Argh! They removed a good show for a additional episode of "Dogboy"? I was looking forward to the new episodes of Moribito...
Then again, it is Adult Swim. Logic isn't their strong suit, so I stopped trying to understand them a long time ago. Despite my initial "Grrrr!" reaction, I'm not surprised. It'll probably return at some point in time. Who knows? The first 10 episodes might be the only ones they have, but I doubt it. |

To be honest, I'm not all too upset about this. I wasn't overly thrilled with the show anyway.
I mainly enjoy watching Bleach and Code Geass. I considered Moribito a "bridge that need to be crossed" or an "obstacle to get over" when watching it. Sure it isn't a bad show, but I don't think it is an excellent one either... Don't get me wrong, I was somewhat anticipating the new episodes.. I'm just not really that disappointed that I'm not going to see them (at least not at this time) |

I knew they would do this. I used to love Inuyasha but now I seriously f***ing hate it!

I am just so stunned. Speechless. I was just checking my shows to be recorded when I noticed Moribito completely disappeared from my lineup. Then I happened to be on the Internet and read this news. Disappointment is not a strong enough word to describe me. At this point I'm going to special order the novel from my Barnes & Noble, I've waited way, way too long to see how this story goes, like everyone else, and I'm going to need something. Also, ask/beg my library system to buy the DVDs, it's worth that shot. By the by, Cait, are you liking Blockbuster for renting anime? I found my recent Blockbuster experience to be poor compared to Netflix. Blockbuster was always a day slower in turnaround and not all of their anime are catalogued in anime, which is so...unhelpful. |

As others have said, if Geass isn't affected, then ratings shouldn't be the issue. Maybe the replay of the first 10 episodes was to stall so they could resolve whatever issues there were, but they couldn't get things settled in time. Maybe we'll get actual answers so we don't have to guess.
I just hope they'll eventually show the rest of the series. Last edited by boznia on Sat Jan 17, 2009 12:49 am; edited 1 time in total |

This reminds me of when Inuyasha was still airing new episodes and the times had changed. Seriously, why not bring back series might boost ratings so shows like Morbito have a chance to finish their run. I remember after almost fifty episodes Case Closed was taken off air. I realize ratings matter, but I understand what fans of this show are feeling like now.
Though I am not if Netflix has the complete series of Case Closed, I'd sure enjoy watching the series via television again even if took 7-8 years to complete the series like Inuyasha. I've watched a couple minutes of Moribito and compared to other shows, this is a well done show. Hopefully Moribito will eventually be aired on televison again, or at least during the week days. |

Further proves that Adult Swim clearly has no idea how to air anime on their block. If you'll excuse me, I'd love nothing more than Kim Manning and Mike Lazzo's heads on pikes. |

Honestly, I just hope don't get the bitter end of the deal, just like the Case Closed cancelation. I know that ratings equal money, but I would have figured the ratings for a well thought out series like this would be higher.
Hopefully some sort of deal happens. |

Not the first time that Cartoon Network have tried to kill off this show. Remember when they moved it to 4 in the blasted morning? Geez CN give us a break! You inundate us with *shudder* Family Guy and your lame 'Original Programming' (Oddly enough Robot Chicken doesn't bother me too much ... but are you really showing us enough Family Guy?)
I have nothing against an extra InuYasha... if they ever got to the point that they would show the episodes that haven't made the tv here. Is it so hard to finish the series already? |

Just chiming in with my 2 cents of disgruntlement with AS too... When they keep doing stuff like this to quality shows, it makes it really hard to support the "legitimate" sources of anime. Illegal streaming and torrents are about the only methods left for most of us to watch really great shows like Moribito.

Hell, even Sci-Fi, for all their massive problems with commercials and being annoying, know how to keep a show in one slot and at a convenient time for the age demographic.
