>.> Not much to find on Google regarding what it might look like, lol. With Young Justice and Teen Titans gone (original form), I'm hoping they haven't left all of the mature shows to the late night blocks. Mature as in 13 years or older not 18-21 years or older (e.g. Adult Swim).

We all know that Stuart Snyder (CEO of CN since 2007's Boston bomb scare concerning the Aqua Teen movie) doesn't WANT action shows on there, unless they're based on toys/video games or they're Ben 10. And many other action shows are canceled because of "low toy sales".

In fact, people are right to blame him for every dumb decision he's made:

1. Showing new episodes of shows like the widely hated Ben 10: Omniverse, Johnny Test, and Grojband at early mornings like 3am on Boomerang before Cartoon Network (actually, 2 new episodes of Omniverse aired on Boomerang before Cartoon Network on Dec. 1, 2012 at 1p)

2. Frantically removing DC Nation for 3 months back in October for no reason

3. Trying to cancel action shows after they pick them up (actually most other networks do this as well)

I have a feeling that this will be replacing Scan2Go once that ends in a few months.

So this might be done by Bones.

I can only hope that Spin Master decides to give it a decent dub, since there's a chance this may air in the US before Japan. If it does air there.

So I'm guessing Spin Master and Cartoon Network have no plans on continuing the Bakugan series?

Bakugan is being continued, but only in Japan at the moment... And it's one of Shopro's short CGI produced shows. Oddly enough, the last season of Battle Brawlers never aired there.

As it is my goal to watch every show produced by Studio BONES,. I will be watching this, but honestly, this wasn’t the news I was wanting to hear. From the sound of it, it will be a children’s show, what with a massive amount of marketing and all. Of course it will still have amazing animation, but I was hoping for something darker, and more in line with my tastes. But, I’ll take what I can get!

It's a 52 episode series. Are you surprised?

And I neglected to say that CN/Adult Swim now airs EVERYTHING in widescreen; even episodes/shows produced in 4:3 (Standard Definition)

People always say "executives hate X" if something fails, but I assumed it was because it wasn't doing well, not whether the people behind it hate or like something.

Of course, I've been kinda upset that non-toyetic, not really "kiddie" anime can't be successful and stuff like Sym-Bionic Titan, Thundercats and Motorcity can't be either. It makes it harder for me to see the stuff I want out of American animation and the stuff I get out of Japanese animation doesn't do as well over here.

I kinda wish there was an uncut (well, dubbed uncut then edited for TV, like Naruto or Rurouni Kenshin as opposed to being edited dub only) on Cartoon Network still.

I'm long past the days when I thought Bones could do no wrong, but I still make a point to check out at least the first episode of every show they make. That's why I'll give Tenkai Knights a chance, but I'm about as disappointed as you are.

Bones hasn't had a hit show in Japan since Star Driver, and even something that looked like a surefire hit like Eureka Seven AO ended up underperforming, so I suppose they must be pretty keen to work on something that won't depend entirely on DVD/BD sales to make its money back.
