seeing the first episode of sealab was a true laugh. seeing how the cast has evolved from the beginning to the most recent of episodes.. so incredible a transformation. still funny most of the time, this series is.

and was it me.. or did i hear plankton's voice in the futurama episode from one of the robots.

Chickmate, best episode ever... :D

the robot santos is cool. but undead skeleton stormy was cooler..

I've never seen this Sealab, not once, when did it premiere?

I might be mistaken though, but I swore the beginning was unfamiilar.

NikJam, you aren't allowed to post here silly.

A new Lupin card consisting only of footage from that bathhouse ep.

This is how they should've plugged it from day one.

Yeah but the bodies on those women are unliterally old...

Anime Freak

Hmm, maybe we're getting such good lupin promos now because its getting better ratings possibly??? I hope so, cuz then that means more Lupin eps! :D

Don't get your hopes up chum.

Am I the only one who doesn't see the point of advertising Lupin when they aren't getting new episodes? I mean, isn't it kind of a waste of money? Of course, they advertise Futurama a lot and they're never getting new episodes of that so...whatever...

Youko Recca

07-25-2004, 02:44 AM

Yeah that's smart, as a block let's not advertise something we would still want people watching. If it wasn't being advertised then people would ***** about it anyway.

Wounded_Dragon

07-25-2004, 03:34 AM

That never stopped them before. ;)

I am intrigued on why they seem to be putting a little more effort into Lupin than the rest. Maybe they're trying to keep people watching the whole block, since Lupin is on at the end, in an effort to curtail the drop offs that seem to occur after the new episodes? Not that they care after the first hour anyway.

Youko Recca

07-25-2004, 03:55 AM

Which "them" are you refering to?

kaine23

07-25-2004, 11:35 AM

Cool Lulin promo. This and the one consisting of OP footage is how they should have advertised Lupin from the start.

Beat

07-25-2004, 12:19 PM

I really hope these Lupin promos transfer into better ratings, and (we can only hope) more episodes.

I like that promo for the Stroker & Hoop pilot first time I've seen it..

It looks interesting, I'm gonna tune in next sunday for that.

Master Moron

07-26-2004, 12:05 AM

So, did the Seth Mcfarlane thing start tonight, or does it start tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

Duke

07-26-2004, 12:16 AM

Maybe the reason is that Lupin is an in-house favorite, and this may be the last time we get to see the super-theif, so they decided to make up some new promos?

Perhaps they know something we don't about the live-action Lupin III movie?

Maybe they will air the FUNi movies + Mystery of Mamo suddenly, even though they haven't announced the acquisition?

Family Guy - 509,000
ATHF - 484,000
Birdman 416,000

a little down but still real good as usual

Futurama - 554,00
Sealab - 487,000
Inuyasha - 404,000

wow what happened last Saturday?? :confused:

fixed!

KuwabaraTheMan

404,000 for Inuyasha, I think the plan is working.

Nin-Nin69

Inuyasha is higher than usual, but Futurama is dominating as usual. :sweat:

Oh, what I wouldn't give to know how WR's doing in comparison to IY after numbers like these.

PaQ

07-26-2004, 01:04 AM

Solid numbers for both days. Glad to see Birdman with over 400 and in the top 3, with a new episode.

Saturdays looked good as well. Inuyasha in the 400's and the Comedy infusion is getting ratings so far. It'll be interesting to see how the ratings do whenever Venture bros becomes a factor.

Either people have finally found out about ASC on Saturdays or people heard that last Saturday's Inu-Yasha was going to be a funny one.

Youko Recca

What was...that?

Pepperidge

07-26-2004, 02:16 AM

If one assessment can be made from the Saturday ratings so far, its that they're erratic and totally unpredictable.

That alone could be what "saves" action on Saturday nights.

RedBoot

07-26-2004, 02:30 AM

With any luck, the Saturday ratings will maintain that boost until Venture Bros premires, and hopefully it'll catch on. Having an original 30 minute show become a hit would be a huge boost for AS.

Plus VB looks great. It's got pole-vaulting into a guy's esophagus, what more do you need?

Duke

07-26-2004, 02:59 AM

I find it funny that the two shows that bookend Sealab, Harvey Birdman & Aqua Teens, both did better than it. :P

Pimmelmann

07-26-2004, 04:30 AM

Am I the only one who doesn't see the point of advertising Lupin when they aren't getting new episodes? I mean, isn't it kind of a waste of money? Hearing the theme song is its own reward.

Also ratings.

Birdman 416,000

Futurama - 554,00
Sealab - 487,000
Inuyasha - 404,000

Proof that people like the old Sealab (Saturday) more than the new Sealab (Sunday). :D

Or how about that people like Futurama more than Family Guy? (Even though that doesn't translate in DVD sales.)
ATHF and Saturday Sealab is a wash. :shrug:

Glad to see Inuyasha still holding its place as best of the Saturday anime, but I wonder how close to Inu the WR episode got.

Whatever, I think the upcoming ratings for this past Saturday (7/24) will be really crappy. That's based on the awful performance posted by the AS.com Hockey Chicken stunt, which only got about 60,000 visits on Sat., half the volume of the day before. That's an indicator that a lot of the young adult market wasn't home on the 24th. (^_*)

the Amanda

07-26-2004, 01:19 PM

Wow, good Saturday ratings. I don't watch anime on Saturdays (just CC and occasionally Lupin) but hopefully the comedy will continue to bolster its ratings (if that's what's happening)

Brent Long

07-26-2004, 02:18 PM

They snipped two seconds out of the Family Guy re-airing at 2:00 AM (1:00 AM for us central people). When Jasper was supposed to say "Someone send me out to sea!" in the re-airing it's cut so he only says "someone send me out.." and quickly cuts to a card.

Just a quick Lupin question: CN has the first 26 (minus that Nazi episode) of the series. So is episode 27 on the 5th or 6th DVD? The running times suggest DVD 6 though the disc descriptions don't make it very clear. Anyone know for sure?
All the episodes aired on CN are on the first 5 DVDs. In addition, the banned Nazi episode is also on the 5th DVD. The 6th and 7th DVDs contain unaired episodes.

kaine23

07-27-2004, 07:46 AM

What are the Lupin dvd titles anyhow for those ones? I just have "Love Heist" cause it has Zentigatacon and The Sleight Before Christmas, 2 my fav episodes.

RedBoot

07-27-2004, 09:13 AM

The 6th and 7th DVDs with new episodes are called Lupin the Target and Royal Scramble. The fifth DVD with To Be or Nazi Be on it is called Mission: Irresistible.

I like the slogan (why would you watch anything else?) and the fact that that [as] is showing Lupin ads, but Lupin in Paradise is my least favorite ep of the seires thus far, and I think that they could have shown clips from other episodes. Just my opinion.

Anime Guy

07-28-2004, 03:43 PM

I hadn't noticed Moonlight Sonata playing in the background of "The Case of the Risible Dirigible" until last night. Such a beautiful song.

Just my opinion.Adult Swim is using the "sex sells" philosophy to attract viewers for Lupin. It could work.

07-28-2004, 04:05 PM

One can only wonder why that haven't tried that technique with other anime.

NewLib

07-28-2004, 04:21 PM

What animes could they use it with? They sort of have with InuYashu. WHR and WR don't have any overally attractive females to use this strategy with.

And those females don't usually wear bikinis or tight leather (sans coat anyway). The closest we get is Robin in her cycling outfit.

Just caught the Lupin promo last night. I don't know about you, but there's just something so hysterical about Lupin just STANDING THERE, gawking like a slack-jawed moron as the SAME EXACT animation of the mysterious women firing off rounds and rounds worth of bullets and gas canisters is played OVER and OVER again. It's just....funny....

God, I'm pathetic...

the Amanda

07-28-2004, 10:09 PM

Between the Lupin promo with the girls, and the Stroker & Hoop promo with the almost-topless woman firing off a gun, I think we're learning a bit too much about a fetish of someone in the promo department ;)

Tapout

07-29-2004, 12:07 AM

Does anyone else think the woman from the Stroker & Hoop promo looks like Jay Sherman's mother?

What are those ornaments called that are on her ****?

Mr. Pedro

07-29-2004, 12:25 AM

What are those ornaments called that are on her ****? I think they commonly refer to them as "pasties". That pair is obviously of the twirling variety.

07-29-2004, 12:34 AM

I believe that "teets" is the proper term.

Master Moron

07-29-2004, 02:01 AM

I think they're called tassles.

Wow, that's bad Japanese voice acting for you(then again it was the 70's) Seriously, Fujiko sounds like a teenager, and Jigen's voice doesn't sound much better.
