    I'm not familliar with Mar. I know of Prince of Tennis, but I've never seen it.

    IMHO, the real Toonami died when CN canceled Megas XLR and Justice League came to an end. I don't consider the current thing airing on Saturday nights on Crap Network to be the true Toonami.

    The Japanese version is actually quite good. Anyway, it's not much more crazy than an anime on the Japanese game "Go" (Hikaru no Go) or a complicated card game (Yugioh).

    Haven't seen Prince of Tennis, though have seen a lot of MAR.  Average shounen action series IMO.  It's hard to believe that the same person who did Flame of Recca did this.

    I'd say you summed that up perfectly.....

    A few OK shows here and there (Naruto dub is sub par), but really that's it. I would love to see more of Megas XLR....

    Heard of both of those shows, but only because of toonami jetstream, but neither of them really caught my interest.....

    I sort of expected Toonami to go down this road when they purchased Naruto... now it's really ther only tangible bit of programming that the I'm assuming at least 85% of the Toonami faihtful actually watch.

    To be honest Blackstar when Justice League Unlimited and Teen Titans ended, that sort of did it for me. Those were two shows that I usually went out of my way to watch.

    Prince of Tennis I've heard of, partly because of how old the anime is and partly because it's one of the purely sports animes out there (Slam Dunk being the other that I can think of at the moment).

    Mar I haven't seen, but let's be honest all the anime you want to watch now (or if you're like me, wanted to watch when it first came out and only watch Eureka Seven now) that being Bleach, Trinity Blood and Eureka Seven.

    Maybe it's because each year I keep falling away from Toonami's younger programming, but I think Adult Swim on Saturdays (if it wasn't already) is beating the Toonami lineup.

    yEAH MIGUZI sucks ever since then toonami became childish and then cancelled good anime like Yu Yu Hakasho,Rave Master,Gudam SEED,Immortal grand prix, and came up with crappy ones such as Duel msaters,Zatch Bell,One Peice,BoBoBoBoBoBoBo,DICE,the batman,pokemon battle frontier who else hates miguzi.

    They're okay shows. Prince of Tennis gets kinda boring at some points, because it's all about tennis, but MAR seems like a funny show, just a little childish at times. I'm gonna try them out, see if I will continue to like them later on.

    I think BoBoBoBoBoBoBo and One Peace are off of Toonami.

    They stuck a fork in Toonami when they took off Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, and Kenshin.And they made it worst when they made Miguzi, and greenlit  crap like Gym Partner, MLO[Mike,Lou, and Og], and KND.

    On a side note, Nickelodeon needs to stop Mr.Meaty, and upcoming El Tigre. Or I will one day go to Viacom, turn Nickelodeon into a anime channel I call either ANick-me-lodeon or merge it with Cartoon Network to become NCN, have it's films released mostly by Paramount Pictures and make some deals with Funimation and ADV Films.

    But Prince of Tennis and MAR are great.

    Gym Partner is DLP meaning Dazzling Like Poop or Dumb Like P---.

    PLEASE REPLY.

    As a person who despises tennis, I was shocked that I actually liked PoT. Its just something different, I guess. Mar I don't really care for. I am more interested to see if they wil replace these shows on Jetstream though, and with what.

    I saw an ep. of Mar last Saturday night (I can't believe it, but for the first time in about a year, I thought that I'd go check out what's on Toonami). Anyways, I didn't watch PoT on Toonami, but I've seen the first ep. subbed, and I thought that it was pretty boring. I saw the second half of the ep. of Mar that was airing on that Saturday, by the looks of it, it was the 1st ep., however, I'm not entirely sure. But, I from what I've seen, it seems to me to be like a very mediocre shounen anime, and feels quite a bit childish. Anyways, I've been pissed at Toonami for awhile . I mean, what the hell happenned!? I used to love Toonami. However, I pretty much completely cut off from Toonami, as soon as they made the extremely horrible mistake, of replacing a great show like YYH, with a crappy one like Zatch Bell, that just went too far for me, that I completely lot interest in anything that Toonami had to offer from then on. Anwyays, I highly doubt that Toonami will go old school, and return to its original, classical, self, in which I, as well as many other people, use to enjoy. So as for now, it would seem that these 2 new shows that they've added, won't do them any good at all. Unfortunately, it would seem that they've decided to target a much younger audience, since CN is pretty much intended to be a kiddy channel (that's why they gave us older viewers Adult Swim, for me its the old and good Toonami's replacement ).
