History Trivia / Toonami

* SleeperHit: Toonami is darn famous for them. As detailed elsewhere, anime series that didn't do well in their original Japanese run and that were simply picked up due to having low asking prices for TV airing ended up becoming quite popular in their Toonami incarnations. The best examples of this are ''OutlawStar'', ''TheBigO'' and, most recently, ''DeadmanWonderland''. ''Deadman'' deserves special mention, both because by the second episode its ratings rivaled those of ''{{Bleach}}'' and because the show tanked in its home country so badly that ratings data is simply ''not available'' for it.

* DoingItForTheArt: SteveBlum returned to voice TOM because he ''really'', '''''really''''' wanted to be. In fact, he led the charge for it's return when the April Fools' broadcast revitalized the fanbase.

** ElP is already an established rap act. But the views for his song "True Story" jumped after it was used in a bumper of the same name.
