Endless Wardrobe is a little feature that acts as a news update as well as smaller posts that won't fill out a whole feature.
So What's Next?
Coming soon will be a feature on the Lilo & Stitch anime requested by Nimbusoak, I remind everyone that they can request anything, anytime and I'll do my best to post it.
Soon I'll also be posting the review of the Sonic OVA film which will be my longest review to date.
There will also be a couple of surprise top tens so look out for them.
And there will also be a feature on the Aussie cartoon Shezow as well.
I Refuse to do Touhou Project
As popular as this game is and I am aware of how much people love it, I'm afraid I can't bring myself to review it on the grounds that I know nothing about it other than the fact that it's a bullet hell game and I am not qualified to review anything about it.

And Finally
My break is over so look for new posts shortly. Coming soon will be another new world, I won't tell you what it is now, you'll just have to wait until next week.
Now we reach the final entry in Cartoon Network month it's been a long month but finally we've reached the end, a post on every single day of June. (If it doesn't seem that way it's because of timezones)
So lets finish this off with part 2 o...

Two entries left and it's a no brainer, Top 10 Best Cartoon Network shows, done in two parts due to length as there is much to say. Lets get to it then.

With Toonami back in action, lots of requests come up for what should be on the block so here are ten shows that should be must haves for the block.
10. Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes
Marvel is wasted in the hands of Disney and with the insane popularity of the Avengers it would be an easy choice to make.
9. Batman the Animated Series
Kinda ironic that DC, market most of their shows to Cartoon Network but has never broadcast it's best cartoon, and seeing as the original X-Men still gets reruns 20 Years from it's original run I think it's about time the best Batman cartoon came back as well.
8. Black Cat
A Shonen Jump series with enough slapstick to not be too serious and enough action to please the programming block.
7. Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple
Kid being bullied for being weak suddenly becomes a martial arts genius through the training of several different masters, hilarity ensues. Come on, it's got Toonami written all over it.
6. Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld
I've mentioned before how much I want this series to be a reality and with the likes of Sailor Moon & Cardcaptors having graced the action slot, it's about time the westerners show what it's really capable of.
5. Sengoku Basara
Over the top action with impossible moves and memorable characters, and hearing "YOUR LORDSHIP!" shouted on Toonami is too good to pass up.
4. Gurren Lagann
Speaking of awesome isn't it about time Gurren Lagann made an appearance on the Network? Might make up for the lack of mecha at the moment and runs nicely along side Sym Bionic Titan.
3. Scott Pilgrim
It does count as it was briefly animated but should they try a full series it would be an easy choice for Toonami and isn't reliant on a translation first.
2. Tiger & Bunny
Superheroes are a staple of a good Toonami block and Tiger & Bunny can fill up both that and anime. And with that animation style as well, it certainly makes Toonami look more professional.
1. Fairy Tail
But to be a household name you need a powerhouse series, not one that's been done before (Naruto), not one who's seen itself lose it's fans due to decay (Bleach), not a series with such a difficult dubbing history (One Piece) nor a series that's out of date (Dragonballz) or needs remaking (Dragonball Kai).
What we need is a fresh series that is as good as all the Shonen Jump classics but doesn't push things too far in terms of being overly violent or bad language. Get it now Toonami, you don't even need to edit it.
Were nearing the end of Cartoon Network month with this entry, a Toonami entry tomorrow and a two part top ten epic for the weekend.
Today we look at things Cartoon Network need to improve on.
10. Drop Ben 10
It's served it's time and there is only so many alien designs you can make before you lose focus, 2nd & 3rd seasons were fairly forgettable in the grand scheme of things and season 4 felt like a step backwards in evolution, so it's time to put this series to bed.
9. Expand Toonami
Back in the UK, Toonami briefly ran as an extra channel and although there's been several clones of it there has been nothing since and I don't think being on Adult Swim at stupid O'Clock is really going to help it. Speaking of Adult Swim.
8. Drop Adult Swim
From everything I've researched on Adult Swim it's possibly the worst run channel I've ever seen and I also blame it for ruining Cartoon Network in the first place with it's stupid advertisement campaigns. I certainly won't miss it.
7. Finish Unfinished Shows
A number of action shows were unfairly cut before reaching a reasonable climax with Samurai Jack, the above picture from Sym Bionic Titan & Megas XLR to name but a few, would be nice to have some closure over them so we can stop asking about it.
6. Restore Classic Shows Under New Channel
While I'm aware that Boomerang already does this we need another separate channel for Cartoon Network's old works, more so than what they currently do with Cartoon Planet; if were keeping the trend of naming channels after native weapons then lets call this channel Yo-Yo.
5. Don't Follow Trends
When it's tried to follow trends Cartoon Network fails 95% of the time, it doesn't need to follow trends set by it's rivals, we don't need a Spongebob Clone, we don't need a Phineas & Ferb Clone and we certainly don't need the next entry.
4. Drop Live Action Shows
I can't forgive them for 2009, the channel is called Cartoon Network, not live action Network, there are still some of these shows hanging about so maybe it's about time to end them and continue what you do best.
3. Avoid CGI if Possible
I've heard rumors that the Powerpuff Girls reboot special will be a CGI piece. CGI suits animation companies who are good at it, namely Pixar & Dreamworks, not shows like Star Wars, Transformers or the absolutely terrible Gormiti: Nature Unleashed which is the worst CGI cartoon ever created.
2. Stop Relying so Heavily on 2nd & 3rd Party Series
I've noticed the huge influence DC Comics & Warner Bros has on Cartoon Network and is literally saturating the channel with it's shows not to mention the amount of cartoons were getting from Canada with very little offering from the Network itself. Batman can't solve all your problems.
1. Drop Johnny Test
I don't think I'm alone in this statement, Johnny Test is another representation of how far the Network has fallen in the last few years and still continues to broadcast despite the fact that the series has become as universally hated as the thought of another season of the Simpsons.
Johnny Test wasn't a bad series but I felt it was ten years too late; back then a show like this would be well appreciated for creative and funny episodes but in modern day it's dated, been done before, ripping off better shows and doesn't deserve to keep going alongside Adventure Time, Regular Show & Amazing World of Gumball.
