Adult Swim is on Sunday...and Adult Swim is better than Toonami. Why, you may ask? Because of the "Adult" bit.
But, I remember way back when Toonami was on Saturday mornings. It was called "Toonami: Rising Sun" But, I never remember it being on Sundays.

No. SVES wasn't even born yet when the Rising Sun was around. You're thinking of the original Saturday Adult Swim Action block.
Also, on December 8, 2002, Toonami held a special 3-hour Transformers: Armada marathon from 1-4PM. |

I believe Toonami once had a Sunday afternoon slot but I don't remember when. It was back when Toonami had Robotech and Voltron and stuff.

I've been wondering this. Did the name "The Rising Sun" have any of a throwback reference to how Japan is called "The Land of the Rising Sun"? since it had anime and all..

I'd say so, especially with the logo used, which resembled a WW2 Japanese battle flag.
But primarily because it was a Saturday morning (e.g. "sunrise") block, and also the direct play-on-words regarding the Japanese animation.

Oh, I realize that. There's also the original play on words of Toonami/Tsunami, when Toonami originally started with a mixture of American and Japanese animation programming. "Rising Sun" just follows along in that vein.

Nope I mean it was on Sunday afternoons. I could very easily be wrong but I remember something to that affect.
