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.

Re:Why 'adult' ?

Lupin is mild compared to Japanese tentacle porn, but there's high levels of violence, and a fair amount of sexual content and nudity -- well beyond TOON's standards and practices, where the word "kill" is forbidden on translated shows (it creeps in on some WB superhero stuff without getting edited). What's steaming me, though, is that once again, TOON will not complete a run of Mobile Suit Gundam. Sure it's old an cheesy, but it's classic old and cheesy. They stopped the first run of it after Sept 11, on the excuse that it was a bad time for a cartoon about war. Now, they're going to cut it off about midway (it's tough for a 50-ep anime to run once a week without reruns). I'm catching a few I missed the first time 'round, but I still want to see the newtypes battle.
