They should do the edit list again. It would be so cool. Maybe I can do my own edit lists fir shows that would be good on [as].

The main reason that edit lists are so seldom done these days is because anime that are aired on TV these days with heavy edits are few and far between. There's no point in making an Edit List for, say, Adult Swim's run of Fullmetal Alchemist when there's maybe one ridiculously small edit every twenty episodes, if that. There also needs to be a corresponding uncut DVD release to any series that receives an Edit List, so that edits done to dialogue have an official translation (not to mention an uncut dub) to be based on. It's near impossible to mark dialogue edits based on fansubs when they're A) amateur translation jobs, and B) any one show may have as many as a dozen fansub groups subbing it with as many wildly different translations.
And unfortunately, the vast majority of anime that do get heavily edited these days are not receiving uncut DVD releases to go along with them. Mainly because most edited anime these days are marketed to very young children, and anyone that's old enough to appreciate an uncut release has zero interest in them. And these are the same people that would also be reading Edit Lists, so why do them for shows that nobody reading cares about? I don't quite understand what you mean about doing Edit Lists for shows that "would be good" for Adult Swim. What's the point in speculating edits? How do you know for a fact what Adult Swim might edit should they have the itch to start running Lucky Star or Jigoku Shoujo? |

I always thought that American companies should start buying ideas off the Japanese and do their own versions of what's popular in Japan...
Here's a good one: A US version of Lucky*Star where Konota's a child refugee from war-torn Iraq, Shiraishi's a latino whose family adopts Konota, the Hiiragi twins are Slavic Christians, and Miyuki's black. And as for viral marketing; Shirashi works hard on getting that Chevrolet Camaro (with nods to Transformer Movie 07's Bumblebee). But you know... That's just me.
