Now, it's obvious many of these people don't watch Adult Swim.

I do wish there was an anime series out there that didn't look like Speed Racer...

¡Ay carumba! :D

"Toon Zone ran a story earlier this month with regards to three Anime series Cartoon Network acquired for it's Adult Swim block. Reign, Lupin III, and Trigun are slated to join the already impressive Anime line-up next year. Lupin is slated to start airing on January 13, and the others are TBA."

A little late, but that's pretty accurate.

Trigun is a great match fo Toonami- everyone should check it out.

Um...is it just me, or does this phrase contradict what previously came before it?

heh. some of these comments though.

*ALL* of your new CN original shows blow, and blow quite hard. This is almost like Sci-Fi turning into the "Anything but sci-fi" network...

Anyone else severely distraught with their near annihilation of their looney tunes programming?


Um, no it isn't.

Can't get enough looney tunes reruns huh?

Does cartoon network still have Spike smoking tooth picks?
In the original run (When they ran it at 3pm or thereabouts) a few years ago they editted out all of the cigarettes and replaced them with tooth picks. But they didn't edit out the smoke. So there were about 2 dozen shots of spike standing around with a flaming toothpick in his mouth....

Just one of the many on Slashdot who don't watch AS.

If the block is adult swim, why are anime series reduced to a Y-7 rating? Yes, it's costing me alot to watch anime on DVD, but the series are much more enjoyable in their entirety with directly translated subtitles to go with the English dubs (which in the case of Funimations work is often inexplicable reworked).

they should come to our board once.

We Don't Need Any Bloody Lupins

Enough said. :brak:

Alright, I don't have enough time to get an account here, also because I probably won't ever be back, but anyways, I think I can answer many questions that have been asked here... The only reason for any TV-Y7 programming on Adult Swim was as placeholders until they bought new shows. As of now, only the last hour is TV-Y7. The first two hours are all TV-PG and TV-14. Spike smoking toothpicks? What are you smoking?! Cowboy Bebop plays 99% uncut, and it always has since the original run. Look, I have a strong feeling most of you guys don't watch Adult Swim very much. Either that, or you're just stupid. Spike smoking toothpicks? Every show Y7? This isn't Toonami, regardless of what the article says (something along the lines of "these would be great fits for Toonami"). You should be happy with you get. Cartoon Network is officially a children's network, they've been pushing the limits as far as they are allowed. When they first bought Cowboy Bebop, they wanted to show it completely uncut, but the BS&P (broadcasting standards and practices) stepped in and said "no way". Next year, they officially become an all-ages network, which will remove many of the limits placed upon them, but seriously, do you think that they could be showing nudity even then? They're a basic cable channel! If they could show actual nudity, Comedy Central or MTV would be showing hardcore porno by now. Sorry if I sounded rude, but if you don't believe me go to toonzone.net's Adult Swim forums, and you'll find out pretty quickly that I'm right. Cheers, Superloud4

This man can't tell the difference between "Blue Sub No. 6" and "Cowboy Bebop," and as such should never be allowed to watch anime again.
