Well, I guess it gives the chance for people to see it who haven't already from the beginning, but for those who were following it, it had better go on past 10 this time. The 1:30 AM timeslot still doesn't help it, but I guess that wasn't going to change.

I never got to see the series myself since AS kept switching it around in the schedule, but I didn't really notice that it garnered much of a fanbase...

So, I'll have to sit through the beginning episodes for the third time. I guess it's too much to ask for them to start off with the gambling episode.

Oh well, that just means that new episodes will premier later for me than for others.

I guess we will find out in ten weeks Confused

Still, it's better than 5 AM.

Kinda sucks such a good show gets the run around, but hey at least it's on TV. I will be sticking to following the DVDs.

They should add D.Gray Man. I think that Anime is in the same league as Bleach, Naruto, One Piece and Death Note. D.Gray Man is getting the Shaft...... I wonder why Adult swim is being asses about Anime when it was Anime that made the popular..

Even if they did somehow work out the deal to get another popular show, it would still give an awful timeslot like the rest of the shows. Don't the anime companies have to pay to get the shows on the air, or is it the opposite? Besides, their major argument is that a replayed rerun of a random episode of Family Guy will still get a million views, regardless, while even the best anime at its strongest will get something like half a million. Even if anime did make it big, their demographic changed considerably.

Why can't they put all the anime on the 10-midnight slot? That way I can watch them on TV. If they would just take off their non-anime from the air and their website, that might help.

But why should they do that when Family Guy gets them so much money?

I'd love to see more anime on Adult Swim as well, but removing all non-anime shows would just be stupid.

Hah. No. Confused

Anyways, I'm fairly certain they'll air the rest of it. I'm keeping a very upbeat attitude about it. Smile

D.Gray-Man started and ended poorly <_< boring filler for the first 51 episodes which are the only ones Funimation licensed..and the remaining 52 episodes only began to get good with material from the manga arc and then it stopped <_< If you don't mind another Inuyasha ending then so be it, let alone 51/103 episodes (assuming Funimation will license the remaining episodes eventually).

There are a few good choices, but Adult Swim has to pay to put the programs on TV.

I'd think that the AAA programming that does well in Japan would do well on Adult Swim. That includes Brotherhood, Eden of the East, Shippuden, One Piece and Dragonball Kai.

This is becoming very entertaining.You guys just keep taking the bait over and over expecting the results to change.It's the definition of insanity.

Keep going though,it's what we used to do.Waiting and waiting for new episodes of DBZ.It'll happen eventually with the Moribito dub.

I'll add Michiko to Hatchin as the perfect anime for AS. Someone needs to license it now! ><

Moribito! Shocked I've been wondering if Moribito would return. I had really gotten into it, but around that time was when Adult Swim took off half the anime and shoved Moribito to 5am... T.T I remembered how POed people got around that time...haha. n_n The fight scenes on here are so beautiful too. I was blown away. There's just too much down time in some of the episodes though... Anime hyper But, I'm really looking forward to seeing it again, and hopefully some new episodes will air as well! Very Happy

Bleach's ratings for Saturdays seem to get higher every week, there's still hope. Last week both Bleach episodes were on top of the Top 3 for the night. Bleach at least is doing well.

Didn't some of AS' crew go to Japan a couple months back to get more anime? Surely more is in the pipeline, since AS likes to keep 2 premieres going at once. Moribito can fill in with CG done, but what else? When's AS' Upfront?


But back on-topic, it's a shame Blood+ isn't rerunning, I really love that show. Great music and story and characters and more Crispin Freeman than you can shake a stick at.

Ditto for Moribito, it was slow paced but oddly enjoyable.
