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.

    i have wanted to see trigun for some time now...so i guess its a good thing that cartnoon network is picking it up...but will it be edited for content or not is the real question

    they butchered the tenchi muyo series with their editing...so will they be editing these series??

    I hope not. They are gonna be on adult swim, which is geared for an older audience...but you never know

    Was anyone else disappointed when they found out that "Adult Swim" on cartoon network is not some sort of nudie jap-animation cartoon?

    Does this mean that Anime is becoming a nerd preoccupation? I mean, I'm nerdy, and I watch anime, but that's just me. Probably not for the rest of the nerds out there. Or was there a policy change in /. a lot of people didn't know about?

  4. what movies? by WPIDalamar · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    This is slightly off-topic, but if I were to buy anime movies for an anime fan (that doesn't really have a lot) ... what should I get him? What are the must-haves?

  5. I assume.. by xchino · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    these shows will be on the saturday block of adult swim. I always get confused about these articles because they never specify. Don't you people watch great programming like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, or Space Ghost? If you're going to do articles about new adult swim shows, you should cover the saturday and sunday showings.

    This is the worst kind of discrimination.. the kind against me.

    While adding more series to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block is nice, unfortunately CN still has a bad habit of editing Japanese anime series various reasons. =(

    Maybe it's the constant ocurrance to tentacle ass-fucking and monster-produced cumshots that lead to this editing you speak of.

    Seriously guys, did it ever occur to you that watching cartoons that resemble 15 year old school girls being raped by various cartoon demons isn't exactly family television? With all the weird child-porn laws here in the US I'm not sure how they get away with what is obviosly underage girls. Wasn't there something recently in the news about even computer rendered images are now falling into child porn category?
