Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Fullmetal Alchemist
to Join the Late-Night Block of Animation in November
Cartoon Network has acquired two new animé properties that will begin airing Saturday, Nov. 6, during Adult Swim, its late-night block of animation aimed at adults 18-34. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex will air Saturdays at 11 p.m. (ET, PT), and Fullmetal Alchemist will air Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. (ET, PT).
Set in the not-too-distant future when technology plays a key role in everyday human life, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex follows the adventures ofthe most popular female cyborg, Maj. Motoko Kusanagi, and her fellow police officers of Section 9. Along with the ever-ready Tachikomas, the officers must continue their mission to hunt down criminals in both the real and online world. In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, the officers of Section 9 are called in to resolve a murder before it turns into an international incident, hunt down a runaway state-of-the-art killing machine and solve the mystery of a defective android.
Fullmetal Alchemist tells the story of 15-year-old Edward Elric, a prodigy known as the Fullmetal Alchemist, who has special abilities to manipulate objects and transform them into other things. Because of an experiment gone awry, Edward and his brother, Alphonse, paid a heavy price for messing with the natural laws of science. Edward lost his leg, and Alphonse lost his entire body. But Edward is able to enclose Alphonse’s soul inside a suit of armor but at the cost of his right arm. Equipped with a replacement mechanical arm and leg, and a near mastery of alchemy, the brothers set forth on an adventurous quest to find the fabled Philosopher’s Stone to restore their bodies to their natural state.
Adult Swim is Cartoon Network’s highly rated block of animation for adults. Airing Sunday-Thursday from 11 p.m.-2 a.m. (ET, PT), with a replay from 2-5 a.m. (ET, PT).
