Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime

Posted by Hemos on Tuesday October 29, 2002 @11:03AM from the changing-the-line-up dept.

E. Megas writes "According to a Collegiate Presswire story, Cartoon Network (Probably due to its recent acquisition of Futurama) is expanding its Adult Swim schedule to Monday through Thursday starting January 12th. The "Comedy" block on Sundays will stay, but except for Inu-Yasha and Cowboy Bebop (Which will replace the Toonami Midnight Run block on the weekday slots) the Saturday "Action" block will be gone. This means that the legendary series Mobile Suit Gundam will not be aired in full for the second time in a row on CN. Future airings of Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Outlaw Star-And the planned re-airing of Gundam 0080: War In the Pocket-Are thrown into doubt by this decision as well. More schedule details in the article. (Anyone else as frustrated by this as I am?)"

Anime was never given a proper chance in the mainstream. All the shit on CN was edited homogenized tasteless mush compared to the edgy teen/adult programming that anime can be. I also think their selection of anime sucked for the most part. There is more to anime than just action or fighting, or kids shows.

I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.

Maybe you and all the other losers on /. could learn Japanese and translate. It would be a great way to spend your evenings. As for me, I've got a life.
Have a nice day,
