* LighterAndSofter: While it isn't currently known if any of the shows are subjected to {{Bowdlerization}}, Glenn Bartlett, the man who runs the channel, has stated that Toonami Asia is aimed towards kids, unlike the more mature Toonami block currently airing on AdultSwim in the states.

* {{Irony}}
** The Toonami Asia channel is available in several different asian countries such as Singapore and Indonesia... but ''not'' in Japan.
** A few of the shows airing on Toonami Asia are very highly requested for the [adult swim] Toonami over in America (the most prominent one being ''Dragon Ball Z'').

* WordOfGod: Glen Bartlett has said that Toonami Asia's storyline of NAMI and the end of the Age of Superheroes takes place in the same universe as the US Toonami with TOM and SARA. That being said, Glen Bartlett isn't part of the Toonami staff in the US, meaning that it's up to Jason DeMarco and the rest of the crew to decide whether or not that statement is true.

The channel is run by an unseen host, Nami ([[IThoughtYouMeant not to be confused with]] [[OnePiece another, more well-known Nami]]), an artificial lifeform from the future. There was a contest held that allowed fans to submit ideas for Nami's backstory, with the winner having his concept produced into an animated clip and a comic book.

Starting in December 1, 2012 and airing 24/7, the Toonami channel (often referred to as Toonami Asia to distinguish it from the other Toonami over in the west) is, much like its western counterpart, dedicated to airing action-animation, both japanese and western. This isn't the first time that a Toonami channel was attempted. The UK tried their hand at a Toonami channel, though that didn't turn out so hot in the end. Hopefully, this new Toonami channel in Asia will do better.
