Yeah, this is an excellent pickup for AU. The rest of the block...eh... but RahXephon makes up for it.

If they cut out half those freakin commercials, and play them with some decent audio for a change, it would be great although I've already seen RahXephon. Excelent show, though I don't think I'll be tuning it for it.

It seems they pulled the name for their new block out of the usual place however. Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

I saw Adam Sessler looking for a name for the block in a trash can the other day. Laughing

Seriously, Barbed Wire Biscuit? That sounds like a name for a porno block. Once again, G4 shows their complete idiocy with anime.

I dont have cable or satellite or anything right now but I go to my grandparent's house a lot of times and they have no idea how to work their DVR so I've crammed it full of anime and other shows.

I recorded the preview of BWB and watched the part from RaXephon and it seems to be a pretty good show. I've heard good things but have never bothered to look into it but I think it should be pretty good. I didn't get a chance to watch anything on Colorful! or whatever though but I'll check it out later.

I dont know what to think of the other shows on the block. That Happy Tree Friends & Friends seems to be a rip off from Retarded Animal Babys, a flash cartoon. I didn't even bother watching Brainman or whatever it was.

Probably since they can't get Eva??? Razz

I like RahXephon myself. I like to call it the poor-man's Eva. Good story and characters, but not as complex or mind destroying as EVA. Although, I seem to be one of the few who likes ep 25 & 26. Especially when used with EoE. Without EoE, it would be much harder to get any understanding.

Sounds like an intense cooking block, and I'd expect Gordon Ramsay to be involved.

I'm diggin G4's poor man Adult Swim here. I look forward to seeing Cinimatech evolve more. Happy Tree friends can be funny if you let them.

Rahxepon is quite good. Less people have seen it than Evangelion (which is showing on CN), so perhaps that might give G4 an edge when catering to the anime watchers. And G4 needs it when the hosts of X-play keep pissing off FullMetal Alchemist fans.

But still, Barbed Wire biscuit is a stupid name.

I agree with you D, I like the TV ending better than the EoE ending.

Atleast they layed off the Dragonball Z fans for a bit. Razz Need the less, I was surpised when they started show Happy Tree Friends on AOTS, so I can wait for the show. The preview of Colorful, was ... eye opening, to say the less, the it's nice they left ... some stuff in. Need the less, I can't wait for the their new block.

To be real honest.....I'm looking very forward to Colorful..Heh..but I guess I'm just a stupid peverted idiot...plus...I just like panty shots.....

Oh Happy Tree Friends is great..odd,and gross..but great..

then this Braniac.. reminds me of jackass meets billnye meets unscrewed.. so.. yeah...

it seem like alot of people are having mixed feelings about BWB..but I think G4 has a hit block on there hands

Anime Unleashed AND Happy Tree Friends? Count me in. This is the first time in a while G4's made a sensible programming choice.
