Colorful... denied by Adult Swim?

[Chad Bonin]

Listening to the commentaries on the Steel Angel Kurumi Complete Collection...

"Colorful's our nasty one. I don't think that's out yet, maybe by the time this commentary's out it'll be out... if a certain network doesn't buy it..."

Can we add Colorful to the list of shows pitched to Adult Swim and denied?

[Beat]

I'd love to be at the meeting of Williams Street about that.

WS 1- OK, so it's either the show about panties or the show about the unfunny baby.

WS 2- Panties? Nah, that's too lowbrow. Better go with the baby.

WS 1- But the only people that enjoyed it were that dude from marketing and Pierre Bernard.

WS 2- So?

:p

G4TechTV mentioned ADV sent them shows too. Who knows who it could be.

Geez. Hold grudges much?

[Conan-san]

Pft, we have enough of the bottom of ADV's barrel already with Super Malk Chan...

[Beat]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

Giant Japanese schoolgirl > Annoying foul-mouthed baby

[IanC]

While Colo(u)rful is good fun, i can see why CN would er on the side of caution over it.

Baby? Are you talking about Milk chan? I wasn't even aware she was supposed to be a baby. Oh, and Pierre Bernard likes Milk Chan?

[Nobuyuki sama]

Facts are irrelevant when Beatdigga's on a rant. :p

[Beat]

Well, Bernard hasn't ranted about it yet. Therefore, he must not hate it as much as he did Case Closed.

[livingfruitvirus]

Was that before or after Comcast bought the channel, fired nearly everyone there and moved the studios? :sweat:They still buy anime regardless.

[Youko Recca]

I'd be more worried if Getbackers or Madlax got turned away. And find humor in Gantz's dismissal, wondering why that was even brought up.

[True Noir]

Plot Summary: The adventures (and mis-adventures) of Men, staring, peeking, glacing, looking, glaring at women and their efforts to get that extra eyefull of harmlessly exposed panties, bra, and occasional cleavage. Following at most, a few regular males and the outragious concequences of their actions.
:sweat: Well, isn't that...interesting? I'm sure that this would work out just fine on AS. [/sarcasm]

[Karl Olson]

I'd be more worried if Getbackers or Madlax got turned away. And find humor in Gantz's dismissal, wondering why that was even brought up.

Let's see, Madlax is like Noir, Noir was turned down. I can think you can fill in the rest of the blanks here. Getbackers is probably already been pitched and passed on. Gantz is obviously out because, hey, I don't think CN looks too kindly upon a naked women recieving fallatio against her will from a canine. For that matter, I don't look kindly upon that either.

Meanwhile, if CN passed on Colorful, more power to them. No way it would have flown without a moronic level of editorial anyway.

[Youko Recca]

Seeing how I didn't REALLY give a damn about Colorful's well-being, I wasn't trying to insinuate anything seriously. But besides Gantz's obvious case, those sound sadly about right. Getbackers is Toonami's if anything, anyway.

In this case, they mine as well should have just turned down Wolf's Rain because I'm pretty sure that Madlax or Noir would have done just as well as it.

[Lord Dalek]

Getbackers is Toonami's if anything, anyway.I'm sorry, but after the "rapeing" of Gundam Seed, do you really want that to happen?

[livingfruitvirus]

hay guys how about AS puts on Maniax? :):)

[Youko Recca]

I'm sorry, but after the "rapeing" of Gundam Seed, do you really want that to happen?I wasn't aware Gundam Seed took it up the ass that badly.


Atleast the edits, however stupid, were consistent. Only one that distracted was that ridiculous gun crap that was pulled. Getbackers is severely toned down from the manga. I can't recall anyone important bleeding, not even Akabane. And he had blood surrounding him alot in the manga. Hevn and her ludicrously sized **** would be the only real problem I can think of.

[Samurai]

I know I'd watch Colorful over other Adult Swim comedy shows like ATHF or Milk-Chan. You know, now that I think about it, AS doesn't really have a lot of good shows of their own. I mean, their best hits are from other networks (FG, Futurama) or the rejects from other networks (Mission Hill, Oblongs, Baby Blues). The only original AS show I kinda like is Venture Bros., and maybe some Birdman...

[Go-chin]

Hot damn that'd be sweet.

I'd kill for an uncensored release. :p

*Bets Me, LFV, and about two others even know what this show is*

[j32885]

Hmm...anime giantess...panty shots glore.....:D


Have to agree with Beatdigga on this one, personally I rather have Colorful than Milk Chan right now. ADV has a huge library of anime titles, but Williams Street chooses not aquired any big name titles from them. WS knows that whatever they get from ADV, they will have to reformated to match AS network standards. :shrug:

As in Akane Maniax? Well, it'd be something different. However, I don't think it'll ever happen. Probably a good thing. Next thing you know, CN would be running Mouse and Eiken.

"Oblongs" "Mission Hill", there's two I'd forgotten about, and was glad of it:sad: Viewing mistakes I hope never to repeat,YUCK!

Colorful looks hilarious, so we'll surely never see it on AS.

No, We're talking about Maniax.
It's an H show that isn't afraid of letting a little blood fly.

Hence why I said I'd kill for an uncensored release, as it hasn't been licensed and probably will never be. Then again, they've released stuff in the US like Princess 69/Shintaisou Kari, so we'll see.

You and your H :sweat:

Anyway, considering ADV's funding stuff like Elfen Lied and Gantz (both of which are chock full of blood spray and sex,) I'd have to imagine people will licence anything these days.

Back on topic, it wouldn't suprise me if ADV had pitched Colorful to AS. After all, they tried to pitch Eva to Toonami at one point.

[Tienshin]

Colorful is pretty mindless, but somehow it manages to be funny despite being entirely reliant on slapstick type humor arising from lonely dudes and their attempts to see panties. Not naked chicks, not boobs, not trying to have sex, JUST seeing panties. In fact here is the typical Colorful short plot:

Guy on a train: *Sees girl in skirt about to recross legs*
Girl in skirt: *begins slowly parting legs to recross*
Guy on a train: :anime:
Girl in skirt: *Legs continue to slowly part exposing a glimmer of panty*
Guy on a train: :sweat:
Girl in skirt: *Legs fully apart for a brief second exposing full crotch panty shot*
Guy on a train: :eek: ^_______^ *flails arms and snot dangles from nose*

And that's it. Really, that's a typical Colorful situation. Stupid? Yes. Funny? Somehow or another yes. It wouldn't surprise me if it was pitched to CN and they shot it down. It is kind of a one trick pony. And yet Super Milk Chan airs...go figure.

[Master Moron]

Well, Bernard hasn't ranted about it yet. Therefore, he must not hate it as much as he did Case Closed.

He'd only rant about it if it replaced a show he liked. It replaced Venture Brothers, so unless he likes Venture Brothers, then he wouldn't complain about Milk Chan.

You know, I wonder if Noir could be on Toonami if they replaced all the guns with lasers?

Yeah, but WS hates doing extensive editorial these days. It's tedious, expensive and time consuming, even with the newer technology to do it and even though it's much easier to edit digital cel than a standard cel (no jitter to worry about with digicel.)

Besides, we don't need to see this on CN any time soon:

or this:

and especially not this:

Just because something can be edited down, doesn't make it a good idea.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! :)

Nice work. I applaud your realistic take on the state of ridiculous editting.

[Zyzzybalubah]

I've heard mostly negative things about Colorful... well until I entered this message board. :D I guess I can't judge until I see it (can't now, my friend sold his copy :() so I won't sweat it much, but yeah it probably would have been a better acquistion than Milk-chan, even if both stink. :p

Now Ping Pong Club, that'd be something I'd like to see pitched to Adult Swim. HAHAHA.

[Umino]

Noir was turned down by AS? Man, I would have thought that's a good show for AS..

[True Noir]

Haha! Nice pictures, Karl. Man, I would love to see GG anywhere on CN.

[Mog]

I don't know, Henrietta's P90 looks pretty good with the disco light modifications. Like it's tearing ass around the block, but it's completely still.

Dear Williams Street,

Pick this show up >>>>>> http://carnage.fanfic.org/nuku02.jpg

This show has action, comedy, and plenty of surprises for anime fans and your general audience. It already has a huge following and is split up into 3 different shows that could play out like Tenchi Muyo once did. Age has nothing to do with the audience's taste since it's considered modern. Plus you'll make a vast amout of money on the merchandise that is currently out or can be developed shortly. It's a win win situation for everyone.

Sincerly,
Nin-Nin69

P.S. By the time you finish reading this, this entire post makes up for the wasted time on your crappy bumpers that prevent me from watching my intros and endings.

Have you met Ethan Hammond? :D

[livingfruitvirus]

So far from the comments I've seen on this show it looks like the usual cliche tasteless Japanese humor. Trying to look at panties! Wow! That's so not been done.

Plus you'll make a vast amout of money on the merchandise that is currently out or can be developed shortly. No they won't. They don't make any money from merchandise. Only the distributor does. That's another reason they, and any network (like Nickelodeon, who doesn't even acquire shows anymore), tend to favor their originals because they can make vast amounts of money by distributing them.

Have you met Ethan Hammond? :D Oh no. Let's not bring this fist-shaking ******bag into the conversation.


vvvvv thanks

You mean to tell me they'd make jack squat if people bought T-Shirts and Statues from their site?

Just from their site, which isn't a whole lot. They'd make nothing from selling toys, shirts, DVDs, and crap like that to retail stores around the country. ADV would pocket it all.

So in other words, the exact same thing that's happening with Super-Milk Chan.

[JShaggy]

*Watches Colorful on Anime Network On Demand*

I'm glad this show isn't going to AS, or it would probably be the end of the programming block.

Not for content of course, I mean, most of it could probably be shown on TV...but...well, the show sucks ass.To put it nicely.

And from the comments I had heard, I was expecting better fanservice.

[Nin-Nin69]

They wouldn't make any money even if the shirts, DVD's, and toys had the AS lable?
