Availability of each series

Currently, Toonami Jetstream has five shows that originally can not be found anywhere else in their dubbed format. These shows are "The Prince of Tennis", "Eyeshield 21", "MÄR", "MegaMan Star Force", and "Kiba". The fourth premiered on Toonami as an edited TV movie on August 25, 2007, and due to the online popularity of the The Prince of Tennis and MAR, they were added to the Toonami line-up on December 23, 2006, but Toonami Jetstream continues to show the world premiere English-language episodes, save for one "MÄR" episode that premiered on Toonami. However, as of June 2007, "The Prince of Tennis" and "MÄR" have been removed from the Toonami schedule, though a DVD release for them has begun. "MegaMan Star Force" has not been seen on Toonami since its edited TV movie.

Premiere episodes of "Naruto" are currently being aired on TV, and previous episodes are available on DVD. The episodes on Toonami Jetstream are repeats.

"Dragon Ball Z", "Samurai Jack", "", "Dragon Ball", "Pokémon Chronicles", "Megas XLR" and "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" have already been aired completely on Cartoon Network. While "Samurai Jack" has only aired a small portion of its episodes on Toonami, it has been completely aired on Cartoon Network and all four seasons of the show are available on DVD. All of "Megas XLR" has aired on Toonami, except for one episode which was skipped due to an error and later shown on Miguzi. "Star Wars: Clone Wars" and "Dragon Ball Z" have completely aired on Toonami and are also available on DVD. "Dragon Ball" has also finished airing on Toonami and is available on DVD and is also currently airing reruns on CoLours TV. "Pokémon Chronicles" has finished airing on Toonami (except for one episode which aired on the normal Cartoon Network schedule), and Toonami Jetstream merely showed reruns starting from the first episode. "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" finished airing and 2 DVDs are available containing the first 8 episodes.

"Hikaru no Go" is currently on ImaginAsian TV and is also available on DVD. It is unknown if it will surpass its ImaginAsian TV run or its DVD releases on Toonami Jetstream.

"Pokémon" has aired four seasons - the "Johto League Journeys" episodes previously aired on Kids' WB! (first run), Cartoon Network (reruns), and Toonami Jetstream (Reruns) are also available on DVD, but it actually started at the Orange League episode "The Pokémon Water War". They are currently airing "Johto League Champions" episodes that aired on Kids' WB! and are on DVD, but only a select few aired on Cartoon Network. They are also airing "Master Quest" episodes that aired on Kids' WB! (first run), on Cartoon Network's now-defunct Miguzi block (reruns), and are on DVD. "Original Series" episodes aired previously on Kids' WB! (first run, though some aired in syndication first), Cartoon Network (reruns), and currently on Jetstream (also reruns).

"One Piece" is airing reruns from Toonami, with the first 58 episodes having been aired on 4Kids TV prior to their Toonami premieres.

"Zatch Bell!" originally aired on Toonami for 77 episodes, and is in the midst of a DVD release, however, it seemingly vanished from television after episode 77. Later, the show was added to Toonami Jetstream, and more recently, premiere English language episodes are being shown.

"IGPX" has already finished airing on Cartoon Network, with most of its run being on Toonami, and is in the midst of a DVD release.

There has been no word on the fate of "MegaMan NT Warrior" (which had aired on Kids' WB! for most of its run), but it is presumably being skipped in favor of "Star Force".

"Zoids Genesis" will be a dub premiere, if it airs.

"" is currently airing episodes on TV, though not on Toonami, leaving Toonami Jetstream to air reruns

"Blue Dragon" aired Saturday mornings on Cartoon Network's regular schedule for the first 14 episodes. Toonami Jetstream used to air reruns, but now it airs the world premiere English language episodes as of July 21, 2007.

One of the movies to air on Jetstream is "".

As of June 30, 2008, "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" "Dragon Ball", "Dragon Ball Z", and "One Piece" are seemingly no longer available on the site despite not being finished. This may be linked to the fact that Cartoon Network is slowly trying to remove all anime from their programming blocks outside of adult swim. It is unknown if or when they will return.
