Given the utterly awful and completely unrepresentative promos they aired for it, combined with their usage of the extremely poor-quality transfers in spite of great remasters existing, I'd be utterly stunned if its abysmal performance came as any real surprise. Either ADV really squeezed them...

Yeah, it was cool hearing it again for this. Now we just need this track to make a comeback :P

Cowboy Bebop is about as likely to disappear from Adult Swim's schedule for any significant length of time as Aqua Teen Hunger Force is. It's the archetypal Adult Swim action series, and they know it.

Given the near-complete lack of on-air promotion other than a few ads on Saturday night, I'd be (pleasantly) pretty surprised if Toonami's ratings looked like that, macattack.

Weird, no Bebop end credits or preview?

Excuse me? It's senseless to run marathons of the same show every night, week after week, no matter what show it is.

I really feel that putting One Piece, DBZ, or anything Naruto-related on AS would be a huge misstep: they're unabashedly kids' shows and have been known as such for ages. They absolutely might have a place on Cartoon Network, but it would be hugely self-defeating to put them on a block that...

Its centerpiece is yet another hour and a half of the same played-out shows that inexplicably occupy the entire first three hours of every other night's schedule?

Home Movies is back, and even in its old place at the start of the block? That's fantastic news! If they play their cards right with a few more changes to the 9:00-12:00 comedy lineup, AS Saturday could one day become completely watchable. As it is, I'll take what I can get.

Nonono, this is the talkback thread for PR: FUNimation Shows to Appear on Adult Swim’s Toonami Block. I don't know what this thread is.

I think I'm in the minority on this subject, but I'm actually really glad that the new incarnation of Adult Swim's action block as Toonami is a single three-hour block airing once a week with distinct branding and packaging from the rest of AS. As Adult Swim's schedule has expanded further from...

Outlaw Star didn't have a less-edited version for airing. If it did, that version would surely have appeared on Adult Swim in 2002 rather than the Y7-edited Toonami version. I remember Rising Sun airing from 2am to 3am on early Sunday mornings in 2002, immediately following Adult Swim Action...

While all this stuff about expiring licenses is possible I suppose, I think we're overlooking the more obvious reason for Kekkaishi's exclusion from the new schedule: it absolutely sucks. Kekkaishi is the most generic, anime-cliche-ridden piece of garbage I think they've probably ever picked up...

The Boondocks is straightforwardly a comedy cartoon. Toonami is intended to be an action block, primarily. I mean, that definition has been bent a bit before for shows on both Toonami and Adult Swim Action, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to expect them to put on a standard comedy just...

I don't think it really makes much sense to reappropriate already-existing Toonami music videos for different shows. There's plenty of great, stylistically-appropriate music for them to do videos with, and they can even keep around the old videos to air occasionally.

I wouldn't get your hopes up to ever see DBZ, One Piece, or Naruto on AS in any serious context. They may be misguided, but I doubt they're that misguided.

I don't know. The bland packaging was disappointing in and of itself (there's not even bumpers telling you what shows are on next? wtf? are they that embarrassed to announce the garbage they're airing these days?) but Toonami bumpers aren't nearly enough to make ASA remotely worth watching...

This Saturday night, a friend and I sat through the first two hours of Adult Swim's current anime block (12 to 2am, i.e. everything before the super-late reruns of older shows start) and we were just astounded at how unwatchably bad it had become. The overarching theme between Bleach, FMA...

I'd like to see more action on Adult Swim, but I've got to agree with some of the replies here like Karl Olson's that there really doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options when it comes to anime series that fit really well on AS, like Bebop and FLCL do. I find all the "Adult Swim is totally...

I had forgotten about this when I posted in here the other night, but did anyone else notice the ads for the "Ronnie" something-or-other country music compilation? At first I couldn't tell whether or not they were part of the joke, because of the general quality of the ad and the fact that...

I can't decide whether it's climactic or the exact opposite for me to finally reach 2000 posts here about four years after I stop visiting the site regularly. Oh well! And with that I'm going to bed for real.

Indeed, kids at home should note that Karl actually had to try this six or seven times before it worked for him. Toonzone.net, sl4, and Karl Olson collectively do not assume any responsibility for any individuals who attempt to test this theory. Blow (brains, etc.) at your own risk. edit: why...

(Johnny obviously covered in blood) JOHNNY WAKE UP!!! He's dead! Folks, I think Johnny might just be dead.

Fine, just ignore my sudden and unexpected presence and go on posting your little quotes, I'm going to sleep...cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep :(

There were so many bizarre exchanges in this. Did anyone else get the impression that Johnny is Mark's best friend? I felt like it could have been stated a bit more explicitly. I also loved how the entire plot point with Denny and the drug dealer was completely forgotten about for the remainder...

Adult Swim's show choices in general just haven't appealed to me much at all for the past few years. Every so often, like tonight, I try watching a bit of it to see what they're airing nowadays but virtually none of it is appealing to me anymore at all. Code Geass seemed very....well, it felt...

It's obvious that they're riding on Family Guy's success, but they survived without it for two and a half years and they could survive without it again, even if it meant downsizing their schedule.

oh jaggie...
