This and Mitsudomoe would be good fits for their non-anime programming for people over the age of 12. |

That's a necessary sacrifice. AS has to fill more ad slots than an anime TV length allows. At least there's only 1 commercial break in the middle.
As I mentioned before, AS can acquire an anime and get it on TV all within a couple of weeks. AS probably acquired DRR!! just days ago.
New eps in AS tend to air midnight-1am EST, then reruns after that. Heck, that's earlier than Madoka Magica aired in Japan! Infomercials usually start around 4am. Keeps things in perspective.

Even if they add InuYasha: Final Act.

Hell, Durarara!! itself ran at 1:25 AM on MBS. Adult Swim will most likely air it earlier than that. |

My God...[adult swim] is finally *back*!
They haven't had any good anime series I actually watch since Code Geass ended, fully two years ago. (Okay, Bleach is an okay show, I know a lot of people like it; but I was never personally that invested and its so long it was hard to keep up; I think it *should* be on because many people like it and it pays the bills, but edgy adult stuff? Not since Death Note/Code Geass) I saw the first two episodes English-dub premiere at New York Anime Fest six months ago; they were oustandingly good. Lets hope this, THIS is the point when we turn it around. Not just for adult swim, but that Durarara!! is enough of a hit to "prime the pump" and recruit new anime fans from the general populace. A starting point to rebuild the Adult Swim lineup around. |

Well the problem is that they don't "have" Code Geass or Death Note anymore. Granted, they've been rerunning FLCL fairly often the past few months, which is good, but its not enough, only 6 episodes and all. Oh yeah, some have mentioned they also run FMA: Brotherhood. The problem is that its good, but for me personally it was just too much of a rehash of the original FMA; yes I know its actually very different, and yes, the original FMA was the last genuine "mega-hit" anime they had (according to ANNcast and others) but still....it felt like "hey, more FMA" instead of something new and intriguing. |

[as] used to have a FAQ on their website, stating this as a reason. this was also back in the day when they'd outright skip intros (Trigun, Inuyasha... whatever the hell else they used to air back then) The only exception at the time was Bebop which used to air with full opening, ending and preview kajigger. |

Adult Swim, airing a new anime?? GET RIGHT OUTTA TOWN!!
Does this mean they've officially given up on Inuyasha: The Final Act? |

No, I don't think they've given up completely on InuYasha: The Final Act, but since it wasn't ready when Kekkaishi ended, they had to back up and punt. I believe Kekkaishi reruns will air at 12:30 a.m. for a couple of weeks, then Durarara!! will take over on June 18, giving Kekkaishi a break until it resurfaces at 1:30 a little later on when FLCL finishes its current run.
As for InuYasha: The Final Act, I'd say October once FMA:B runs out of premiere episodes. But if not then, maybe 2012?? |

You do know that it's based off of the Original manga right? Also past episode 13, the two series have little in the way of similar plots. They don't even share the same main villain. They also have completely different styles. |

Back on topic, it looks like according to Adult Swim's "backdoor" schedule:
http://schedule.adultswim.com/servlet/ScheduleServlet?action=AS&theDate=6/18/11&timeZone=EST It isn't coming on June 18th either. But it's quite possible that will be updated... If not, maybe it's really coming in July after FLCL's current run ends? I would hate to see them not finish the Demon Tamer arc of Kekkaishi or not air FLCLimax... |

Hope this does well, Durarara's a great show so hopefully it will gain some more love on Adult Swim.

Gee, [as], thanks for screwing DRRR over by putting it on after Bleach. Seeing as how a large portion of DRRR's cast is in Bleach. That was one of the major problems I think Code Geass had, because CG and Bleach were on back to back (I forget which one was on first), and you got an hour of JYB.
