Adult Swim Action DID cut off Inuyasha's and other OPenings permananetly!

[Masha]

I don't know about you guys, but I am so angry!!! Intact and original openings was one of the best things that attacted me to Adult Swim, and now they are turning it into Toonami with its stupid clips/openings all over again! I personally will email to Adult Swim producers and complain, and to those who do like original openings over Toonami-like openings I suggest you do the same! Otherwise Adult Swim will first assume that we either like their clips/like openings or don't care about original openings, and will cut them off permanantly and from other new shows as well! Even with intact openings and endings Anime episode is about 23 min max. More than enough for 3 commercial breaks!
Besides, the same thing could happen to Adult Swim as to Toonami, first the openings, then no new shows, and quality is gone! If you care then do something!!!!

I knew it would be like this. From this point on, I will download anime in place of watching it on AS. I have no purpose for such a disgrace to anime fans.

Yu Yu Hakusho is the ONLY anime I will watch on Adult Swim from this point on, unless CN tells FUNi to cut the intro from those tapes as well. Inu-Yasha is now on my "DOWNLOAD THIS" list, although I'll download it as well.

Don't complain to CN. What we need to do is contact the advertisers. Tell them that we won't watch Adult Swim because of this, and advise them to stop supporting a block that claims to cater to anime fans or adults in general. If we can cut off their advertising because of this act, they have no choice but to act.

Advertisments that aired during Inu-Yasha:
Superman: Shadow of Apokalypse (Infogrames/DC Comics)
1-800-CALL-ATT
Butterfinger
The Sims - EA Games
NEXT - PS2

It looks to me like it's all advertiser-based. They cut the schedule listing before the show returns. If advertisers stop supporting AS because of this, they'll have no choice but to return the ads.

omg im so pissed off man i like seeing original openings/english versions of the themes whats their email?

[Masha]

Well, I don't know about you but I won't be watching endless re-runs of Outlaw Star, Gundams, and Cowboy Bebop if I can't see the original openings, and speaking of censuring Adult Swim still haven't shown episode 23 of Outlaw Star. What relaxing of censuring are you speaking of?

[Achika]

This stinks. I suppose I'll have to download Inuyasha second intro someplace to see what it's like. Anyone know where I could find it?

sweet we still got YYH theme

I hope that was sarcastic.

The OPs are nice, but they're not crucial to the plot of the story, nor do they serve a purpose other than crediting the people that worked on the show(which the end credits do anyway), and look pretty.

Nice to know you combat this by breaking the law. I get mad when our local candy store takes Sour Patch Kids off the shelf, but that doesn't mean I go to a neighboring store with a gun and rob them blind.

Don't complain to CN. What we need to do is contact the advertisers.

Threaten to boycott the advertisers, and all they'll do is go elsewhere. You think they give a crap about Adult Swim? Adult Swim is a tiny speck in the universe of adult television to them.

The reason I think they got rid of the opening is well it was turning adults off of the show... I mean come on the opening looks like it is aimed at the Toonami audience with its music and some of the parts of it. WS was just worried that this would scare away more watchers than do any good...

[Will Sturnick]

I don't why but I makes me mad too. I enjoy seeing/hearing the opening themes. And the clip openings are just stupid. I guess lots of people will be deprieved of Inuyasha's 2nd and 3rd opening thmes "I am" and "Owarinai Yume", which are both awesome opening themes.

[Killtacular]

Silly nothing. They don't want to PAY for their anime.

the correct term is censoring.

They are not censoring anything! It's just a theme song! It's not like they pulled a DBZ and cut a whole character and remove references to the afterlife.

I thought I was the only one who thought that. Sure, I'll miss "Tank!", but that's about it.

this is funny. worrying if scenes with blood will be edited and then the uproar over the show opening. this is televised anime... this isn't like watching a dvd.

it seems like they have relaxed their editing standards, but no... it's not appreciated. instead, everyone has their underwear in a tear because the show doesn't have the original opening.

wow.

The OPs were what seperated this from Toonami. We KNOW they have them. We KNOW they're holding back. I see no reason to watch Adult Swim if they're going to hold back PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE material without even ACKNOWLEDGING their reasoning behind it.

We have a right to be pissed about this. This is completely unjustified.

[GPietrash]

"I don't know why, but it makes me mad too"?

Stop being so reactionary. Yeah, the openings are great and all that, but I would rather have those removed than have edits made during the show for time. Boycotting AS is a bit extreme. Maybe you should watch a show for it's content, rather than the 30 second snippet at the beginning.

I agree with you, all these people *****ing and moaning about nothing.

Big Freaken deal. You want see the opening? then download the opening and play it before you start watching each episode!

Or buy the DVD!

Hell, when I watch my DVDs I always skip over the opening/closing/next ep preview. Its not that big of a deal.

As much as I don't like the fact that Adult Swim nixed the openings, as much as I feel they brought a sense of maturity to Adult Swim, I am not going to be bothered by this to the point where I complain* about it like an otaku. The openings are just that: openings. They are not crucial to the show as a whole (emphasize on "as a whole") and therefore shouldn't be considered butchery.

Still, I would love to see them return, and thus I encourage anyone who doesn't like this change to email Cartoon Network and tell them how you feel about it. Make your voice heard. Let them know that Adult Swim Action isn't Adult Swim Action without the openings. But for God's sake, don't stop watching the shows just because the openings are nixed. An opening doesn't make or break a show; it's the show itself. Hell, if I based my opinion of "Inu-Yasha" on the opening, I would've stopped watching it a long time ago.

In my experience, people live by one of two phrases:

"Life's too short to complain* a lot."
or
"Life's too short; complain* a lot."

Which one are you?

*Note: I wanted to use a certain word to really get my point across, but for obvious reasons I couldn't.

[Killtacular]

The OPs were what seperated this from Toonami.

Besides virtually-uneditted anime, the ORIGINAL music, the ORIGINAL endings, and advertising that ISN'T for Barbie dolls?

We KNOW they have them. We KNOW they're holding back. I see no reason to watch Adult Swim if they're going to hold back PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE material without even ACKNOWLEDGING their reasoning behind it.

Or you could give them a CHANCE to acknowledge. It's only been a week, and it's not like they can actually state their reasons on air. No network does that. I'm sure someone with connections can find out why.

We have a right to be pissed about this. This is completely unjustified.

It may be unjustified, but I don't consider it a crime.

A greater crime was showing stuff in the 0083 commercials that was editted out of the actual show. Of course, they've made up for their mistakes by now.

[NewLib]

And there was quite a lot of blood in Inu-Yashu today...

Really? I always thought it showed shows like "Cowboy Bebop". Some were pissed that in Friday's "G Gundam" Chibodee and Jorge's "death scene" was rewritten due to Jorge's refernences to wine. Shows like "Yu Yu Hakusho" would be hacked worse than that.

You could watch it to enjoy the show and actually support it.

I doubt that it's unjustified. They don't make decisions like this just to piss off anime fans. Though I think it would be kinda funny if I were able to jerk around people like this.

And when has CN openly acknowledged the reasons behind stuff like this? Do you expect them to make a special on-air announcement when they decide to do something like this?

I just watch the show for the show. Anything else is gravy. I don't even care if it's edited a little so long as the most of the original ideas are presented.

[Achika]

Well now, what is this?

The lack of Inuyashas 1:30 minute intro has left enough time for some ridiculous '70's looking cartoon with baby speech and it lasted, guess how long?

...... I am very dissatisfied.

edit:

Bebops intro has mysteriously vanished only to be replaced by a simple title screen.
