Random Toonami Shows You Totally Forgot About (21 items)

• 

  (#9) He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

  • Christopher Judge, Cam Clarke, Kathleen Barr, Garry Chalk, Scott McNeil, Michael Donovan, Brian Drummond, Nicole Oliver, Colin Murdock, Mark Acheson, Paul Dobson, Brian Dobson, Lisa Ann Beley, Don Brown, John Payne, Gabe Khouth, Mark Gibbon, Richard Newman

  This reboot of the 1980s classic had loads of great action and way more compelling stories than the original. However, it only lasted two seasons due to the high production costs and low ratings, despite its critical acclaim.

  (#8) ReBoot

  • Michael Donovan, Kathleen Barr, Garry Chalk

  A product of Canada, ReBoot was a CGI-animated adventure which followed characters that lived within a computer mainframe to fight off viruses and other foes. While the look of the show seems primitive today, it was one of the first mass-produced computer-animated shows on television.

  At the time, it was a very impressive animated feat. 
• 

  (#17) Tenchi Universe

  • Takeshi Aono, Petrea Burchard, Debi Derryberry

  Tenchi Universe is most people's first harem anime. Loosely based on the Tenchi Muyo! OVAs, Tenchi Universe follows the space explorations of Tenchi and his alien friends. While its plot and characters are absolutely ridiculous (e.g. a bunny that turns into a spaceship), this was a fun and light-hearted series that appealed to most sci-fi fans.

  (#2) Outlaw Star

  • Ayako Kawasumi, Sherry Lynn, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, Tomoko Kawakami, Lenore Zann, Wendee Lee, Rebecca Forstadt, Rica Matsumoto, Richard Cansino, Bill Timoney, Sayuri, Shigeru Shibuya

  What do you get when you put together a team of space treasure hunters, a cat girl, a samurai woman, and a grappling spaceship? You get an awesomely fun action anime that Toonami viewers enjoyed in 2001.

  This fine space western anime is a forgotten favorite to many.
• 

  (#14) The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest

  • Frank Welker, Quinton Flynn, J.D. Roth

  This continuation of the 1960s cartoon featured a teenage Jonny and Hadji teaming with up with Race Bannon's daughter, Jessie, to go on more archeological adventures and mysteries.

  On top of that, the show also took on cyberspace by having adventures in the cybernetic "Quest World." It was a new (at the time) spin on an old classic.
• 

  (#4) ThunderCats

  • Emmanuelle Chriqui, Clancy Brown, Michael McKean, Kevin Michael Richardson, Pamela Adlon, Dee Bradley Baker, Will Friedle, Robin Atkin Downes, Corey Burton, Satomi Kōrogi, Matthew Mercer, Eamon Pirruccello, Madeleine Hall

  This 2011 reboot of the 1980s classic didn't last as long as it should have. Despite having a more engaging story, better animation, and better action than the original, Thundercats didn't get more than one season.

  Low ratings, a high production budget, and constantly changing the time slot from Toonami to Adult Swim put this kitty to sleep early.
