yes so many horrible adaptations, all one of them (or two if you didn't care for speedracer) were soooo horrible 
Really people, get over yourselves, hollywood has barely done anything with live action anime films. With the way you all cry about it, the comic book fans would be water logged if they acted the same. |

Yay
 It really ticked me off when they stopped showing it right when I was getting into into.

I thought that AS would take the chance to drop Moribito and we'd never see it again. This is very good since so many want to see what will happen. I've had the DVDs in my Netflix queue for awhile now, but they are still listed as "unknown" so I wasn't sure when, or if, I'd get to see the rest.

Feels like a trap to me. I followed Moribito not once, but twice, on Adult Swim. First they stuck it in an obscenely late timeslot. Then they restarted it all over again at a more convenient one. Then they dropped it. Now I'm supposed to follow it all over again? It's CN's airing of Mobile Suit Gundam all over again. If they drop it again, for any reason, that's it with me and Adult Swim or CN. They're sadists.
As for a live-action Evangelion, I doubt it'll ever get done. If it does, though, here's a near perfect Pen Pen. Last edited by penguintruth on Sat May 09, 2009 5:26 pm; edited 1 time in total |

The live-action Eva movie has clearly been a passion project for Matt Greenfield and the other guys of ADV, and I think it's somewhat admirable that they're still pursuing it even while their studio isn't at great a status as it used to be. If it ever does happen, I'll be interestested in seeing how it turns out.
And it's a good thing Moribito's coming back, hopefully this time in its full run. I'm collecting the DVD's, but not watching them because I'd rather watch the whole story in its full run. By waiting every other month I may well forget important story elements from before. |

Alright! Moribito's coming back! That news right there made my day.
I love that show. I wonder which timeslot they'll put it in, though. Whichever one it is, I'll be watching it! |

Good news for Moribito, it's about time they did something to make it up to the fans of the show.
I'm completely indifferent to the Eva movie though, unless it turns out to be surprisingly good after everything has been said and done, which is extremely unlikely. |

I'd guess that it will take the spot of Code Geass once that show finishes. Barring any more delays, it should finish in the summer. |

Matt Greendfield: "We have news about the live action EVA movie!"
Fans: "Really? What is it?" Matt Greenfield: "It's coming out the week after Duke Nukem Forever hits stores!" Fans: ". . . ." Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for EVA live-action. I hope for those trying to follow the show on TV, the third time is the charm for Moribito but personally I'll just wait for a box set. I'm sick of being jerked around by CN and [adult swim]. Only thing I've watched on that network in many months was GI Joe Resolute. |

Judging from [AS]'s latest schedule update, which shows saturday up to july 4, we shouldn't expect Moribito to atleast what july 11 maybe? Sweet Blood+ and Moribito on the same night, score! Have they ever had two anime with a female lead role on the same night?
I wonder what they will drop to fit Moribito? |

The beef with ADV and EVA is less "oh muh gosh this will be TERRIBIBLE!" and more "you and what currency, ADV?"
It gives me the image of an athlete with a smashed leg yelling "Let me back in the game, coach! I can still play!" as they drag him off the field... poor, poor ADV. |

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It'll probably take at least one of Code Geass' slots once it finishes. Including the pair of episodes that air tonight, there are about 9 episodes left, so, yeah, they'll wait until Geass finishes, then stick Moribito in one of its slots. It's really the most logical place. Then again, this is Adult Swim we're talking about. |

I find it kinda odd that everyone is blaming Adult Swim for pulling Moribito off of the air. At the time they did this, they did not have much of a choice. Media Blasters did not have anything else ready for them past those first 10 episodes due to some licensing issues. What exactly were the the people at Adult Swim supposed to do, just keep airing those same 10 episodes over and over again? Now I'm not one to defend Adult Swim, considering some of the crap they've pulled in the past (like all those damned Futurama marathons when they found out they were losing it to Comedy Central). But really, this was Media Blasters fault more than it was Adult Swim. Really now, blaming Adult Swim for this makes about as much sense as blaming the Sci-Fi channel for Gundam 00 going on hiatus at the halfway point of its run.

Sweet. Moribito has been on my 'to watch list' for some time now, and reading the book(s) is only increasing my want to see the anime. I hope that [AS] doesn't botch this, or I'll be mad. I also hope that they don't put it on some obscene time slot. Code Geass is pushing it already.

Just a heads-up: AS has been known to change their broadcast schedule before updating the official online schedule. Been burned there before. As pleased as I am to learn that Moribito is expected to return, I'll be checking Tivo listings and the AS forum for updates over and above the AS schedule. Though I've already seen the fansubs, so I may opt out of the AS cycle of disappointment and rage and stick with collecting the DVDs. |
