Seems the fine folks at Toonami are not fans of D.I.C.E. in the end, and have sent it to Saturday mornings at 6 AM. Rave Master returns to Toonami at 7:30 PM beginning April 9th with new episodes. The 6:30 showings on Miguzi will be replaced with Teen Titans, leaving Miguzi anime-less once again.

I don't think D.I.C.E. has been edited...at all. It was produced for the US audiance. It just came that way.

I could have told you it was going to fail just by reading the description of the show when CN first announced it was coming to the lineup.

Depends which Transformers you're refering to (Armada, yes. Energon, yes. G1 isn't Anime)

Yeah, that show was clearly DOA. It's what you get when some US producer goes "Those kids like the ani-mays these days, right? Let's make one." "About what?" "Whatever, just put some robots or something we can make toys of in it."

They should stick to two things, accurately translating actual anime to the US, or adapting existing and successful comicbook titles into cartoons (like Teen Titans). There are plenty of titles untapped.

Yeah but that was based off an existing US franchise. We're talking about new original anime franchises created specifically for the US audience.

Any company that thinks they can produce an anime for the american audience should be forced to watch Sin over and over until they change their minds.
