ASA Saturdays- What are you looking forward to the most?

**The Dark Gundam** · 05-22-2005, 05:19 PM

I figure you all know about it. Adult Swim is finally making Saturdays all action once again for the first time in about a year. I'm seriously hoping that it doesn't fail like it did last year. So what are you looking forward to the most? Personally(Many of you will kill me for this), I'm looking forward to the Inuyasha new episodes to the most, because of what I've heard about the upcoming Arc.

Here's basically what I'm looking forward to in order:
1. Inuyasha new episodes
2. Samurai Champloo
3. s-CRY-ed
4. FLCL(I've never seen it)
5. Paranoia Agent
6. Trigun
7. Case Closed(I don't think I'll even get close to catching this.)
8. Lupin III

So, what about you?

**Sketch** · 05-22-2005, 05:23 PM

1) Samurai Champloo
2) Paranoia Agent
3) Inuyasha
4) s.Cry.ed
5) FLCL

The rest... doesn't really matter.

Samurai Champloo has been an awesome show, so I'm really looking forward to that the most. I'd have to say that Inuyasha comes in second, since everyone's been saying they'll be airing the best part of the series. As far as the other shows go, I really don't know what to expect, but s-CRY-ed sure looks a lot better to me than Paranoia Agent.

**KnightusMaximus** · 05-22-2005, 07:35 PM

Though Conan is one of my favorite animes, I wouldn't look forward to it or Lupin on Saturday specifically as it's on every other [adult swim] day and they're reruns. And of course Trigun has been repeated so many times..

1) Samurai Champloo
2) New Inuyasha
3) Paranoia Agent
4) S-Cry-Ed

**True Noir** · 05-22-2005, 07:41 PM

I've seen S-cry-ed and it's a great anime, but what I would be looking forward to the most if I would be here to watch it is Paranoia Agent and the Samurai Champloo. I've heard a lot of good things about Paranoia Agent and I'm sad that I have to miss it.

**Zach** · 05-22-2005, 07:47 PM

FLCL. I love that anime for some reason... it's a bit short, though...

**PaQ** · 05-22-2005, 07:58 PM

1) Samurai Champloo
2) Paranoia Agent
3) S-cry-ed
4) Inuyasha

These are probably the shows that will interest me the most. I've seen some of Champloo so I know what to expect, PA has had good reviews so I want to see it, and S-cry-ed seems intriguing from what I've heard about it.

**Shnay** · 05-22-2005, 08:06 PM

I'm really interested to see what Paranoia Agent is all about. I've heard a lot of good things about it here and there, and it sounds like it could be my kind of show.

s-Cry-ed (anyone want to explain to me what this name is all about?) doesn't look like my type of show, and Inuyasha doesn't interest me. I want to see the rest of Samurai Champloo, but there's nothing in the story that has me eagerly waiting for new episodes. It's more of something fun to watch at night, rather than invest myself in to get the full, complex storyline.

**Rabi~en~Rose** · 05-22-2005, 08:18 PM

FLCL is all I'll be taping & making sure to watch all the rest is missable

SC has 3 more chances and PA & Scryed will have 5 to

**Youko Recca** · 05-22-2005, 08:43 PM

Come saturday ASA will be the strongest it's been in awhile, possibly ever. With four strong shows premiering and two strong ones rerunning for their first time. And the return of a fan favorite. In order I go....

Paranoia Agent
Samurai Champloo
Scryed
Inuyasha

Have obviously seen everything else, but FLCL is always a fun watch. With finals there is no concievable way I'd be able to see Lupin or Conan, and I don't have tape space either. Trigun isn't really a necessity.

Every episode of Scryed begins with a dream of that girl that sees more than see knows!

scry

( P ) Pronunciation Key (skr

)
intr.v. scried, (skr

d) scry·ing, scries (skr

z) To see or predict the future by means of a crystal ball.
[Short for descry.]

I know the Engrish is not correct, as it was suppose to be scried. But we can tell clearly that every episode is seen through the eyes of Kanami Yuta, as she said: 'I dreamed last night that...'

There is also the possibility the anime crew merely scrambled 'descry' and moved scry to the front...
descry \dih-SKRY\, transitive verb:
1. To catch sight of, especially something distant or obscure; to discern.
2. To discover by observation; to detect.

On a clear day, if there was no sun, you could descry (but barely) the ships roving out at anchor in Herne Bay and count their masts.
--Ferdinand Mount, Jem (and Sam)

The future appears to us neither as impenetrable darkness nor as broad daylight, but rather in a half-light, in which we can descry the rough form of the nearest objects, and vague outlines farther off.
--Robert Conquest, Reflections on a Ravaged Century

How does that relate to people with superpowers? Watch and find out.

**The Landstander** · 05-22-2005, 09:10 PM

Paranoia Agent sounds like fun. Samurai Champloo hasn't grabbed my attention yet, but I don't dislike it...so I really have no opinion on it.

**Chrono1995** · 05-22-2005, 09:11 PM

Scryed doesn't look like my thing...at all. But I'll gladly watch SC and PA then put it on mute and explore the vast, slightly perverted regions of the internet until FLCL comes on. Or just watch Comedy Central.

**Demonic Raven** · 05-22-2005, 09:20 PM

1) Samurai Champloo
2) s.CRY.ed
3) New Inuyasha
4) FLCL
5) Paranoia Agent

Samurai Champloo has been nothing but awesomeness, so that tops my list. I've been wanting to see s.CRY.ed for a while now, and the upcoming arc in Inuyasha sounds like it will be good. It'll be awesome to see FLCL again. Paranoia Agent doesn't sound like my kind of show, but it should be interesting anyway.

**Anime Guy** · 05-22-2005, 10:03 PM

1.Samurai Champloo
2.Paranoia Agent
3.FLCL
4.Scryed
5.Inuyasha

Knowing the kind of series Inuyasha is, I'm not looking forward to it much. Samurai Champloo has just been awesome so far and I'm really looking forward to Paranoia Agent since Perfect Blue was cool. FLCL is a cool returning favorite of mine and Scryed certainly sounds interesting.

**Freedom Fighter** · 05-22-2005, 10:23 PM

Only counting shows with new episodes...

1) Samurai Champloo
2) Inuyasha
3) Paranoia Agent
4) Scryed

Champloo has a two-week head start and it's done enough to catch my interest. Inuyasha would be #1 if the last batch of episodes weren't so boring... the hype for the next set was enough to keep it solidly in the 2 spot, though. PA sounds like it'll be as much of a psychological and mental thriller that GitS:SAC was, so it might be worth a watch. The promos for Scryed haven't enamoured me, unfortunately, but I'll still give the show a try.

**SexyPJ** · 05-23-2005, 01:13 AM

I don't get Inuyasha. I am just getting into anime though so maybe that has something to do with it.

**Djm912** · 05-23-2005, 01:14 AM

Since everyone else seems to be slurping FLCL, I'll finally try and check it out.

**Zyzzybalubah** · 05-23-2005, 01:17 AM

1.) Samurai Champloo (Really Digging this show)
2.) Paranoia Agent (Seems very interesting.)
3.) sCRYed (Not as interested, but it's a new anime acquisition, got to give it a look.)
4.) FLCL (Haven't seen this in awhile.)
5.) Whatever (Not an InuYasha fan at all, I've seen Trigun enough times, own most Lupin DVDs and for that and Case Closed, as much as I like both, I can't stay up or wake up at 4 AM.
