View Full Version : Question about new anime for Adult Swim
Sage Shinigami
02-17-2006, 11:10 PM
Is there any chance for new anime on AS? I haven't heard any news on it, but given that FMA, and NGE are both going to end soon, I would imagine they're going to try to show some new ones, right? Or are they just going to say "Screw it" to their anime and go all comedy? (Improbable, but most certainly not impossible, given most people don't like anything that's not an "American made cartoon", something I've heard a lot on other boards, and others don't think cartoons are an appropriate place for dramatic/serious storytelling.)

How many more eps. of NGE? I knew that FMA was ending soon, but I was unaware of NGE.
Also, Champloo is coming to an end, and I don't know about 2ND GIG. InuYasha is also on its last season.
Maybe (hopefully) when all of these end they'll et COMPLETELY new anime. I hope so.
How many more eps. of NGE? I knew that FMA was ending soon, but I was unaware of NGE.
NGE only has about 6 or so episodes left.

.............:sad:
Champloo- 2 Episodes remaining.
Evangelion- 6 episodes remaining.
Full Metal Alchemist- 3 or 4 episodes if I remember correctly.
2nd Gig- Probably 8 or so episodes left.
How much longer till the next con?:sweat: Something's gotta give before the Action schedule has the Gary Coleman show on it.

I'm trying to forget it, but you're not making it easy....:D
Seriously though....IY's been on for about four years now. The only people that are watching are the utter hardcore fans. Its too far in to pick up many new fans, fans that were iffy about the show probably said screw about 20 episodes ago, so all you're looking at is a very small, concentrated fanbase watching IY. And I say small because even though IY has a big fanbase, most of them aren't interested in watching the dub version.
Anyway....looking at Beatdigga's post is enough to prove my point. Of course...14 weeks from this Saturday should put us pretty close to con season, though I'm almost positive we'll get an announcement about new anime soon, if they plan to show any.

I figure Ergo Proxy is coming to Adult Swim as soon as it gets [dubbed], but that probably won't be until late in the year.
I also wonder how the TV-MA allowance will affect future acquisitions. As long as they don't pick up something else like Scryed, I'm good.

It's got that off the wall wacky stuff AS seems to like, but it's got some theme and visual gags that wouldn't allow it to run on anything less than AS (Massive blood letting, perverted school doctors, perpetual alcohol references...) and hey, the Dub is good ^__^

That would be the rumor, yeah.
Personally, I think Melody of Oblivion might make a good Adult Swim anime. I've been watching it lately and the atmosphere, characters, and everything screams Adult Swim. Its sort of old, and not a real stand-out anime, but then again neither was Scryed. Plus its been dubbed by Geneon, one of the companies they've been dealing with lately.

I imagine all these series will get at least a rerun or two before they put on new animes (because it's so popular, FMA should get perpetual reruns for the foreseeable future).
I hope something good! Like Love Hina, maybe?
The programming manager has already made it clear that she has no plans for airing any romantic anime series on Adult Swim, and that if they do change this policy, "His & Her Circumstances" will air before "Love Hina" ever will. (See http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=152176).

I would have greatly preferred "Escaflowne" be shown on AS rather than "Evangelion", frankly. "Desert Punk" is probably the most likely.

I like that, but it might rule out Melody....
Looking at that though, we know what won't be seen:
-Anime with a lot of fanservice
-Romantic Comedy
-Anything too old (but Lupin got on....), to be more specific, anything as old as Ranma 1/2 without new episodes coming....does anyone know how old Ranma is?
I think Bleach might be a nice AS candidate.

02-19-2006, 12:16 AM
Hate Evangelion and Escaflowne but like Bleach of all possible shows... Whatever...
In any case, I don't think I'd ever see Berserk or Escaflowne coming to AS ever. Escaflowne's ten years old now(as odd as it seems) and Berserk, while more recent, has waaaay dated animation for when it was released. Sure, Eva made it on, but thus far it's been the exception, not the rule. Desert Punk, Basilisk, or Trinity Blood seem likely due to the most appeal (Speed Grapher's not bad, hell it's lightyears superior to Trinity Blood, just dunno how the main relationship would go over). I was always kinda surprised they never acquired X TV since it seems it would have had enough appeal in spite of the hints of homosexuality here and there.

The thing that worries me is that past acquisitions have been announced far before their airing, and we haven't seen much AS/CN acquisition news lately.
If they do get new anime, there is always plenty of lead time between acquisition and airing, so if they haven't announced much yet we could have a while to go before the next cycle of shows start.

Ranma and Escaflowne are never coming to Adult Swim no matter what. I also think Monster would be perfect for Adult Swim, even though considering AS's streak with dramatic anime, it'd probably sink immediately. I think Deserk Punk and Ergo Proxy are the best bets at the moment.

It seems Desert Punk is most likely show to come to AS so far. It would be cool if AS could air El Hazard: The Magnificent World. I know the Azn Television aired a few years back, but I don't think they have the rights to it anymore.

That might fly, but first AS needs to learn how to market its anime. They used to do this very, very well, but then sometime around mid-2004 they stopped giving a damn. Contrary to popular belief, but airing promos way, way in advance (like they did for FLCL and Big O), stir interest and get heaping helpings of ratings (like the aforementioned got, for the most part).

Kim Manning on the ASMB said AS is in negotiations with ADV for a new anime series, and has its eyes on several others from various distributors. She said AS isn't giving up on anime, but will probably be doing future premieres on weeknights, not Saturdays.
So what ADV series do you think they are going after? (^_*)

Area 88 though....meh. Much too short, and FLCL's really the only thing short that they've licensed.

You know, do you realize just about all you've said about "Godannar" could just as easily apply to "Dai-Guard" as well? (Or maybe it may be considered too mild for AS, and more the level of Toonami or Miguzi. I've never really seen the series, so I don't know.) Anyway, I'd likely watch either if they came to CN.

Well, that does make sense. I suppose the same could apply to "Grenadier" as well, though just like "Burst Angel," I suppose that show is considered too hot for Adult Swim.

I prefer Godannar to Dai-Guard, but that's just me. That and Godannar is the newer show, which probably appeals to WS more.

Dai-Guard is rather tame for AS. There's little strong language, not that much blood, nor any non-monster graphic violence. About the only thing "adult" about the show is that all the characters are office workers and Ibuki (the female lead) jokingly saying she's going to get drunk during an office party.
Godannar is very...sexual compared to Dai-Guard. All the girls have perky breasts which jiggle a lot, plus they all wear skin-tight jumpsuits which leave very little to the imagination (including an 11-year-old), plus all the men are the "manly men" super robot stereotype people. Basically, it's fanservice mixed with super robot action, with some fanservice tossed in for variety.
Godannar could work, but I don't know how the audience would react to the characters shouting every other sentence (there are very few quiet moments in the series). It'd certainly fit more than Dai-Guard.

If Kim Manning passed on Burst Angel because it had too much fanservice, I don't think she'll accept Godannar.

According to this month's Newtype Express "USA Now", Bandai plans to debut "Eureka Seven" on TV later this year, though no details on where yet. Given Bandai's past history though, it would really break all precedents if it came anywhere else except CN.
Again, I'm not that familiar with the series, so I wouldn't even hazard a guess whether it would be bound for AS, Toonami or Miguzi. However, from the publicity, it doesn't seem to have a comical bent like "Godannar" or "Dai-Guard", though it's supposed to have a bit of a "cool" factor associated with it.

This is Bandai's latest "Mass-market-appeal-ground-breaking-anime" which was tried before (and failed) in D.I.C.E. and Gundam SEED. Without a doubt I would see Bandai pushing for Toonami (since it would get more exposure there).

Anyway.
1. Dai-Guard's too old.
2. Grenadier has too much fanservice.
Eureka 7 seems like an AS pick, same as GunxSword. GunxSword has the action, while Eureka seems like AS's new "weird" anime.

If I don't hear anything about Eureka going to Toonami in the next few weeks, we can all assume that it's certain to go to Adult Swim. I'm guessing it'll replace FMA.
Then once Evangelion ends I'm guessing another ADV show will probably take it's place. Out of there currently available shows, the only major hitters that haven't already been grabbed by some network or another would be Azumanga and the new Macross dub. Neither of those seem to fit AS 100%, so maybe something more obscure might come up and be a surprise hit. Unless of course AS decides to take the risk of a lifetime and gets Gantz or Elfen Lied.
Gun X Sword will likely replace GitS once it ends. The only other show currently licensed that I can see easily going to AS would be Blood+, and I doubt it'll be ready until October at the earliest. Man, someone needs to license Monster and BECK and get those on the air as quick as possible. That, and make Death Note into an anime.

I hope they get something sci-fi, I just finished watching banner of the stars 1 and 2 and have a yearning for it, but bots is probably never gonna be on adult swim so I hope they get something else, something like Ghost in the Shell, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bepop etc. I hear PlanetES is good, also the premise of Starship operators sounded like something I would like (a crew can't afford thier spaceship so they sign a contract to make thier lives into a reality TV show.)
Also maybe slayers has an outside shot, I don't know how long the contract Ichannel had was, but it has been a few years, and ADV revently picked up the rights.

Man, if they're scared of fanservice EL is a freaking NIGHTMARE. Even if it IS a serious show. Gantz, from what I hear, has too much violence.

It's about halfway through, I think, and will be done by October. It's already licensed by Sony, and it would be a perfect fit for AS. I hope it comes to TV is some form or another, especially given Sony's record with DVD releases.

They used to show this show a while ago it used to be shown right after Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex? I forgot the name of it, maybe they could pick it up again. I remember it was very confusing for me to understand.
It was about this baseball boy who beat everyone up, and there was these two detectives trying to find him, so they can arrest him...
There was this other boy with some kind of connection to this bad boy, until he gets to be a victim to.
There was also his teacher who was involved in all this.
Some girl with a talking animal buddy, who forgot who she was or something like that, and the detectives allways questioned her since she claimed to have seen that freaky baseball boy.
I'm sorry, I forgot the name of the show so my description doesn't make any sense.
I'm not sure why Adult Swim removed the series, and maybe they air it later at night or something, I don't stay up that late. Anyways that show had a lot of bloody violence, some bad language and some sexual references! :o :shrug: :confused:

How about Baki the Grappler? This is a FUNimation series and I was wondering for those who seen the series(Duke and others): Would it fit on AS or is it more Toonami? I think a comedy anime that could work is Goldenboy. It doesn't rely on knowledge of Japanese culture to get the jokes and anyone can get into it. It's only six episodes and it comes from ADV.

Baki: Too tame (though given that they purchased Scryed, Baki might not be too far off)
Golden Boy: Too old, too fanservicey
If AS is going to get any anime comedy, I'd personally want Hale and Guu. But since the DVDs are TV-Y7 according to FUNi's site, maybe it could end up being a wild card for Toonami (hey, they got Bobobo).

This is the same network that makes fun of fans when they don't like the shows that are on. Kim is not going to back down from her anti-fanservice stance any time soon if the official boards are any indication. Meaning Godannar, Desert Punk, and their ilk will only be available at your local DVD store.

I haven't seen it dubbed, but I don't think it really needs it judging from the ~7 episodes I've seen.
The main boost in profanity is the numerous ways Sunabouzu/Desert Punk refers to a woman's breasts. I mean, one scene clocks atleast 4, maybe more like 7 different terms in there. There are also some of the 7 you can't say on TV in there as well.
BTW, the subs are dead accurate as always, so you don't have to worry about that. The dub however is definitely in a Geneon Lupin vain, only with a lot profanity. I mean, A LOT MORE. It's not MA rated on the box for nothing.

Yep, I'd say it's probably closer to 7. They pretty much use every known reference for those, and then some.

I still think "Jubei-chan the Ninja Girl" will eventually air on AS.
Mainly because it aired on AdultSwimOnDemand. And Scryed aired too before it went to regular Adult Swim.

Hey, does anyone else think that the anime fanbase itself would do a better job at programming than the current big wigs up there?

*Looks on On Demand*
Desert Punk episodes 1 and 2 is in the Anime Selects section, not the adult swim section. So yeah, we can all cross it off ever coming to AS.

Well, not necessarily, although that is interesting... *runs off to watch it*

Well, if Manning won't let us see "Kodacha", she should at least let us see "Jubei-chan" (and if she doesn't want more series "FLCL"-length, she can always fix that by acquiring "Jubei 2" and "Carried by the Wind" to go with it).

Well, since Anime Selects is Comcast, then logically "Anime Unleashed" should have a lock on "Desert Punk" (*WARNING* logic usually has absolutely nothing to do with what TV networks do).

Kodocha was pitched towards Miguzi, but CN rejected it because they thought the ending was a bit dark.
Baki: Too tame (though given that they purchased Scryed, Baki might not be too far off)
.
Baki isn't tame, at least not as far as violence is concerned. It would have a decent chance to air considering the length, but I have a feeling its time has passed.

I think the end of the series. The ending theme isn't dark at all.

Some of AS' anime choices are quite good (FMA, GitS, SC, Trigun, CB, FLCL). Then again they have had their low points (Reign, Super Milk-Chan, which I'm told had another version that DIDN'T suck, Blue Gender, Kikaider, Wolf's Rain, and Witch Hunter Robin)...actually....they've had a LOT of bad anime decisions. And Manning gave me a headache when she said she thought the original version of Milk-Chan was funny. ....Then again...AS's comedy choices aren't always that bright. (12oz. Mouse, anyone?)
That said....
If I ever saw most of the types of shows they said they don't want to show on AS....I'd swear it off and start actually going to bed at night. So no, I don't think they can do better. Now let's hope for GunxSword.
Judging by the Viz press release, Bleach is practically a given now.

Well, I hope Viz has been doing some hard negotiating before "Bleach" airs on CN (http://forums.toonzone.net/showpost.php?p=1945676&postcount=38). I think the owners of "Bleach" will benefit more by an uninterrupted airing on G4, AZN or even Action!/WAM Encore than to suffer the shell game CN played with "Yu Yu Hakasho". Viz shouldn't hesistate to threaten to take "Bleach" elsewhere unless CN guarrantees a 52-65 episode first run, as long as the show gathers respectable ratings (I don't blame CN for yanking shows with catastrophic ratings, but they shouldn't interrupt a storyline because a show doesn't gather overnight blockbuster numbers or doesn't have quite the demographic they want).
