Availability of each series
Currently, Toonami Jetstream has four shows that originally can not be found anywhere else in their dubbed format. These shows are The Prince of Tennis, Eyeshield 21, MÄR, and MegaMan Star Force. The latter premiered on Toonami as an edited TV movie on August 25, 2007, and due to the online popularity of the The Prince of Tennis and MAR, they were added to the Toonami line-up on December 23, 2006, but Toonami Jetstream continues to show the world premiere English-language episodes, save for one MÄR episode that premiered on Toonami. However, as of June 2007, The Prince of Tennis and MÄR have been removed from the Toonami schedule and are currently on hiatus, though a DVD release for them has begun. MegaMan Star Force has not been seen on Toonami since its edited TV movie, and it is unknown if it will continue airing on television, while it is unknown if Eyeshield 21 will ever air on T.V. Premiere episodes of Naruto are currently being aired on Toonami, and previous episodes are available on DVD. The episodes on Toonami Jetstream are repeats. Dragon Ball Z, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Dragon Ball, Pokémon Chronicles, Megas XLR and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo have already been aired completely on Cartoon Network. While Samurai Jack has only aired a small portion of its episodes on Toonami, it has been completely aired on Cartoon Network and all four seasons of the show are available on DVD. All of Megas XLR has aired on Toonami, except for one episode which was skipped due to an error and later shown on Miguzi. Star Wars: Clone Wars and Dragon Ball Z have completely aired on Toonami and are also available on DVD. Dragon Ball has also finished airing on Toonami and is available on DVD and is also currently airing reruns on CoLours TV. Pokémon Chronicles has finished airing on Toonami (except for one episode which aired on the normal Cartoon Network schedule), and Toonami Jetstream merely showed reruns starting from the first episode. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo recently finished airing and 2 DVDs are available containing the first 8 episodes. Hikaru no Go is currently on ImaginAsian TV and is also available on DVD. It is unknown if it will surpass its ImaginAsian TV run or its DVD releases on Toonami Jetstream. Pokémon has aired two seasons - the "Johto League Journeys" episodes previously aired on Kids' WB! (first run), Cartoon Network (reruns), and Toonami Jetstream (Reruns) are also available on DVD, but it actually started at the Orange League episode "The Pokémon Water War". They are currently airing "Johto League Champions" episodes that aired on Kids' WB! and are on DVD, but only a select few aired on Cartoon Network. One Piece is currently airing on Toonami, with the first 58 episodes having been aired on 4Kids TV prior to their Toonami premieres. Zatch Bell! is also starting from the first episode and its premiere episodes are being shown on Toonami and are also available on DVD, but it is currently on hiatus from Toonami. It is unknown if its Toonami Jetstream run will surpass its Toonami run. IGPX has already finished airing on Cartoon Network, with most of its run being on Toonami, and is in the midst of a DVD release. There has been no word on the fate of MegaMan NT Warrior (which had aired on Kids' WB! for most of its run), but it is presumably being skipped in favor of Star Force. Rumor has it that it may show on Toonami. Zoids Genesis will be a dub premiere, if it airs.
RSS feed
Currently, Toonami Jetstream is offering two ways to check for updates. The first is a RSS feed on their website. Alternatively, a downloadable program called the Toonami Jetstream Desktop Receiver collects and displays updates automatically, allowing easy access to new additions.
Promotions with the Toonami Block
The Toonami website began advertising the service on July 3, 2006. The first television promo was during Cartoon Planet on July 9, 2006. The first Toonami promo was on July 15, 2006, during a special Naruto marathon.
Sister Sites
Currently, Toonami Jetstream only has one sister site, entitled "Cartoon Network Video". It primarily features shows like Ed, Edd, n' Eddy; The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy; My Gym Partner's A Monkey, and Codename: Kids Next Door, along with some cartoons exclusive to the website.
