Cartoon Network's Adult Swim

What does everybody say: Adult Swim, does it do good or bad for anime?

The term Adult is just to give warning that maybe you should send the kids out of the room. Some things that are coming on such as InuYasha or Sealab 2021 may not be appropite for them to hear.

So I am gonna side with... neither. I guess.

I say it's good for anime. Late night slots such as this provide an opportunity for more anime to be shown and for that anime to be shown with fewer cuts and edits than would be required for more mainstream hours. It's only because of these late night hours that viewers have the opportunity to see series such as Cowboy Bebop and Trigun that would be too intense to be shown anywhere else on the network. Being a top-tier cable outlet means the anime gets nationwide coverage. Just look at the attention the announcements of Fullmetal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex brought.

Speaking of Ghost in a Shell, I wanna see that movie, and I'm thirty! *Drinks pepsi* ... Motoko's hot

Not to mention Read or Die TV is coming to AS...One Piece would've found a nicer home on AS than on Fox Box, but they got licensed by none other than 4Kids.......They need to be flushed.

Cowboy Bebop struck big on AS
Trigun is a top notch player
The Big-O's first and second halves took off on AS
a Multitude of Gundam Series, Yu Yu Hakusho, Detective Conan/Case Closed, Witch Hunter Robin, etc.

If there is anything, ANYTHING at ALL that will open the eyes of the public, it will be Adult Swim. The various anime networks, and the remnants of TechTV's block don't have a big enough base. CN already has built up an extensive cable and dish base, and if they really wanted to, they could sink everyone else. All they need is some unknown and good anime to bring to the national television lineup.

Not the TV series. The OVA. The TV series ended up at G4TechTV. Apparently, G4 wants to fight.

I hate TechTV, Especially the show where they judge the games. (it's so Gay)....... anyways... they shouldn't have got rid of Rurouni Kenshin. that was my favorite anime...

The only problem i have with anime on tv is that it is chopped and edited. Thats why i will only see the original japanese version (with subs of course).

I would too, but I could never get my hands on 'em. Or anything, for that matter...I want to see the unedited version of DBZ. On Cartoon Network, they don't even let them say 'hell'! >< But this is what I'm stuck with...so I'll work with it.

I heard that the Japanese version of DBZ is very gory and pornographic..

SaiyanNekoKitsune_Meryl · Post by **SaiyanNekoKitsune_Meryl** » Oct 12, 2004 7:24pm

Yeah. But it's the gore I want to see...

Hehe...

Don't worry. It's actually on the way back. After Gundam SEED passes episode 26, it's going off Toonami (probably to give The Ocean Group time to finish dubbing) and Rurouni Kenshin will take its place.

Wazzup? Anyone else out there like InuYasha? I love him. But,I ADORE KOGA!!!!! I LOVE HIM SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watch the show anytime I can. It usually comes on around 9:30 pm. That reminds me of something else.
(InuYasha and Kagome are having an online conversation)
Inu: What are fonts?
Kag: You can change the size and color of your words.....why do you ask?
Inu: [/sizeHoly Crap
HAHAHAHA
