A Wednesday press release released by Adult Swim, the cable and satellite network that is paired with Cartoon Network, has revealed that the network is developing "new original anime programming" for the return of the Toonami programming block. Previous series featured on the block will also make their return.
The release also reveals that the revived block will be shown once a week from midnight to 6 a.m. on Saturdays.
The company had asked its Twitter followers in April if they would want the block back. Cartoon Network temporarily brought back Toonami on April Fool's Day, with reruns of such anime as Dragon Ball Z, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo!, Outlaw Star, Blue Submarine No. 6, Trigun, and more. The marathon had even included newly produced bumper videos of Toonami's mascot T.O.M.
Cartoon Network ended Toonami in 2008 after an 11-year run.

Original anime programming...
Big O Season 3. Make it happen CN!!!
Also not anime, but, Bring back Megas XLR and Symbionic Titan as well. Though, that's if they can get Gendy and Megas' creators to get back on board for it. Without them, they'd ruin the awesomeness.

They air more modern anime like Durarara and FMA Brotherhood. They're seemingly bring back the old school 90s anime that kids in the late 90s/early 2000s grew up with while also adding new stuff. Basically they're cashing in on nostalgia like Nick's "The 90s Are All That". Also, I assume AS has nothing to lose by trying this since they always say their Saturday night block has such crappy ratings.

I know right? Back then, classic rule: If you didn't watch toonami, you weren't cool.
