If the ratings were any good then I'm sure they'll bring it back, but merchandise wise, SEED has been something of a lemon. Not really SEED's fault though, Gundam as a whole has been dropped outright from a few retail shelves (Target is only selling at select stores now and Walmart has moved all but the SDGF figures into clearance). A lot of people bame it on G Gundams over saturation in the market, the way they released the same toys over and over again in different packaging without making the more unique figures (the ones not part of the big 5) easier to get (and in some cases nearly impossible). I like G, but I agree, Bandai really damaged the franchise in the US with G. Kids young and old just got tired of there being nothing really new out there.

Yeah, but Gundam is always pretty popular. I don't think CN treats Gundam nearly as bad as you seem to think they do-the simple fact that they've poined up the dough for EIGHT different Gundam series should say something about their faith in the property. Not to mention that I have seen plenty of advertising for Seed, and it's actually the first show Toonami did a ninety second trailer for since the original run of Big O. I woulden't say they "dumped" SD Gundam considering the aired the entire thing like three or four times (don't remember how many times, since I was beyond sick of the piece of crud by the time it was taken off the air.) My guess is that we'll see the second half of Seed in 2005. The real question is, how will the (underrated) Christian Arc be handled? |

Um, I hate to seem nit-picky, but "Megas XLR" isn't an anime. ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361201/ )

I agree.
This sucks. There's absolutely no reason why ''Rurouni Kenshin" should be edited to such an extent. This a further proof that the name "Adult Swim" is a joke (or sarcasm, depending how you look at it). |

I don't follow you. Kenshin is going to toonami where the editing policies still apply. It's not like that Williams Street and just flip a switch to unedit Kenshin. Adult Swim is not really an option for Kenshin. |

Rurouni Cut-up ran on Toonami's afternoon incarnation. It's never been on Adult Swim. In fact, one or two higher-ups in charge of programming at Cartoon Network said in retrospect that they wished they had put Kenshin on Adult Swim because of the crowd it drew and (I think) the heavy editing done to make it "safe" for Toonami. |

I hope CN is only waiting for more seed episodes. I think seed was the best out of all the gundam series. Through I like Kenshin I'd much rather see seed.

Well I don't care to see Kenshin unless they show it subbed and uncut, so I'll take SEED. At least SEED's dub is better than Kenshin's, and aside from Andy's gun looking like a toy, the editing isn't too bad either... I guess..

i kinda hate to see Seed go for now, but I bet CN will bring it back when they have the rest of the episodes edited for TV. Also, CN tries and (I think) that they can only show so much before it gets too ahead of the DVD releases. Also, Nagisa wrote:
So my guess is they will get the rest of the episodes and finish it up. Even though I'm buying it on DVD it still is nice to have some Anime to watch because I dont get Anime Network and Techtv (G4Tech) costs extra now with my cable. Techtv has 1 good Anime that is Last Exile and i have most of that on DVD and I don't really like the English voice actors for the characters don't get my wrong about Crispin Freeman (spelling), but most of them I don't like. It's hard to believe the English voice actor ofr Lavie is the same person for Robin Sena in Witch Hunter Robin. well anyways it's nice to have a littel bit of a change in the schedule. Plus, Stand Alone Complex is coming and Fullmetal Alchemist will be on soon. Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) will be a nice change because I've never watched it all. |

The scedule is just too weak !! They have too much scooby-doo kinda programmin, they can add more anime without cancelling the shows we enjoy!! We need another channel to compete with the CN to let them find out who there true viewers are!!!!!!

Heh, their "true viewers" not only don't know what anime is, but they don't care either. We are talking about a network designed for elementary school kids. Emerje |

Apparently SEED was FAR from a flop on Toonami, but its performance just wasn't mind-blowingly spectacular. I'd be surprised if they didn't get the second half of the series by next year.
Hmm, I wonder if YTV licensed the entire series or just the first half. |
