I grew up watching Toonami (and the show it was a spinoff of, Space Ghost Coast to Coast) in the Y2K era. I used to invent my own lore about the characters. I dunno if anybody else had this vision, but I used to think it was straight out of a sci-fi version of a teen movie. TOM was the 16-19 year old awkward dork who only had Sara as a friend. Since he was going thru puberty at the time, and I only knew what I knew from my friends, I made it so TOM's voice cracked, he grew hair in inappropro places, and he was a TEN-POUND WEAKLING. That's because I really wanted to be like Sara, and she never did much in the interstitials and stories. TOM would always whine and complain about things (similar to Debbie Thornberry), whereas Sara did most of the work. I also thought TOM to be much like myself. That meant he liked the Spice Girls and collected girls' toys.
Sara was similar to Ms. Cruz from Ozzy and Drix (another show I loved.) She would often dispose sage advice to TOM and help him out. Since I had her voice actress Sally Timms' albums (they were my parents'), I would always imagine her singing to her lost lover, Swayzak. She sensed goodness in his heart that he didn't like to show.
The Space Ghost characters would regularly make appearances. Space Ghost and Birdman were like Harold and Kumar. I remember after seeing the Rocko's Modern Life "Carnival Knowledge" episode for the first time, I wrote a story where Space Ghost and Birdman devised a plan to steal money from parents of little kids at a local carnival. It was inspired by Trailer Park Boys, a show my parents watched often.
And of course, I was there (aged up, of course.) I was TOM's girlfriend.
My favourite shows on Toonami were Hamtaro, The Powerpuff Girls, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, ReBoot, and Yu Yu Hakusho. What were yours?
I hope you enjoyed reading this ridiculous retrospective. Ja ne!
