please tell me they're not turning into G4, showing half finished lincenses. i could understand this with long series like Inuyasha and Fullmetal Alchemist, but not with 26 episode series.
i hope this doesn't become a frequent practice. Last edited by v1cious on Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:17 pm; edited 1 time in total |

yeah. from what i'm hearing now, geneon won't let them show past the dvds, so i guess it's not really their fault.

Yeah, it's apparently this "great" new business practice of Geneon's to license out series thirteen episodes at a time or so. Hence the reason we'll be seeing all of Paranoia Agent in a single run, but Samurai Champloo will be cut in half and the second part aired several months later.

Where did you hear this? I thought it was because AS wants to give those who haven't seen Champloo a chance to catch up. If this stuff about Geneon is true, that's stupid... or is it? |

I seem to remember hearing about it back when people were all up in arms over TechTV (and soon after, G4) breaking up all of their Geneon-released shows into halves, starting with Last EXILE, and then Gungrave, R.O.D.: THE TV, etc. |

GadGuard is another.
How far finished is Tehxnolyze? Encore Action has acquired that. |

TEXHNOLYZE is all done
As for this... damn, oh well, I was gonna get the rest of the DVDs anyway, but this is kind of a disappointment 
I kinda wanna see the thing sometimes before the DVD comes out, so the wait won't feel longer you know |

That's what the schedule says and if you didn't notice it ended on the 12th episode. Nice way to end a season on a recap episode, surely makes me exicted to see more.

Episode 1 was on Tonight, I thought they would at least show until Ep.13.
Oh well,... |

If I recall, didn't the same thing happen a few years back when Cowboy Bebop or Outlaw Star was first starting up. I know that it always made me kind of angry but then I was happy to be able to see any episodes I may have missed before the series gets into the final neck.
I know that they did this with Dragonball Z when CN starting airing it but that's a very long series so it's understandable. |

dont forget BIG O had the same thing done to it the first season was shown and it ended in a cliffhanger and season 2 was aired a couple months later. in a way i think its smart by geneon because now i will be buying the dvds for sure i bought the first two when they came out and when champloo began to air on TV i stopped because well i was gonna see it anyway on adult swim. i hope they restart showing paranoia agent because I've missed episodes 6 until now i had a family reunion and forgot to set my vcr before i left. anyway you guys call them jerks for doing this to you i call them marketing genious. i was gonna buy the next volumes of champloo anyway i mean i do have the first two but now i will sooner and i didn't see episodes 8-12 anyway so i guess ill get them now.

Big O was only 13 episodes. the second season was made for exclusively adult swim. |

Not entirely. The overall popularity of the series allowed CN to channel funds into Sunrise and co-produce it, but it still aired/was dubbed in Japan first. Then it went on to AS after Big O reruns. |
