There were some clunkers, of course, like Cardcaptors, and there were times where they had to edit some nudity and too much blood since it was originally a 3 pm-6 pm school day block. But in general, it showed solid shows with solid dubs.

I wasn't ever too happy with most of the dubs because one of the things I expect the most in a translation is faithfulness to the original script. English dubs like Dragon Ball are enjoyable watches in their own right, but I once watched the English version with subtitles on and it proved headache-inducing because almost none of the dialogue relates whatsoever to what was actually said in the Japanese. Yu Yu Hakusho was much the same, though not to the same degree. They're nowhere near as flagrantly and blatantly butchered as Cardcaptors or anything, of course, and they're not bad products in and of themselves, but they do diverge enough from the spirit and characterization of the original to put me off.

pishawww, Yu Yu had a really fun dub, you got what the story was and characters idocyncracies stayed the same, it's shonen not Tolstoy, plus the more relaxed, ad libbed, wise cracker angle Funi put on DBZ and Yu Yu (especially) was much more fun than the Japanese which 90% was just standard read out of characters thoughts or needless exposition.
Anyway yea, obvious AS trolling is obvious, don't get your hopes up seriously, and rumors about Toonami coming back from what somewhere on the INTERNET, Hokey Smokes Batman it MUST BE TRUE!!! |

glad you like my over the top anger <3
Though I just went and used Alchemist's link to send Funi a letter begging Cartoon Network to bring Toonami back, because I am a nice guy and want to make all my wonderful AnimeSuki friends happy. |

Nope, Cardcaptors was aired for a short period of time on Toonami (the CN version) and the Midnight Run in 2002. I don't even think that it ran all the way though once before being removed, though.
It's not that weird, Hamtaro had a successful run on Toonami. |

They tried that, it was called Anime Network and ADV put it out a few years ago. Sorry to say its now defunct as well.
I remember not only TOONAMI but also the STARZ anime Friday night block, Tech TV had an anime block and on two different occasions SciFi did it as well. |
