Is that the one revolving around fathers and sons? That was amazing, gave me chills the first time I saw it.

Oh WOW! That "Dreams" one was amazing. Its been so long I'd forgotten about how cool Toonami used to be.

I got chills watching it. They showed it so much, and no matter how many times they did, it was awesome. It was like a commercial, but only not annoying.

Toonami commercials have always been awesome (er at least before the big character remodeling). They've been stuff that I always wanted to be on an American Dragon Ball DVD release as some kind of "bonus extra." Even if you're not a dubbie you gotta admit that these commercials would be better welcomed as DVD extra than some kind of crap justifying the use of widescreen.

While the Digital Arsenal site's fine enough, I'm pretty sure most (if not all) of these commercials have been uploaded onto YouTube. The only real purpose for the site now is to have some kind of central place where people can see just how many commercials each Toonami show had over the course of their run on the air.

Where exactly is that video located on that site, I'm too busy/lazy to look very hard to find it. Thank you!

They said that if we keep watching, they'll keep showing.

We should sue for false advertising.

I'm more pissed that CN cut back on Toonami to whore out Scooby, a dumb live-action show for middle schoolers, and a stupid Canadian cartoon about Kung-Fu chickens.

And look at CN's afternoon lineup now. I bet the ratings are high.

We don't even have Toonami in the UK anymore, It showed stuff like (As CNX, before changing into Toonami) Harvey Birdman, Space Ghost, Sports Illustrated Calendar shoot at night, along with Asian, Action and Anime films (Triple A that was called...) and Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing and Dragon Ball Z in the Evening, Batman of the Future, Chris Colerado, Samurai Jack and Megas XLR during the day. Then they stopped showing all of that and replaced it with "Backyard Science!" and some shitty kids sitcom from the '90s that no one remembers, and even boomerang shows appeared on there. Since it got insanely low ratings, they turned it into Cartoon Network Too! When I was a kid I loved watching those channels, I would still if they showed anything good.

I still love Scooby-Doo, but I hate "Funny for your Face". Not only are the rest of the shows crappy (well, Chowder is okay I guess...), the ad campaigns annoy me to NO end.

Toonami Digital Arsenal also has a sister site for Adult Swim shows. Including the funny Kagome and Inuyasha yelling each others' names commercial.

I actually remember that! lols.

Yeah, because of that, one time on another forum's joke picture thread, I put pics of Nightcrawler's girlfriend and Quicksilver saying each others name back and forth. (Quicksilver and Nightcrawler's girlfriend are voiced by English Inuyasha and Kagome).

I'll try and put up a list of all of the videos that contain Dragonball clips that aren't located in the DB/Z/GT sections, just so that we can easily find all of the Dragonball videos scattered across the site, just give me some time, there seems to be a few.

Edit: Never mind, I can't. I've been temporarily reduced to a dial-up connection (48 kps download speed) and honestly I'm just too lazy to do all of that work, sorry.
