We are not going away, but becoming the more unified J1 Studios that we're supposed to be.

We are not going away, but becoming the more unified J1 Studios that were supposed to be. In the next coming weeks this blog will be moving over to the new home for all J1 Studios sections. There's good news and there's bad news. The bad news is that we won't have our specific section names. The good news is that what we post will stay the same quality if not better, and we will be able to post more often than specific times a week, so that way you can come back at any time and find more and more news and reviews. We will also truly be under one roof. If you are looking for a specific subject when you get there, you can use our new search bar, or our Categories section on the right. Thank you for your cooperation. Come see us at www.j1studios.com

Transformers: Rescue Bots Preview


Nearly thirty years ago, we were introduced to shape-shifting robots from a distant planet who travel to Earth. Over the years, Transformers has generated a large fan base through several TV series, a trilogy of blockbuster movies, and is Hasbro’s most successful toy line.

Transformers: Rescue Bots is the latest chapter in the Transformers’ universe. It centers on four Autobots who travel to Earth to meet Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen). Optimus assigns the Rescue Bots to assist a family of heroes in a high-tech town. Unlike previous series including Transformers Prime, which has a darker tone, Rescue Bots is geared for younger viewers. Follow the adventures of Chase, Boulder, Heat Wave and Blades as they protect our planet. Transformers: Rescue Bots airs Saturdays 9:30am EST on the Hub.

Cartoon Network wants YOU to bring back Toonami!

Toonami was Cartoon Network’s hot spot for action cartoons. It first aired on March 17, 1997 and its final broadcast was on September 20, 2008. On April Fools’ Day 2012, Cartoon Network ran Toonami starting with a new episode of Bleach followed by a trip down memory lane airing anime classics such as Dragon Ball Z, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, Outlaw Star, The Big O season 1, YuYu Hakusho, Blue Submarine No. 6, Trigun, Astro Boy, and Gigantor. Afterward, Cartoon Network posted on Twitter "Want it back? Let us know. #BringBackToonami." On April 4, Adult Swim followed up this tweet with one stating, "#BringBackToonami We've heard you. Thank you for your passion and interest - stay tuned." What this means is anyone’s guess.

However, on a side note, Cartoon Network is running its old block Cartoon Planet, which features its old original programing from 1996-2008 in celebration of its 20th anniversary. The returning lineup includes Dexter’s Laboratory, Chowder, Powerpuff Girls, and more. They officially re-aired on April 6, 2012. The shows that recently held that spot have been moved to Saturday morning.
