Looks like the big Toonami production is a bust. IGPX moves to Fridays at midnight on CN beginning in 2 weeks, replacing Zatch Bell and preceding Dragon Ball GT. A second episode of One Piece will take its slot on Toonami. Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo will move to 10:30.

i wonder if this has to do with content. some of it isn't exactly Toonami friendly, but it's not really an Adult Swim show either.

Premiering a show midnight on a Friday as well. I mean seriously what are they thinking. Confused

It must be content related.

Was it really? I've never saw the ratings numbers.

It's possible, even the language has been a little less Toonami-friendly, but it was on at 10:30 which is within Adult Swim every other day of the week.

Too bad, was going to be a good episode tonight.

yeah but they never implied that it was anything other than a toonami show... which makes parents question what kinda content they're showing kids.

This is quite a shocker. Considering it earns very good ratings (thanks to both the great storyline and the voice talents of Hailey Joel Osmondt & Michelle Rodriguez) this is quite the moronic move for the station to make. But as the point was made I have noticed that more and more "innappropriate" material has been showing up ever so often. However it is literally before "adult swim"; so I had no problem with its time slot.

I wonder if this'll damage the chance of another season.

I know. I noticed that, too. IGPX is no longer showing on Toonami. Sad

(Now I have to bring this up) As Darth Vader would say: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

But we can still catch it on CN, right. Smile

Does anyone know the ratings for this show? It looks like IGPX is suffering the same fate as Gundam SEED. GS was a ratings bust and they moved it late night Fridays.

Stunned. The ratings, the buildup, the music ... why the hatchet job?
