories that I have when i was kid. No matter how down I get, I sometimes go back to these videos and lift my spirits up. If anyone out there feels the same, just remember that you rock.
"A boy has the right to dream" - if that doesn't reach in and grab you by your soul, then you don't have one
Time flies right on by. I remember watching as a child.
Im 29 and man. This Still motivates me no matter how much Times and gets me misty eyed every time. Stayed with me since I was a kid. And every time I lift the kettle bell, it’s a refuel of fire to keep going on life.
This hits deep. Hard to believe I've watched Adult Swim and Toonami for almost two decades.
Where does Toonami air now? What shows does it have?
I come back to this every year or so and the message hits the same as it did when I was kid. No regrets
Man, the memories just came flooding back!
This was always my favorite promo. I even got my mom to buy me the Toonami CD with this beat on it. The memories are so nice. Thanks Toonami!
34 years old, this has a special place in my memory.
Deep Space Bass…man this always takes me back.
Child hood at its finest. Wish there was like a best of toonami on dvd/bluray
This hits deeper now. RIP Toriyama 🕊
As soon aw ge starts talking and i see Gohan relaxing with his daddy... I get goosebumps. Toonami us the best i miss being barley 10 years old.. 32 now, this always makes ne 𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲, 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺 i remember each word of this. 😊🙏
Toonami made our childhoods godlike epic!
WE ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO DREAM.... Thank you Tom, Steve Blum, and all those who supported and produced Toonami before and after it's return. We thank you for your inspiration for 25 years. 💯💯💯
Coming here after they announced Akira Toriyama death 😢
RIP Toriyama and thank you for everything you did for us and gave us. There is no real life dragon balls to bring you back, but we hope you are with King Kai relaxing
God, I remember this playing regularly, still just as good as when I was a kid. I need to watch Outlaw Star again.
It's even better to watch as an adult
It hits harder as an adult. Bring your tissues
You not lying my favorite anime I got the whole thing on Blu-ray
"A boy has a right to dream. There are endless possibilities spread out before him"
That part always stuck with me. I remember watching this as a kid and being fascinated by the entirety of this clip. Couple decades later with only a memory of the beginning part. Now seeing it in it's entirety again it hits the same. Toonami was a big part of my childhood and having these come back to watch again is amazing.
REST IN PEACE TORIYAMA
Im 36 now... I still watch, still reminisce. You guys shaped an entire generation. I wish the kids weren't forced to grow up so fast nowadays. Playing pokemon gold for the first time. Reading The Simpsons comic books. Collecting resident evil and X-men cards... Thats all i had to worry about...
Pure, unadulterated, unapologetic, grade A, NOSTALGIA. I will never forget these formative years of my life, and this promo perfectly encapsulates them. Happy anniversary Toonami.
I’m still here Toonami!!! I almost wasn’t but I’m still here. To watch your content and to be in nostalgia. Happy 25 years!!!
Well this certainly brings back lots of memories. Man Toonami, you will always be one of the greatest anime blocks no matter what.
This gave me the craziest nostalgia trip! Coming home from school , sitting down and watching this promo gave me such relief when I was a kid
I can't believe I've followed Toonami since the very beginning. I'll forever be grateful for all the memories the block has given me. You've made my childhood and you're still there now in my adulthood. Long live the greatest action block to ever exist, Toonami!
Changed my life…kept me going when I didn’t think I could
“You gonna carry that weight.” - Cowboy Bebop
Happy anniversary Toonami. Thanks Slim for remastering this! 👏 🎉
This programming legitimately changed my entire life. I was inspired to work out and have good values just based on the characters in these anime’s. 32 years old, my own boss self made, multiple properties paid off, religious gym goer and able to give back now. All thanks to the GOAT Tom.
Rest in Piece, Mr. Toriyama.
always a classic that gives me shivers just as it did all those years ago
I still sometimes look up. And wonder.
I just turned 30 last month. This was my childhood/teens as well. So nostalgic. I'm glad to have had Toonami growing up... anime has helped me through tough times
I never forgot about this promo. It still rings in my head, and I can see it vividly. Sometimes I think back and wish I can return to it; just to feel that safe, calm feeling I once felt where the only fears I had were school related and once I returned home to my family, I knew everything was going to be okay. These words have always stuck with me: "A boy has the right to dream...there are endless possibilities stretched out before him."
Man, growing up watching cartoons and anime in the 1990s was amazing. Those were the legendary times. The best times for television and cartoons. This was before the Narutards began to come along around 2005-2007 years. Toonami, Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing 00, G Gundam, Tenchi Muyo, Rurouni Kenshin, Ronin Warriors, Digimon, Fox Kids, all the Nickelodeon and Disney shows, and the list goes on. I can't even describe it. Being a 1990s kid was the best. Besides the parts where I was bullied. Anime, playing outside, and playing Star Fox and Goldeneye 007 on Nintendo 64 were the only good memories I had. I still remember the first time Trunks turned Super Saiyan against Frieza and his "Destruction" theme was playing. I was eating ramen noodles. I remember back when I used to have "friends" and I went to see the first two Pokemon films in theatres. I remember Pikachu crying on the big screen and slapping. I think those were the first cartoon and anime films I saw in a theatre. I have not had "friends" since elementary and 6th grade. I don't trust anyone.
Since then, the best thing I have done is work at Pixar as an animation intern in Summer 2019. San Francisco Bay Area was the most beautiful place I had been to. When 2008 came, I have been going tons of health problems. Kids today have no idea how amazing it was in the 1990s and around 2000. Today, kids are too busy on apps like TikToxic, sn*pch*t, and "IG." Simp boys are supporting girls on places like OnlySimps. CZcams is terrible now compared to when it first released in 2005. I was in 2005 back then. Before youtube was ebaumsworld, newgrounds, and that crazy gore website. Everything has literally gone downhill. My sister's son is in elementary and he is into Dragon Ball like I was as a kid. I don't know if he picked it up from me and my videos, or if it was from Dragon Ball Super. Last holiday in 2022, I brought my Dragon Ball Super Broly film in the living room so he could see it. He had never heard of Broly before. Broly and Vegeta are favorite characters. During the movie, when Broly first started fighting, he began searching Broly on his phone nonstop and he was completely ignoring the film. He was not focused on that amazing action at all. It was annoying me so much. Everyone is so locked into these smart phones. It is crazy.
In the 1990s, kids came back from school, turned on the TV, and watched Toonami cartoons and anime from 2:30 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. There was no looking at tiny screen in your hand. If you missed it, you missed it. In fact, it wasn't until high school years that kids started to search for anime episodes online. Nowadays, everyone is in such a rush to see the sub Japanese versions in order to get views for the reaction videos. Kids in the 1990s did not grow up with Japanese sub versions unless they lived in Japan. As far as I knew.
I completely agree with everything you said
Sometimes I miss those times. The days before the stupid Naruto and One Piece fans came along.
@@Serching4JerryGarcia agreed I miss those days
Back in the day, I would always stay up late to watch toonami or for a brief time here in the U.K. as CNX to watch DBZ, OutLaw Star, Batman Beyond, Samurai Jack, ultimate muscle, Megas XLR, CowBoy Bebop and list goes on. a great part of my childhood.
These toonami messag3s/shorts/inspirational speeches were a blast during my childhood. I feel so mostalgic seeing them now . I wish tv/streaming had a channel or service that did these kind of things mixed in with there programming
I was 6 when this aired and still remembering it so vividly. Every day after school around 5pm. the anime block was so lit.
Happy 25th Anniversary to Toonami!!!
"Believe in yourself and dont fear failure"
I was a kid when this came out and I was already into anime and video games and very shy. By the time I graduated high school I had no plans, some bad grades and basically no hope for a strong start. I took a huge chance on joining the army to be able to provide for my family and make something of myself. I served 10 years in the aviation field and saw the world, deployed to Afghanistan, deployed overseas and had soldiers of my own to lead and train. This message had to have contributed to my decision.
As a kid I always wanted to see more toonami but never saw as much of it as I wanted
i have a vivid memories of being a kid listening to this around this time of year thinking about my future.
Still so good, decades later…
This is my childhood action block that I watched during my elementary school years. Happy 25th Anniversary, Toonami!
Been watching this for many years. Love Toonami.
Listening to this ad in the dark watching Toonami on the weekend or weekdays is a core memory of mine. I know this word for word. Thank you Toonami!
Man I was there when this originally aired & I'm so glad I'm still here to see it get the recognition it really deserves as a great little piece of early 2000s pop culture
Oh man what a classic id. Awesome to see it again.
25 years of Cartoon Network and [adult swim] working to make the greatest action
OMG FINALLY! A high res version of this video! I saw this when I was in middle school, ONCE and it stuck with me. It became my inspiration to draw eventually. It only took me 14 yrs, but eventually I drew what stuck with me from this commercial. Truely inspiring! Thank you Toonami, thank you Adult Swim for uploading this finally! T.O.M. 2.0 Era was the GoAT!
It's hard not to get emotional watching these like you are greeting an old friend you haven't seen in years.
Believe in yourself. Create your own destiny. Don’t fear failure….
- wisdom of the elders.
i’ve been watching this almost weekly for the past several years on youtube, glad to see another spotlight for new audiences to see it
The age slowly sinks into my bones.
I'm 40 I lived through the 90's i will forever cherish those years that vibe . Hold it close to my heart. I wish i could return to those times.
Hard to believe I was just 4 when I discovered what would eventually become a wonderful future hobby. Through all the ups and downs in my life, I’m glad Toonami was there for me every day after school and got me hooked onto such great shows. Kids need an experience like this today. Not just once a week in the late dead hours but every weekday after school old and new to cultivate the next generation.
Happy Anniversary toonami I remember this when I was kid
Watching Toonami after school in the 2000’s man… Ya just had to be there.
Timeless. I've repeated this so many times when I first discovered it.
Pure nostalgia
Mannn this was such an amazing time. I can't even explain the space my mind went to from this. This one hit me different😔
Agreed.. It's such a powerful promo. Words alone does it no justice
30yrs old & The nostalgia hit with this! I still remember this until this day! Glad I was able to experience toonami & these life bumps. Probably this was needed!
Toonami has a large part in creating some of the greatest friendships I had in school. Good times sitting around at lunch breaking down what we saw and what we predicted was yet to come.
So many good memories, coming home after school to watch all of Toonami. Outlaw Star, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, and DBZ. And hosted by Moltar v2
Happy 25th Anniversary Toonami! 🥳
I’m watching this as a 30 year old who left my home 4 years ago to create my own path. Although I have people that followed me, sometimes it can feel like a lonely journey
It's weird isn't it I'm writing this from 2024 where my own country is in turmoil unlike anything we seen before. It's crazy how relevant this is to this time and our future. Words of Hope from the past
Ah yes, the place where I first started watching Dragonball. What a great channel.
The place where I reconnected with db in its full glory.
This hits cause I got into anime since I was a kid back when it was on CN in the afternoon I was 6. And when it came back in 2012 I've stayed up every Saturday that I can to watch it. Toonami has introduced so many good shows like space dandy and Gurren Lagann to me and may more. Congrats to 25 years toonami
I will never forget this commercial. An absolute classic.
Watching this made me tear up a little. The memories from back then. ( believe in yourself, Don't be a failure)
