Wow, didn't take them long to start milking this one (not that I mind in the least Laughing ). I guess this means the show is being well received over there.

"Clip! Clap!", eh? Sounds like they threw together a clip show. That's fine, though, it'll help new viewers get up to speed with the show.

Clip! Clap! is uncut definitely with that time slot and a Sunday timeslot for the second special is great.

Yippee! More Soul Eater.

They both sound like clip shows to me. The CLIP!CLAP! one is only 15 minutes long (minus commercials).

The more "Soul Eater," the better. This is a series that should've been licensed here by the end of the first episode. So far -- to me, that is -- the series has been perfect.

Actually, middle of the night/early hours of the morning are the standard timeslots for anime in Japan. Daytime slots are either for much more kid-oriented shows (Pokemon/Yatterman), with few exceptions. Geass R2 has grabbed a surprisingly early timeslot, though that doesn't appear to have helped it's ratings at all.

Yeah, for otaku anime, and those TV timeslots are just advertising vehicles for the DVDs and merchandise, damn the ratings! Laughing
(Their ad slots are already pre-paid by their production sponsors anyways, so ratings don't matter much.)

For a niche audience, [Adult Swim] still has better timeslots though. Yet, the Japanese put up with worse timeslots and more expensive DVDs. Westerners are so spoiled! Razz

Clip! Clap! website: http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/c-e/
Appears to be a round-table discussion format for various releases. Summary for the actual episode confirms that it will be a clip show.
