C&C - Anything Else/Cards [9/10 - 9/15]

[Rabi~en~Rose]

this week of reruns will be better then the rest :anime:






Disclaimer: your experience may vary

[delariean]

New FMA promo...I know a lot of Protesting AS fans are happy....

[Mugen]

Nice to see a FMA promo for next week. I see they're showing off the action side with all those clips.

[Tenku]

Oh wow, spiffy new FMA promo. I wonder what that song is...

[Happy]

The episode of Futurama shown tonight is one of my favorites. To bad its the only thing I'm tuning in for. (InuYasha is boring and I have no interest what-so-ever in Escaflowne)

[Timmay]

That promo is a bit spoily on the ed v. greed fight.

[Duke]

Yea, but it's tantalizing to see that Ed's gonna have a lot of trouble ahead.

[Youko Recca]

Nice FMA promo alright. Damn, has me pumped for Greed again.

[Zyzzybalubah]

Man why couldn't FMA be on this week. :( That promo is getting me real excited... I wonder how Escaflowne is going to do ratings wise?

[True Noir]

Glad to hear that FMA's coming back. One of the better series on AS.

[Anime Guy]

Awesome FMA ad. Especially love the part with that guy saying, "If there's one man who can help us" and that remix in the background.

[Assembler]

Awesome FMA ad. Especially love the part with that guy saying, "If there's one man who can help us" and that remix in the background.yeah thatpart and when someone said "and there's a man coming right now"i wonder who in the world is that blue zombie type person.he looked wierd:shrug: .this is one of my favorite [as] commercial of the week.that beat was the best:)

[NickWhiz1]

Missed the FMA promo :(

Magic: the Gathering promo :eek: Looks like they really want to hype the new set coming out, which people are considering one of the best sets in a long time.

[Youko Recca]

The hell is "Magic"?

[NickWhiz1]

The hell is "Magic"?
The first collectible card game.

12 years strong and still going.

*needs to change his signature now >.<*

[William C. Maune]

Magic: the Gathering promo :eek: Looks like they really want to hype the new set coming out, which people are considering one of the best sets in a long time.

Cool! I may have to break out my cards again.

[livingfruitvirus]

Speaking of cards, that last card sure was surprising.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I haven't bought much magic since the Mirrodin block(okay, that was just a year ago...), because the place I played stopped hosting torunaments.:sad:

[Youko Recca]

The first collectible card game.

12 years strong and still going.

*needs to change his signature now >.<*
Oh yeah, that's right.

[True Noir]

No....let's not bring this into existance anymore. :ack:

[Vagrant]

One word: Razors*





*Unlike most people who count words, it is actually one word.

[Timmay]

Brock Samson with Led Zeppelin in the background immediately makes for badassery.

Is that Rei cosplayer a man..

[Rabi~en~Rose]

If the cable ratings are any indication, the country was spending most of their time watching Fox News and CNN.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

I understand that I was more scared and confused about my prophetic tagline and what to do with the "second" F-Guy in regards to my next ratings roundup :sweat:

[Beat]

If the cable ratings are any indication, the country was spending most of their time watching Fox News and CNN.
Can you blame them? This has been affecting ratings just about everywhere.

[Happy]

Whats this about a new 70/30 show?

[Happy]

Lupin? Crazy.

[Youko Recca]

LUPIN!

But.....where's Spike?

[Pepperidge]

They really need to start movies at 11.

[Demonic Raven]

Uh....wow. Lupin did decently considering it's timeslot but.....why? Surely Bebop couldn't have sucked in ratings....right? :sad:

Well, that's weird.

Holy Hell...Bebop Movie ain't even on there!

[KuwabaraTheMan]

If Lupin's getting those numbers at 5:00 AM, it would have to do alot better in the regular timeslots. Come on, AS. Lupin and Conan earlier.

[Beat]

Lupin. LUPIN?! OMGWTFBBQ?!

I knew the ratings were erratic, but this is new. The 30 minute shows didn't even do that badly, but the Bebop movie must have crashed and burned.

[livingfruitvirus]

If Lupin's getting those numbers at 5:00 AM, it would have to do alot better in the regular timeslots.
You can apply that to any show.

[Beat]

I think the moral of this story is that movies do not work.

[William C. Maune]

Wow, I don't think anyone would have ever expected Bebop to be one of the lowest rated movies, and if I remember correctly, somehow Metropolis is still the highest rated?

Lupin - the little show that just keeps on kickin'! I wonder how much Geneon wants for 26 more episodes at this point? (Or I'd bet Funi has some movies available). Also, I guess this means that Lupin topped the 2AM Futurama episode.

[G1Ravage]

Regarding tonight's episode of Venture Bros....

I'm wondering if "Steve Somers" is supposed to be some kind of obscure reference only I would understand.

[Wounded_Dragon]

I think the moral of this story is that movies do not work.
Movies on Saturday at any rate...

[The Collector]

LOL! Lupin beat the almighty Bebop!:evil: That's hilarious, one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Also, blaming Bebop's ratings on the news doesn't really work, not when the ratings for Futurama and Inuyasha were pretty normal.

[Zyzzybalubah]

Yikes on the ratings...

I would like to see Lupin movies on AS, just don't expect too big of ratings WS. They'd be nice to see though.

[ShadowS]

LOL! Lupin beat the almighty Bebop!:evil: That's hilarious, one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Also, blaming Bebop's ratings on the news doesn't really work, not when the ratings for Futurama and Inuyasha were pretty normal. The Cowboy Bebop movie got PWNED! I guess the people here that rooted for it to do better then IY movie 2 last week are now disappointed. Oh well.
So far just about all the movies have done really mediocre.

Posted in another topic by Rabi~en~Rose

Metropolis - 480,000
Read or Die - 355,000
IY Movie 2 - 346,000
Animatrix - 335,000
*CB Movie - Under 328,000(!)*
IY Movie 1 - n/a

[TnAdct1]

Regarding tonight's episode of Venture Bros....

I'm wondering if "Steve Somers" is supposed to be some kind of obscure reference only I would understand. Nope, "Steve Somers" is actually quite an obvious reference if you're familiar to the show that's being referenced here The Six-Million Dollar Man

[Fatneck]

Regarding tonight's episode of Venture Bros....

It's a reference to the six million dollar man, Steve Austin. The VB character's name is combination of the 6 mil man's name and the bionic woman's name, Jaime Sommers.

Thanks for explaining it.

[MeggieMay]

There's only one problem with that Lupin rating

Lupin didn't air that night! It didn't air anytime during the 24 hour ratings period for Saturday even!!! :eek:

Remember, the Cowboy Bebop movie ran over by a half hour, so the second airing of Futurama and Lupin III didn't air. However, that run-over wasn't announced beforehand and both shows did show up in the online TV listings as airing.

So either AS misread their ratings or Neilsen messed them up or something else is going on here. However, no matter how you look at it the ratings card is wrong. Now it'll be interesting if Adult Swim explains what happened or just ignores the obvious booboo here :mad:

[Viceroy]

The first collectible card game.

12 years strong and still going.
Stan: "Tonight's episode is brought to you by Magic, the card game of mystery and imagination."

Kenny: "It sounds ****in' gay."

[herbkir]

So if Lupin wasn't airing that night because of the CB movie runover, then was it the CB movie showing during what normally was Lupin's slot. If so, then that is the rating for the CB movie. Which still is a very poor ratings performance.

With movies in general, AS keeps starting them at midnight. That is a mistake. Casual viewers may be willing to stay with a movie 11-1 but not 12-2. Except maybe the Animatrix and Escaflowne, the movies seen on AS in recent months didn't have content that shouldn't be shown before midnight. (^_*)

[BDawg]

I'm sick of the movies, they take up so much of the block so if you don't want to watch them there isn't much point in tuning in at all.

[James Bester]

Straight from adultswim.com:

The Boondocks will now premiere Sunday, November 6, at 11 p.m. with encore Saturday showings beginning November 12 at midnight.

Starting Saturday, September 24, Super Milk-Chan makes its triumphant return to Adult Swim, airing at 5 a.m. Saturdays and weekdays, followed by Cartoon Planet at 5:30 a.m.

FLCL will begin another Saturday run starting October 1 at midnight.

On Sunday, October 2, American Dad will air at 10 p.m., followed by new episodes of Family Guy at 10:30 p.m. and repeats at 11 p.m.

So, I guess FLCL will take over the midnight slot until The Boondocks arrives. And say goodbye to Case Closed and Lupin The Third possibly for good. It sucks that they're bring back Milk-Chan, but atleast we're getting Cartoon Planet.

The reairing of cowboy bebop did better in it's last half hour at 5 am than throughout the entire night?

[Rurouni Kenshin]

So Lupin never aired, maybe AS is trying to play a joke on us?

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Dammit, why do Lupin and Case Closed have to leave.:sad:

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Super Milk-Chan makes its triumphant return

I lol'd :p

followed by Cartoon Planet at 5:30 a.m.

and then I cried :crying: I wanted to see this show but its on at a time I'll never get to see

FLCL will begin another Saturday run starting October 1 at midnight.

did FLCL get extended or was its contract always more then 2 yrs? :confused:

followed by new episodes of Family Guy at 10:30 p.m. and repeats at 11 p.m.

I know its only until Boondocks arrives but another F-Guy hour? :yawn:

[Karl Olson]

My bet is that FLCL (like Bebop) has been such a consistant performer that even if it was originally a two year contract, CN might have shilled out to keep it for longer because it works and they don't the risk of being counter-programmed by it. Basically, I'd assume it's now theirs until further notice.

[LordByronius]

On Sunday, October 2, American Dad will air at 10 p.m., followed by new episodes of Family Guy at 10:30 p.m. and repeats at 11 p.m.
Guess they got the Fox issues with Family Guy on Sundays ironed out. Again.

You'd have to wonder how much money they're giving Fox at this point to keep the show on Sundays.

Also, the Family Guy repeats seem to only be a temporary placeholder until they can air Boondocks in November. So it'll be gone in a month.

[Rurouni Kenshin]

Does PA start airing reruns tonight?

[Mr.E]

If those Lupin's ratings are true then all I can do is............ ACT IMMATURE AS HELL, HA!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE THAT ALL YOU LUPIN HATERS!!!!!!!! NA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Delthayre]

Does PA start airing reruns tonight?
No, it begins running in the weeknight strip at 1:00am* next Monday.

*Eastern Time, not one of those fake time zones, like Central, or Alaskan. Hah! Alaskan time, what joke.

On Sunday, October 2, American Dad will air at 10 p.m., followed by new episodes of Family Guy at 10:30 p.m. and repeats at 11 p.m.So wait, does that mean the Saturday schedule will eventually be this?:

11PM - Futurama
11:30PM - Fullmetal Alchemist
Midnight - FLCL/Boondocks
12:30AM - GitS 2nd Gig
1AM - InuYasha
1:30AM - Cowboy Bebop

[livingfruitvirus]

11:30PM - Fullmetal Alchemist
Midnight - FLCL/Boondocks
12:30AM - Samurai Champloo
1AM - Scryed
1:30AM - Cowboy Bebop
You forgot Scryed.

[Scirel]

Soo.. How will it look when new eps of GITS(26) and SC(14) return?

[Duke]

Actually it'll be this.So, it'll be like this in December then?:

11PM - Futurama
11:30PM - Boondocks
Midnight - InuYasha
12:30AM - Fullmetal Alchemist
1AM - s-CRY-ed
1:30AM - FLCL

By December it'll look like:

11PM - GitS 2nd Gig
11:30PM - Fullmetal Alchemist
Midnight - Boondocks
12:30AM - Samurai Champloo
1AM - some rerun
1:30AM - some rerun

In case this was directed at me, let me simply say I'm not a fan of Lupin. Of course, I don't think Bebop is the "God of Anime" like some people on this board do. It was an average show and the movie was nothing more than a extended episode, and yet I'm sure there were those who thought it would break 500k and be the highest rated movie AS has ever or will ever show. I've never seen the fascination with the show some people have, and obviously the general publc doesn't either, at least as far as the movie goes. That's what I found funny, the fact that the movie fell on its face despite the obsessive devotion its fans have.

Also, if bashing a show is immature then most of the people here are guilty of it. Your post sounds like sour grapes from a Bebop fan who had your favorite movie do poorly in the ratings, don't take it out on others. Not everybody is going to share your opinions.

That's what I found funny, the fact that the movie fell on its face despite the obsessive devotion its fans have.People are surprised because the TV series has been one of the bigger ratings getters (which also include FMA, InuYasha, and FLCL), prompting CN to renew the contract over and over for the show. That's why people thought the Bebop movie would be a big hit.

Perhaps the movie would've done better if Starz/Encore/whatever didn't get it first.

Firts of all, what the hell are you talking about ?Iam praising Lupin III doing better then the CB movie. I was just gloating, and as a huge Lupin fan, I am gunna gloat like there is no tomorrow.Lupin has gotten little or no respect on AS, and seeing numbers like this makes me extremely happy.

Lupin didn't air that night. The last half hour of the CB movie aired in its slot, the ratings card was wrong.

EDIT: Great,I feel as low as Dan Rather.

It came from the weekly ratings card. I haven't seen anything in the way of a correction though.

Swimcon continues :eek: the new promo is good and shows off more of the cosplayers besides dogboy :)

[Delthayre]

I hadn't thought about it before, but on tonight's Futurama in many scenes preceeding the one where they cut down a palm after claiming that, "pine trees have been extinct for 800 years," pine trees are shown frequently in the background.

Yeah, I suppose that's a pretty senseless nitpick.

[jbanks97]

If anything, (and the ratings actually represent a phantom Lupin episode that wasn't actually shown that night), it's because the movie wasn't that great.

I love the series. I've seen many episodes numerous times, and it really doesn't get old with each viewing. The movie on the other hand felt like a 2 hour long episode. It was just another villian of the week that ended up being stretched out to 4 times it's length. The result is the movie felt like it was padded with alot of filler.

Not to say that it's bad, because it's not. I think the main problem is that most fans were expecting a movie to tie much closer into the main storyline. Yes it does explain Spike's state of mind in the last couple of episodes, but.......................eh. I would have prefered a prequel to the series.

[herbkir]

AS this past Sat. ran IY ep. 117 and their current run ends at ep. 126. That will put the last new IY episode for this year on Nov. 12 with new episodes resuming sometime in 2006. I'd expect Nov. 19 should see something else in IY's Saturday spot. (^_*)

[bishop083]

Ok, i've got to say that this week of FMA reruns has my favorite, and least favorite, episodes in it. The one from yesterday (aka: the episode 95% on a train) is my favorite, although todays is pretty good, too. Tomorrow's episode is, well... I won't say anything for those who haven't seen it, but I was deeply saddened by it.
But enough about that, let me get to tonight's episode. Those 2 have done a lot, haven't they? Failed and survived an attempt at human alchemy, used alchemy to help people out on several occasions, aided in child birth, and passed the toughest job interview ever. And they did it all byt the age of 12.
