Maybe EVA will be shown uncut; and this is a sure way to make sure that young audiences don't watch it. After all, many kids stay up past midnight on non-school days. Just a hypothesis.

Saturday will be full, to put it bluntly, with Fullmetal Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex 2ND GIG, and I believe the continued runs of s-CRY-ed and new Inu-Yasha episodes. Thursday is already something of a "second Saturday" in playing select encores, so why not take it one step further and give it its own premieres? Or would you rather they wait another six months or more for an opening in the Saturday schedule to appear somewhere between the resuming Samurai Champloo and other, still continuing series? |

Well, do we know for sure that GITS: SAC 2nd Gig is premiering in September? I think Paranoia Agent is done in another 4 weeks, so that frees up one slot. Samurai Champloo will still be going, so I guess it will still air at 11:30. I would guess that they will stop airing FLCL once FMA begins anew, as well. If they would dump Scryed to FLCL's slot I can go to sleep a little early for a while!

I saw this list on the as website too. I would've added it to my NGE thread but someone had to lock it for no reason. Anyway I'm glad I have something to watch Thursday nights now although with school and everything...

2nd Gig will be debuting either in September, or close enough to September for it not to make any difference. Not to mention it was one of the big ratings draws alongside Fullmetal Alchemist, and what better way to bring the numbers back to Saturday than by giving people the returns (with new episodes) of two big, proven winners? They'll be returning in September, s-CRY-ed will be continuing for another dozen weeks or more past that, and Inu-Yasha debuts will, more than likely, be continuing for as long or longer. And really, do you honestly think sticking a new show at 1:30 would be a good move? They're pushing it by having Paranoia Agent on at 1, so why suggest they spread their new material even later into the night when the viewership's bound to be so low that few would care? They'll get more viewers with Evangelion on at a semi-reasonable hour during the week than at an unreasonable hour during the weekends. |

Well, I was just trying to think how I would organize the night. Since Samurai Champloo will still have about a dozen episodes left, as does Scryed, and it seems that FMA is starting at Midnight, that implies that Samurai Champloo or Inuyasha will be aired at 11:30. My rundown would be: 11:30 Samurai Champloo (~13 more episodes) 12:00 Fullmetal Alchemist 12:30 Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig 01:00 Inuyasha 01:30 Scryed (~13 more episodes) It is possible they might try to move Inuyasha to 11:30 and Samurai Champloo at 1:30, but I'd really hope they wouldn't do that. I was ticked when they shunted Paranoia Agent to 1:00 instead of keeping it after Samurai Champloo. |

Samurai Champloo's taking a hiatus after it reaches the 13 or so episode mark. It won't be running alongside Fullmetal, 2nd Gig, Inu-Yasha, & s-CRY-ed.

Now why would AS do that?

Probably because Samurai Champloo is one of the lower-rated shows of the evening, combined with the fact that Geneon's on this kick lately of only giving networks 13 episodes of a series at a time anyway. I reckon around second quarter 2006, they'll bring it back with the last 13 episodes. Likely around the completion of Fullmetal & 2nd Gig.

Ouch. If they're only airing the first 13 episodes of Champloo...13 is Part 1 of a 2 part episode, and...well, with the ending it gets, it suffices to say that the fans will not be pleased.
The same thing happened with Gungrave, I recall...That was Geneon too, right? Quite annoying, really. |

Are there other networks than CN and G4 that have been shafted... er, I mean pleasantly told to restrict the episodes? (The only other station I know of that plays Geneon / Pioneer anime is Encore Action, but they only seem to have Hellsing, and that's 13 episodes anyway. I'm just curious if there are other networks or syndications getting the same treatment.) |

Not that I know of. Like you said, Cartoon Network & G4 are pretty much the only networks who've dealt with Geneon in the past couple years regarding series longer than 13 episodes. It should probably also be noted that when they were called Pioneer, Geneon didn't pull this stunt; remember that the Tenchi Muyo! TV series ran in full the entire time, among other shows.
