Cartoon Network has Bleach, albeit indirectly via AS.

Does anyone know if Nickelodeon broadcasts in HD?

Well, Dragon Ball Kai is already edited for broadcast, and even in DVD and Blu-Ray format, so they probably won't need to make any further edits (I wouldn't be surprised if they did, though).
It's a shame CN couldn't get it, but they probably wouldn't know what to do with it if they did. |

I'll be honest when I say I'm more interested in the new Voltron then I am about Dragon Ball Kai. Everybody knows what happened at the end of Z so it doesn't make too much sense to relive this again and I also got a bad feeling about Monica Rial as Bulma.

She can't be any worse than Tiffany Vollmer's Bulma. Monica Rial is a real talent. She'll probably be fine. |

Well, even though Cha-La Head-Cha-La (nor Zenkai Power) was never dubbed into English, all other Dragon Ball theme songs have been done (Makafushigi, Romantic Ageru Yo, Dan Dan, and all four of GT's ED songs), so it looks likely that they're going to dub "D'Oregon Soul" and "Yeah! Break! Care! Break!" into English, complete with (probably) Vic M doing the vocals *shudder*. I'd be pleasantly surprised if (1) they leave it in Japanese, and (2) they don't shorten the OP even further like they did with Brotherhood on [as]. |

Nice! Best news for anime in the past month, after a lot of wonky news bits. Hope it gets a whole new generation of kids onto DB and Voltron.

Vic's version of "Dan Dan" for DBGT was fairly decent. I've never liked him much as a voice actor, but his singing voice isn't bad. Anyway, I'm guessing the OP and ED will be skipped, if not truncated. |

As I've said, Kai is already censored. |

Cartoon Network and AS are virtually two different entities now (they have been for a while now), they simply share the same channel. The only anime CN has to its name are stupid craptastic cardbased 22 minute toy commercials. With the exception of one or two remnants of a cartoon left to their channel they have sold their souls to the reality tv devil and are suffering for it (rightfully so). Now like a slow rotting course its since detached siamese twin (adult swim) is devouring them slowly taking away its airtime little by little as proof by the recent press release that AS was going to gain another hour starting 2011. It's no wonder CN didn't get Kai, in fact I'm not surprised they didn't go for it, the big execs over there clearly have no idea what they're doing anymore. |

Wow.... I'm speechless,All i can say is,this is almost like a rebirth on anime on Nick,almost like the old days of the old school Nick Jr era with Cities of mysteriouse gold,Maya the bee,The little bits,The noozles(AKA: Wonderful koala blinky), the Little Koala
only this time it's Dragonball kai on nicktoons network,interesting 
this era of television this decade is like weird and WTF,but also pretty cool. the thing is cartoon network has been on a streak of dying quite some time now,I mean 2 hours of bleach and FMA Brotherhood is'nt enough to save CN or adult swim in general,so now we have all these other animes on different channel,like we also have Rave Master on Scifi ani-monday. |

Just caught Update 2:
Oookay? Anyone know anything about this Voltron Panthera Force thing? 
We're supposed to know about this stuff right? Our mainstream friends are supposed to come to us at times like this to ask "What the heck is Pantera Voltron?" and we're supposed to be able to answer them right...? ("Oh yeah, the Japanese title is...") What black hole did this fall out of? I haven't been felt this unsuspecting about something anime related since before I found the internet. |

Hey everyone, it's me again.
(sigh) I really should post here more often. Anyway, I think it's safe to assume that , like Speed Racer, The Next Generation, the new Voltron show is strictly an American production. In this case, it's one not based on any existing anime. Either way, I don't mean any offense, but we really don't need Voltron (a combination of two unrelated shows for syndication purposes) anymore anyway. Thanks to Media Blasters, we now have the original Go Lion, and they just recently released the first volume of the original Dairugger as well. For this reason, and in my honest opinion, any "new" Voltron series would be an insult to anyone who "knows the difference", since (also like SR:TNG) it would really pretend as though Japan doesn't exist. As for DB(Z)K, whatever it is they do, I hope that a certain line is translated properly this time. As some of you may know, "it's" actually supposed to be "over EIGHT thousand". Maybe it did inspire an internet meme, but Vegeta nonetheless says "'Hassen' ijou da", and not "kyusen". Incidentally, I'm not buying that "changed for dubbing purposes" bit. Incidentally, I think the earliest anime NICK broadcast was "The Adventures of the Little Prince". It was originally made by a company called Knack (as "Hoshi no Ojisama: Petit Prince") back in 1978 (NICK aired it back in 1983). As for future acquisitions, I don't think we should get ahead of ourselves...at least not just yet. |
