Might check out Morbito, must check DVR...About FMA: B. I don't know how well it would do if they aired it subbed on TV, we'll have to wait for the dub.

Great news, but we've still gotta wait yet another two months for new episodes. At least that date will be here before we know it.

Actually, you can buy volume 4 (eps 11-13) right now at RACS. I just watched it last week and ep 13 was very awesome with a slight cliffhanger ending.

While all of this is good news, I was kinda hoping for a Eureka 7 and/or Blood+ re-airing. Oh well...

-It's great that all of Moribito will show on [AdultSwim], and I'm really excited that "The Boondocks" is going to get a third season.
-However, since I've already seen all of Moribito and know where to watch LEGAL streams of The Boondocks online, I'm going to continue to avoid [AdultSwim] like it's the plague until they get rid of all those horrible shows. With the number of viewers that those several insultingly crappy shows run away from [AdultSwim] altogether, I'm surprised that the advertisers don't demand compensation for brand damages.
-*AS boycott, three years and counting*

You gotta give AS credit for not giving up on Moribito. They've reran it 3 times now, in the hope of getting new episodes, which they're finally getting. It seems like a show AS would never have acquired, but here they are airing it as much as they can, presumably in the hopes of finishing it(AS always finishes shows, with minor exceptions a few years back).


I wasnt susprised they'll be back.As has a good relatiosnhip with Moribito's developer Production I.G thanks to success of Ghost in the Shell,it's Toonami original IGPX and Blood Plus so it wasnt going to mess up that relationship at all.It's good that it'll be back.Unfortunately it may not do well either way cause although the series is great,it's too slow for the high-octane fans,especially now that code geass is finished it's run.Hopefully it'll be successful this time.Hopefully.

Maybe it was AS' plan all along, but I would guess that the recent high points of Bleach in the AS Sat Ratings could've helped get AS to request more of the 2 episodes a week thing, since it's worked so well for them. AS even aired a bump this week noting the 3-week streak Bleach has had as the top of Saturday Ratings, and stated that they were serious about their kudos to Bleach. Bleach may not be the best or brightest anime out there, but it gets people watching anime on tv, which makes it awesome in my book.



Unfortunately the're going to run out of new epsiodes of bleach cause it was supposed to end a while now.Wont be susprised that cause of the two epsiode run,they run out of new epsiodes and people start losing interest.AS needs new anime to keep people interested>they should try getting naruto shippuden to AS soon or probably the UNCUT versions of One Piece now or probably the new FMA series cause unless something's done fast,it wont last.

I'm so glad! n_n It's been so long... Anime hyper I had really gotten into Moribito way back when it aired in August. Anime hyper
I have to agree though... that Adult Swims weekday line up of shows is just awful.... Honestly, how can anyone watch some of that stuff? Shocked

Why? It bombed royally in its initial run.

Adult Swim just seems to be looking for an anime scapegoat, what with Bleach actually outperforming most of their in-house shows.
