2:45 AM - Robot Chicken

I'm REALLY hoping they're wrong here.

 

[Space Cadet]

I know I'm completely wrong, but I would laugh it was Ranma 1/2. For years, this was one of the more requested shows to air and AS has repeatedly said no. For one night, it airs and it'll never air again.

 

[Daikun]

Those schedules are wrong.

Funny thing I have seen the Japanese version, I am not that familar with the dub. I have heard not very possitive things about the dub.

I have an idea, an April fools joke stunt, how about for one night there air all of the normal anime series in the original Japanese version. Who wouldn't want that?

 

[Sketch]

So now the schedule on Adult Swim's website shows a Special at 2:30, Clone Wars at 2:45, Big O at 3:15 and Special again at 3:45

 

[The Man in Black]

I can't help but wonder if the encore is for anyone who doesn't watch the first airing and decides they really need to watch the encore because of what it is. Or something.

 

[Space Cadet]

Anyone else see the EVA 2.22 promo? I thought it was pretty good. I'm also glad that they were able to make a promo a week in advance.

 

[macattack]

Oh yeah. The promo was awesome. Better than the promo for movie one.

The promo for movie 3 will have a lot on its plate to top 2.22's promo.

 

[The Man in Black]

I honestly still kinda feel like the 1.11 promo had a more epic feel but maybe that's just me.

 

[Lord Dalek]

Considering how mind-numbingly abominable 3.33 is, it'll take the snazziest promo ever to polish that turd.

 

[Light Lucario]

I thought that promo for 2.22 was pretty good too. I don't know if I prefer it over the promo for the first movie, but it was nice to see that they were able to make a promo for it in advanced this time. Hopefully, that will help in giving the movie stronger ratings.

 

[Daikun]

How are people determining which movie promo is better or worse? They're both pretty much the same. Same format, same text... It's not much different.

 

[EroSennin]

I wonder if that Special will be a Q&A with Tom with the questions from the reddit AMA

 

[WickedChild]

Considering how mind-numbingly abominable 3.33 is, it'll take the snazziest promo ever to polish that turd.

Uhhhh no. Just no.

I won't let you do to Eva 3 what you did to SAO.

 

[The Master C]

He's right. The only main differences are the color and the absences of the Toonami and Adult Swim logos, like the first one had.

I wonder what they had to cut out for it to be TV-PG-LSV...

 

[Light Lucario]

Uhhhh no. Just no.

I won't let you do to Eva 3 what you did to SAO.

I can't really speak on Eva 3's quality, but I don't think that Dalek's comments on Sword Art Online is the reason why most of the people here don't like the series. Even if he didn't say anything about the series, I seriously doubt that the general attitude towards the series would be any different. My thoughts on Sword Art Online's quality wouldn't be any different at least.

 

[The Man in Black]

I personally think the forum outcry here over SAO is pretty darn ridiculous. It's not that bad of a show.

 

[Kuromi_Star]

Mari won't have any lines.

 

[Light Lucario]

I personally think the forum outcry here over SAO is pretty darn ridiculous. It's not that bad of a show.

It's not that good either in my opinion. It still hasn't reached GXP level of unwatchable terribleness for me at this point, but I don't think that says much. The criticisms about the series' flaws seem pretty justified to me so far.
