Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime

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?)"

    Gundam Wing is gay anyway. It is just about watching faggots dance around. All of the fans of the series are psychopaths. Good riddance.

    Maybe because Anime generally encourages pedophilia. It's a gateway genre which turns people to more hardcore stuff like Hentai and Gadjin (sp?).

    Just my $.02

      You're a fucking idiot. I know more than my fair share of hard core anime lovers, and the all consider Hentai to be some incredibly stupid shit. You're either a troll or brain dead, 2 options I'd rather not have to choose from. And for those that do like Hentai, how does that translate into pedophilia? That's like saying everyone that watched Melrose Place turned into a pedophile because then they got into harder shit like pornos, it doesn't make sense fucking 1.

      I honestly cannot believe someone out there as stupid as you is wasting perfectly good air.

    Anime sucks, only wannabe asians watch it. I want to be able to turn on cartoon network and laugh, not spend 10 weeks following a badly translated series on some asian space alien. america rules.

    I find it funny how somebody can write the words "Not a Troll" in their subject, and then they can proceed to troll, and it automatically excuses their comment from being moderated as a troll (as I speak, the score is 2, with no comment afterwards). It's like saying, "I am not a thief", and then going out and robbing a bank.

    Of course, I should be moderated troll, offtopic, or flaimbait for posting this remark. However, if the above rule holds true, I should be safe ;).

  11. Very true... by SexyKellyOsbourne · · Score: 1, Troll

    Those people truly are sick and sad, much like you describe.

    Many anime fans that I've personally watch degenerate, unemployed and living off their parents well into their twenties after dropping out of high school, do forgo basic things such as bathing, and due to lack of exercise are in poor physical shape and therefore completely unprepared to take the stress of even a simple job. All they do is accumulate tens of gigabytes of anime, much of it depraved and decadent, and even collecting Hentai, as they withdraw from all friends and family and listen to Tori Amos.

    They're not always schizophrenics, and many should seek professional help, though a swift kick in the rear never hurts, either.

    The only girls who like anime only like to watch it when they get stoned or drop acid, as with the other section of the less obsessive men.

    Looks like you cock polishers will have to go elsewhere for your pumpkin-headed blue haired screamers with dinner plate eyes. I might suggest "furry porn". Its about as disturbing as Anime (you'll want to have sex with cartoon animals) and you'll have everything from Looney Toons to college football mascots to whack off to.

    Suck it, losers!

    Cheers,
