Toonami Month of Movies: December 2013

The Toonami Month of Movies was a month long movie marathon in which one movie was shown each week from December 7, 2013 to December 28, 2013. The final week of the marathon also featured a special Cowboy Bebop marathon. During two of the movies (Akira & Trigun), a number of animated music videos were aired as time fillers during commercial breaks, similar to a tradition the block used to have while still on Cartoon Network.

During the Month of Movies, Toonami also held a Toonami T-Shirt Giveaway. Fans could enter to win one of the three different Toonami t-shirts each of the four weeks (Week 1 & Week 4 were the same shirt design).

Programming
