Yeah but how long has CN been showing anime???? At least CN shows official dubbed anime and dosen't change the core aspects of the show.And all of a sudden MTV grabs the rights to air a GREAT anime and is going to change it all around (i.e. city guy). It's just like 4-kids entertainment butchering Shaman King and other animes just for profit. It really is a shame. It just shows how MTV really is. It's just a slap in the face.

We don't see CN licencing anime and putting them on Boomerang, do we? |

First of all, there is no indication that MTV has changed anything of the show. They did NOT change the name of the show to "The City Guy". "The City Guy" is actually the name of the first episode in the series; MTV's online schedule is just poorly constructed. The only slap in the face MTV has done thus far (at least in my opinion) is put it on MTV2. We'll have to wait until they actually air the series to see if anything else was done to it, but so far there's no reason to believe there will be.
I believe I said that myself once about "Lupin III". :lol: |

If it wasn't for the popularity of Adult Swim, unoriginal networks like MTV would have anime in their line-ups.

I agree. MTV is no longer a music channel, it is a pop culture channel. The only reason they are going to show anime is because they think its the new it thing, kind of like the comic book genre. It's probably the reason they became reality show whores. |

I love this new fanboy attitude that somehow people trying to make money on anime is evil and that it's an artform magically produced for free by some unknown 3rd party that doesn't need to make money off of it to make more.
MTV is evil for airing unedited Heat Guy J episodes. Amazing. What will you idiots whine about next? -Z |

I just watched Heat Guy J and I think the show is pretty good but the MTV2 logo was so annoying. I could deal with it being in the upper right hand corner even though it sometimes cover up the action on the screen but the constant flashing was so distracting. After about ten minutes in to the show and it not going away I had to cover that corner so I would not see it flashing any more. I think I would rather rent Heat Guy J then watch it on MTV2 because of that logo. Did it bother anybody else or am I just being to sensitive to it?

It didn't really bother me at all, but that's mostly because the show was constantly moving. I thought the show was good, and the only thing they actually did to the show was change the soundtrack from the origional music, but I thought they did a decent job considering most of the music fit the scene it was in. Other than that I really see no problem with it being on MTV except that it is preceeded by Bevis & Butthead and followed by Aeon Flux. But oh-well. I think MTV did a smart move with this one. They managed to snag a series that a good amount of our anime community was scrammbeling to see, aired it unedited (as far as content) we get one hour of it per week with new episodes each week( I find this very satisfying since CN usually airs their shows in batches, the best example being Inu-Yasha). Also, it is on friday night when Adult Swim isn't even scheduled, and it re-airs saturday morning(unless thay change that). Really, the only bad thing I see here is if people start complaining because they changed the music. |

Are you sure they changed the music? The music sounds exactly like the music used in the clips found on the [url=heatguyj.com]official website[/url].

Actually I am not sure. I watched it with a friend of mine who (supposedly) watched it before hand and he commented that the music was different. I humored this because I didn't know myself and it sounded kind of different for an anime, but I could be wrong. If I am then there is absolutly NO reason to be upset about HGJ on MTV2. |

So.....why did they skip 2 episodes?
I happened to notice in the ending credits of "Doll" that it said episode 5. For someone seeing the series for the first time, was there anything important in the two eps they skipped? |

1. Actually, Mtv was evil before they even got Heat Guy J. 2.Apparently it's not unedited. I know it's for time and maybe they will improve their editing. 3. What I might whine about next? Whatever strikes my fancy. I'll admit it's good to see another anime on tv. Is this only going to show on Mtv2 or on Mtv also? |
