* Why are western shows based on DC Comics properties (''YoungJustice'', ''GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'', ''BewareTheBatman'', etc.) not considered eligible choices for Toonami? The closest thing I've heard to an answer is that DC Comics doesn't want to be associated with an adult TV network, but I seriously doubt that for two reasons…

** Cowboy Bebop is for nostalgia reasons, while I, the guy who wrote the Inuyasha tear jerker part, bases it on how it is the first new show (For AS Toonami) that did not complete its run, aka leaving episodes unaired.

* This has more to do with the Tear Jerker section of this article, but it's still a legit question. Why is it that ''Cowboy Bebop'' and ''[=InuYasha=]'' leaving the lineup are considered Tear Jerkers, yet any other show such as ''Eureka Seven'', ''Samurai 7'', or ''Sword Art Online'' leaving isn't? I don't care if ''Bebop'' and ''[=InuYasha=]'' were shows that aired on [adult swim] before Toonami came back (''Eureka Seven'' also falls under that category, by the way). A show has to leave the lineup eventually. If ''Cowboy Bebop'' and ''[=InuYasha=]'' leaving are Tear Jerkers, then by logic, ''every time'' a show leaves should be considered a Tear Jerker.

**** One instance of getting over 700,000 viewers doesn't justify moving a show that hasn't aired on Toonami before down to 5:00 AM during its first run (I could understand moving it down to 5:00 AM if the show has already finished a run and Toonami wants to give it a second run, much like how ''IGPX'' was moved down to 4:30 AM for a second run after it finished its first run at 2:30 AM).

*** Ratings (or how many people watch a show) are irrelevant to this issue. ''Shippuden'' already has that covered. And even if ''Naruto'' draws in big ratings, like I said, Toonami could at least air the show somewhere at either 4:00 AM or 5:00 AM, where it doesn't get in the way of the other shows and might also boost the ratings in that area significantly (that was their intent with moving ''The Clone Wars'' from 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM, but that isn't exactly working very well).

* Why the hell is ''Naruto'' airing at 2:30 AM? By this point in time, the show should be long gone, completely off the lineup (hell, the crew even said it themselves that the original ''Naruto'' would be removed from the lineup in favor of ''Shippuden''). However, it's still hanging around, and by doing so has screwed over three shows (''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'', ''[=InuYasha=]'', and ''Samurai Jack''). Even if it's somehow connected to the deal of ''Shippuden'' being able to air (how that's the case was never explained, and I doubt there even ''is'' a good explanation for it), at the very least, the show could air somewhere in the 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM range, completely out of the way without bothering the shows it has screwed over.

***** Just checked [[http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/schedule/index.html?atclk_vn=vn_link_tvschedule the regular Cartoon Network schedule]]. Other than ''Teen Titans Go!'', none of the DC Nation shows or ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' appeared on that schedule. I even checked [[http://www.locatetv.com/listings/boomerang#10-Feb-2014 the schedule for Boomerang]], just in case, and the only show rerunning there is the original ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Fine, but that doesn't discount the other shows.

## The crew aren't fans of the Pokemon games (they've stated that they only review games that they like).
