Adult Swim Gets Three More Anime Series
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.
Ummm, one: Plank is a "character" from Ed, Edd, and Eddy, the imaginary playmate of one of the weird neighborhood kids.
Two: Ed, Edd, and Eddy are not part of Toonami (which seems to oddly enough focus more on non anime, other than Dragonball/Z, shows that have nothing to do with the original subject matter of Toonami). http://ccf.toonzone.net/ed-plank.gif
Three: The character you're thinking of is "Little Wooden Boy", a temporary replacement sidekick for Arthur after he and Tick break up after a spat: http://home.earthlink.net/~auspice/LWBCard.jpg
Just because you can mod me down, doesn't mean you're right. Shoes for industry!
Trigun is one of my favorite Anime shows, ever. So the end is a little anticlimatic, okay. But the build-up is awesome, the characters are great, and it has a wonderful mix between action, serious drama, and comedy/slapstick. Everybody should check this show out. But do not stop watching, the first few episodes are really pretty silly (in a good way in my eyes), the story unfolds later.
