Because YOU Demanded It! Naruto Shippuden on TV [Updated]
Just not on Cartoon Network.
Viz Media has announced that Naruto Shippuden has been acquired by Disney-ABC Cable Networks Group for debut on their Disney XD television channel beginning in October. The actual premiere date has not yet been announced. Daikun informs us that the premiere is set for October 28th at 8:30 PM.
Disney XD's stated target audience is boys ages 6-14, (what we always hoped a full-time Toonami channel could have been, minus the live-action content) and it is hoped that Shippuden will be successful for them.

And Now We're Done...
Elsewhere on the interwebz, "Gary Potter" noticed:
"Toonami Jetstream is now officially dead. toonamijetstream.com [fixed that for you ;)] takes you to a message saying that Naruto has been moved to CN Video and the other shows are all gone. Not only that, but every anime show besides Naruto, Pokémon, and Bakugan has been removed from the CN show pages.
Well, it was fun."
Yeah.. it was, wasn't it?

A final goodbye.
I've been away for so long that I missed the end. I feel the need to say a few things, no it's not news, it's thanks.
I realized tonight that I've been watching Toonami for nearly 10 years. 10 wonderful years. The block not only reintroduced me to shows I had long forgotten but also brought new ones to my eyes. It showed me that not all anime is garbage (though most still is :p). But most importantly it brought about TDA and it's forums and later, TDI. I remember religiously checking it wanting to keep abreast with all its denizens. From this simple block of cartoons we all were brought together and became friends.
It's these friends who've come and gone, brought drama and humor to the moments of our lives when we were all together, that I want to thank. I will not name any names, for I know I will leave somebody out who I should not but you all know who you are. I do and will treasure the time we've all invested here over the years.
Click read more for one final musing.
