For some of us that remember Toonami on the Cartoon Network, it was something that American kids could watch and get a taste of Japanese animation. Well if you don’t already know, Toonami is back on Saturday nights with a new line up and even some old. A new favorite of mine coming to Toonami in August is Sword Art Online (SAO). SAO is about players of a virtual reality MMORPG, Aincrad Online, that are trapped and fighting for their very lives. If you die in the game, you die in real life. After it is announced that the only way to leave the game is by fighting through all the dungeons and defeating all the bosses, Kirito—a very powerful swordsman—and his friends take on a quest to free all the minds trapped in Aincrad. Toonami has been getting a lot of viewers, and maybe you’ll add to the viewer count.
