Toonami vs Jetix: Which was the better action block in the 90s and 2000s?

[Dwain345]

In March of 1997, Sean Akins and Jason DeMarco created one of the most influential blocks of all time: Toonami. Toonami was Cartoon Network’s hardcore action block back in the day and it brought many anime and hardcore action cartoons to the block like Sailor Moon, DBZ, Gundam Wing, Thundercats, and Swat Cats. Then in February of 2004, Toon Disney was trying to create their own action block to compete with Toonami. This Jetix was created and it also show anime and hardcore action cartoons like Digimon, Witch, Beyblade, and X-men (1992). Which do you think was the better action block back in the day?

Definitely Toonami. Did Jetix ever have cool bumpers/intros like Toonami? I don't believe so.

I'd almost argue "Miguzi" was a better programming block than Jetix. But Jetix did have DIgimon, so....that counts for something.

I enjoyed them both for different shows Toonami for DBZ, Hamtaro and Sailor Moon and Jetix for Digimon

I remember Jetix mostly for reruns rather than new shows. Some were great (Gargoyles) some not aging as well (90s Iron Man cartoon). I remember new entries in franchises that already seemed to be wearing out their welcome like Digimon and Power Rangers. They didn't really have a DBZ, Naruto, or Justice League type megahit. They were cool to watch, but not Toonami.
