Toonami is Back Midnight EST May 27, 2012

For those of you who missed it April 1st 2012 at midnight we got to see what Toonami would be like if it aired on Adult Swim's anime block. It was great and most chalked it up to an April Fools gag. The response was overwhelming and now Toonami will be returning May 27th 2012 starting at 12:00AM EST until 6:00AM EST. Also with the return of Toonami is Steven Jay Blum as the voice of Tom. Welcome back!

About the Lineup: The shows that will be airing aren't set in stone so as the date approaches will will try to keep you updated on what we find out about the what's airing that night. We do know Bleach will still be airing at midnight so Bleach fans don't worry. That part won't change so far.

A New Year - Announcements for Year 2012

Look for many site updates this year. I plan to be adding content to the encylcopedia and gallery and links to other anime fansites.

I also hope to bring you some great fanart and fanfic. That part depends on you. I am still in need of volunteer News Posters, Anime Encyclopedia Writers, Fan Fic for the site, and Fan Art for the site. Some of this can be done without you but some of it needs your help. If intrested in contributing in any of the above ways contact webmaster@kingdomanime.com or post here.

Thanks everyone. Welcome to 2012.
