I'm a little unsure of whether or not I'm being taken serious, but I stand by my statement. But boycotting them all together would just be giving into their beliefs. We're elitist in their eyes and elitists would protest and the like, but I'm going to keep watching to prove a point that I still enjoy the anime that is shown. I've made my point that it was rude to those who are still rather devoted to their line up. Not to mention boycotting would be pointless as chances are they don't care. And therefore neither will I. However, if such a thing is done once again, meaning PERFECT HAIR FOREVER is on in place of anime, then I probably will do everything in my power to prove that all they wish to do is mock their fans. But yeah, it's this situation that the comedy fans should realize how good they have it. Nothing happened to them and therefore, they should use that to their advantage. |

Actually, there was an obvious warning, for we internet goers. It's how I knew there'd be an obtrusive prank. See the Adult Swim Schedule. Since March 22nd, that schedule has been up. It shows near the upper left that the anime episodes that aired March 31st would repeat on April 7th. Now why would they repeat the exact same anime episodes if they were going to air the episodes completely unaltered for April Fool's? That was a dead giveaway that something would happen that would prevent the anime block from airing in its entirety. So yes, there was a warning, and a hint. A schedule that outright told you something would be happening. And if you've been a fan of [AS] for more than a few months, you know they pull something every year for April Fool's. Combine that with the anime repeats, and you knew you wouldn't be seeing the anime block intact that night. So again, there were warnings and hints. And Adult Swim obviously doesn't hate Anime. Again, why do they run anime if they hate it? Adult Swim is ran by Williams Street, the same people who do Toonami. Look at Toonami and Adult Swim and tell me with a straight face that they absolutely HATE anime. You can't. They show more anime than all other networks combined(excepting the anime networks that are only in a few households). Adult Swim does a lousy job of advertising its anime, but people are watching, so obviously they don't necessarily need to do a lot of advertising. And many of the anime they air(Eureka seveN for example) would make no sense to a fresh viewer who tuned in halfway through the series. So even if they advertised it, the freshfaces would leave immediately after not knowing what is going on in the anime. Unless you're saying it's Adult Swim's fault that anime is very continuity-heavy? And don't mistake me for a comedy fan. Aside from Family Guy and Frisky Dingo, I ignore all the AS comedy. I hate them too. I only really watch AS for the anime. But I can't stand the tired old dog barking about Adult Swim hating anime, while they're feeding that dog the very anime he thrives on. So what if newer fans aren't coming? That's okay. Frankly, I don't want those comedy fans who like Squidbillies coming into my anime and sullying the greatness of it. As for the teasing, I don't mind it. I don't need Adult Swim bumps to make me feel good about watching anime. Aside from the Weekend Ratings, I ignore the bumps. I don't see why you're taking the anti-anime bumps to be press releases from the heads of Turner Entertainment saying anime is not a viable market, which they're not. |

I just realized I have to reprogram my TiVo because it thinks this weeks bleach and eureka 7 are repeats. I wonder how many people this affects.

I have that problem with my Cox cable DVR, it thinks all the episodes of Pucca and Power Rangers Operation Overdrive are repeats when I tell it to record new first run airings of those shows. |

Power Rangers Operatio Overdrive? Wow, I'm really losing track of the newer Power Ranger series. They just don't seem as notable since JYB went into anime.

 You should hear the lousy theme song for Operation Overdrive. Sounds like a song a 5 year old would come up with. "Go Power Rangers, GO! GO! Power Rangers Operatio - n Ove -rdrive." That's basically all there is to the song.

Yeah I defintly agree on this. Though its a bit late coming grow up. if adult Swim sucks that bad then watch something esle. And as to whoever it was saying tv ruins their night please. if nothing is on tv I simply turn it off and play a game or get on the internet. No bigge. it's not the end of your life. anime fans sometimes sheesh.
