Thank GOD! Now I don't have to pay those ridiculous Aniplex DVD prices to watch this, I can just catch it on AS. Way to go AS you're doing something good for once in awhile.

On the one hand, this is AWESOME, on the other hand.... I own the DVDs already.... and I'm still irritated about spoiler[Bang!Zoom's Isaac/Miria.]

And then they'll cancel it after episode 4, or continually change its timeslot so no one can remember when it's on.

Awful timeslot, awful ratings, little promotion, status quo after the first airing.

But hey, more anime airing on American television.

Subbed or dubbed? I'm guessing the former, because the dubbed streams can't even be official.

Please tell me this is something they picked up now, and wasn't the third anime that was supposed to premier in September.

InuYasha fans such as myself are already frustrated enough from the lack of news from VIZ Media.

Anyway, this is interesting. Definitely going to check it out even though I already saw the series on Crunchyroll.

*jaw drops to the ground*

...*then picks jaw back up* Wait, wait, wait, wait. This is wonderful news and all, but why now? Why have Adult Swim pay money to broadcast the show when I think all 3 parts of the show have been released on DVD by now? I thought the concept is license, dub, have the show broadcasted to a network and then release it on DVD. Is this just how Aniplex does things differently or something? Because I don't recall Viz Media, Funimation or even Bandai getting a show broadcasted by a network after it's released on DVD. At least not to my recent knowledge.

Wondering aloud if Aniplex is paying Adult Swim to run the show, in order to move DVDs, rather than AS paying Aniplex for broadcast rights.

Enitrely possible that the US anime industry needs AS' exposure more than AS needs industry's content (AS has shown it's perfectly willing to fund new episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force from now until the Heat Death of the Universe, so why pay for anime?)

ADULT SWIM WILL NO LONGER HAVE TERRIBLE ANIME! Seriously the only good anime they have had in the past like 4 years is FMA Brotherhood.
