Miguzi

Miguzi is a former weekday afternoon block that premiered on Cartoon Network on April 19, 2004 to May 25, 2007.

Why It Rocked

 * 1) The idea of putting this block for the weekday afternoon was a good idea, because they replaced the Toonami block and moved it to Saturday evening. It was later aired on Sundays as well.
 * 2) Great shows that first aired were Totally Spies, Code Lyoko, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), and Teen Titans and later shows like Static Shock, Winx Club, Codename: Kids Next Door, Ben 10, Krypto the Superdog, Xiaolin Showdown, and ¡Mucha Lucha! It even got some shows that aired on Toonami, such as Naruto, One Piece, Zatch Bell!, Megas XLR, Pokémon: Battle Frontier and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
 * 3) The animation which was made in CGI was beautiful and realistic. Even the intro looks decent.
 * 4) The characters Erin and some aquatic creatures (including Big Stalks, Flip, Curly, Tre, Remo, Bass, Monitor, Tweet, and Yoke) are quite likable. Speaking of which, Jessica DiCicco does a good job voicing Erin.
 * 5) The commercials, promos, and bumpers were fun to watch during the CN City era.
 * 6) Even though it stopped airing in 2007, Erin made a cameo appearance as stone in the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode, Crossover Nexus.
 * 7) The intro itself was also very catchy to listen.
 * 8) Most of the fans do remember this block for the nostalgia.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Depending on your view, most fans were upset that Miguzi replaced Toonami for the weekday afternoon.
 * 2) When the block was given a complete rebrand, Erin was removed from the block for no reason, with the 3D environments being removed, and replaced with simplistic 2D backgrounds. However, the aliens were still there, but a few new aliens were also added.

Trivia

 * This lighter-toned action block was created by Williams Street, who also created programming blocks Toonami, Adult Swim and Saturday Video Entertainment System.
 * The block was ended in May 2007, roughly a year before the cancellation of Toonami on September 20, 2008. It was replaced by Master Control, an interactive block on September 24, 2007.
