I don't think length is a factor in slotting the shows. Inu with 52 new episodes and Wolf's Rain with 26 episodes are both long shows that will run on Saturdays from April into Oct. I also thought they'd run shorter series on weekends and the long ones on weeknights, but that doesn't seem to be the case. (^_*)

By putting Inuyasha on a Saturday only run, they will be stretching out their supply of episodes.
On one hand, it's irrating for them to do this after Inuyasha has been on 4 nights a week for most of it's runs. (It has been on the once a week run before, way back when) But on the other hand, this will make the new episodes last longer and perhaps the Inuyasha fans won't start a riot. (I love that screen card that says they're surprised that a mini-riot doesn't break out during the 4 minute commercial break) However, using this reasoning, the fans will probably complain about the once-a-week-ness. Maybe by putting Inuyasha on once a week, Viz is going to try to get their DVD releases ahead of the episodes airing on CN, like how Funimation is doing with Dragonball GT or Yu Yu Hakusho. |

Maybe getting two episodes back-to-back will appease them.
Or not. |

I don't think that'll happen. The DVDs will catch up to the number of episodes CN has aired at about the same time CN premieres new episodes. Two new episodes a week means approximately eight new episodes a month, and since Viz is releasing the equivalent of one DVD a month (specifically, two DVDs every two months), the TV showing will pull ahead again of the DVD releases. I think this is just a way to help Viz with the dubbing. Viz did step up its dubbing schedule of "Inuyasha", but even now I don't think they have the next 52 episodes finished. Remember what happened last time? During the first 52 episodes, "Inuyasha" was only on Saturdays. Then when AS made the leap to weekdays, the show went faster on TV than Viz could dub, hence why they only aired the first 36 during the initial run (I can confirm this because I actually got an emial from the English producer of "Inuyasha" mentioning it). So the move to weekends is more than likely a way to help Viz get the episodes to AS on time. We don't want the "Spawns of Satan" complaining again, now do we?

Or maybe comedy comes first because Comedy ratings > anime ratings. |

Let's not fight over this now, it's not that important, nor is it necessary, nor does it really matter. |

What do they mean by showing 2 episodes?
...followed by the first of the new of Inu Yasha episodes at 11:30, two episodes will be shown. |

It basically means we'll get 1 episode that is a re-run, then we will get a new episode. |

Uhh, I think it is two new episodes.
At that pace (2 new, every Saturday) it will take 26 weeks (6 months) to show all the new episodes. I doubt that will keep the Inuyasha fans happy. |

For those that still don't believe this thread, the entire news list straight from the cards themselves:
1. We really do hate you 2. Unfortunately, we do read all the viewer cards 3. Cats really are delicious 4. The whole Big O Eps. 26 thing was a mistake 5. except for the second time 6. There is no adult swim "SURVIVOR" 7. The Brak show is still cancelled 8. No, Inuyasha is not 9. The Big O does run on a microscopic battery 10. Hitting people with guitars may not be as fun as it sounds, but it is as fun as it looks. 11. Tim Duncan is not really a robot 12. Underpants are overrated 13. Though the show is great, Inuyasha fans are the spawn of Satan 14. That guy watching you poop might not always be Jeff Goldblum 15. We are geting Witch Hunter Robin (Feb. 16th) 16. There is no DVD of the cards 17. yet. 18. Once Upon a Time in the West is the best western ever made. 19. We are really that cool. 20. Lupin is Good 21. so is Reign 22. Adult Swim is expanding into Saturday later this year (4/17) 23. Action packaging is changing to a visual vocabulary 24. Yes, that does mean pictures 25. Contrary to popular belief, we are not monkeys 26. We've also landed one of Japan's most popular shows, Detective Conan 27. We really do have a giant Big O in our hallway. (Not that we lied about it before. we just like bragging about it.) 28. "ANIMATRIX" coming to an [adult swim] near you, check your local listings for details 29. The Hilton sisters are not that hot. 30. Their money is. 31. MC Chris is the shnixle! 32. Tupac is not dead. We happen to know he's living in a Vegas condo with Biggie and Elvis. 33. New episodes of Inuyasha starting in March/April. 34. We're excited too, but you Inuyasha fans can all stop humping your television sets 35. "Wolf's Rain" coming in April 36. Mr. T is the greatest actor of our time 37. Sliced bread is not so cool as that whole "greatest thing since sliced bread" idiom might suggest 38. Watching "Home Movies" will make you a better person. 39. We confess we are not single handedly responsible for the extinction of the Dodo. 40. But you don't see them making a comeback do you? 41. You're welcome. |

Hmm. Based on this description, it'll be very interesting to see how AS handles the edits. Will it get cut up beyond what's necessary, edited by the standards so far, or set a new precedence on what's acceptable on AS? (maybe the first TV-M show on AS?) FLCL set a new precedent on acceptable dialogue; maybe DC will do that on violence. Bringing the Animatrix on will definitely boost AS's credibility abroad. People not necessarily familiar with AS, but familiar with Animatrix will see AS in a new light. (Provided they don't slice and dice too much) |

Only if FUNi and CN don't have a misscommuncation like what happened with Blue Gender. |

I wouldn't be surprised if "Conan" is Funi's way of saying to everyone, "Sorry about what happened with 'Blue Gender'. Here, how about some 'Detective Conan'?"

2004 is already a good year for me and this only makes it even better. Any word yet if there going to dub the movies yet? I hope they take there time otherwise they(Viz) might botch the series if they rush and we wouldn't want that would we? I'm looking forward to all the other series I never even heard of like Wolf's Rain, Det.Conan and somewhat heard of WHR.
