Toonami: Midnight Run – Saturday Night Cartoons | 1999/2000 | Full Episodes With Commercials

Published 2022-07-09
This is a compilation video I put together using footage of commercials and episodes from shows that played on Cartoon Network's Toonami: Midnight Run block (from midnight to 5 in the morning) in the years 1999 and 2000, taking most its inspiration from an early 2000 schedule. Certain shows (like Sailor Moon, The Powerpuff Girls, and Thundercats to name a few) can't be used for copyright reasons. These shows were substituted with other great cartoons and shows that played on Toonami around the same time. Think of it as a retro remix or a bootleg Saturday morning broadcast.
This is the forty-ninth television cartoon compilation video I've uploaded like this, and the fourth Toonami video. The other three Toonami videos were blocked (two worldwide, one only in the US) so I guess you should watch and enjoy this one while it's still up. This began as a strictly 1999 video, and a lot of the commercials are from 1999, but as it developed, I found myself integrating a lot of stuff from 2000 in order to fill in gaps left by copyright blocked shows, so I decided to make it more of an amalgamation of the two years (and title it as such). The original Midnight Run was five hours long, but one hour of it was showing second episodes of Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon, so this video is only four hours long ("only" four hours long). I also had to cut the end credits to Tenchi Muyo! because those are copyright blocked (but not the actual episodes). In the end, I'm pretty pleased with how this video turned out. I hope you enjoy it, too.
Disclaimer: I do not make any money or accept any donations for these videos. I make them in my free time as a hobby, out of a love for old television, and because they're the kinds of videos I would like to be able to watch on Youtube. If you see Youtube ads (not commercials) on this video, that's because this video was copyright claimed by a variety of different companies, who chose to run ads on my video for their own profit. I also do not make these videos for children, but for adults like myself who are nostalgic for their childhoods. If the comments are disabled on this video or another like it, it's because Youtube set it as "for children." And that's the end of that disclaimer.

Man, the people at Cartoon Network back in the day really put a lot of love into the Toonami/Midnight Run blocks back then. Like, as far as cartoon programming blocks were concerned, it's amazing how unique and stylish it all was. All the cool bumpers, and the intersitial life lessons from Tom. The chill lo-fi beats and odd music. Didn't even know how good we had it at the time haha.

This was when Cartoon Network was at it's very best. Back when it was literally outshining all other networks. I just remember coming home from school and heading downstairs to turn on the 4 hour Toonami block and anticipating every show that came on. Especially DBZ, that series was Toonami's crowned jewel.

Dude, I remember staying up late as a kid and watching Gundam wing, Cowboy bebop, Lupin the 3rd, Big O and many more great shows. Those shows always amazed me because we didn't have internet in our home as a kid in the 90s. I was instantly in love with anime and I still am at 34 years old.... we are getting old yall !
-
I remembered being 9, watching the Ginyu fight with my grandma and she got up and started play fighting with me. Rest In Power Julia King. Thanks for the memories.

I feel like I could fall asleep not doing my homework all over again
-
My god the nostalgia is off the charts it’s like I’m 7 years old again rushing off my school bus to get upstairs in time to catch DBZ. I missed the 90s and early 2000s truly a golden age for tv and kids growing up 😭
-
Late 80's - early 2000's was truly the golden age of gaming, cartoons, anime, life, fun, humor and everything.
-
I can’t even lie, I HIGH KEY almost cried. Everything about this was perfect. I feel like I’m back in 1999. As a 30 year old adult everything is coming back too me. I’d do anything to be taken back to this era.
-
Shout-out to the fansite Toonami Aftermath for keeping this content alive with a 24/7 stream of the old scheduled content (plus old ads & bumpers). Love to see this stuff, it really brings me back. That was such a golden age of animated TV.
-
I’m 33 now. I love all the stuff you put out but this one really hits home. Loved toonami back in the day. Thanks for the memories/nostalgia.
-
The 90s was the last real decade for kids. Seriously incredibly grateful to have been a kid then.
-
34 now and this warmed my heart. Took me back to being 12 watching this in the dark in my room. The Nintendo posters on my wall illuminated by the light of the tv .
-
“All things must pass, not even the Dragonballs last forever”! Mannnn taking me back to when I was just a boy. I’m 31 now and seeing this reminds me of how life used to be so simple.
-
I’m a 38 year old sucker for old school toonami! Ronin Warriors and DBZ were always a must watch!
-
It's been years since I've watched a commercial, but I'll watch every single one of these... Man, the memories!
-
All i know is... nobody should ever take these down or copyright. Its like a visual time capsule. And i love all of it
-
Im 29 man.. DBZ couldn’t even start without me tearing up.. it took me straight back to those after school evenings.. thank you
-
i’ve literally been saying for months someone needs to bring back old cartoon networks and shows with the commercials, the nostalgia this is as close to a time machine that we’ll get
-
It's the "lots and lots of trains" commercial for me, I literally remember The words from deep within my memory
