Should Boomerang air anime?
I don't mean any anime, just classic anime. Classic anime in AMERICA, not Japan. That would mean Knights of the Zodiac, Lupin III, and Mobile Suit Gundam wouldn't be elligible.
I'm thinking about Robotech, Voltron, Battle of The Planets, Speed Racer, Astro Boy, and Gigantor. Stuff adults grew up with since Boomerang is marketing itself as a "Nostalgia Channel" rather than a "Classics Channel". Hence why Hanna-Barbera crap dominate its airwaves instead of classic LT/MGM shorts...y'know the good stuff. So I figure, if that's how they wanna be why not air some some nostalgic anime while they're at it? I know they lost the rights to like, all of those, but it's still a nice thought. They really oughta cut back on the H-B crap, though, and give some more hours to classic LT/MGM shorts. Anyway, just an idea.

HELL yeah they should. I'd actually want Boomerang then. I made a thread about how they should have a Retro-Nami Swim there or something.
Mobile Suit Gundam deserves a full run, as does Lupin III. Boomerang is the best place for it that I can think of.

I'd say yes, but I know the guys at the TTTP would scream at the last stronghold of Bugs and friends being invaded by anime.
I really think at this point, the audience for anime and Boomerang's primary audience are incompatible. Not to say it can't happen in the future.

I'd love for Lupin III and MSG to air on Boomerang, but nobody born and raised in America grew up with those so it probably wouldn't work. Boomerang is about cartoons 25+year olds grew up with.
I don't think Ronin Warriors would work either, since those of us that grew up with Ronin Warriors are in high school/college. I don't think Boomerang targets us yet. Robotech, Speed Racer, Voltron, Battle of The Planets, Astro Boy could work however. That's why I think Boomerang should acquire them.

Sure! It would be great to have Boomerang air some of the anime we grew up with in the U.S. in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Such as: Astro Boy Gigantor Eight Man Marine Boy Kimba the White Lion Speed Racer Star Blazers Battle of the Planets Captain Future Captain Harlock Force Five ThunderSub Tranzor Z Voltron Robotech Thunderbirds 2086 Ulysses 31 Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs etc.

I think Boomerang should run all cartoons from the past. I like how they break things down into years. Heck, I think they should even back up their offerings to theater animation from the 1930s and 40s. Plus it would be ideal if it wasn't just Hanna-Barbera stuff. I know it wouldn't be cost-effective, but its a dream.

I can't defend H-B thanks to Gobots. Who would turn to them for a show about transforming robots? At least Hasbro was smart enough to license Toei.
Although they made Pirates of Dark Water? Didn't know that.
