well, one reason that Toonami coming back would be good (for anime fans) is that it would increase exposure for anime in western audiences once again. . . something that has continued to plummet over time even with easy and legal methods for streaming anime online. this also might encourage companies to start licensing and dubbing new shows to put on the air once again. if this 'new' Toonami was made up of blocks that showed our favorite classics that people get all nostalgic about (to draw people back in) mixed with some new stuff (to keep the programming fresh and expose people to more things that are out there other than 10+ year old classics) it could go a long way for the American anime industry
as a fan, the ability to support the products that you enjoy is important, because it gives you a voice.
Furthermore I think it's invaluable for the current generation of youngsters to get exposed to the quality programming that we were fortunate to enjoy growing up. I know it's a trope at this point to be all 'rah rah back in my day we had good television' but I cannot really see anything comparable to Toonami for the kids growing up right now.
