RE: Neon Alley, etc. [State of Toonami 2012/Ongoing]

Overview

The video opens like a nostalgic announcement for Toonami’s State of 2012/Ongoing era, presented as if the show’s long-time “insiders” are checking in after being away. The narrator tells viewers it’s been a while since they last “had a talk,” then reflects on how the fanbase has grown with many new faces, dubbing the original supporters “OG’s” while insisting they still have “tricks up their sleeves.”

Key Highlight: Branding Plug

A standout moment is the branding plug: the speaker credits DVZ (and “who brought you Gundam”) for bringing both favorite old shows and new series—including some viewers “hadn’t even scoped yet.”

Tone and Messaging

The mood is upbeat and loyal, acknowledging past ups and downs. It thanks the audience for sticking with the brand and promises that the “mission remains the same.”

Closing Tagline

It ends with a dramatic, hype tagline—“fire till the sun rises”—framed as a push toward a world without Toonami (a triumphant “we’ll keep going” declaration). The video finishes with the slogan:

“We remain the first and still the best… only Toonami.”

Humor Style

The humor mainly comes from the casual, swaggering voice—lines like “I’ve still got it baby” and “keep a lid on it”—which treats the announcement like an energetic, in-universe pep talk.
