I'm usually too busy with college to keep up with anime shown on AS, but if I had invested the time to watch 50 episodes mostly unedited and then have the ending botched, I would have been pissed too. The fans have a right to call shenanigans on Adult Swim, and I'm glad their words were heard rather than ignored for once.
I do admit, I get irritated with some of the bumps that I catch in passing while my fiance is watching Family Guy. (The one about telling North Korea not to bomb South Korea because their internet would be flooded with "Waaaanime" fans was particularly distasteful in my view.) I'm a big girl, and I have thick enough skin to know they aren't personally attacking me, but I think that attitude towards fans is getting stale pretty fast. They need to find a new way to make jokes for their bumps, or their fanbase is just going to get angry and quit supporting the channel. And while I do appreciate Family Guy and Futurama once in a while, all the Tim and Eric Saul of the Molemen junk needs to go. I don't know a single person that finds that crap funny, and you never see it high up on the list when they play the ratings game. Let it go, and make something refreshing instead of just vulgar and stupid. |

You never see anime high up when they play it either... so basically you're saying they shouldn't be playing anime anymore? It can be looked at either way. |

While I'm happy to hear AS has fixed this issue. However, a simple solution would have been just to head over to youtube or a similar fan sharing site and just watch the deleted scenes there. Sometimes I think we Anime fans get flustered over the littlest things. I know my attitude sounds terribly pragmatic, but come on, the episode is out there on the net. While I enjoyed the E7 dub immensely, I know enough not to always count on the TV broadcast to deliver the goods come the series finale.
That said, the response from the folks @ AS gives the feeling that the edits were pre-planned. If this is the case I’d love to know who AS thought would benefit from pissing off so many fans? Since I am an avid conspiracy theorist I’ll throw these out there for sake of discussion. 1. AS messed with the final E7 ep. to test the viewer-ship. Meaning they wanted to know how many of us are really still watching Anime. Let’s face it – the AS programming block has expanded exponentially these past few years, all thanks to Anime, but the amount of Anime shown on AS has not… And don’t start with listing all the “new” series they have shown, because when you compare those numbers to what’s actually available for TV broadcast it doesn’t add up. Historically AS has gone with picking up long running shows that have 50+ eps, so they can run them into the ground, then sprinkle in a 26 episoder to make it all look good. We the fans keep on asking for more and better shows, but those shows are few and far between. To me showing Bleach on AS is nothing more than fan service to keep the masses of mainstream fanboys quiet. (please no flames on that comment – I am a MAJOR Bleach fan – and notice I said mainstream fans) Blood+, seems like a nice way to shut the hardcore fans up for a while; kinda like GIS:SAC did, and E7 can be viewed as the everybody will be happy show, since it was written to toe the line between hardcore and mainstream fans. What I mean is; there’s enough mecha action and fanservice for the average joe fanboys, along with the great writing, animation, and execution, the more seasoned Anime fans look for. I could be wrong, but that’s just a theory. 2. Bandia requested the edits. They do have DVD’s to sell, and what better way to get people to buy vol. 7 |

I think there are better ways to test veiwership than having their forum server crashed with the rantings of irate anime fans. I also doubt Bandai requested the edits, most of the companies are probably happy that the show gets on the air at all. Remember CN is paying Bandai the right to play the content on their channel. That's why CN likes pushing stuff like Tim and Eric and Saul, because it's cheaper than trying to bid on the hot new anime property. I think what happened is the staff running AS that night didn't really grok that the ending episode was different. That they didn't have to run the OP and ED segments because they were built into the episode itself. |

Please, I have a Bachelors Degree in Political Science. Name a hot-button political topic, I probably debated it a million times.

Maybe they don't hate anime fans after all. Oh wait, this is [as] we're talking about. At least they don't hate us as much as the American version of g4
