i don't know if any of you heard this but there's a rumor going around that cartoon network is looking into getting vandread for adult swim in the future but nothing has been confirmed that what do you think

Finally, a rumour that's not only pleasing to the ear, but remotely possible, too (Hellsing second season advocates, you heard me).
Hope it happens, especially since I have yet to see Vandread in the first place, and it would be one less series to have to rent right away.

Vandread is definately worthy of my praise. Especially some of the more serious darker stories. Lets hope something is made out of that rumor.

I really, really hope that Vandread is never shown on Cartoon Network. With the restrictions that are placed upon them by broadcasting authorities (the isc here in the UK, not sure what it is in the US) some of the shows better aspects would surely be edited out. I'm sure a late spot on Adult Swim would be much more appropriate.

Well, I'm sure there's a few things here and there that would need to be edited out (like the girls cooking in their underwear), but otherwise I don't think there's much about the show that would need to be taken out, certainly not enough to effect the story. Just about anything that would be questionable has passed by on other Adult Swim shows. This could happen, but it's still a rumor.

According to the card announcing a tentative 2004 schedule, there were no anime listed for the fall. If everything goes according to that schedule, Wolf's Rain will show up shortly after Witch Hunter Robin finishes, and GitS: Stand Alone Complex shortly after Wolf's Rain.
And AS also has 52 new episodes of Inuyasha. They could plan to show 26 in the spring and another 26 in the fall. It could be possible they're still in negotiations with Pioneer (if the rumor proves true) and don't want anyone to snatch it up a la Escaflowne and Slayers. |

I really hope it does not get picked up. The show would be heavile edited unless on adult swim. The whole cloning issue and the fact that men make babies with men and women make babies with women and stuff would just not go well with far to many people. Vandread should just stay on dvd it's awesome and I suggest renting it and seeing it subbed rather then watching the edited dub that they would show.

According to the December 2003 issue of Newtype, Vandread was supposed to air late Friday/early Saturday on the Animidnight block on The Action Channel. That didn't happen, so apparently The Action Channel has the TV rights.

The action channel you say? Wow, so how many channels are showing anime nowadays? Tech TV, Cartoon network... Oh my. I have to go back and watch Season 1 but I think there were some inappropriate edit worthy things that younger kids shouldnt see in this series (details-details). I do hate the snip-snip, but these impressionable minds must be tended to. Adult swim some say? Well perhaps...

If CN is shopping for Vandread, any one under their employ with even a smidgen of common sense would know better than to put it on Toonami, it would just be a really stupid move. They would deffinately be targeting it for Adult Swim.
That being said, I don't think that much of the show would need editing. I mean, look at the stuff they get away with on Aqua Teen, Harvy Birdman, Brak and Space Ghost. Some of that content is entirely more quistionable than the majority of Vandread's content. Syker Seven |

I'm still wondering where these people with common sense were when they stuck Kenshin on Toonami. Though...I guess they could have learned from that glaring mistake... Anyway, bitterness aside, I agree that they'd likely be smart enough to put it on Adult Swim. Aside from the aforementioned screw-up, they've had a very good track record as far as properly placing their anime programming. |

I guess they thought Kenshin would do well on Toonami because (don't get mad at me for this) its basically a young adult show. America's standards really skew everything. Inuyasha airs on Toonami (UNCUT, I think) in other countries, but here its to "mature" for young kids. And I doubt that they could make it "child appropriate" and still make sense.

Why would I get mad at the truth? Anyway, one of the things that pisses me off about it is the apparent lack of thought that went into the decision to air it on Toonami in the first place. Yes, it's a show aimed at a similar demographic to Toonami*, BUT so were Inu-Yasha and Trigun, which interestingly enough made it onto Adult Swim for content that could arguably be considered less offensive than that of Kenshin. I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the Kyoto Arc (a good one-third of the series), the Oniwabanshuu Arc (dealing heavily in drug & arms smuggling), and the Christian Arc (given Toonami's strict stance on religion, this should be a goven) aren't going to fly as American children's television, and it seems to me that if the program directors over there had put just a little bit of consideration into these things, they could have saved themselves a lot of grief from die-hard fans, as well as time & money in snipping it out (snipping so much out, as a matter of fact, that parts of the series make no sense in the CN incarnation).
But, this is throwing the whole thread off-topic, so let me try to steer it back that way by saying that I have faith that they'd put Vandread in the best possible location. Again, though they royally screwed up with Kenshin, they've done more good than bad with their anime, and have probably taken said Kenshin incident as a learning experience, to boot. *Well, similar demographic to the Toonami of years gone by anyway...I swear that whole programming block aims younger & younger every season...Gundam Force my ass...but that's another issue.

Yeah, they did drop the ball with Kenshin. But, like you said, that's one mistake, and they are usually pretty good about program placement.
You'd have to be missing a signifigant amount of your frontal lobe to try and put Vandread on Toonami. |
