As for ecchi comedies: [AS] really needs to reconsider their policy on fanservice. It doesn't matter what Kim Manning says, we need fanservicey anime comedies there. It's not like Love Hina has the same nudity level as Elfen Lied or anything like that.


I think America as a whole should reconsider their policy on "fanservice" and "nudity" on TV. Christ, even kids shows in Japan have some fanservice in it (most recently, "Hayate no Gotoku!"). It ticks me off that killing someone on TV is TV-14 or even TV-PG; but to show just a little nudity automatically constitutes a TV-MA.

It's the not-so-age-old-question: which would you rather find in your kid's room: a gun or a Playboy Magazine?


Which brings me to this: Why are we Americans so uptight about nudity? Why can't we look the other way like countries in Europe do? Their TV stations allow nudity on TV, even on daytime shows, so why can't we? What do we think is going to happen?

Fridays should be for anime comedies.


I agree.

I blame these not-so-nice-people.

Well I'm happy that "Lucy, Daughter of the Devil" is finally starting up (after waiting two years!!!), and "The Boondocks" are finally returning! Plus that "Robot Chicken: Star Wars" sounds really funny.

If only [adult swim] would air something like "Chobits." (Maybe a promo feature a montage of the characters saying "Porno sites" might bring in the [as] crowd Anime hyper.)

I saw a promo the other night where they were talking about their Friday lineup, and mentioned several updates, then specifically said something along the lines of "no anime news." So it doesn't seem there will be any anime on Friday nights, or at least nothing new.

For the last two years or so, I've taken anything that [as] has said in the form of a bumper with a grain of salt.

From July, the adult animation block will also air on Fridays from 23.00 to 06.00. When this happens the weeknight 22.30 slot will go, but the encore airings at 02.00 and weekend 23.00 slots will remain unaffected.
Giving up 2&1/2 hours for 7. Not bad, but the fact that they did let it go probably means there was some in-fighting over at the network.
