Adult Swim Gets Three More Anime Series

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bring-on-the-trigun dept.

E-Rock-23 writes "Toon Zone ran a story earlier this month with regards to three Anime series Cartoon Network acquired for it's Adult Swim block. Reign, Lupin III, and Trigun are slated to join the already impressive Anime line-up next year. Lupin is slated to start airing on January 13, and the others are TBA." Trigun is a great match fo Toonami- everyone should check it out. And I've been wanting to see the Lupin III TV series for years, so that ought to be great fun as well.

    WTF? Can I offer you a friendly bit of advice? There is more to life than watching 'toons in your jammies. Unless you're all of 10 years old, GROW YOUR FUCKING ASS UP!

    Christ, some people need to get a life.

  2. Is this wierd? by NineNine · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Doesn't anybody think that most anime is very fucking wierd? Wierd like, "this is what a 10 year old Japanese girl, or a grown man who'd like to fuck them illegally would like" wierd? Between this article and the one about Nintendo yesterday, I'm starting to get really creeped out by this place. Lots of grown adults enthralled with things meant for little Japanese girls and the men who love them. ugh.

  3. Absolutely not! by JThaddeus · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Who cares about Anime anyway? I outgrew that when I outgrew Gigantor. For adult cartoons, what about bringing back Rocky and Bullwinkle? Then my former Bulgarian-born coworker might finally understand why I laugh when she repeats (at my request) "Moose and squirrel".

    You're right on, sir. And I'm more than disturbed that Taco feels the need to provide adspace for his fetishes here.

    Could it have anything to do with the fact that 99% of anime is made for pedophiles? That's not the kind of image you want to project to parents who let their kids watch the non-"Adult Swim" (aka XXX-rated) programming on Cartoon Network. Just as the Catholic Church has been pummeled by the child molestation accusations, so would Cartoon Network be assaulted with pedophilia accusations. I can imagine you sick fuckers now going "oooh I just love little 12 year old Japanese girls in their short skimpy sailor outfits.. take it off".
