July 21 is friday, and it's technically going to be on at midnight on saturday which of course would be late night friday, and [as] doesn't have fridays.
IGPX is racing to late night fridays not adult swim I believe.

IGPX was cool but it got boring after two episodes. The game looks fun though.

I'm really confused
When I saw it was on Saturdays in The Click, I thought it had moved to [as]. But as someone in that thread pointed out, as well as someone in this thread pointed out that it is really an extention of Friday late-nights. I didn't take the date change into account. But with this entry I am just confused. Does this mean [as] is going to have some kind of role on Fridays?

Me too.
I think the person who sent in the report got it wrong when he said Adult Swim, but I wasn't watching last night, so I don't know. Did anybody else catch it?

Adult swim isn't on Friday night(unless somethings changed)
the person who sent this news in must have got confused they are playing IGPX in late night cartoon network. Its funny usually when they do that it means that the show gets less ratings than others but I thought IGPX was pretty popular though I don't really watch it myself.

I believe they said Friday nights at 12 a.m. on the commercial, but with CN they always fu** up the time. Also, doesn't AS have a rule against promoting Adult Swim shows on CN?

It's definitely not Adult Swim, because it simply doesn't air on Friday nights. That night is solely for Cartoon Network shows. For awhile now, it was the home of repeats of Naruto--then later, Zatch Bell --with other CN shows.
But a couple of years ago, that timeslot was (unofficially) known as "the Stealth Block", an hour of unpromoted anime featuring shows that didn't do that well on Toonami. Gundam Seed and .hack// were buried there for awhile to die a slow death...

It isn't Adult Swim and if you go to the schedule on the Cartoon Network for Friday, July 21, it shows it's midnight and not on Adult Swim. In fact, there is no Adult Swim on Friday nights.
I'm really disappointed that they moved this from Toonami to Friday night's at midnight. I really don't see that is going to help it's ratings at all.

Well I did watch the two new episodes of Naruto, and there was a commercial for this saying it was moved to fridays, but it said zero about [as]. That whats so confusing, I suspect like everyone else that this is false.

Wait. Why would IGPX be shown on [adult swim]? Having to look at the overalls, IGPX doesn't look like it could fit the [adult swim] line-up just because it has words like bitch, damn, hell, ass, etc. Besides, IGPX is on the PG-level not the PG-13-level. However, Rurouni Kenshin did mangage to air on Toonami but it probably had some edits (eventhough the word "kill" was allowed on the show).

The above just proves what happens when you assume.
Anyway, this new slot perturbs me. Midnight Friday/Saturday doesn't seem like something you'd do to a highly-rated show. I don't know IGPX's ratings, of course, but it seems good and popular enough not to garner a questionable move such as this.

I'm not sure why, but they sent this show to 12am for it to die. It's the same thing they did with Gundam Seed. I still don't understand why though, I was under the impression that IGPX was getting very good ratings. I guess it wasn't good enough so they're going to pull an Adult Swim-type move and shuffle around the schedule and pretend that it does any good.
