I agree there is more action available than ever before and there are countless amounts of action animation free legally on the Internet. Given that, what makes Toonami airing on TV relevant among all the other online options in your opinion? Does it serve a purpose besides adding more options? Sketch

This is a Toonami question, which I try not to answer here, but it's a really good one so I'll address it: I think there are two key differences between Toonami, and what's out there via the web. One, though many streaming sites etc have millions upon millions of aggregate hits/streams, none of those are for millions of people watching AT THE SAME EXACT MOMENT. TV is still the only place where that communal experience happens. The internet has opened all of our horizons, but it's also walled us off. Plus, that many people watching something at the same time is still... a lot. Even today. Secondly, there's the concept of "discovery." When you go to a site, ANY site, you have to make a conscious decision to click on the content you are looking for. You are CHOOSING to watch the exact thing you are watching at that exact moment. With TV, we are serving up content to you in the hope that you might like it. We have no real idea, though, until we put it on. In this way, if a million people are watching, say, Naruto, there will be a large number who are seeing it for the first time on our network, who will hopefully become Naruto/action/anime fans, and come back for more the following week. Toonami's very existence bears this out. This is why the current Toonami can be a very, very hard job to do. We are serving the same new audiences we've always tried to reach, while pleasing not just one, but TWO (at least) generations of action cartoon fans at the same time. Ain't it grand?? I think so. :)
