Trigun Coming to Cartoon Network

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bring-on-the-insurance-girls dept.

MoeMoe writes "Well I was just watching Cartoon Network and it looks like Trigun will begin airing in just a couple of weeks. The CN website gives a brief description here" Trigun is among my favorite anime series. It gets a little crazy by the end, but for the most part it's pretty lighthearted fun, with some great action. CN sure seems to love the Anime Sci Fi Westerns. I wonder if they'll carry some of the fluffier stuff besides Tenchi. Love Hina would be a fun choice. Or Excel Saga.

    I used to watch anime all the bloody time, read fan translated mangas, etc. etc., but I just eventually lost intrest. Perhaps seeing all these great anime shows on local television will rekindle my intrest. Hopefully the voices won't be horrible - that's one of the things that turned me off back in the day.

  2. Love Hina by RomSteady · · Score: 4, Interesting
    While it would be nice for them to show Love Hina, I doubt they ever will. Too much fan service for them to cover up without completely shredding the episodes to nothing. Even with Tenchi, they've often cut massive sections of episodes out because of their broadcast standards.

    (For those who don't know, Love Hina is considered a "harem" anime, where all of the girls at one part or another are interested in the main character, who is usually a loser. I consider it a "fan service revenge" anime, because as soon as there is fan service, someone ends up paying for it, usually the aforementioned loser main character. I still enjoy the series, however.)

    So much for downloading the rest of trigun! I can just tape it!

    Excel saga has some innuendo that cartoon network (if they had it) might filter out it, which would ruin the whole feel of the anime. I wish they'd do oh my goddess, or go with NG-Eva.

  5. Excellent by heli0 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Trigun is probably my favorite series. The show has all I look for: good characters and character development, silliness, seriousness, empathy, sympathy, apathy [all the pathies :)] and a good flowing storyline. I will admit that I thought this series was going to be nothing but
    overexagerated expressions and childish antics. I was way wrong. I watched the entire series in two nights (I watched about 17 or 18 episodes on the second night alone.) This series totally engrossed my attention. (The dub is excellent!)

    Because they still get enuf veiwers. DBZ is what? 10 years old? And despite that it can take them a year to get in maybe 30 new eps, they still pull in plenty of veiwers.

    Plus, Trigun is new to me. And I'm sure it's new to lots of people.
