Just a heads-up...
Showtime Beyond is running Peacemaker on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday with Chrono Crusade. |

Okay, now cartoonnetwork.com is saying Eureka 7 is on tonight at 12:00 AM and 3:00 AM, but for the next two weeks it will be on at 1:30 AM and 4:30 AM. WTF is going on over there?
Eh, I watch it on the Fix anyway, so I'm good, but damn, all [as] is getting in terms of anime this year is Bleach. InuYasha will be over in October and who knows what may happen to Eureka 7. Considering all of the anime I watch is on TV, I might be screwed! |

hype and demand. Kim Manning said herself they don't like every show they pick up. |

Where are people getting this "Adult Swim hates Eureka 7" thing? I'm not defending Adult Swim/Eureka 7, I just honestly haven't heard anything about this before and I'm curious.
I wouldn't know if they've said something to the effect of "P.S. - we hate Eureka 7, have fun watching it at its new crappy time" during the bumps, since I haven't really watched any anime on Adult Swim since glorious, glorious Paranoia Agent came and went. I'm just interested if there are any statements to back these claims up, or if it's just some "this show I like has been given a bad timeslot, CLEARLY Adult Swim wants to shove red hot pokers in my eyes" exaggeration. |

I know. Everyone is free to call me an idiot as much as they want for the next 27 hours, please do
 . My only consolidation is that the click got it wrong too.

Paranioa Agents back! Lame timeslot but YES! It's back!
Then again, "smart anime" has never done good for [as] as any anime not Inu Yasha or Cowboy Bebop (not saying the later are dumb, they just more actioned up that PA) has typically failed after a few runs. I don't think [as] has it out for anime it's just anime is in a slump. Lets hope the kids out of school will finally pull down some anime ratings. fawhoooosh! |

Eureka Seven hasn't been doing any worse than most of the FMA premieres did. It's been relatively stable around 300,000 18-34 viewers, which is no worse than anything else running currently and, by all logic, gives them no reason to put it at the very end of the block. |

 That's quite a transition. Has anyone at WAM ever seen Mirage of Blaze, I wonder?

What I was trying to say is that having more shows like Lost is the step in the right direction. If people start enjoying more continuous plot lines like that show, maybe some will start to get interested in anime (since it does the same thing most of the time). And considering how popular Lost has been in the passed few years, I think people want more of it. But it's not like I'm saying it's my "master" scheme to get anime universally accepted. That will never happen. Yes, the fact that it's a cartoon will turn off a least half the market. Anime will never be universally accepted, no matter how hard we try. Even awesome movies, like Princess Mononoke, despite darling reviews, plummeted in theatres. |

That vision sounds a lot like Heat Guy J. XD As for the state of more mature oriented anime,awhile back there was talk of FMA going into syndication on a Satelite channel.It there's going to be any sort of 2nd anime revolution,it probably lies on syndicated televison.One of my local channels (KCAL-9) carries reruns of South Park,CSI,and ER.(and probably a handful of other series I'm not aware of) Content wise,airing something like FMA on broadcast television shouldn't be a problem.The language on South Park seems a little cleaned up,but CSI and ER as well as South Park all stay intact.And CSI and ER can get pretty intense at times. If Funimation,ADV,or Geneon can successfully sell any of their series to a good number of local affiliates across the country,there's a good chance of revitalizing interest in anime.Hell,if anime starts showing up on local channels and ratings are high enough,we could be seeing anime on *gasp* network television in the future. (^which honestly shoudn't even be that farfetched now.the majority of sitcoms suck,and new reality shows are lame) |

It's a cultural problem.It's the same reason why Futbol (Soccer) has never really taken off in the U.S. (hopefully the World Cup can change things this time around) When Americans think of "animation",they think of Looney Toons,Shrek,Finding Nemo,Spongebob,etc. When they think of "mature animation",they think of South Park,Family Guy,Robot Chicken,Drawn Together,Aqua Teen,etc. Ever since The Simpsons,popular mature animated programs have been considered more or less as animated sitcoms with some weird twists here and there.During the anime boom,the perception of mature animation to started to change a little,but with the success of [as] Comedy things have pretty much reverted. On the brightside,*WE'VE* grown-up with anime.And it's safe to say more and more people are getting into anime thanks to the anime boom a couple of years ago.As time goes on and we're in our 30's or 40's,no one's going to have to explain anime to us because we already *get it*.The exact same thing is happening with Soccer in the U.S. Kids are actually growing up with the sport and now have the opportunity to attend major league games.Eventually,there could come a time when Soccer is considered a mainstream sport in the U.S. |

I'M PISSED!!!!
I stayed up til 1:30 am just to watch Eureka 7. All they showed was a rerun of Cowboy Bebop! Then I looked at zap2it.com and it said that Eureka 7 will be on a 3 am. WTF?! I hate the fact that [adult swim] can be so messy with the schedules. Why did they do that?!  Was Eureka 7 shown at its normal time, which was/is 12 am? Or did the show's times changed and AS lied about its new times? I'm confused!
BTW, I live in the pacific time zone. |
