Toonami Producer on Editing Process

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the worth-a-read dept.

Bonker writes "Anime News Network is featuring an interview with Jason Demarco, senior writer and producer for Cartoon Network's 'Toonami' block. Mr. Demarco explains why and how the editing process for several anime shown on Toonami, Midnight Run, and Adult Swim happen, as well as the pressure they're under to produce a product acceptable not only to fans but to parents as well. " Gives an interesting perspective on what CN goes through to get certain anime on US TV. I've said it before, but I'd still love a Toonami channel that didn't need to edit (or maybe just less). I watch more Toonami then any channel.

    That should be 'toonami' not 'tonami'!

    I know this is off-topic, but I just have to say it: I think Slashdot's new move towards advertising is a GREAT THING!

    The ads give the site a slick, "commercial" look it so desperately needed, the same way Red Hat gave Linux the slick "commercial" look that IT so desperately needed.

    I for one, applaud the wise move made by the owners of this site and other successful open-source GNU-like commercial ventures.

    After messing around with Slackware, I just about had enough! A friend of mine tried to get me into Linux. I thought it would be easy (I am a certified Sun Systems Administrator) but I spent the better part of an entire week getting it working!

    Thank goodness for Red Hat! The analogy applies to Slashdot as well. I remember Slashdot from the "good" old days, and boy, it was pretty clunky. The new version is a nice commercial representation of geek(tm)dom.

    Congrats!

    Are you kidding? There's no end of shows they could air. Anime has been going on a looooong time in Japan.

    The main thing would be to bring the titles that haven't made it to the American video market either to mix up the subject matter. Lupin, for instance, was a huge series, but only the movies and a couple of episodes have distributed commercially.
