“lol shar n liek dis pic if u wer a 90s kid and remembr dis!1!” Um… How about not?

Over the summer we had the illustrious return of Toonami to our airwaves. Now a Saturday Midnight Run, all of the anime on [adult swim] has been moved there and Steve Blum is back hosting as Tom. At the return summer we had Deadman Wonderland, which was fantastic as a fit for the block.
