Yet another crappy ADV title has been licensed. Colorful will begin on G4 starting 8/13/05. Just a heads up.

On Cartoon Network and the TechTV of days gone by, yeah. But not G4. You take TechTV's extra commercial breaks, throw in some audio alteration, occasional breaking of aspect ratio, and infrequent scheduling among other things, and you've got problems.

Is it just be or are they showing Anime Unleashed a lot less, even at late hours?

And why oh why did G$ have to buy out TechTV...I miss seeing Lain on late-night! Sad Oh well...

Usually their AU titles relate to gaming or technology in some fashion. From the preview I saw Colorful just looks like a pointless panty shot title. Confused

And it pretty much is. I can't believe they are going to put Colorful on the air. The Colorful flick I saw was total randomness, over the top humor and all. I laughed out loud a few times, but maybe my since of humor isn't the most wholesome at all time Confused

PS: The back of the DVD case read:
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
This show is about panties"

....I think you get the picture

lol wow they went there. They actually went there Razz

Anyway, they say "any press is good press". If it gets the more mainstream techie culture into fanservice, even if through this...

well, I don't know if it would be a good thing.

Not like they are showing anything much better on AU lately...I haven't seen much ROD the TV lately, and I only wish they'd start showing Lain/CotS/BoTS again...

Someone on another messageboard explained this strangeness to me rather well, I think. G4 advertises itself as a network FOR gamers, not ABOUT gaming. Therefore, they have a vague umbrella for shows that really have zilch to do with gaming, like that horrible Whip Set block.

So apparently, gamers like panties.

Ugh...If they are going to show fanservice couldn't they at least show good fanservice? Something with a plot along with those panty-shots?

Ugh... They'd be better off show reruns of Banner of the Stars and Lain... I'll watch it but it's not going to be pretty, I expect this one to sit in my tivo for a while.
