How many of us grew up with the golden days of Toonami? When it was at it's peak and gave you chills when its promos came on?
~*raises a hand*~ I know I sure did.

There was so much of it I loved, but it wasn't until I ran across Tom's speeches that I went 'O_O OH MY GOSH!!!'.
I remember watching them on TV, even managing to snag them on video tape and replayed them oodles of times. (And, besides, when someone/something THAT cool gives you words of wisdom, and set to a cool, subtle beat, how can you not want to listen?)

I recently ran across those old speeches and rewatched them (thank you Youtube!) and they still give me the chills. THAT'S how you know how good Toonami's best days were.

Toonami's INDIVIDUALITY speech (This one really hit me the most, both back when I first watched it in high school, and again now.)

Toonami's COURAGE (speech) (And this one... well...heh....it stuck in my mind the most simply because of it's use of 'spades'. *^_^*)

Okay, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with Toonami, but darn if it's not cool!
(Yes I know I'm just fueling my YGO fangirl with this first one. Shut up.)
