Toonami is a 24-hour channel in India and a former block on India's first kids channel, Cartoon Network.
Toonami was launched as a block on Cartoon Network, India's oldest kids channel in 2001. It was a hugely successful block, and the first one to exclusively dedicate on action-adventure.
Turner International India launched Toonami on 26 February 2015. On July 1, 2017, Toonami India was re-purposed as a classic animation channel, all action-animation programming was removed except for a few shows. Toonami now airs shows from the Cartoon Network Studios, Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. Animation libraries.
Starting from June 1, Toonami introduced a new block called Superhero Universe, a weekday primetime block dedicated to all mighty superheroes. This three hour-long block features DC and Marvel shows such as Wolverine and the X-Men, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes II, Teen Titans, Superman: The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited, Beware the Batman, and more on weekdays at 5:45pm to 8:45pm. The block is now discontinued.
In April 2015, an action anime block, titled Anime Siege, was announced to be coming to the network. Featured shows include: Dragon Ball Z Kai, Beast Saga, BeyWarriors Beyraiderz, and Inazuma Eleven Go Galaxy. Dragon Ball Super joined Anime Siege on 21st January 2017. The block is now discontinued.
