Interesting notes:

- After ending Eureka Seven will be replaced by Second Gig episodes for anyone who wanted to seem them air again.

- Bleach and Blood+ stay the course for new eps until....

- Some sort of Futurama marathon interrupts them the first week of June. Between that and the April Futurama marathon AS must be trying to air as much of the show as possible. Guess cause it's leaving by 08 and they're squeezing as much out of it as possible. Thus the double eps on Sunday.

- Family guy continues with new to AS premieres (well that's an obvious doy but still worth noting in some form).

- Tim and Eric end at at 10 episode run as Saul of the Molemen continues to air new eps throughout May into June.

- Moral Orel finishes out it's second season (hopefully) in late April continuing into June.

- May 13 seems to be pilot day as some of the pilots AS has (Including Superjail and Sip) get to air. Guess we'll hear what they're about in the upcoming months.

- Aqua Teen, Robot Chicken and three weeks of Saul will rotate the 12AM slots, being the most popular 11 minute originals (well not Saul which is probably just a random decision and a way to reair all the show's eps).

- Shin Chan is actually starting from episode 1 April 9th, staring new episodes the 18th for a week and a half, then rotating those eps, then another week and a half of new eps, then rotating those eps and starting from the beginning. That guarantees at least 14 new eps, hopefully more after the restart of the series in June.

- For you late bloomers Volotrn is airing sporadic new episodes spread out at the 5:30AM slot.

Pretty decent schedule. Would of liked to have seen more from may from ASC but oh well.

I see there is still no sign of New Robot Chicken episodes. I was hoping Season 3 would start next month, but I guess not. The ATHF movie is airing on AS so soon?

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Wow, Orel Season 3 already.

Glad to see Bebop back, mad to see Sleep Alone Complex back.

Futurama is really getting overrun by AS, in anticipation of losing it.

ATHF:FFT is airing BEFORE it does in theaters (04.13.07)....
It has to be an April Fools joke.

Yeah I was thinking "Waite a minute, the movie isn't even in theatres yet?". Sounds like an April Fools joke to me now that I think about it.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Question is what they actually air there. Knowing AS...a marathon of Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job!

*sigh*

Well, maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be a good show instead.

Saturday

I'll be surprised if the Oblongs/Boondocks combo lasts as long as they plan it to.

Bebop is coming back earlier than I thought. I had it pegged for late 2007, but I'm not complaining.

Already knew about 2nd Gig, but a Futurama marathon on the first week of June? Could that be the beginning of the Futurama/Shin-Chan Saturday combo I've predicted?

Sunday

Nice April Fools

Futurama marathon, and then double Futurama? [as] is sure making use of these final months with the show...

Pilot week looks pretty cool.

Weekdays

FG/RC/ATHF winning combo in the future.

Spacing out Shin-Chan premieres, not a bad idea I guess.

They're going to repeat IY after it airs all its episodes? Ugh. I know it's pulling in great ratings for the hour, but I really hoped they'd use that hour to air repeats of their new anime. I feel sorry for whoever missed TB and E7 episodes...

[Christopher Soul]

ATHF movie.. total April Fool's Joke.
Always glad to see Bebop again. I figured we'd see Eva.

[CartoonSwim69]

I was going to make a thread for this, but I didn't notice this one so it was closed. Anyway, the pilot day, new Shin Chan, and new Moral Orels sound exciting and so are the 2 Futurama marathons.

I'll watch. Considering my On Demand skipped all the violent ones, I have to find someway to watch the whole season.

[Beat]

April Fools joke is so going to involve a marathon of Tim and Eric. I can smell it.

[peacebyanymeans]

It would be cool if for April Fools, they air anime all night on the Sunday.



I wish.

I was going to say Voltron.

[The Myst]

They should actually show the ATHF movie on April Fools Day. That would really **** with people. I mean, we all expect that to be an April Fools joke so it would be even more of a joke on us to actually air it.

[Master Moron]

I'm not looking forward to those Futurama marathons. I guess Adult Swim wants to make sure they run it into the ground now so Comedy Central can't make any money off of it.

[Draft]

I bet what April 1st is really gonna be

FUTURAMA

and i know what every second of Adult Swim will be

FUTURAMA

[MeggieMay]

Two thoughts - first, the Futurama marathons. I have to wonder if AS loses Futurama in July 2007, not 2008. That could explain the sudden marathoning.

Second, Saturday March 31 and April 7th schedule is exactly the same. Seeing most of the shows will actually air April 1 on the March 31st schedule, does anyone else think we're about to have another round of mustash/bathroom humor here? .

Well, this is post #1. If they did those fart jokes again, I wouldn't be happy. Last year I believe they only had one show premiering (a GITS 2nd GIG), but this year they would have 3 premiers. They really have no reason for those jokes, seeing that April 1st is on Sunday this year. Then again, AS seems to be losing faith in anime these days, so it wouldn't be too surprising if they did.
