Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime

Posted by Hemos on 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?)"

      I was until I realised "Adult swim" mixed with "Anime" wasn't really what I thought it was...

  3. Why they would change... by MosesJones · · Score: 3, Funny


    Because they didn't get the viewers. This means they think there are more people who will watch the new stuff.... and bugger all who would watch the old stuff.

    If you want to see it all, go out and buy it...

    So, is the unedited fight between Goku and Freiza 6 seasons long?

    • [...] but their overediting and bad dub jobs are notorious among hardcore fans.
    The use of "hardcore" in that sentence is redundant. It's like saying "smart geek" or "annoying teenybopper", yah know?
