If you could rename Adult Swim...

[CookieS]

Totally hypothetical non-important question I'll be posing here: What if you could rename Adult Swim? Would you rename it?

Non-Kid Sexy Good Time Fun Block

Done with lack of creativity on my part.

[Chad Bonin]

[the swim]

Sleek, sexy, and they even tried it for a while.

Tho, I wouldn't opposed to [toonami]...

[Beat]

"The Strip". No, that's taken.

"Toonami?" Nah, done before.

How about "Late night toon"? Still horribly unoriginal.

Peter & Stewie Hubb Lebowski Canti Zoidy Adult Cartoonie Block :cool:

[GMB]

"Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict."

Oh damn, that's taken already.

Curse you, Pink Floyd for ruining my chance to see them try to squeeze that mouthful in a few lines of Helvetica Neue.

[Swordfish_II]

"NO OPS FOR YOU!"

Who is programming block? Mike Lazzo's programming block!? How can that be?!?

[Bandit]

i didn't like the name "adult swim" at first, but now it's really grown on me and i like it as much as the name "toonami"

[Andrew T. Hingson]

The comedy I block I would call "The home of popular Fox and UPN rejects and Williams Street goodness"

I would call the action block "Teenage Fanboy Swim" what?... it's true

[Chad Bonin]

Oh, I so wanna bring up the old CNX joke for a mature Toonami block.

Let's just say it rhymes with... Toonami.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Teenami does rhyme with Toonami. That more eliteration.

[EightOh]

I wouldn't.


Let's just say it rhymes with... Toonami.I get it! I get it!

Monsoonami! HAHAHAHAAAAAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!OEN121~!1

[Karl Olson]

Allllll riiiiiight!

Wouldn't that block be a bit more.... H-material? ;)


To Hyper Luigi: Ok you Lynnwoodian schedule pimp, does this qualify as "Adult Swim"?

(all uncut, of course)

11:00 - Black Heaven
11:30 - Haibane Renmei
12:00 - Texhnolyze
12:30 - Mousou Dairinin (aka Paranoia Agent)
1:00 - Boogiepop Phantom
1:30 - Requiem from the Darkness

The launch would be this:

11:00 - La Portrait de Petite Cossette episode 1.
11:45 - La Portrait de Petite Cossette episode 2.
12:30 - La Portrait de Petite Cossette episode 3.
1:15 - La Portrait de Petite Cossette episode 4.

back on topic, I'd call the above block TVMAnimation.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I suppose it could but it surely qualifies as your wet dream.

[tucsoncoyote]

Hmmm interesting topic, what to call Adult Swim if it weren't Adult Swim...

Let's See

Late Night Adult Ani-toons ?-- Nah Too dumb..

Overnight Toons and Anime ?-- Nah Too Logical

Night Owl Naughtiness? -- No Too Racy..

HBO? -- Been there done that..:D

hmmmmm

How about...

Insomniac Theater... -- Nah Too Cliche..

Sleepless in Atlanta? -- Nah that's a Movie Title...

Anime Girls gone Wild? -- Nah can't use that..

(Give me time, I'll get something in my head..)

Nightmare of the Bizarre? -- Better, but still....

Toon Tease? -- Eh no...

Ah I got it...

LATE NIGHT ADULT SWIM! -- YEAH! That'll WORK!:D

Isn't Life wonderful???

:coyote:

[Chad Bonin]

I'm glad SOMEONE remembered that joke title. Who can forget it with that shot of the Tenchi girls as Playboy Bunnies...

Okay... how 'bout Adult Video Entertainment System? How ya like them apples?

[Lord Dalek]

Allllll riiiiiight!

Only one episode of Mousou could really be considered TVMA. The rest are pretty tame.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

PERFECT! But it wouldn't be complete without stealing Kenshin, .hack//SIGN, and Cyborg 009 from Toonami.

[Duke]

And the whole point of my suggested title just flew over everyone's heads, didn't it? Or was it too lame to even comment on?

[Chad Bonin]

Wait, no... get the rare Atari/Nintendo knowledge to use and call it the "Williams Street AVS".

Hey, y'all'd get original intros, hands-off packaging, no cards...

... I seriously wonder if people would prefer AVS over ASA.

[SirLemming]

"Adult's Whim"

Adult Swim sounds best as...Adult Swim. :D

World Famous Rudy and Gogo Cartoon Show

[Scatha_the_Worm]

TOONAMI SENIOR

"Fortified with all the romantic angst and cheap poop jokes that todays active Tweens need, but with none of the thought provoking, boundary pushing, FCC prodding content their delicate systems can't handle. Toonami Senior...strong enough for a man, but edited for a child."

[Mr. Pedro]

I say we call the whole thing "Whet" because no matter what AS may bring to us, our appetities will never truely be satisfied.

[Karl Olson]

Only one episode of Mousou could really be considered TVMA. The rest are pretty tame.

true that. a lot of the shows I list in that block only peek into TVMA, and some don't even break TV14 often (Haibane Renmei.)


I suppose it could but it surely qualifies as your wet dream.

Incorrect. An all philosophical, dystopian anime block would feel horribly unbalanced. This would be closer to my block preference for a mature animation block:

11:00 - Someday's Dreamers (cycle out later with NieA_7)
11:30 - Legend of Black Heaven (cycle out later with Gravitation)
12:00 - Haibane Renmei (cycle out later with Koi Kaze)
12:30 - Texhnolyze (cycle out later with Serial Experiments Lain, then Gasaraki)
1:00 - Mousou Dairinin (cycle out later with Boogiepop Phantom)
1:30 - Various Short OVAs (Blue Submarine #6, Zaion, Yukikaze, FLCL, La Portrait de Petit Cossette, Voices of A Distant Star.)

Call it PBSwim, because only a network not beholdant to ratings would air that. ;)

[Alaskanbullworm]

Miws Tluda - This way things go backward and Spike comes to life!

Bingo Hall - O 75!

Cartooblanca - What?

Mid-Night Crisis - Mid-knife Crisis, Mid-wife Crisis, Mid-life Crisis

Lazzorama - Theme song = lots of kazoos

[True Noir]

After reading all the names you guys have thought of .... Adult Swim sounds like an amazing name.

[HumanoidTyphoon]

Sluice-imation.....or maybe just Sluice.


After reading all the names you guys have thought of .... Adult Swim sounds like an amazing name.eh I think your right.

[Youko Recca]

Despite it being more tame, Paranoia Agent would still need to be on Adult Swim...we don't need kids trying what Shonen Bat does....if they even understand it.Just needed to blatantly make that clear.

[The Landstander]

After reading all the names you guys have thought of .... Adult Swim sounds like an amazing name.We have a winner

[Youko Recca]

We have a winner
We've had a winner all this time.We must have been blinded by the Cool Whip...

[goat_lord]

how 'bout the cartoon network late night comedy block, has kind of a vintage feel to it and it gets right to the point too

[Zyzzybalubah]

"Opposite of Cartoon Network Fridays, 6 Days A Week"
"Miguzi After Dark" (Both have/had the water theme)

[Karl Olson]

"Opposite of Cartoon Network Fridays, 6 Days A Week"
"Miguzi After Dark" (Both have/had the water theme)


Miguzi: 20,000th League - It's dark down here.















.......cheese.

[Artimus Gigan]

Cable Wedgie

[Disco Pete]

How about Spike (Spiegel) TV?

or Late Night with Quagmire?

Or maybe Ripping Time! hosted by the Ripping Friends!
No?

Working off of someone else's idea, I came up with Miguzi 2021!

Or Aqua Adult Hunger Block!

Dr. Weird's Animation Lab?

Scooby Doo-Free Zone? (Although not really, if you count that one HB:AAL episode)

Wait... I got the perfect idea!







Inuyasha and Friends!

*runs*

[Conan-san]

The Inuyaha and Bebop Power hour?

[Anime Guy]

"Cartoons with no cop-outs due to editing (for the most part)"

"The block that hopefully will be able to leave in "****" in the near future (change title when "****" is left in)"

"The adult, guns-to-heads pending, block"

"No need for edits"

"Editing is bastardization"

[Eddie G.]

AS comedy would be called Happy Hour.
Seikagami would be the new name for the Action block.

Adult Swim is a good name though.

[Will Sturnick]

Cartoon Network: After Hours

[Isondill]

Non-Kid Sexy Good Time Fun Block

Done with lack of creativity on my part.
I wouldn't rename it, but that would make a great [Adult Swim] tagline.

[CookieS]

Da Fo Block Fizzle Dizzle

[ClockStomper]

Hentai Happy Hour

[Jave]

That's easy: "Toon Zone"

But if the name is copyrighted, I'll go with "I Can't Believe It's Not For Kids!"

[MidNight Kid]

"Adult Run" ;)

[Serena S.]

:) Anime Night Swim! :)

[Lord Dalek]

^
Underpromted Swim. :D

[Jeff Harris]

- Street Lights (they only come on at night)

- Street Corner (particularly dangerous at night)

- FBES (Flashy Big-Eyed Stuff)

- Suddenly Hip Imitative Television (wait, that's what's pretty much what's on other networks, but it would be nice if Adult Swim ran a campaign that proclaimed, "Hey, you won't find suddenly hip imitative television programs here!")

- Cartoon Network (block names are so 2001)

[eyager]

Preteen Romp: Because Mike Lazzo insists on treating us like children with a short attention span. :mad:

[laredo]

"It is pleasant straw raincoat block of the show which is catoons for the adult"

I went to Babel Fish and forgot what I typed, but I translated whatever I did back to English from Japanese. I know I didn't type anything about straw raincoats.

[Cheesecake]

XNC!


The motto could be " Were like CNX but we started with toonami and got better as we went along with more mature programming"

[Beat]

"We hate Ani-may".

Hey, Kids, Watch This Show (too controversial!)

Not Enough FLCL

[shogunthethird]

The Greatest cartoons on CN

[iKwak]

Long time ago, when I was channel surfing, when I saw the title, "Adult Swim," I thought it was a comic for the adult audience. :p Caught my attention.

[Wanted]

Toonami's Younger Sister

I'd name it Addosim.
Another seven-lettered block for CN.
Or, maybe Salkinae. How about Salkinae?
It means nothing.
I thought of it!

You'll have to get through me to use it!
