Inu Yasha coming to CN,will it be Toonami or AS?

stanteau · #1 04-23-2002, 11:20 PM

It appears Viz has said that IY is pretty much a lock for CN but havn't stated which block.Any ideas?

I'm gonna say AS for a few reasons.First off it's pretty mature in dealing with death and loss of loved ones.Second the content,while not very consistent,is fairly adult.It's rare to see blood,but man o man does it get pretty bloody at times.Plus the dark feel that Naraku has would really spook a few parents.IY isn't a full fledged R rated show,but just adult enough that it couldn't be marketed to kids.

Thats cool that Ina Yasha is coming to CN.

And that is good news for me.

Sounds good, we just need to wait and see how this will progress.

Inu-Yasha does not have much offensive material to me but if it's going to be on CN, the little obscure material Inu-Yasha does have will be completely edited out...with is sad because it's part of the whole story.So even though this news satisfies me it saddens me to!

It's cool that Inu-Yasha might be coming. I was expecting it.

But I need more confirmation than just someone saying that Viz said something. I need to know where they said it.

ohmrbill · #7 04-24-2002, 03:19 AM

Fatal mentioned where they said it in this thread.

[indent]More specifically, information regarding this can be found at animenewsnetwork.com's Anime Cental report found here:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/arch...dustry.php#viz

The specific paragraph dealing with this says:

"Finally, Viz still has the rights to the Inu Yasha anime, and are working on getting it on Cartoon Network. They are
very confident that it will be broadcast on CN but at this time they don't know when. The home video release dates will depend on when the broadcast dates are agreed on."

grrrr....i hate it when someone copies my threads (j/k) but i did post it here first, and its like 4 or 5 posts directly below this one.

anyway, Initial D may be coming to CN as well. if you need more info, click on the link that ohmrbill put up

I hope these shows do come to CN. I think they would fit best on the ASA block.

I just got my monthly Viz magazine and on the cover its filled with picture from shows on cartoon netowkr such as Zoids CC, tenchi Muyo, Dragon Ball Z, Gundam and Inu-Yasha ... thats tells me something.

Galaxia · #12 04-24-2002, 09:35 PM

Wow....that's amazing....

Koggit · #13 04-25-2002, 07:17 AM

Nothings bad with it as it except for a little gore, But I don't see how you'd cover up rotten corpses. I mean, in the first episode alone has a raven popping through the chest of an undead corpse. It's a rather gorey scene and crucial to the plot. Simular scenes in every other episode.

I would say it's not adult enough for AS, but I don't see how it could air on Toonami. It's not really editable (is that a word?).

I love Inu-Yasha, it's one of my favorite series, but I don't want it to air on CN. AS or not, I don't want it to air.

I completely agree,that's what I kept thinking while watching it (damn I need more eps,I'm only on 54)

But I however do want it on TV.I'm a weird otaku type,I DO want as much anime on TV as possible,go figure

It will go on AS because it needs the show more. No one wants to see the same Y7 Outlaw Star that was on Toonami a year ago.

JustJack · #16 04-25-2002, 08:02 PM

Not to mention Inu-Yasha has a little bit of bath-time-nudity. Which COULD be covered up with Digital Bikini's(ala-Tenchi), so that we wont miss pieces of the story.

Anyway, I'm going to say AS. Right now I really believe CN NEEDS to concentrate more on developing series for AS, rather than Toonami. Even despite the fact that Toonami is starting to suck more & more(but, it'll get better with He-Man & Armada).

As for Initial D....I have absolutely no idea what it's about, so I cant say.

dawnyoshi · #17 04-25-2002, 08:37 PM

If Inu-Yasha makes it to CN, perhaps we might see the Fatal Fury specials and movie at some point on CN. That wouls rule.

Perhaps if Inu-Yasha is popular when it comes to CN, we might just see more confirmed rumors of Rumiko's favorite cursed gender changing martial artists. One can dream, right?

(note: I'm focusing on the theme of Viz with CN. Not just Ranma, because Viz has plently of good shows. heck, they're selling Zoids after all.)

just read that Viz owns Hamtaro and CN picked it up from them, finally CN got something not from bandai. and the zoids anime is by pioneer.

it's only been mentioned for toonami, unless they say something otherwise. Theirs no evidence of it going to ASA.

i dont think it was mentioned for anything, they just said that they[viz] are confident that it will air on cartoon network, they didnt say wheter it will be on toonami or AS. besides, toonami has G Gundam, Big O2, He-man and Transformers and i cant forget the new season of Dragonball Z and Dragonball. ASA has no new shows reported for this coming fall
