I was never aware of this policy and I'd be surprised if it were true considering at what time [as] is on. But I'm pretty sure it's not in effect now since they aired Code Geass R2. In any case, I'm looking forward to watching this one. |

You know, if it is indeed a package deal with Inuyasha, it acutally makes sense on Viz's part. They started a Shonen Sunday manga line, and the only Shonen Sunday manga they have with a highly visible anime (by which I mean on TV a lot) is Inuyasha. It makes sense that they'd try to push another SS series on the channel that made Inuyasha popular.

seriously, what is the big surprise. I mean most of the show that show up on Adult Swim are mostly from Viz Midea and with that in mind. I vote Vampire Kinghts as the third show.
Also, I was the first to say that Kekkaishi was going to be one of the three when people where first guessing what shows it would be that Adult Swim was getting. |

I'm not familiar with this anime but I might give it a try. I too, was hoping for Soul Eater or Inuyasha. As for Vampire Knight, not a chance, cause it's shojo; as for being on Disney, I don't see that happening. They'd not only have to edit out the blood but the part where spoiler[it's revealed that Kaname is Yuuki's brother, and he does tell her that. Note to Kaname fans, let's not get into an argument about whether or not he is, because regardless of what you believe, it is in the dialogue.] But that's not until the second season. spoiler[And yes, folks, she's still in love with him.] And not to mention the neckbiting between two certain male vampires.

What a surprise, I'd never have guessed this since Kekkaishi is a bit kiddy for adult swim, but I'm glad they chose this and not soul eater. I actually liked Kekkaishi, but I'm more shocked that's even licensed. Kekkaishi's been sitting around so long, I figured its time had passed but I guess I was wrong. I'll definitely be watching this one.

...wot? The show dripping with blood, bishie and incest? That's going to Disney? Yeah, ok, no.  No way in hell, no way on earth. Rumor denied on the grounds of being far too stupid to be true.

They announced InuYasha Final Act at the same con that they announced the other two. |

I highly doubt it will be Vampire Knight, it's too short, the only short show they like is FLCL is because that did well for them. It will probably be InuYasha: the Final Act because InuYasha is a big name. I'll watch Kekkaishi, just to see how it is.

Ooooh, I've seen a couple episodes of Kekkaishi. I'm very interested in seeing more. Although yes, it is an odd choice for Adult Swim. It'd probably do well with a younger audience... but then who are we kidding, the younger audiences are up that late watching the anime anyway. I know I was when I was that age...
Why do people think Vampire Knight would EVER get on television? Aside from the vampire thing... Yes, vampires are big right now, but I highly doubt anyone is going to want to promote incest on U.S. television. |

I'm okay with this. Kekkaishi is basically Inuyasha minus the time travel. It's a very good series all around.
I laughing at everyone who's disappointed that it's not Soul Eater. Kekkaishi is a better series imo. |

I said this like nine times already, but you NEVER release your shows on TV simultaneous with the DVD release. It just wouldn't work. I think Kekkaishi is a show that would look better on Cartoon Network, after school at around 4:00 daily. That's the time when kids just sit down and watch whatever is on TV. Still, I will definitely be watching this. I don't watch Monster and FMA because they are just too boring to watch at night. Did any of you guys read the column in in Anime Insider by Rob Bricken? A reader once sent in a letter to Rob on whether shoujo anime would ever get a chance of TV broadcast. He said never. |
