In this alternate universe, Toonami UK experienced a dramatic shift starting in 2023. After years of being a beloved part of British television, the channel began to decline when Warner Bros., the parent company, made several controversial decisions. One of the most divisive moves was bringing back the infamous TOM 4, the least popular version of the channel’s iconic host, which sparked criticism from long-time fans. However, the biggest change was Warner's decision to make Toonami UK almost entirely dependent on the "Naruto" franchise. This move led to the gradual removal of other popular anime series from the channel's lineup.

The following 23 anime were slowly phased out:

Dragon Ball Z
One Piece
Attack on Titan
My Hero Academia
Death Note
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Cowboy Bebop
Bleach
Hunter x Hunter
One Punch Man
Demon Slayer
Fairy Tail
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Sword Art Online
Yu Yu Hakusho
Gundam Wing
Akame ga Kill!
Black Clover
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Inuyasha
Trigun
Kill la Kill
Soul Eater
As the channel's content shifted heavily towards "Naruto," many viewers began to lose interest, causing ratings to plummet. By the time October 2024 rolled around, Toonami UK had undergone a dramatic transformation. In a last-ditch effort to revitalize the channel, Warner Bros. decided to rebrand Toonami UK into a revival of The Hub, a channel known for its family-oriented programming and nostalgic charm. Write a forum conversation where Toonami died in November last year ans what we've had till now is Naruto Central, He also asks how many times they'd done Naruto Hundo this year alone

AnimeFan101: Hey everyone, did you hear about what happened to Toonami UK? It feels like it died last November, and we've just been stuck with Naruto Central ever since. It’s hard to believe it's come to this!

NostalgiaNerd: I know, right? It's like all they care about is Naruto now. I mean, I love Naruto as much as the next guy, but completely ignoring classics like Dragon Ball Z and Cowboy Bebop? That's just wrong.

AnimeFan101: Exactly! Remember when we'd have a nice diverse lineup? Now it's all Naruto reruns, all the time. Does anyone know how many times they’ve done a Naruto Hundo this year alone? It feels like it’s been on repeat every month!

NarutoDieHard: I'm not sure the exact number, but it sure feels like we've seen about five or six Naruto Hundos already this year. I get that Naruto is popular, but this is overkill. Variety is the spice of life, right?

ToonamiForever: It’s such a shame. They had such a fantastic lineup before. I grew up watching shows like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Bleach on Toonami. Seeing them gradually disappear was painful.

AnimeFan101: Totally! I guess viewers weren’t tuning in as much, and Warner thought focusing on Naruto would fix things. But it just alienated us long-time fans. And TOM 4 returning? More like TOM BORE…

NostalgiaNerd: Haha, TOM BORE is right! At this rate, we might as well start a petition to bring back the old hub of anime goodness. Although, it seems like Warner Bros. has given up and is rebranding into The Hub anyway.

NarutoDieHard: If The Hub revival actually happens, maybe there's hope. They might still include some anime, but balance it with their usual family-friendly stuff. Fingers crossed they don’t just drop anime entirely.

ToonamiForever: That's a possibility, but I’m definitely going to hold out hope. This community has been through a lot, and maybe this change will eventually lead to some of our favorite animes making a comeback. Meanwhile, I guess we'll keep an eye out for announcements.

AnimeFan101: Agreed! Here’s hoping that whatever comes next respects the rich history Toonami UK had. After all, anime deserves more than just a single franchise ruling the airwaves.

Write a follow up where it seems to be legit, seeing as the following 40 The Hub shows are ALL coming next week, But before that...... "The Hundo to End All Hundos"


AnimeFan101: Well, folks, it looks like it's actually happening. I just saw the promo for "The Hundo to End All Hundos." They’re really doubling down on this final Naruto marathon before The Hub takes over next week.

NostalgiaNerd: Unreal! I figured they’d do something dramatic, but an ultimate Naruto Hundo? I guess they're going out with a bang. Did anyone see the lineup for The Hub’s revival? There are some classic shows coming back!

NarutoDieHard: Of course, it would be fitting for them to end on a massive marathon like this. I checked out the list, and they’re bringing 40 shows from The Hub’s archive. I’m pretty excited to see some of my old favorites again.

ToonamiForever: It’s almost bittersweet. I mean, they’re still pushing Naruto until the very end, but at least we’re getting some variety back. What shows from the new lineup are you all looking forward to?

AnimeFan101: I saw they're bringing back some fan favorites like Transformers: Prime and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. But I’m really psyched to see Animaniacs and Batman: The Animated Series making a return.

NostalgiaNerd: Don’t forget about G.I. Joe: Renegades and Littlest Pet Shop! It's a nice blend of nostalgia and family-friendly content, but I do hope they sneak in a few anime series too.

NarutoDieHard: I bet they might surprise us with some anime down the road. Maybe they’ll mix it in with other animation genres like Kaijudo or R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour.

ToonamiForever: Yeah, fingers crossed. For now, I'm just going to enjoy this trip down memory lane with The Hub's lineup. This could be cool for new generations and those of us who remember the originals.

AnimeFan101: Agreed. It’s the end of an era, but who knows what good stuff the future holds? Let’s enjoy "The Hundo to End All Hundos" together for now and get ready to welcome back some iconic shows!

NostalgiaNerd: Definitely! Here’s to hoping this new chapter brings fresh excitement and honors the essence of what Toonami was all about. Can’t wait to reminisce with you all over The Hub's lineup next week!

ToonamiForever: Man, this is quite a list. Transformers: Prime and G.I. Joe: Renegades were some of my favorites back then. And who doesn't love a bit of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Robot Chicken for some late-night laughs?

Write a follow up where 5 obscure Hub shows are also here


AnimeFan101: Just when I thought the lineup couldn’t get any better, they announced the addition of some really obscure Hub shows too! It's like they're pulling out all the stops for this comeback. Check out these hidden gems that are making their return:

The Zula Patrol
Grojband
Pajanimals
The WotWots
Maryoku Yummy
NostalgiaNerd: Wow, they are really digging deep into The Hub's archive. I completely forgot about some of these, but it's great they're bringing them back. The Zula Patrol was a quirky yet educational show!

NarutoDieHard: Haha, I remember Grojband! That show had some catchy tunes and wild adventures. And Pajanimals? My younger cousins used to love that one—such a family-friendly pick.

ToonamiForever: The WotWots and Maryoku Yummy were definitely not the big headliners, but they had their own charm. It’s nice to see The Hub catering to a broad range of tastes, even including the lesser-known shows.

AnimeFan101: It's awesome they’re giving these lesser-known series some love. It really feels like a fresh start where everything’s welcome, from iconic shows to these obscure selections.

NostalgiaNerd: Agreed! The variety is impressive, and it shows they’ve thought about every kind of viewer. This lineup just keeps getting better, and who knows what other surprises they might have in store?

NarutoDieHard: For sure, and it’s proof that The Hub’s revival can be expansive and inclusive. Fingers crossed for a few more additions, maybe even some anime down the line.

ToonamiForever: Here's hoping! But for now, I’m just excited about re-experiencing these unique shows and diving back into that nostalgic feel we all love. Can't wait to see how this unfolds!

AnimeFan101: Me neither! It looks like The Hub is truly back and better than ever. Let’s get ready to revisit some classics and rediscover these obscure gems when the channel re-launches next week!



AnimeFan101: Oh, got it! So just before "The Hundo to End All Hundos" started today, the ad featured SheZow, Dan Vs., My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and Maryoku Yummy. They're really bringing back a diverse group of shows for The Hub's return!

NostalgiaNerd: I caught that too! I'm excited about SheZow. It had such a unique premise and was really fun to watch. And of course, Dan Vs. is always a laugh riot. It's nice to see these shows getting some attention.

NarutoDieHard: For sure! My Little Pony is a classic, so it’s no surprise they're spotlighting it. But Maryoku Yummy? That was a nice nod to some of the heartwarming and whimsical content The Hub had.

ToonamiForever: I think it’s great they're highlighting such a varied lineup. SheZow and Dan Vs. are so different in style and theme, but both have their unique charms. They're setting up The Hub to cater to a wide audience.

AnimeFan101: Definitely! This promo just shows how much they're trying to remind everyone of The Hub's unique offerings. Having everything from superhero antics with SheZow to the colorful adventures of My Little Pony covers a lot of ground.

NostalgiaNerd: And it's a clever way to generate interest across different fan bases. I'm thrilled to dive back into these shows once The Hub officially relaunches. Hopefully, they’ll continue to mix in such variety.

NarutoDieHard: Yep, it’s exciting to see where The Hub will go from here. Having such a broad spectrum of shows is a promising start, and it’ll be awesome to revisit some old favorites and maybe discover new ones.

ToonamiForever: Here’s to The Hub's revival and whatever surprises it might have in store! But first, let's enjoy this epic Naruto marathon one last time—and brace for a nostalgia-filled future with The Hub.
