The Click - May 3 - 9

Please allow me to show my frustration towards Adult Swim. Um, Inu Yasha? Seriously? Show some damn Trinity Blood or Blood+! I was looking forward to them rerunning Blood+ during the weekday, then they redid their weekday schedule with no anime. I want Blood+ back! Or Eureka 7... I'll settle for either.

Not sure about Dragonball, but considering the first part of it's manga series was about 16 volumes long and the Dragonball anime was 100+ episodes as well, not to mention when it got to that point in Z, yeah, I'd say it falls under that category as well.

Would that be her massive boobage? Cause if so, she might have problems with the dub version. So far she's only appeared in the ending credits, which have alternated each & every episode with her chest being edited & unedited. So one wonders how she'll look when she appears in the actual show.

Too bad 4Kids ruins it.

Wow, it takes that long for the anime to run up to that point in the story? I'm glad I chose to read the manga.

Actually, 62 episodes for about 20 or so volumes of manga material is pretty good compared to other series at that same point. Naruto was just crossing the 100 episode mark at that same 20 volume point, and One Piece minus the filler arc at that same point was just over the 100 episode point as well. Hunter X Hunter never made it to that point in the anime, but if it had indeed done the chimera ant arc it probably would've been in the area of late 90s or so, once again pretty close to the 100 episode mark. Not sure about Dragonball, but considering the first part of it's manga series was about 16 volumes long and the Dragonball anime was 100+ episodes as well, not to mention when it got to that point in Z, yeah, I'd say it falls under that category as well.

We may (rightly) bash 4Kids all the time, but at least when they decide to censor/digitally-edit something they do a 95%+ job of it. She moves (normal,) she is viewed from behind (normal,) form the side (normal,) there is a crease in her shirt (normal,) she and everything else is completely still and viewed directly from the front (edited with blatent digital square of doom.) I know there isn't much they can do about the crisp/dancing edge effect from a digital edit on an analog source, but it made the ham-fisted crap ADV pulls before putting some of their shows On Demand look like expert craftsmanship. No wonder Nebs couldn't figure out how she would turn out.

If I remember correctly, Adult Swim's rights to air Trinity Blood expired a while back, as wel as Eureka Seven.

Or at least they will expire very soon.

Well you got a point there. At least 4Kids' edits are well done & consistent. Viz was all over the place with this episode of Blue Dragon. After checking out the Japanese version of this episode, I posted a video on YouTube on the major points of what was edited/changed/censored in this ep:

Good job & yup, you're right! No boob grabbing & the insults are only about Kluke's "weakness", not lack of boobage or boring panties. I haven't played the dub through, but I'll do so later. Whatever they use as "bait", it won't be undies...

I guess Adult Swim decided to switch schedules at the last moment, 'cause the moved Code Geass up to 1AM. I missed all but the last minute and a half because their site schedule is so hard to read. I've been writing a research paper on Germany for the last fourteen *straight* hours, and I was planning on taking a half hour to revel in supernatural-themed mayhem and maybe eat...and I am not a happy camper at the moment.

*sigh* I wish they would work these things out with a little more warning for viewers.

The Dragon Ball anime ran for 153 episodes, which did cover 16 volumes of material. The next four volumes went up to around episode 35 in the DBZ anime. That's 188 episodes for 20 volumes including filler material like stretched battles and mini-storylines added for the anime. However, DB volumes held more chapters than Bleach and most of the other shonen series of today due to the installments being a few pages shorter (Toriyama did about 15 or so a week as opposed to today's 18-20). *takes off my DB nerd thinking cap*

Actually...you have a good point . I guess I was just in a 26-episode frame of mind when I wrote that post (the only three shows I've watched that last longer than one "season" are GitS S.A.C., FMA, and Rurouni Kenshin -- and I'm in the process of watching Death Note as it releases), so my knee-jerk reaction to hearing 62 episodes is "Whoa! That's a long time!" But now that I think about it, approximately 3 episodes per manga volume is a good clip.
