April Fools' Day 2012
On April 1st, 2012, just past Toonami's 15th anniversary, Adult Swim replaced itself with the third version of Toonami, featuring Tom 3.0, initially disguised as an airing of Tommy Wiseau's The Room. The channel guide did not reflect the changes, as is typical of Adult Swim's April Fools' jokes. Several classic shows were aired from the original lineup, with a special focus on climactic episodes, season finales or final episodes. The shows, order aired, and episodes: Dragon Ball Z #191, Gundam Wing #10, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki #19, Outlaw Star #25, Big O #1, Yu Yu Hakusho #110, Blue Submarine #6 #1, Trigun #23, the original Astro Boy #1, and Gigantor #1. Tom also did a brand new bumper for the new episode of Bleach, plus a next episode preview. Some of the episodes shown were never broadcast on the original Toonami.
The revival featured original bumps performed by Steven Blum as Tom, and the classic promo, Dreams. There was an original game review of Mass Effect 3, giving the game an 8.5/10 while criticizing the ending for being "weak." Also done were original advertisements for DVDs of each of the animes shown in a more adult tone, such as Tom referring to the song "99 Problems" when discussing the Tenchi Muyo! DVD, encouraging the viewer to enjoy more nudity and violence with the Outlaw Star DVD, and describing the Big O DVD release as quoted below: "Our giant robot can beat the crap out of your giant Robot."

I severely doubt it will be coming back due to it focusing on heavily climactic episodes of the series it aired, especially since they played Gohan vs Cell for the DBZ episode.

They wouldn't have very much to show, since they already played a lot of the "big" episodes and you wouldn't want to return with the "spill over" or "actionless" episodes such as Gohan's life as a teenager in the Buu Saga for DBZ.

This guy is the VA for Tom on Toonami, the 2nd report is probably the least important, but the ones from Steve Blum hold some water.

Yo, Toonami Faithful...
Thanks for tuning in. Hope it kicked in some happy memories and kicked off a happy April! As you (hopefully) know, bringing Toonami back isn't up to me. I'm just a voice guy. Many of you want to know how to make your voices heard. Maybe start here... http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/feedback/ Go to "programming" then "Toonami"
Love you guys from the bottom of my servos.

I created this account just to post this. I'm friends on facebook wth one of Toonami's creators, Jason Demarco. Here's what he had to say about the event:
"It was a one night thing. A chance for all of us to get to see Toonami on the air one more time. The intent was to have it be a happy surprise, which we hope it was. If you want to see it happen again... Let people know."

So it seems like it's a one-off deal right now, but that if fans raise enough hell they just might bring it back for good. So you guys know what to do .
