well anime dont pull an abundance of watcher; during these hard-times they've got to cover there bases by giving what the majority of what people watch. i dont think adultswim wonts too but its probable the only viable option they have.

I HOPE HOPE HOPE they aren't showing what they think people watch... or rather I hope people don't actually watch that junk, I mean, C'MON! Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job? I've never seen a bigger pile of steaming crap

Cartoon Network is just a bunch of shit now anyway...

It used to have such good shows....like Ed, Edd, & Eddy, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Lab, Megas XLR, and Sheep in the Big City....

What happened!?

Yes, Adult Swim, please put up more crap like Squidbillies and other repeats of shit on your lineup in another blatant attempt of be "edgy and different".

The good news: Naruto put on hiatus

It's pretty obvious that Adult Swim is getting worse and worse with every new "show" they make. Anime was the only reason I bothered to watch but their crappy hours and constant line-up changes have just turned me off completely. Way to keep viewers, Adult Swim!

Isn't part of the problem that no one is watching Serei no Moribito?

Regardless, it seems that anime on English-speaking TV has become one of the unfortunate casualties of the recession that anime outside of Japan is experiencing.

Alot of people think they may be taking Code Geass R2 off the air because Bandai has fallen behind on the dub but I'm not sure if that is true because that happened before and they said that was the reason and when the show would be back so I think it might have something to do with ratings.

That said I am sick of the way Adult Swim treats their anime fans. They have made it quite clear countless times through promo's and whatnot that they don't like us and yet they continue to get anime for their line up. makes no sense to me.

@Heero Yuy: I loved Megas XLR, Jamie and Coop were just so awesome to me.

@Reibooi: Thats what I'm hoping for. It happened with Bleach so I don't see why it wouldn't happen again. But, it could just be Adult Swim's sucky support of anime.

Also, I wish they weren't showing re-runs, but instead showing 2 Episodes of Bleach a night. At least then there would be more to watch. I'm not to worried about Naruto though.

I actually really like [adult swim]. Granted they don't treat their anime watchers very nicely, but that's because anime brings the utmost of shit ratings (thanks to the people who think dubs are beneath them). The fact of the matter is, SciFi and [adult swim] are the ONLY channels on basic cable that show anime, and decent anime at that (although I don't think SciFi cares very much seeing as their only notable series were Gurren Lagann and Noein and it's not even available on their website)

Yes, Tim & Eric Awesome Show is really, really weird, but these guys have some serious balls to do what they do (and I wonder why they've had headliners like Michael Cera, John C. Reilly, and Jeff Goldblum.) Their live shows frequently sell-out and all I want to do is sit on you.

And have any of you tried to watch Super Jail? That show is amazing! Even if you don't like the gratuitous violence and gore, the animation style and creativity is astounding.

And I'm grateful Naruto stopped. I stopped watching it after I saw the third pinky promise.

Well, at least Naruto won't be airing for awhile, but man, Code Geass R2? What a crappy place to have it on hiatus (last episode was ep. 15).....& I'm waiting until Bleach gets done with those Bounts/Bounds/whatever they're called.

Congratulations [as], I can now reduce my viewing of your network by...um...100%!

@Nettle

Sci Fi has Gundam 00 that was pretty notable.

@Reibooi: Oh yah, I forgot about that one.

Yet again CN screws over it's viewers. I cannot for the life of me figure out these morons and how/why they do lineups like they do.

You would think they would at least finish a series before killing it off or at least offer the eps on thier website if the show is not to be shown on TV again.

Like others have stated, Naruto went to hell after the Naruto/Sasuke fight. It's been ALL downhill since then. Same with Bleach altho I still watch it. The Bount storyline is crap/filler and was just a holdout until the Arrancar storyline got going in the manga. I watched afew of those eps online ( subbed bleah ) and they were awesome, nothing boring like these Bount ones. At least they havent killed that series.......... yet.

And I am way pissed about CG R2. I loved the first series and really enjoy the second. Now I have to wait once more to *MAYBE* get it finished off in another 7-9 weeks like other sites have reported? Lemme tell ya AS/CN.... God forbid you ever poll anyone about your Anime setup/programming, you'll get an earful you prolly don't want. If you even care anymore that is.....


Billy

shame on you you CN, seriously adult swim was originally an uncensored anime block that had good shows, why dont they bring back the classics like outlaw star, and the original gundam, or show more mech animes, you can never go wrong with mech (Eva plz), and yeah honestly whats with the live action shows on CARTOONnetwork?

It never cease to amase me......... *sigh*


[adult swim] is ALREADY dead to me months ago and now for the next two weeks it will be official. Let Mike Lazzo (Head of AS) and those jokers do what they want with their stoner based "shows"
Screw them.

I just figured it out, They are going to pull one of their April fool pranks on anime fans again.
And it's going to be big and ugly. Just wait and see!

Well, if you've followed Adult Swim and paid attention, you would know that they've tried really hard to get anime to catch on. But the problem is anime ratings are always really low. If more people watched [as] anime, they wouldn't need put such an emphasis on comedy.

So you can point the finger at [as], but it's not their fault comedy pulls in a lot higher ratings, it's the viewers who don't watch anime.

@Heero
My friend and I actually cosplayed as Jamie and Coop one year at Otakon. Only one person yelled out "Coop and Jamie!" though.

yeah, ive given up on Adult Swim a long time ago. Roughly about the same time i stopped caring about Television in America. So yeah, the only reason I have a television is for my Playstation 2.

*sigh*... where have all the good shows gone?

@Nettle: seriously? their live shows sell out? are the venues just incredibly small or is Idiocracy coming to life?

Super Jail is indeed awesome though. Weird, but awesome. Take A Look Around You is entertaining as well.

@ProtoKnuckles: Unfortunately it's not the kind of cosplay that stands out in a crowd like say, something with an oversized prop.... I just wished they had made a DVD release of the show. The only way I was able to obtain it was a torrent with TV rips of it.

@Syn: People are stupid. My roommate thinks they're hilarious. He's basically your stereotypical fraternity nut and I don't think his IQ converted to wattage would equal a damp match in a dark cave, but hey, point is people like trash. Look at the majority of popular bands these days.

Could ye try contacting them and finding out why?

No more Code Geass? Goddammit. The dub is so good too. It's pretty much the only thing on TV I like anymore. They're only like episode 22 or something too...

Also, anime is the only thing that isn't complete shit on Adult Swim.

oh god this header made me lol'ed

Give it some time... if enough folks start missing their anime fix, a noise will be heard by jerks at AS. I really really really wish the Anime Network would go to cable..! (as well as satellite). I mean I am an American, but I cannot stand 99.999% of the animation produced here... it just sucks. And I mean big 'SUCKS'!
Gimme my ANIME!
