[Dead]

ARGHHHH! AHHHHHHH!!! Watch it jerks!


Btw, I believe Gits 2nd gig starts in July.

 

[MetatronM]

September, actually.

 

[Dead]

September, actually.

Ah? Couldve swore I read July.


Fakedit: Oh ok, the site I got July from corrected it to september, nevrmind

 

[Meier]

s.CRY.ed rocks so much. Watch it people.

 

[Teknopathetic]

s.cry.ed does own. As does Champloo. As does TGTTM. Adult Swim's gonna be rockin'.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Champloo starts on my b-day which is fitting. They both mark the beginning of something awesome.

All kidding aside Champloo is very good series. Definitely watch it whenever you guys can.

 

[J2 Cool]

May is gonna rock! E3, Family Guy, American Dad, Champloo, Bulls in playoffs, end of school(graduation), Ep III..

 

[Brian Fellows]

I really cannot stand Tom Goes to the Mayor.

 

[Wraith]

The voices in the Japanese Samurai Champloo, Jin's in particular, are awesome. I hope they get some good voice actors!

the US voice actors are ok, the guy who did Spike does Mugen I don't know who does Jin but I don't know still not sure If I like his Jin

but theyre up to the second dvd out in the US

and is CN going to show them in widescreen form?


can I also second that TGTTM needs to be taken off the air and is one of the worst pieces of crap to ever be aired on tv

 

[Belfast]

I still kind of want to know what's up with Toonami, though. I know they're starting to show One Piece soon (horrible, horrible dub, ugh, but still, its One Piece), but I want to kow what the status for the other new acquisitions are, and where's my BOBOBO?

 

[levious]

Naruto is 3rd quarter, Bobobo is 4th quarter. Haven't seen more specific dates than that.

IGPX is November.

Transformers Galaxy Force in the Summer sometime.

Gash Bell is already on.

 

[MetatronM]

and is CN going to show them in widescreen form?

I don't see why not. They already show GITS: Stand Alone Complex in widescreen format.

There seems to be a pattern here.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

At first I couldn't stand TGTTM or Super Milkchan, but now I just can't stand Super Milkchan. Tom is pretty funny stuff.

 

[Inumaru]

TGTM is the steamingest pile of shit ever. I cannot believe CN signed to have additional episodes produced after the strenuous, nearly unanimous objections of AS fans. Makes me want to turn off AS all together. Everything else, I can live with.

 

[Lindsay]

Whaaat pattern?

 

[atomsk]

what? Paranoia Agent? FUCKING SWEET

 

[Teknopathetic]

TGTTM rocks. To call GitS sucky would get you shivved.

wait wait wait you put the worst show on television ever TGTTM in the Yay pile but Samurai Champloo one of the best anime series ever released into the suck pile

holy shit remind me to never ask for your taste on anything

 

[tedtropy]

The Yay Pile -



The Suck Pile -



The Undecide Pile -

Wow. I'm all for individual preference and all, but man...your opinions are WRONG. I just can't give you any leeway on this one. :lol

 

[Lindsay]

Sorry but Ninja/Samurai stuff just aren't for me wether they be games/cartoons/etc.

As for GitS TV it puts me to sleep. Great production values and all but the characters aren't people I'd give to rips about in real life. They are generic to a T and the only personality they got a "witty" one-liners.

Tom Goes to the Mayor is good and can only go up. The only episode I truly hate it Toodle Day (cause its frickin gross!).

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Here's the rundown:

MAY 3RD

5:00 AM - Case Closed (presumably episode 3) -RUMORED, NOT CONFIRMED
5:30 AM - Lupin III - #3: To Be or Nazi Be - This episode was previously banned from broadcast. I guess with the new network split and obscenely late/early hour they figure they can get away with it.

-Both of these two shows will presumably take over the 5:00 hour beginning on May 1

A 7th hour?

 

[masud]

What's going on with Home Movies? Thats the best show on AS IMO.

 

[Lindsay]

A 7th hour?

The 7th hours been in place for a couple of weeks now. Currently it has Popeye & Toonheads. Which is why I'm pissed Case Closed is being put in the 5 a.m. slot. Lupin is a classic series so I do not mind it all "invading" the current classics hour. CC however is not and should not replace Popeye/Toonheads/Bob Clampet show. CN lacks classic toons as it is. AS was nice enough to fill the new hour with classics but stupid enough to let their idiot messageboarders vote those shows off the air once again ;_;

What's going on with Home Movies? Thats the best show on AS IMO.

It ended last year after its 4th season. HM is great but stuffs gotta end sometime.

 

[Andy787]

Fuck yes, Champloo!

And yes, TGTTM is fucking atrocious.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

The 7th hours been in place for a couple of weeks now.

Hadn't noticed that. It's been quite a thing to see Adult Swim keep expanding, from originally 6 hours a week to now 42, I guess.

 

[Phoenix]

The Yay Pile -



The Suck Pile -



The Undecide Pile -

Wow... hopefully you don't have any contact with Adult Swim folks because your suck pile is full of stuff that keeps me actually watching Adult Swim.

 

[Beezy]

The Yay Pile -



The Suck Pile -



The Undecide Pile -

So you basically don't like japanese anime...

 

[Rorschach]

Are they getting rid of Futurama? It's consistantly their highest rated show.

Also, maybe someone here knows. What was that thing they were doing where they had a two different brackets with a show on each branch like some sort of tournament. I only caught Milk Chan winning the right bracket and Futurama winning the left. I would say it's for "favorite shows" but Milk Chan is there. It can't be for least liked shows since Futurama is there...

 

[Lindsay]

Blah blah anime nerds blah blah.

I like "good" anime. However AS has not picked up a good anime in a long time.

In the beginning they picked up some great series.

Bebop
Lupin
Trigun
Kikaider
Big O
FLCL

As time went on they went with angsty dramatic shit.

Inuyasha
Blue Gender
Witch Hunter Robin
Wolf's Rain
Milk Chan
FMA
GitS

By the way I like Case Closed but since they cancelled the series it's a waste of airtime. I hate to be reminded of that show because I love it so, but could never ever afford to buy the insane amount of dvds it has.

 

[MetatronM]

How in the hell does Trigun not qualify as "angsty dramatic shit?" Aside from perhaps Inuyasha and Fullmetal, it's the angstiest series on Adult Swim.

And how does Milk Chan qualify as "angsty dramatic shit" for that matter?

And have you even seen Samurai Champloo (considering you put it in the "suck" pile)? Because it fits in line MUCH more with the anime series you like than the ones you don't.

 

[Lindsay]

How in the hell does Trigun not qualify as "angsty dramatic shit?" Aside from perhaps Inuyasha and Fullmetal, it's the angstiest series on Adult Swim.

Trigun = angsty? Not the first half of the series. And the second half is serious action type stuff. It's also a fun show to watch with friends.

And how does Milk Chan qualify as "angsty dramatic shit" for that matter?

Take that in 3 parts.

Angsty
Dramatic
Shit

The last one fitting Milk Chan ~_^

And have you even seen Samurai Champloo (considering you put it in the "suck" pile)? Because it fits in line MUCH more with the anime series you like than the ones you don't.

Like I said before Ninjas & Samurai's don't do much for me. Much less Samurai's fighting....robots to....hip hop music.

 

[MetatronM]

Vash the Stampede is just one big walking bundle of angst.

Ok, that makes more sense with Milk Chan.



And...robots? Umm...huh?

 

[MetatronM]

Just thought I'd bump this to confirm that it is now 100% official that Case Closed will be on at 5:00 am starting May 1. It was widely rumored and assumed before. Now it is confirmed.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Milk Chan sucks balls. I just wanted to say that.

 

[Tabris]

As time went on they went with angsty dramatic shit.

Wait for the moment they pick-up and air Evangelion. If you think some of that stuff is angsty and dramatic, you're in for a few suprises yet.

 

[J2 Cool]

Holy shit, that pile is ridiculous. GITS complex? FMA?? Samurai Champloo???? I seem to remember you hating The Incredibles too, not having seen it and saying you no real want to either. I've never seen someone so confused on good animation.

 

[MetatronM]

Wait for the moment they pick-up and air Evangelion. If you think some of that stuff is angsty and dramatic, you're in for a few suprises yet.

Actually, Evangelion is one of Adult Swim's so-called "black-listed anime." They will never air it. Same goes for Ranma 1/2. :lol

 

[Forgotten_Taco]

Ranma 1/2.

Thank god, Ranma 1/2 is a pile of shit.

 

[iced lightning]

Tom Goes to the Mayor is fucking great.

 

[Lindsay]

MetatronM - Maybe I'm confusing the robots thing in Champloo with Samurai Seven~

Holy shit, that pile is ridiculous. GITS complex? FMA?? Samurai Champloo???? I seem to remember you hating The Incredibles too, not having seen it and saying you no real want to either. I've never seen someone so confused on good animation.

I never said anything about hating the Incredibles just that I see no need to watch it -_-;;

 

[Lathentar]

I just saw North by North Quahog. It was pretty lame.
