The members of [as]'s message boards have started a letter campiagn of sorts...they are sending pizza box tops to [as]'s offices (as well as normal stuff). If you all would like to join in the fun, here is the link that will get you the address

Or it was just a really poorly timed re-broadcast of a promo for the schedule as it existed back in April. There's no change to the schedule at adultswim.com. |

@Conan-san: I would guess it's due to the crazy ammount of Pizza Hut plugs in the original Japanese version of the show. The logos were all painted out of the R1 release, but you still see a pizza box in almost every episode.

Takeyo is correct. Plus there is a history of sending [as] odd things (like tea bags and ant farms). To be fair people are mailing normal letters and postcards as well. |

With all of this talk about money and the expense to run an imported series verses a home-grown one, why don't [AS] buy a license to distribute Anime DVDs from the site? They could recoup some of the money 'lost' to 'low ratings' and it will give some incentive to promote the shows a bit more.
Or better yet, they could sell the OST CDs for some of these shows. Or, if they can get the license to do so, they could sell downloads of songs people want. Other cable networks have done this (USA, Discovery Networks, etc.) and they are doing it with there own stuff as well as Family Guy, so why not Anime titles? Anyway, just a thought. |

This really is sad that CG is being cut once R1 ends. I feel bad that people won't get to see what happens in R2, considering that (being ambiguous to avoid spoilers) R1 ends on a huge cliffhanger. I do wonder how this happened though. CG has won numerous awards in Japan, its dvds have been at the top of the charts, and R2 is the 6th highest ranked anime of all time here on ANN. I have a lot of love of [as], and I wish them all the best, but I believe that some network will have the inteligence to pick up R2 and, by giving it the marketing it deserves, will make it a massive hit; I know I'll be watching.

Hey parents, you are pretty stupid to let your kids watch a program called ADULT SWIM...
So it's OK to let junior watch Naruto (well at least until Toonami was cancelled that is) with loads of violence, but one "naked" part, or anything dealing with "sex" is taboo... I have a cousin (who is like 14 or so) his parents let him play M rated games (which in my mind is kind of stupid, cause they make the game ratings for a reason). Adult Swim could have just pushed back Code Geass & Morbito an hour (like 1 AM or so) and put on an hour of "Family Guy" or "Robot Chicken" (or something decent). They did not have to "punish" us by putting on 2 hours of their so-called "comedy" shows. Morbito was just getting started, and is probably one of the more interesting shows they have had on in a while (well besides Death Note), and they are supposed to get season 2 of Code Geass (it's less than 5 episodes away now)? |

Um...no one said once that Code Geass is being cut once the first season ends. The second season's first few episodes are still on [as]'s schedule, and a Bandai representative stated flat-out at some anime convention earlier today that it will be aired. |

I HATE CN. Beyond anything. I wish someone would kick the people who run CN's butt. Big time
Toonami - Is over. Done. That means No more Naruto. (Which sucked right now anyways but that means we prob won't ever get the second season, which is spossed to be better) And they will remove the rest of the anime soon. Even Bleach. Thats what its coming down to. They are just screwing over anime viewers. ANd please, don't get me that ratings crap. Late night ratings are always gonna be lower then any other time. I really wish some other channel would buy out Bleach, CG and Morb. Maybe Scifi.. They show anime. Right now just meh stuff...but it could work. Would be better then this bulls--- we are getting from CN, as they slowly get rid of all their anime. I say after they do, everyone who can STOP watching CN for good. No matter what. Because who wants to watch a network that screws over its viewers as MUCH as they have? |

While tonight the scedule is still the horrible 5:00-6:00 for Moribito and Geass, next weak they are back to 1:00-2:00 and 4:00-5:00 like they used to be, according to the scedule on Adult Swim's website. This confirms what enurtsol posted earlier.
Yay for more Inuyasha reruns too! |

I'm sorry, but I would take the flash schedule with a grain of salt. Next Saturday's lineup will be determined by the winner of the BK Have it Your Way contest. If you look at the flash schedule, the only show with posted episode titles is InuYasha; all the other shows have none. And since the winning lineup won't be announced until next Saturday, [as] just needed something to put in as placeholders for now, that's all.

Taking into consideration how utterly ridiculous is Code Geass R2, they won't miss much. |
