NEWS: Code Geass R2 Anime Sequel to Run on Adult Swim in U.S.

R2 isn't even finished in Japan, while here...the first series hasn't finished airing, and we already get an announcement...?

I wouldn't describe it as "a bit more weird," more like a complete mess. The first season is beyond great. Every episode raises the bar and it just makes you crave the next episode more. The second season totally screwed up the series. The story is all over the place and it just doesn't feel anything like the first season. All of the characters are a bit off too, especially Lelouch. It is quite sad actually.

Besides that, I do like the speed in which we are getting the second season. Although, it is easier for Bandai shows to come to the US since Bandai has an American branch.

About x CN/Adult swim get a decent line-up. I haven't seen one this nice since the old,classic toonami days(1999-2003).

What I meant by "weird content" was that there's more underwear shots and booty shots and possibly naked people.

In fact such early licensing and/or broadcasting are not uncommon these days.

Boourns! Boourns!

God, this show is so bad! We don't need more of it!

I love the increase in drama that the second season brings, but I think Sunrise just tried to pack too much content into the second season. Situations aren't written out as well as the could've been. The first season had the opposite problem: not enough plot to fill out the entire series. I mean, did we really need Mao?

Great news, though. Anime is crossing the Pacific at a faster rate.

One could argue that CN/Adult swim has never had a decent line-up.

What? Eureka seveN wasn't good enough for you? Or Samurai Champloo? Or FMA? Or Paranoia Agent?

God, everytime I hear someone complain about the AS anime offerings, I just scoff in disgust. It never seems to be enough for people.

You misunderstand me. I was simply saying that not everyone agrees with what airs on Adult Swim in an oblique fashion. I've always enjoyed Adult Swim's anime schedule, when I could catch them - Oh, excluding FMA - and I make sure to watch Code Geass every week to add ratings.

Perhaps one day they'll air the Tenchi Muyo OVAs once more (though they never were on Adult Swim proper, were they?).

My opinion of the show (and especially the changes made for the American adaptation of it) aside, it is nice to see that the second season has already been confirmed.
