A Moment for Change
prevnextOnly racists are mad at what Toonami said last night. Toonami is how a lot of kids got into watching anime when they first started and maybe some are still discovering it now and I’ll be forever grateful they didn’t have to say anything but I’m glad they did \(^o^)/

Never Powerless
prevHearing Tom say this. Them using clips to emphasize the point. Them showing the audience that it matters AND that they aren’t powerless in this — they can fight for what’s right.
This is how a brand takes a stand. Thank you #Toonami https://t.co/PpUGE4htbM
