It's got to be Soul Eater. There is just no doubt in my mind.

And the 4x Bleach actually does them two favors.

1. They are speeding up the reruns so they can start airing primers in April.

2. Bleach is [as]'s highest rating grabbing anime. Putting 4x Bleach after the new show might get people to watch the new show as well. It's like a reinforcement for curiosity. (If they were planning on watching Bleach, they might decide to tune in a bit earlier to check out the new show because whether they like it or not, Bleach will be on right after.)

It shouldn't be Soul Eater. Never release a show on TV simultaneous as your DVD release.

Congratulations! These must indeed be exiting times for you....but what does your shopping list have to do with Adult Swims February 14th anime premier? Though, don't get me wrong, I'm glad you decided to keep all of us in the loop.

I wouldn't say that, I think CN has done that with a few of those straight to DVD movies based on DC Comics properties before. What I'd say should never been done is what Bandai did with Gurren Lagann. Now I know they were still dubbing the show as it was first airing on Sci-Fi, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people were pissed seeing DVDs for the show on shelves and buying them only to realize they were sub only.

Having more anime become mainstream IS A GOOD THING. I would love it to be Soul Eater, especially since it dovetails nicely with the Bleach blast from 12:30 to 2:30.
Since when did a mediocre third-rate shounen series about wacky demons eating souls become anything that could possibly be considered "mainstream" in this country?

Which show are you referring to, Soul Eater or Bleach?

Mm, there are no demons in Bleach; Soul Eater I suppose? Both are third rate either way.

It has to be Soul Eater. I can't see them playing FMA/FMA:B or IY/IYTFA simultaneously. And I doubt that the latter two have dubs this soon.


They will probably start FMA:B after FMA finishes it's final run, it's on episode 26 and 27 this weekend so it should be June by the time that's over, and then maybe they'll start airing FMA: B. Will definitely DVR whatever the new show is, just to check it out.

Gintama isn't licensed let alone dubbed so there's no way of it actually being on Adult Swim now even though I wish it could be.


Well we'll have to stop wishing now that Gintama has been licensed by the sub only co Sentai Fimworks/Section 23.

After that,it's preety sure it's NOT gonna happen and it's a shame cause it fits into AS targeted demography along with Bleach since it's s shouen jump series. Best bet that it's probably FMA Brotherhood.

though i hope that it might be Rin cause they need another decent TVMA series now that blood plus & death note is no longer there but i have my doubts about that cause of the timeslot.

Broadcast rights for Gurren Lagann are already with SyFy, that's not likely to change.

Rin takes TVMA to an extreme that Adult Swim could never go. Plus it's six, 46 minute OAV episodes, it just isn't in the right format for AS.
