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.



still not sure if gitama is a sub only release, I had either read an article, or heard a pod cast, might of been podcast, that section 23 films was working on 2 separate English dubs, with sentai films, but would not say what shows, but with a long series like gintama, it would be in their interest to add an English dub

I'll agree with this. The only reason companies pick up these super-long titles is in hopes that they can one day get them on TV and the best way to make them accessible is by getting a dub on there. I can't think off the top of my head any series this long that was licensed and not given a TV broadcast. Naruto (twice), Bleach, Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, One Piece, Dragonball/DBZ among a few others. It's a short list, but all found their way to TV at some point. Even the former ADV was never ambitious enough to snag a title this long, even for the years they were king of the hill. It's really hard to believe that Sentai wouldn't dub Gintama and have some sort of plan line to get it on TV.

i won't say that means it'll come to Adult Swim, it could be headed to Disney X D right behind Naruto for all we know, but if it doesn't get a dub and doesn't get on TV it'll be the first of its kind that I can remember.

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?
Bleach is a mediocre top shelf shounen series, as opposed to Soul Eater's mediocre third-rate status. There is a difference.

Like the difference between The Jay Leno Show and Lopez Tonight.

Huh? Only the finale of Death Note was rated TV-MA (the series was otherwise rated at varying levels of TV-14), and Blood+ was also mostly TV-14 with a few MA-rated episodes. Blood+ was also hardly what could be called "decent."

I'm going FMA: Brotherhood, Inuyasha and Darker than Black

Isn't Gintama automatically disqualified for being sub-only?

They usually buy these series before they are dubbed. So while it wouldn't air sub only, the TV deal would pay for the show to be dubbed, or at least defray the cost quite substantially.

Yeah it's an obvious fake.

Don't hate on Shugo Chara just because it's bad.

Am I the only one who thinks Funimation has Dragon Ball Kai in their back pocket, and that's the new show. I don't know how many episodes are released in Japan, but is it odd for US to air something shortly behind Japan? I think Kai is a shoe in for one of their three slots.

Shugo Chara being liscensed would be cool...

If Funimation were smart, and they are, they wouldn't announce that they have Dragonball Kai until their DragonBox run has finished. Announcing they have Kai now would hurt the sales for the DragonBoxes.

Hey, get a clue: The official english title of Shugo Chara is:

"My Guardian Characters" (See official banner on CR page: http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Shugo_Chara )

If you're gonna spoof something, do it right.
