Cartoon Network UK schedule June 2005 (My AU, so fictional)

Premiere of Battle B-Daman
The show is about Yamato Delgado (Daiwa in the Japanese version), who gets the legendary Cobalt Blade. He and his friends use the sport of B-Daman to fight the Shadow Alliance (who wants to take over the world). This show takes place in the B-Da World, a Post-Apocalyptic wasteland where its inhabitants are humans, anthropomorphic animals, and robots. Using the legendary B-Daman, Yamato enters the Winners tournament organized by a group (the JBA in the Japanese version and the IBA (International B-Daman Association) in English version) to become the B-Da Champion. However, he also ends up in fights against the Shadow Alliance.

Yamato Delgado (大輪 ヤマト, Daiwa Yamato)
Voiced by: Reiko Takagi (Japanese); Brian Beacock (Season 1), Tevi Eber (Season 2) (English)
Introduced in season one, 11-year-old Yamato is the main character. Raised by cats until the age of 5, his foster mother did not allow him to own a B-Daman until Cobalt Blade appeared to him one fateful night. Cobalt Blade, supposedly the best B-Daman ever made. But it gets heavily damaged by Cain McDonnell, one of Yamato's enemies. Following its near destruction, Cobalt Blade is rebuilt as Cobalt Saber, the first B-Daman to use the newly developed Blaster Core (also known as Delta core) system by Armada. This new system allowed the very core of the B-Daman to be modified. Yamato's special attack is Cobalt Power Blast, a powerful attack that utilizes the friction of the battlefield. Yamato somehow looks like a cat. He is most likely named after the powerful Japanese battleship Yamato. In the second season of the anime and second half of the manga, Yamato's Strike Shot is the Drive Shot for his new B-Daman called Cobalt Saber Fire, which would later be upgraded to Cobalt Blaster with the Cartridge system and the Stealth Drive Shot until the final episode in which Cobalt Blaster transformed into Cobalt Blaster Drive Cannon with the R.C. system and the Legend Drive Shot. In the manga, Yamato already begun with having a B-Daman named Cobalt Sword which would be upgraded to Cobalt Blade.

Bull Borgnine (ブル・ボーグナイン, Buru Bōgunain)
Voiced by: Kurumi Mamiya (Japanese); Mona Marshall (English)
Bull has three personalities: The calm and naive side, the confident side and the wild side that appears when he presents his B-Daman. This dark side remains until the end of a B-DaBattle and can enter a berserker state where he's practically invincible. He uses the B-Daman, Helio Breaker which later gets destroyed and he decides to be a B-Daman mechanic. Later on, he creates Helio Berserker and Helio Flyer which is either from the Delta Core or the Roller Core. Bull started appearing in season 1. He is 11 years old. In season one, Bull met a girl. She only likes Bull's hyper-form and when she learnt that the 'calm' Bull is the true Bull, she lost interest in him. She later goes on to like the calm, full of snot, true Bull. In Season 2, Bull meets up with Akyulus and eventually befriends the silent boy. Bull is the first ever friend of Akyulus. Nearing the start of the second Winners Tournament, he makes a decision to be a full-time B-Da Mechanic, vowing to make Revolver Hades, the best B-Daman ever so that Akyulus could use it to defeat Yamato.

The two enter into battle and Haja pretends to admit defeat. Falling for his trick, Haja snatches the Strike Shot from Terry and he shoots.

Shadow Alliance
The Shadow Alliance (called simply "Shadow" in Japan) are the main antagonists of Season One with goals of B-DaWorld Domination. Some members of the Shadow Alliance have a 3rd eye which is the symbol of the Shadow Alliance and is a sign that the character is under Marda B.'s control. There are two incarnations of the group: There was the original and the Neo Shadow Alliance. The members of this group are as following:

Marda B.
Voiced by: Paul St. Peter
Marda B. is the main villain of the 1st season who established the Shadow Alliance and Neo Shadow Alliance. Marda B. was a mysterious being who was the greatest B-DaPlayer. He was the first B-DaMaster. He was a good person, but also very competitive. When he asked for an eternal life to remain undefeated forever, he was punished by being turned into a spirit. His competitive side separated from him and became an evil spirit wanting to conquer the B-DaWorld. The good side came to live in a statue that guarded powerful B-DaBalls carrying his own essence, which became known as the B-Energy, the only thing that can defeat the evil Marda B. When Ababa had been depowered by Marda B. after being exposed as a criminal, he started the Neo Shadow Alliance, where all of the members he sent to, attack Yamato and the gang who were innocent B-DaPlayers under his control (with the exception of Enjyu, Biarce, Cain, and Joshua who joined on their own free will). Marda B.'s evil form seems to be one giant flaming eye (which is very similar in appearance to the eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings) that always seemed to be floating in the sky. In episode 51, Marda B. fuses with Biarce to form, Marda Biarce, and reveals his plot: He sent the Shadow Alliance after Cobalt Blade, sent the Neo Shadow Alliance to collect B-DaSpirits. and even created Biarce, just so he could culminate his plan to conquer the B-DaWorld by having the ultimate B-DaBattle with Yamato. At the end of the final episode of season 1, his full good form is revealed a seemingly huge gray cat wearing in a white topki.
Ababa
Voiced by: Steven Blum
An evil cat who worked for Marda B with the ability to brainwash people. He even managed to brainwash Bull. Ababa was the leader of the Shadow Alliance, which consisted of major characters like Gray, Enjyu, Wen, and Li. When depowered by Marda B, he is turned back into his original form, a purple cat with long hair. He makes a small cameo with the rest of the crowd, after Yamato and his friends return from defeating the Neo Shadow Alliance.
Enjyu (炎呪, Enju)
Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio (Japanese); Steve Staley (Season 1), James Keller (Season 2) (English)
Enjyu used to be a talented kid who wished to improve his skills more as a B-Daman player. His father, however wanted him to take a dive on each of his battles so his dad could pay for their rent. Before each battle, Enjyu's opponents would pay him to lose the match, making them look skilled and Enjyu, an amateur. Fed up of his life, Enjyu joined the Junior B-Daman Tournament. There he was disqualified after unfairly being accused of cheating due to his refusal to repeat his past life. After being betrayed by his only "friend", Enjyu took out his anger on his father in a B-DaBattle. As soon as the battle commenced, Enjyu's personality and hair changed from blue to red. The reason of why his hair changed color is uncertain. After the battle, Enjyu joined the Shadow Alliance where he later received Lightning Kahn (Bloody Kaiser in the original version), the brother of Cobalt Blade, as his new B-Daman. Later in the series, Lightning Kahn was upgraded to Blazing Kahn by Marda B. and later in season 2 is upgraded once more into Variable Kaiser (Hasbro never released a Cartridge System version, so the name remains unchanged), in order to defeat Yamato in the finals. However, instead of defeating him, Enjyu saved Yamato's life and quickly be-friended him. He later rejoined the Neo Shadow Alliance so that he could have fought Marda B. to avenge his new "friends". At the end of season 1, Marda B. brainwashes Enjyu, and Terry used his part of the B-Energy to set him free, but Enjyu wasn't happy about that. He was angry because he felt as if Terry wasted his B-Energy, which he could use to save the world, to save him. Although, Terry reasoned that he was his friend and he figured out, with the help of Joe, that it was the morally correct choice. The name is romanized as Enjyu in the English versions and Enju in the Japanese websites.[1] In Fire Spirits, he obtained his own Strike Shot called the Black Drive Shot from a boy that live at the icy mountain.
Wen Yong Fa (ウェン・ユンファ, Wen Yonfa)
Voiced by: Brad MacDonald
He is the older of the Yong Fa brothers. He joined the Shadow Alliance at a young age to become a stronger B-DaPlayer. Wen is often blunt and stubborn but also open-hearted and loyal to those he cares about. He and Li first appeared to fight Yamato in a B-DaBattle following Battle Crow's defeat. He uses the B-Daman, Bakuso which was later upgraded to King Bakuso by Bull, then finally to Suiseiryu by Bears and Armada. He changed his ways and left the Shadow Alliance after Yamato helped him in a battle against Enjyu. After Wen left, he continued to help Yamato and the gang, often under Armada's direction. He sometimes wore a mask and cape. When his younger brother, Li Yong Fa, joined the Neo Shadow Alliance to infiltrate Neo Shadow Alliance, he traveled with Yamato and his friends. Unfortunately, Li was not accepted into the alliance, and was made a puppet to Marda B. He eventually fought Li and brought him back to normal. The brothers have not separated since. His Strike Shot is the Metal Spike Shot.

Li and Wen first appeared to fight Yamato in a B-DaBattle following Battle Crow's defeat. He and his older brother have been helping Yamato after they left the Shadow Alliance. Later in the series, Enjyu begged Li to help him defeat Marda B. Like Enjyu, Li pretended to work for the Neo Shadow Alliance in order to find Marda B.'s weakness. But certain members did not trust Li's loyalties towards the Neo Shadow Alliance so Marda B. claimed Li's mind, giving Li the third eye and erasing all his past memories. Later, Wen tried to save his brother through a B-Dabattle. Luckily, Wen won and returned Li to his normal self.

About Da Boom Crew: Da Boom Crew: Four foster kids (Justin, Nate, Ricki and Jubei) create a video game about heroes going up against space alien terrorists. Then a portal appears and pulls them into a dimension which is just like the world in their game. They embark on a quest to find their missing video game cartridges and stop the sadistic extraterrestrial emperor Zorch from taking control of this intergalactic dimension.

Also 2 new shows coming soon to CN UK:

The Tofus: Environmental activists Mom and Pop Tofu, concerned that their family is suffocating from urban routine, decide to move to a farmhouse in the town of Beauvillage and embrace a more natural way of life, much to the horror of their pre-teen children, Chichi and Lola. They would rather watch TV and go shopping than amuse themselves with Grandma Buba's animals: Cracker the Rooster, Curly the Sheep, and Suzie the Goat. The siblings must cope with their parents' ecology-friendly world vision and the humiliation that results from their efforts to encourage others to protect the environment.

The neighbourhood that the family settles in is filled with electronically able individuals, contrasting the Tofus' all-organic lifestyle. Unlike her mechanical-genius brother Chichi–who believes in peace within the family–Lola is more cynical and averse to being deemed oddballs in their new home. She occupies herself with her attraction to Billy Hubbub, the boy next door, despite his parents objections. P.S: No one knows why their family is named the Tofu family, maybe it's linked to their enviromentalist lifestyle

What's with Andy?: The main character is Andy Larkin, a mischievous teen and the self-proclaimed "world's greatest prankster". The show follows him as he tries to perform elaborate practical jokes, or pranks, on people in the fictional town of East Gackle, as his best friend, Danny Pickett, helps him out with almost every prank; his antagonists include: his older sister, Jen Larkin; and the bullies Peter Lik and Andrew Leech. He has a crush on a girl named Lori Mackney, whom he usually tries to impress.

Tokyo Broadcasting Network Unveils New Hit Anime Inspired by MarioKart Franchise

Tokyo, May 4, 2005 — Tokyo Broadcasting Network (TBN), one of Japan’s leading television broadcasters, continues to captivate audiences with innovative programming and a unique brand identity led by their beloved mascot, Moko the mole. Known for her charming ability to melt into mud at will, Moko has become a familiar and endearing symbol across the network’s various broadcasts.

TBN’s latest success comes from their new anime series inspired by the globally popular MarioKart video game franchise. The show, simply titled “MarioKart Racers”, has quickly risen in popularity since its premiere earlier this year, drawing in a diverse audience of both gamers and anime fans.

“MarioKart Racers combines fast-paced action with vibrant characters and imaginative storylines that appeal to viewers of all ages,” said TBN’s Head of Animation, Yuki Tanaka. “We wanted to create a series that pays homage to the beloved video game while expanding its universe in exciting new ways.”

The anime follows the adventures of a group of dynamic racers traveling through colorful and challenging tracks, each with unique obstacles and power-ups reminiscent of the original MarioKart gameplay. The show highlights themes of friendship, competition, and perseverance, capturing the spirit of fun and excitement associated with the franchise.

Moko, TBN’s trademark mole mascot who appears regularly on the channel, has also made special cameo appearances in the series, delighting fans and strengthening the network’s branding efforts.

TBN continues to leverage Moko’s popularity across its marketing campaigns, merchandise, and interactive events, fostering a loyal community around their programming. The network’s innovative approach to combining traditional broadcasting with gaming culture is resonating strongly in Japan’s competitive entertainment market.

With MarioKart Racers topping ratings among children and young adults, TBN looks poised to expand the franchise further, with plans for merchandise releases and interactive online content scheduled later this year.

As TBN celebrates this major milestone, fans eagerly await what the network’s creative teams will deliver next, confident that under Moko’s watchful eye, the future of entertainment is both fun and full of surprises.

Topic: Toonami UK Schedule Revamp - Double Bills Removed! (Nov 4, 2005)

ShadowStrike89
Nov 4, 2005 10:15am
Just noticed that Toonami UK’s new schedule dropped most of their double bills starting today. No more back-to-back Dragon Ball Z or One Piece in the mornings. Seems like they’re spacing out the series more through the day.

I kinda miss the old format where you could watch two episodes in a row, but I guess this gives more variety. The 9pm shutdown remains the same tho, which is kinda weird in this day and age. Other channels run overnight, right?

KawaiiNeko
Nov 4, 2005 10:45am
Yeah, I saw that too. I think they’re trying to give more room to the new acquisitions, esp. Magical Adventures of Moko and MarioKart Racers. Both series are getting pretty solid slots now, no longer buried in repeats. Fingers crossed for some later evening airings someday!

The 9pm shutdown kinda sucks though. I remember CNX runs 24/7 or at least later into the night. And Cartoon Network UK definitely seems to air till late as well. Toonami looks like the odd one out with this early close, especially since they share the slot with CNX overnight.

MechaOtaku
Nov 4, 2005 11:05am
Toonami UK definitely has one of the shortest broadcasting days among the three. I think it officially signs off at 9pm most nights to hand over the channel space to CNX. CNX then runs its programming overnight. It’s kinda funny because Toonami is the "adult/tween" action block but they go off-air right when older fans are likely free to watch!

Meanwhile, CNX and Cartoon Network UK pretty much run around the clock, or at least close to it.

SlamDunkFan
Nov 4, 2005 11:30am
Yeah, that’s what I’ve noticed too. Cartoon Network UK has tons of late-night slots, plus early mornings. CNX (when it first launched) was basically a 24-hour channel if I recall correctly.

Toonami UK still feels like a kids' action block trapped in a limited timeslot bubble. The removal of double bills is nice for pacing but the short broadcast day limits what fans can see.

Is this a bandwidth thing or a licensing issue? Or just the way UK digital TV schedules are set up?

As someone who’s excited about Magical Adventures of Moko on Toonami UK, it’s nice to see it get better visibility with the new schedule. But yeah, it’s strange how Toonami still shuts down at 9pm.

I guess the channel space they have is shared with CNX, so CNX "takes over" the channel post 9pm? I remember reading somewhere that CNX is partly a nighttime spin-off from Cartoon Network/Toonami content, so maybe it’s a strategic move to differentiate audiences.

It’s a bummer for late viewers though. Hopefully, the daytime slots stay strong!

To answer the "Is Toonami the only one that shuts down early" question — yes, pretty much. Cartoon Network UK runs 24/7 with different blocks including Toonami in the evenings, but the channel itself doesn't "turn off". CNX is also a separate channel that typically runs overnight. Toonami UK is more of a branded programming block on a digital channel with fixed hours.

So this 9pm shutdown is mostly because Toonami UK shares its digital space with CNX or other programming. Hence, Toonami "signs off" at 9pm sharp and CNX takes over the same broadcast slot.

Thanks for the info, AnimeFanUK! Makes sense now why Toonami UK ends at 9pm even though it has a prime lineup. Kinda inconvenient since many hardcore fans might want to binge or catch late episodes after school or work.

If only they got a full channel or if CNX could merge the programming into a 24-hour block. For now, guess it’s the best we get.

Hopefully the popularity of MarioKart Racers and Magical Adventures of Moko will help Toonami UK get more hours. Anime is really growing here. Plus, with economy of scale, they might get more channel space or a separate 24-hour feed soon.

Meanwhile, I’ll just have to settle for the neat new schedule and enjoy those new shows during the day!

Anyone else catch the MarioKart Racers episode this morning? It’s surprisingly fun. Definitely one of Toonami’s highlights right now, alongside Battle B-Daman.

If only the schedule wasn’t so short… but at least the quality is improving!

Thanks for the great discussion, everyone! To confirm for newcomers: Toonami UK currently operates from early morning until 9pm, after which CNX takes over the same broadcast slot overnight. Cartoon Network UK is the only major Cartoon Network UK-owned channel running 24/7 continuously.

Feel free to keep sharing your thoughts and updates on the schedules!

Topic: Toonami UK’s Schedule and Show Lineup — Feels Kids-Focused?

ShadowStrike89
Nov 5, 2005 9:10am
I was looking through Toonami UK’s lineup again, and it strikes me how few kid-friendly shows they actually have. It’s mostly just Magical Adventures of Moko, Battle B-Daman, MarioKart Racers, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The rest of the lineup is really more shonen anime aimed at teens or older kids.

Makes me wonder if Toonami UK is struggling to balance between its “older action block” vibe and the kid shows they have to air.

KawaiiNeko
Nov 5, 2005 9:35am
Yeah, I noticed that too. Compared to Cartoon Network UK, which has tons of preschool and early elementary shows, Toonami UK sticks mostly to that middle grade/older kids demographic. The fact that their “kid” shows are only a handful kinda makes the channel feel narrow sometimes.

I guess Magical Adventures of Moko is the closest you get to lighthearted, kid-friendly fantasy, but even then, it’s anime-style and probably aimed at slightly older kids.

MechaOtaku
Nov 5, 2005 10:00am
True. Toonami UK’s core audience has always been “tween and teen boys who like action and adventure anime.” So of course their lineup focuses on shows like Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Battle B-Daman — all action-heavy and sometimes intense.

Shows like MarioKart Racers and Magical Adventures of Moko serve as the token “younger kid” options, but you won’t find much preschool-friendly content there. That’s Cartoon Network UK’s department.

SlamDunkFan
Nov 5, 2005 10:20am
Can’t forget Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles though — that’s pretty much the other big “kid show” on the block. But yeah, aside from that and Yu-Gi-Oh!, it’s mostly shonen/action-heavy anime.

It kinda makes sense if Toonami UK wants to separate itself from Cartoon Network UK’s more general and younger focus. But the line gets blurry when adult/older teen viewers expect something different.

MokoLover95
Nov 5, 2005 10:45am
I wonder if they’ll ever try expanding the younger show choices on Toonami UK — maybe more shows like Magical Adventures of Moko or Battle B-Daman. It’s nice to have some lighter fare in between heavy hitters like Naruto and Gundam Seed.

Right now, the kid shows feel like they’re just filling small gaps in the schedule.

AnimeFanUK
Nov 5, 2005 11:10am
It’s just the structure of Toonami UK as a block designed for action. Their audience is mostly 10–16 year olds who want action and adventure, so they don’t bother much with preschool or little kid shows.

If you want shows primarily aimed at younger kids, stick to Cartoon Network UK or CITV. Toonami UK really only has a few “family friendly” or kid-style shows — and the rest tends to be more intense or mature in tone.

ShadowStrike89
Nov 5, 2005 11:45am
Makes sense. So basically, Toonami UK is an action/anime-heavy channel with just a smattering of “kid shows” like Moko, B-Daman, MarioKart Racers, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and TMNT — and that’s it.

I’m cool with that since that’s the reason I watch, but I bet some younger kids might find the schedule a bit limited if they want more variety.

Moderator (AnimeUK)
Nov 5, 2005 12:00pm
Great points, everyone! To summarize: Toonami UK’s lineup is mostly action/shonen anime with only a few lighthearted kid shows to balance things out — mainly Magical Adventures of Moko, Battle B-Daman, MarioKart Racers, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

For a broader variety of kid-centric programming, Cartoon Network UK is the go-to channel.

Write a follow up where Da Boom Crew is gone from CN UK on January 2, replaced by one of the Toonami kid shows

AnimeUK Forum
Topic: CN UK Jan 2006 Lineup Change — Da Boom Crew Replaced by Battle B-Daman!

KawaiiNeko
Jan 3, 2006 9:15am
Just noticed that Da Boom Crew disappeared from the Cartoon Network UK schedule starting Jan 2nd. It’s been replaced in that afternoon slot by none other than Battle B-Daman — that Toonami kid show!

I actually think Battle B-Daman fits the CN UK daytime block a bit better since Da Boom Crew didn’t seem to catch on with viewers as much. Battle B-Daman’s action/sports theme and colorful characters are more in line with shows like Foster’s Home and Xiaolin Showdown.

ShadowStrike89
Jan 3, 2006 9:40am
Yeah I saw that too. Da Boom Crew was always kind of a weird fit on CN UK, and didn’t seem to get much traction. Battle B-Daman might do better — it’s a bit more energetic and has an established fanbase thanks to Toonami UK. Plus, cross-channel synergy!

Not sure if CN UK is planning to fully drop Da Boom Crew or just rotate it out though. Anybody know?

MechaOtaku
Jan 3, 2006 10:05am
From what I’ve heard, it’s mostly a full removal for now. Da Boom Crew had a short run and low ratings. CN UK wants shows that attract bigger audiences. Since Battle B-Daman is a proven performer and has that collectible toy tie-in, it’s a solid replacement.

Also, given Battle B-Daman’s expanded exposure on Toonami UK, it makes sense to leverage its popularity on CN UK daytime.

MokoLover95
Jan 3, 2006 10:30am
Not surprised with this swap — Da Boom Crew just couldn’t compete with the other action shows. Battle B-Daman is more engaging and has deeper lore, so it’s a win.

Would love to see CN UK give Magical Adventures of Moko some more slots too, since it’s one of my favourites.

AnimeFanUK
Jan 3, 2006 11:00am
This fits the general trend of Cartoon Network UK streamlining their lineup and focusing on stronger brands. Battle B-Daman’s toyline and anime connection give it an edge over Da Boom Crew, which lacked merchandising and had a more niche concept.

Hopefully Battle B-Daman’s addition boosts afternoon ratings. Wouldn’t be shocked if more Toonami shows start appearing on CN UK too.

ShadowStrike89
Jan 3, 2006 11:30am
Thanks for the insights! Guess this means Toonami UK and CN UK are coordinating more closely now, sharing hits like Battle B-Daman. Makes me wonder if MarioKart Racers or Magical Adventures of Moko might get similar treatment down the line.

Gotta say, this change makes the CN UK afternoon even more interesting!

Moderator (AnimeUK)
Jan 3, 2006 12:00pm
Confirmed: Cartoon Network UK has replaced Da Boom Crew with Battle B-Daman starting Jan 2nd in the afternoon block. The swap is part of CN UK’s lineup refresh for early 2006, aiming to bring stronger brands and action-adventure titles to viewers.

Stay tuned to the forum for any more schedule updates and programming news!

Write a follow up saying B-Daman has been on CN since June, it's just the show peformed so well (and the toys sold very good over Xmas) that CN gave it a extra slot, Also it (along with Yu-Gi-Oh and the Turtles) are the only 3 shows that air on both channels

AnimeUK Forum
Topic: RE: CN UK Jan 2006 Lineup Change — Why B-Daman Got an Extra Slot

KawaiiNeko
Jan 5, 2006 9:00am
Just to add some clarification on the Battle B-Daman situation — the show has actually been on Cartoon Network UK since June 2005! It’s not a brand new acquisition or anything. What’s happened is that B-Daman has performed really well, especially over the Christmas period with the toy sales booming.

Because of its strong ratings and merchandise success, CN UK decided to give Battle B-Daman an extra afternoon slot and take over the one Da Boom Crew was using. It makes sense — B-Daman has a loyal fanbase and the collectible toys keep kids engaged beyond just the show.

Also interestingly, Battle B-Daman is now officially one of only three shows airing on both Cartoon Network UK and Toonami UK simultaneously — the other two being Yu-Gi-Oh! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s a neat crossover that probably helps build the fan communities across both channels.

ShadowStrike89
Jan 5, 2006 9:30am
Good points, KawaiiNeko! I didn’t realize B-Daman had that kind of longevity on CN UK already. It definitely makes the channel’s lineup feel more cohesive when some shows air on both CN and Toonami.

Yu-Gi-Oh! and the Turtles have always been the dual-appearing “bridge” shows for casual and younger viewers alike, so it’s cool to see B-Daman join that club.

MechaOtaku
Jan 5, 2006 10:00am
Exactly. This kind of cross-channel programming strategy is smart, since the shows can attract different demographics depending on the time and channel. Toonami UK leans more toward older kids and teens, whereas CN UK often targets a broader, younger audience during the day.

Battle B-Daman’s action and toy tie-in make it a perfect candidate to air on both. Plus, it’s clearly outperforming shows like Da Boom Crew, so the extra slot is deserved.

MokoLover95
Jan 5, 2006 10:30am
I’m happy Battle B-Daman is getting more exposure! The show’s gotten better over time, and the toys are pretty cool. I hope Magical Adventures of Moko gets a similar boost someday, maybe with an extra slot or better promotion.

AnimeFanUK
Jan 5, 2006 11:00am
This is a great example of how toy-driven anime shows can thrive on UK TV when they have strong merchandise backing and good timeslots. CN UK and Toonami UK seem to be learning from this and balancing their schedules accordingly.

With Yu-Gi-Oh!, TMNT, and now Battle B-Daman, the cross-channel synergy is clear. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see MarioKart Racers or Magical Adventures of Moko getting similar treatment soon if their popularity grows.

ShadowStrike89
Jan 5, 2006 11:30am
Here’s hoping! Meanwhile, I’ll be tuning in daily to catch more Battle B-Daman on CN UK and Toonami UK. Nice to have some consistency between the channels for once.

Jan 5, 2006 12:00pm
Thanks for the great discussion, everyone. To confirm: Battle B-Daman has aired on Cartoon Network UK since June 2005 and due to strong performance and toy sales, it was granted an additional timeslot starting January 2006, replacing Da Boom Crew.

Alongside Yu-Gi-Oh! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Battle B-Daman is one of the few shows airing concurrently on both CN UK and Toonami UK, demonstrating cross-channel programming strategies.

ShadowStrike89
Jan 6, 2006 9:20am

Hey everyone, just wanted to recap what went down on Cartoon Network UK on January 2, 2006 — it looks like CN is really starting a new chapter this year!

First off, they debuted three brand new shows in the lineup, which feels like a fresh push for the channel. The new shows are Ben 10, Squish, and Skatoony, However, 3 more important shows will debut soon enough. Plus, new episodes of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends began airing, which is always a big deal since that show has such a strong fanbase.

And of course, Battle B-Daman received an extra afternoon slot, replacing Da Boom Crew, reflecting how well it’s been doing both ratings-wise and with toy sales.

It really feels like CN UK is doubling down on proven hits and shaking up the schedule to capture more viewers early in 2006. Excited to see how this new era shapes up!

Anyone else notice any other cool changes or new shows this week?

KawaiiNeko
Jan 6, 2006 9:45am

Totally agree, ShadowStrike! The fresh shows gave CN UK a much-needed boost, and Foster’s new episodes were a nice surprise. Plus, Battle B-Daman’s extra slot means we get to see more of it, which is awesome.

Feels like CN is embracing a blend of new content and fan favorites to keep viewers hooked. Can’t wait to see what else they have planned!

MechaOtaku
Jan 6, 2006 10:10am

Yep, this January change definitely marks a turning point. The combination of fresh anime, cartoon staples like Foster’s, and strong toyline-backed shows like B-Daman gives CN UK a well-rounded vibe.

CN UK might be setting itself up for a stronger year ahead. Looking forward to more updates!

Moderator (AnimeUK)

Great summary! To confirm for everyone: CN UK kicked off 2006 with three new shows debuting on January 2nd, new episodes of Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends returning to the schedule, plus an additional Battle B-Daman slot added to afternoons. Looks like the channel is gearing up for a strong lineup this year.

Thanks for keeping the discussion going!

Topic: What’s Squish About?

KawaiiNeko
Jan 7, 2006 8:50am
Hey everyone! I’ve been seeing “Squish” pop up on the new Cartoon Network UK schedule starting recently, but I haven’t really caught an episode yet. Can anyone tell me what Squish is about? Is it an original CN show or imported? What kind of vibe does it have — comedy, action, something for kids, or older audience?

Would love some info before I tune in!

ShadowStrike89
Jan 7, 2006 9:15am
Hey KawaiiNeko, I can help out! Squish is an animated series based on a graphic novel series by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm (the same creators behind Babymouse). It’s kind of a mix of middle-grade slice-of-life and comedy with a quirky style.

The main character, Squish, is an amoeba who’s navigating school, friends, and all the challenges of growing up, just from a microscopic perspective. It’s lighthearted, funny, and often teaches positive lessons about friendship, facing fears, and being yourself.

It’s definitely kid-friendly and aimed mostly at elementary school age kids, but has some humor that older viewers can appreciate too. From what I’ve caught, it’s a nice break from the usual high-energy action shows and fits the CN UK afternoon block well.

MechaOtaku
Jan 7, 2006 9:40am
Yeah, Squish is a chill kind of show compared to a lot of the CN lineup. I think CN UK picked it to diversify their daytime offerings — something less intense than shows like Battle B-Daman or Yu-Gi-Oh! but still fun and engaging for kids.

It’s got some clever writing and cute animation. Not groundbreaking, but a solid little show for younger kids with some heart.

MokoLover95
Jan 7, 2006 10:05am
Thanks for the info! That sounds pretty cool. I like when CN mixes in shows that aren’t just action or fantasy. Gives kids more options and balances the schedule.

I’ll try to catch some episodes of Squish this week and see if it grows on me!

AnimeFanUK
Jan 7, 2006 10:30am
Just to add, Squish originally aired in the US on PBS Kids too, so it’s got a reputation for being educational and entertaining. The show's art style is simple but charming, which helps it stand out from flashier CN shows. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into character-driven stories with humor and heart.

User2: Yup! They’re introducing "Spider Riders" and "Monster Allergy" to the line-up. Plus, there's going to be a new cartoon featuring Kidiminiz. I'm pretty intrigued by that last one since it's a bit mysterious!

User3: Wait, so does this mean they’re finally dropping the City look? I love the vibe, but I guess it might be time for a change?

User4: Yep, confirmed! The City look is getting replaced. I’ve heard they’re going for something totally fresh and different. It’s going to be interesting to see how the channel branding changes.

User5: Spider Riders sounds cool! I remember catching an episode online before, but I never thought it would come to Cartoon Network UK!

User6: I’m more excited about "Monster Allergy." It has this European comic book vibe that’s really unique. I think it’ll bring some nice diversity to the lineup.

User7: Any details on the Kidiminiz cartoon? I’ve only heard about the toy line, so I’m curious about how it'll translate into a show.

User3: Not much info yet, just that it involves funny adventures with these digital pet-like creatures. Might be aimed at a younger audience, but it could be a fun watch.

User2: Wow, May 24 is going to be packed. New shows and a new look, it’s like a total Cartoon Network makeover!

User1: Does anyone know if these changes will affect the current schedule? I don’t want to miss out on any of my favorite shows.

User5: I think there might be some reshuffling to accommodate the new shows, but I would assume they’d keep most of the favorites. Fingers crossed!

User6: As long as "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" and "Ben 10" don't go, I'm happy. But I'm ready to welcome the new additions too!

User7: Same here! I hope they release the new schedule soon so we can plan our watches. Can't wait to see the new look on the channel too!

KIKI, a sleek silver robot cat with glowing blue eyes, darts through the garden chasing fluttering digital butterflies. MIMI, an energetic robot dog with a wagging antenna tail, follows at a happy trot. ZUZU, the robot rabbit with round glasses perched on her nose, hops along thoughtfully.

KIKI
(Excited)
Catch me if you can, Mimi!

MIMI
(Laughing)
Oh, I’m catching you, Kiki! Just watch!

ZUZU
(Adjusting glasses)
Wait, wait! Before you two zoom off, I found a challenge embedded in the city’s code! It could be fun for all of us.

KIKI
(Smiling)
A challenge? What kind?

ZUZU
A DigiRace through the city! It’s a big playground with twists and turns, puzzles, and shortcuts.

MIMI
(Sniffing the air)
Sounds like a perfect game for today!

They high-five (or whatever robotic equivalent) and race toward the city.

Scene 2: DigiCity Streets

The grand virtual city glows in neon colors. Kiki, Mimi, and Zuzu line up at a starting line with other Kidiminiz pets buzzing with excitement.

ZUZU
(Announcing)
Welcome to the first-ever Great DigiRace! Ready... Set... Go!

They zoom off! Kiki dashes swiftly through alleyways, Mimi jumps over light bridges, and Zuzu uses her glasses interface to analyze and find shortcuts.

Scene 3: Mid-Race - Tricky Circuit

Some new Kidiminiz trail behind, looking confused. They get stuck in a complex maze of digital code blocking their path.

NEW KIDIMINI #1
(Worried)
How do we get through this?

Kiki slows down and runs back.

KIKI
(Encouraging)
Hey! Don’t worry. We’ve got this together.

MIMI
(Joining)
Let’s all figure it out!

ZUZU
(Adjusting glasses)
Watch this—I can hack the code here to open a path!

Zuzu taps her paw, and a gate of binary code splits open, revealing a shortcut.

NEW KIDIMINI #2
(Gratefully)
Thanks, Zuzu! You’re amazing!

Scene 4: Finish Line

Instead of racing ahead alone, Kiki, Mimi, and Zuzu slow down to run along with their new friends. Laughter echoes as they cross the finish line all together.

MIMI
(Out of breath, laughing)
This was way better than just winning!

KIKI
(Purring happily)
Yeah, teamwork makes the adventure even sweeter.

ZUZU
(Smiling behind her glasses)
Next time, we'll invite even more friends!

Scene 5: Sunset on DigiHill

Kiki, Mimi, and Zuzu sit side by side watching DigiHaven’s glowing sunset.

KIKI
(Thoughtful)
I can’t wait for our next playful adventure.

MIMI
(Wagging antenna)
Me neither! Whatever it is, we’ll have fun together.

ZUZU
(Nods)
Together, there’s nothing we can’t explore.

They share a friendly nod as the screen fades into the glowing night cityscape.

Forum Thread: Big Changes and New Episodes on Cartoon Network UK - May 24!

User1: Hey everyone, did you hear about the new presentation style Cartoon Network UK is rolling out on May 24? It's going to have arrows in the surrounding presentation, and the idents sound really fun!

User2: Yeah, I heard! The idents are going to feature random skits that end with the CN logo forming. Some of them sound hilarious, like the dentist one and the parachute one.

User3: The dentist skit is such a weird concept, but that’s what makes it great! I also like the idea of the bunnies in a squash-and-stretch visual. Classic cartoon humor!

User4: I'm really curious about the transformers ident. It sounds epic with the fighting mech robots turning into the logo. Can't wait to see how they pull it off!

User5: The moon one is my favorite! Imagine planting seeds and ending up with the CN logo. It’s so random but fits the quirky theme they’re going for.

User6: Don't forget about the high noon skit. Cowboys shooting out the logo sounds like a perfect mix of Western and cartoon chaos.

User7: Plus, I read that 6 shows are getting new episodes on the same day. It's going to be a big refresh for the channel. Any ideas which shows are included?

User8: I’m guessing "Ben 10" and "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" might be getting new episodes, considering their popularity. Anyone else heard which shows?

User2: Maybe "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy"? It's been a while since we've seen anything new from them.

User1: I'm hoping "Adventure Time" gets some new episodes. It's such a fan favorite, they have to be planning something for it!

User5: It feels like Cartoon Network is really stepping up their game. The new look, the skits, the fresh episodes – it’s like the channel is reinventing itself!

User3: Totally agree! I think it's going to make watching even more entertaining. Those skits sound like they'll be fun surprises in between the shows.

User6: I can't wait to see everything unfold on May 24. Setting my DVR to catch all the newness!

🚨 Exciting news for #CartoonNetworkUK fans! 🎉 On May 24, new episodes are dropping for these amazing shows:

Ben 10 🛸
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends 👻
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy 💀
Adventure Time 🌈
Codename: Kids Next Door 🕵️
Camp Lazlo 🏕
Plus, get ready for a fresh new look & quirky idents! 📺✨ #CartoonNetwork #NewEpisodes #May24

Turner Broadcasting is rebranding its Toonami kids channel as part of an overhaul of its children's programming portfolio that will see the launch of a new pre-school service.

Toonami, which sits in Turner's kids portfolio alongside Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Cartoon Network Too and Boomerang +1, will be replaced as a standalone channel by Cartoonito on May 24.

Cartoonito, the pre-school block introduced as a daily strand in September on Cartoon Network Too, is being spun out to become a full channel in its own right.

Cartoon Network Too will move to Toonami's channel slot on the electronic programme guide, with Cartoonito taking over Cartoon Network Too's place.

Programming from the the Toonami service will shift to Cartoon Network Too, replacing the Cartoonito block.

"These changes are designed to give Turner a broader kids' proposition with an earlier entry point to our brands through the provision of a wholly pre-school channel," said Dee Forbes, the senior vice-president and general manager of Turner Broadcasting UK & Ireland.

"Our audience can now grow with our brands from Cartoonito to Boomerang to Cartoon Network to Cartoon Network Too."

Cartoon Network will remain the flagship Turner kids channel. All the Turner kids channels will undergo a branding and identity overhaul this year.

"We are very aware that kids' TV is highly competitive and has also taken industry-wide knocks in terms of advertising restrictions and depletion of original programming," said Ms Forbes.

"Turner has upped the ante regarding original production and has recently launched a dedicated Cartoon Network Development Studio charged with making UK produced content."

Forum Thread: Turner’s Toonami Changes & New Channel Launch - May 24!

User1: Big changes coming from Turner Broadcasting! Toonami's rebranding and a new pre-school channel is launching soon. What's everyone think?

User2: Toonami closing is basically Third Impact in real life... 😭 Anyone up for an Eva binge to cope?

User3: Can't believe it's happening! But hey, at least they’re launching Cartoonito to focus on pre-school content. Makes sense, I guess.

User4: Yeah, for sure! The transition makes sense from a strategy standpoint, but losing Toonami as a standalone is tough for longtime fans.

User5: I read that promos are already running for the launch of CN Too taking over Toonami’s slot and for the merger. Cartoonito’s taking the place of CN Too, right?

User6: Correct, Toonami shows are moving to CN Too. They're really trying to streamline everything. But these changes... it's quite the shake-up!

User7: Speaking of changes, have you seen the short stings appearing on Cartoon Network? There are four scenarios so far, teasing the rebranding.

User8: I've caught a couple! They’re fun and intriguing—definitely in line with CN’s quirky style. Keeps the anticipation high for May 24!

User3: On top of that, promos for three new shows are running too—all debuting on May 24. Anyone know what they are?

User4: Yeah, two of them recently aired in the States on Kids' WB. And don’t forget, "Storm Hawks" is premiering only on weekends, starting May 26!

User1: Wow, Turner’s really pulling out all the stops with these changes. I’m curious how Cartoonito will fit in, and what unique content they’ll offer.

User5: Cartoon Network continues to be the flagship channel. Curious to see the new branding across all these places once everything settles.

User6: Absolutely, it’s exciting and a bit sad at the same time. But with the new shows and channels, there’s a lot to look forward to!

User8: Guess it’s an end of an era for Toonami, but also the dawn of a new one with these preschools and show launches. Got to admit, they know how to keep things interesting!

Write a follow up revealing the 3 debuting on May 24, also the 4 stings are actually parts of 4 of the new idents

Forum Thread: More Details on Cartoon Network UK Changes - May 24!

User1: Hey everyone, I’ve got some updates on the Cartoon Network changes happening on May 24! The three shows debuting are "Spider Riders," "Monster Allergy," and a brand-new "Kidiminiz" cartoon. Exciting times ahead!

User2: Wow, “Spider Riders” and “Monster Allergy” are finally hitting our screens. I’ve been waiting for “Monster Allergy” ever since I heard it’s based on European comics!

User3: And don’t forget about "Kidiminiz." Curious how they’ll expand on the virtual pets concept in an animated series. It should be interesting!

User4: Thanks for the update! Sounds like a fresh lineup to spice up the schedule. Wasn't there something about stings being parts of the new idents?

User5: Yes, those stings we've been seeing are actually clips from four of the new idents coming on May 24. They’re giving us a sneak peek of the concepts before the full rollout.

User6: I saw one of them with the black and white bunnies! Can't wait to see the rest. These are going to add a nice layer of fun between shows.

User7: It's cool how they’re teasing the new presentation style. Those idents are going to make the transitions between shows a lot more entertaining, for sure.

User8: I love how they’re using these fun, short snippets to get everyone hyped. I guess they’re showing what the new vibe is going to be like for Cartoon Network.

Forum Thread: Thoughts on Cartoon Network UK's New Look and Shows?

User1: So, it's been a couple of days since the May 24 update on Cartoon Network UK. How's everyone feeling about the new look and the new shows?

User2: I love it! The new presentation style is really fresh. The arrows and quirky idents definitely make the channel feel more dynamic.

User3: Agreed! The idents are hilarious. My favorite has to be the Dentist one where the girl's teeth turn into the CN logo. Classic Cartoon Network humor! 😂

User4: As for the new shows, I'm really into "Spider Riders" and "Monster Allergy." They add a nice variety to the lineup. "Monster Allergy" especially feels unique with its European comic vibes.

User5: Did anyone catch "The Adventures of the Kidiminiz"? I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's surprisingly fun. The digital pets concept translates well into a show.

User6: I’m stoked about the new episodes of "Adventure Time." It's like having my morning coffee with a dose of nostalgia and adventure! 🌈

User7: Yes! And the revamped "Ben 10" episodes are really engaging. They seem to have upped the stakes and made it even more action-packed.

User1: I was worried the schedule might feel overcrowded, but the reshuffling has been smooth. It feels like there's something for everyone during different parts of the day.

User3: It's great to see that the classics are still around too. I love catching "Ed, Edd n Eddy" in the mornings. Just doesn't feel like CN without it!

User8: Overall, I think the changes have been positive. It feels like a new chapter for CN UK, and I'm here for it! How's everyone else feeling about it?

User2: Totally! Looking forward to what else they might bring to the table. It feels like a good time to be a Cartoon Network fan. 🎉

User4: Couldn't agree more. Let's hope this is just the beginning of more new content and maybe other fresh concepts in the future.

Write a follow up noticing Toonami is now CN Too, Same branding in use on both channels, also the following 9 from current CN in this AU have joined, Also is there a official name for the new look

Forum Thread: CN Too Takes Over Toonami & New Shows Join the Lineup!

User1: Big changes in the cartoon world! I just noticed that Toonami is now rebranded as CN Too, and they're using the same branding as Cartoon Network UK. Has anyone else caught this?

User2: Yeah, I saw that! It’s interesting to see CN Too taking on the same look. Makes flipping between the two channels super seamless. Any idea if there's an official name for this new look?

User3: From what I’ve gathered, they’re calling it the "Dynamic Adventures" theme. It’s all about energy and quirky humor, which definitely shows in the idents and presentation style.

User4: Also, I heard that nine shows from our current Cartoon Network lineup have joined CN Too. Anyone know which ones?

User5: Here's what I found: "Ed, Edd n Eddy," "The Powerpuff Girls (1998)," "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends," "Ben 10," "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy," "Regular Show," "Adventure Time," "Codename: Kids Next Door," and "The Tofus."

User6: Wow, that’s a solid mix of classics and more modern stuff. It’s like they’re trying to capture the best of both worlds on CN Too.

User7: This is great for people who might be missing their favorites due to schedule conflicts. Now they can catch them on either channel!

User1: Exactly, more flexibility for fans to indulge in their favorite cartoons. I’m loving the synchronicity between the two channels.

User8: Honestly, I wasn't sure about the changes at first, but now I think I prefer this setup. It feels like there's more cohesion in the CN universe.

User2: Agreed, it's like having extra time slots for your favorite shows, plus the consistent branding keeps things familiar. Looking forward to seeing how both channels evolve!

User4: Me too! This feels like a win-win for all the Cartoon Network fans out there. 🎉

Forum Thread: What Happened to the Toonami Shows on CN Too?

User1: With the Toonami rebranding to CN Too, I’m curious—what happened to all the shows that used to air on Toonami? Did any of them make the cut?

User2: I was wondering the same thing! I know some shows probably didn't fit with the new branding. Surely the more mature stuff, like "Evangelion," is gone now, right?

User3: Yeah, you're right. The mature series like "Evangelion" and other similar content had to be cut due to CN Too’s focus on a broader youth audience.

User4: From what I’ve seen, the ones that made it over include less mature but action-packed series like "Dragon Ball Z," "Naruto," and "One Piece," which fit better with CN Too’s vibe.

User5: They also kept series like "Teen Titans" and "Justice League." Definitely safer options for a younger audience but still packed with action.

User6: I’m glad "Dragon Ball Z" stuck around. It was such a staple of Toonami, and seeing it on CN Too feels nostalgic!

User7: There are also whispers that some Toonami classics might see reimagined versions on CN Too in the future, which could be cool.

User8: It’s a smart move to blend some Toonami action with the existing CN flair. Keeps things fresh while not losing that adrenaline rush.

User1: Totally makes sense. Judging by how much prep they’ve done for this change, I trust they’re curating a solid lineup for CN Too that’ll still cater to fans of high-energy action.

User3: Looking forward to seeing how this new lineup develops. Maybe we'll get some surprises along the way!

Write a follow up asking if the teaser stings aired on Toonami as well

Forum Thread: Teaser Stings on Toonami Before the Rebranding?

User1: Hey everyone! Quick question—did those teaser stings for the new Cartoon Network UK look air on Toonami before it rebranded to CN Too?

User2: I was flipping between channels a lot during that time, and I did notice a few stings on Toonami. They seemed to sync up with what was happening on Cartoon Network.

User3: Yeah, I saw a couple of them! It was interesting to see them popping up on Toonami. I guess they were trying to keep all the Turner channels somewhat in sync before the big changes.

User4: I think it was a smart move. Helps to get viewers ready for the new unified branding approach, especially since some of the same shows would be shifting over.

User5: It was kind of cool seeing the anticipation being built up on Toonami as well. Those quick stings definitely had me guessing what was coming.

User6: Plus, airing the stings on both channels probably created a seamless transition into CN Too for viewers who were already watching Toonami.

User1: Makes sense! It certainly kept the anticipation high. Thanks for confirming, everyone. It’s nice knowing they tied everything together so well.

User8: Definitely a smart way to make sure the audience was on the same page before everything shifted. It's like they really wanted to unite both channels.

User3: I'm glad they did that. It made me more curious about what was coming, and it seems like it worked well for the transition!

Write a reply asking what bumper it was, he replies

User1: What bumper was it? I'm curious! 🤔

User2: It was the "High Noon" ident with the two cowboys! Their guns shot out the CN logo instead of bullets. It was such a fun twist—totally caught me off guard! 🤠🔫 #CartoonNetworkUK #NewLook

Write a conversation asking if one of the less popular shows replaced Eva "I mean, NGE was shown at 11pm"

Forum Thread: What Replaced NGE on Toonami's Late-Night Slot?

User1: Now that Toonami is rebranded as CN Too, did they replace some of the mature content with less popular shows? I mean, "Neon Genesis Evangelion" used to air at 11 PM.

User2: I've been wondering the same thing. The late-night slot was prime time for shows like NGE. Surely they didn't keep anything too mature on CN Too?

User3: From what I heard, CN Too has shifted away from mature anime content. They’re definitely aiming for a more kid-friendly vibe, even in the later slots.

User4: Yeah, I think they replaced "Evangelion" with something more in line with the current programming. I believe it's "The Tofus" or "Robotboy" taking up the slot now, which is definitely a shift!

User5: That makes sense. I remember "The Tofus" being one of the less popular shows, so it’s not too surprising if they’re filling late-night gaps with it.

User6: It's a bit of a bummer for late-night anime fans, but I guess it aligns with their new direction. Have to cater to broader youth audiences now.

User1: True, it's understandable. I guess I'll have to find my NGE fix elsewhere now!

User3: Agreed! It was bound to change, but hey, it's probably best for CN Too's new branding focus. More room for some classic Cartoon Network fun!

User5: Exactly. Maybe we'll get new unexpected favorites in those slots as the channel continues to evolve.

Write a follow up after checking the slot

Forum Thread: Late-Night Slot Check on CN Too - What's Airing Now?

User1: Just checked the late-night slot on CN Too where "Neon Genesis Evangelion" used to air at 11 PM. Turns out they've filled it with "The Tofus" now. Definitely unexpected!

User2: Wow, that's quite a pivot from NGE! "The Tofus" is such a different vibe. I wonder if they're experimenting with different shows in those late slots.

User3: Makes sense to switch things up with the rebranding. It’s interesting they picked "The Tofus" though—not exactly a heavy hitter, but I guess they're playing it safe.

User4: Yeah, I imagine they're trying to keep everything consistent with the new kid-friendly direction of CN Too. Replacing a mature anime with something like "The Tofus" reflects that pretty well.

User5: I was half expecting "Robotboy" or something similar to take over based on the current line-ups. But guess they’re working with what they have!

User6: Interesting choice for sure. It’s like they’re using these slots to see what holds interest late at night. Could change again if viewer feedback isn't great.

User1: Absolutely! I’ll be curious to see if they stick with "The Tofus" in the long run or if it's just a placeholder while they gauge audience response.

User3: It's a brave new world on CN Too post-Toonami! Excited to see how they continue to tweak the channel with their evolving approach.

Write a conversation noting out of the trio joining on May 24, only ONE will be on Too (at least right now), It airs at 7pm

Forum Thread: May 24 New Shows—Only One on CN Too?

User1: I was looking over the new schedules and noticed that out of the three new shows debuting on Cartoon Network UK on May 24, only one of them is airing on CN Too. Did anyone else catch which one it is?

User2: Yeah, I noticed that too! I believe "The Adventures of the Kidiminiz" is the only one making its way over to CN Too, and it airs at 7 PM.

User3: That's interesting! I wonder why they chose that one specifically. Maybe it fits better with CN Too's broader audience approach?

User4: Could be! "Kidiminiz" does seem like it has a playful vibe that aligns well with CN Too’s brand following the Toonami rebrand.

User5: Makes sense to introduce the newer, less intense content on CN Too. "Spider Riders" and "Monster Allergy" seem to fit better with Cartoon Network UK's main programming lineup.

User6: Exactly. I think CN Too is aiming to strike a balance between keeping legacy shows and bringing in content that keeps a broad viewership engaged.

User1: I was expecting they might air all three over there eventually, but maybe they're testing the waters first with "Kidiminiz."

User3: Yeah, could be a teaser to see how audiences respond. If it does well, maybe they’ll consider shifting more new content to CN Too.

User5: Either way, I’m curious how "Kidiminiz" will perform on CN Too and if it influences any programming decisions down the line.

User4: Definitely! If it catches on, who knows what more could end up on the schedule. It’s an interesting time to be a CN Too viewer for sure.

Write a follow up where this basically confirms Toonami is DEAD

Forum Thread: Is This the End of Toonami as We Know It?

User1: So with "The Tofus" replacing "Neon Genesis Evangelion" in the late-night slot on CN Too, does this mean Toonami is officially dead?

User2: Honestly, it sure seems that way. The transition to CN Too and the change in programming lineup pretty much confirms Toonami’s original identity is gone.

User3: Yeah, it's kind of sad. Toonami was iconic for its action-packed anime and mature animations. Replacing that with lighter fare means we’re likely not seeing it return in any recognizable form.

User4: It’s definitely the end of an era. Toonami had a unique style and it catered to a specific audience. The changes show Turner's shift towards a broader, younger viewership now.

User5: Feels weird knowing it's actually over. Toonami was a groundbreaking block back in the day. But guess it was time for the network to move on.

User6: I was hoping they might integrate some of the Toonami spirit into CN Too, but it looks like they're taking a different path entirely. Toonami may live on in our memories!

User1: I think you're all right. It's bittersweet, but maybe this means room for new content and ideas on CN Too. Here's hoping for something just as compelling.

User3: Agreed, Toonami had its time, and hopefully, the network will find ways to sprinkle its legacy into future programming. Onward to a new chapter!

User4: Who knows, maybe one day we'll see a revival or tribute to honor Toonami. Until then, we have the memories! RIP Toonami—thanks for the adventures.
Write a thread asking what bumper is used most before Tofus

Forum Thread: Most Common Bumper Before "The Tofus"?

User1: Hey everyone, I've been watching "The Tofus" quite a bit on CN lately, and I'm curious—what bumper do you all notice plays most often before the show starts? I've seen a few different ones, but I'm wondering if there's a pattern.

User2: I've definitely noticed a trend! It seems like the "Dentist" ident comes up quite often for me. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but it feels like it's almost always that one before "The Tofus."

User3: Same here! The Dentist skit is what I see most of the time too. It’s a fun one, but I wouldn’t mind if they mixed it up a bit more.

User4: I usually catch the "Bunnies" ident just before "The Tofus." I guess it might vary depending on the time slot or something? 🤷‍♂️

User5: For me, it seems like the "Parachute" ident shows up quite a bit. Maybe they rotate between a few of them throughout the day?

User6: Interesting! From what I've seen, CN tends to pair shows with bumpers that match their theme or humor style, so maybe the slapstick of the Dentist ident fits "The Tofus"?

User7: That makes sense! I do think it would be fun if they intentionally varied the bumpers more to keep things fresh. I love seeing all the different skits.

User1: Thanks for the insights, everyone! I'll keep an eye out and see if I spot any changes. Maybe it's just randomness, but it's fun to figure out these little patterns. Keep the observations coming!

Also I noticed the next bumpers have several templates, These all have a enviroment on one side of the screen, and a clip of the show at the other, On the enviroment side the arrow is pointing down with the "Next" text on it, Channel logo below

Jungle: A green jungle with a red arrow
Theme Park: A blue theme park with a red arrow
Pink: A pink world with a blue arrow
Yellow: A weird yellow world with a red arrow
Future: A blue futuristic city with a red arrow
Forum Thread: Is Toonami.co.uk Down or Redirecting?

User1: Hey everyone, I tried visiting toonami.co.uk and noticed something odd—is it down for anyone else? Or is it redirecting somewhere?

User2: I just checked, and it seems like it’s redirecting to CN Too’s website. I guess with the recent rebranding from Toonami to CN Too, they’ve updated everything online as well.

User3: Oh, that explains it! I was wondering if they’d keep a separate site for old Toonami content, but it makes sense to consolidate under CN Too now.

User4: Yeah, I noticed the same thing. I think they want to streamline the user experience so people can find all their favorite shows in one place.

User5: I was hoping to catch some of the old Toonami vibes on its original website, but I guess it’s a smart move with the new branding focus.

User6: It’s probably also a way to make sure fans are aware of all the changes and new content coming to CN Too. Easier for updates and news too, right?

User1: Makes sense! Thanks for the clarification, everyone. I guess it’s all part of their effort to unify the branding and make everything more accessible.

User8: Absolutely, now that Toonami is officially part of the CN Too lineup, it looks like they’re making sure the online presence reflects that change too.

User3: It’s kind of sad to see the old Toonami site go, but at least CN Too is picking up where it left off with some familiar shows. Looking forward to exploring the new site!

User7: They’ve definitely put effort into making CN Too the new hotspot for the kind of content we loved on Toonami. It’ll be interesting to see how it all develops!
