Toonami Jetstream was an ad-supported online broadband streaming service launched on July 17, 2006, for the Toonami programming block. It was launched through a collaboration between Cartoon Network and VIZ Media to stream the company's more popular shows on demand, as well as bring shows from overseas to an American audience.[1] Toonami Jetstream acted as a remake of the previous Toonami video streaming service, Toonami Reactor.
The service hosted various popular anime series featured on Toonami, as well as music videos and game reviews. It also had a comment section on videos, for users to chat and discuss topics relating to the video. The service was only available in the United States. To support it, users were required to have Adobe Flash 8 player and Windows Media 10 player.[2] Jetstream did not support MacOS or Firefox users until early 2007. [3]
Toonami's television block was canceled on September 20, 2008, but the service remained active after the cancellation. On January 30, 2009, Toonami Jetstream's site was permanently shut down.[4]
