[Lighthammer]

Hey all,

I don't frequent this forum much. I don't see any posts about the current coming plans of anime on AS.

Does anyone have the cliff notes version of the current outlook / rumor mill for AS Anime?

So far there are no new anime series coming . The only thing new are episodes of Bleach and Moribito .

A bump a few months ago said that Kim Manning went to Japan to look for new anime. The hour of new Bleach is doing really well, so well that AS has acknowledged it multiple times. New Moribito starts in a couple months.

Funimation has rights to bothe FMA: Brotherhood and Soul Eater, which both could do real well.

Yeah, these are the only two anime I can see Adult Swim picking up between now and fall 2010.

Thats kinda sad considering we're seeing some really good series pop up on Hulu and Crunchyroll.

Maybe we could cross our fingers for at least seeing a GI Joe series soonish.

Guess Buso Renkin's rumor was a flop guys!

[firecrouch]

I heard at AX that FUNimation's gonna have some big updates on "Soul Eater".

[Kuromi_Star]

They could possibly get the rights to play EVA 1.0 considering they aired the series.

I heard theyre not interested in movies anymore.

Well, they had a bump that said "We're not that interested in what's coming out in Japan nowadays, which is why there hasn't been much new anime."

Personally, I can't blame them. Oh, for the '90s when Japanese creators were hooked on Western culture and not on the moe craze that's gripped fanboys for years.

Well, in the future they'll likely air FMA:B and InuYasha Part 2, a revival and a continuation of the two highest-rated anime they ever aired (AFAIK)...

I still say Soul Eater is also a possibility, though.

It has more to do with interest if anything at this point Since ratings last month proved that all [adult swim] needs is to depend on Bleach, it also depends on the timeslot if anything remember FMA and Inuyasha weren't on 1am in the morning four years ago.

And I say you're being unrealistically optimistic.

Remember the big picture.

I'm not being "unrealistically optimistic", I'm saying that any series they go with now is going to be what has worked in the past, that being FMA and InuYasha. I just count Soul Eater as an extension of FMA's popularity.

Being unrealistically optimistic would be saying that Williams Street will transform Saturday Nights into a new Toonami with hours of new material and heavy promotion across the board. But no, I don't believe that will happen, and why should it?

Honestly, I don't know what the "big picture" is, no one really does (and if you do, please, enlighten me). All I know is that a new FMA series and new InuYasha episodes have a better chance than any other anime out there of airing on Adult Swim at the moment.

According to this post on the AS Boards by a Swim Insider "LittleBumperStriker" says that AS no longer has rights to Shin Chan. I hope that this is a just rumor.

As I've said previously, Shin Mazinger >>> Moribito.

Realistically, they're just burning what's left.

[Sprocket]

Yeah, but how would you sell a series like Mazinger to a Western audience? The built-in base for a Go Nagai 1970s style robot show isn't exactly substantial.

I hate saying that, because by God, it's Imagawa doing more of his magic for classic robots, but I'm just being realistic.

As for FMA or Inu-Yasha, the potential either series has is up to the network, I suppose. But with the anime craze having cooled off years ago, I'm not holding my breath: they'll stick with what's safe, I think: comedy.

I'd sell the sheer over the top nature of it, but I too am being realistic in saying AS is just burning through what's left of their material.
