Cowboy Bebop 3 Times a Week? And Advance 0083 Review...

[JohnCrichton]

Alright, because I'm jealous and wanted 0083 over at Toonami I posted the review (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20030) over on the Toonami Board.

But, as for CB.... are we getting CB 3 Times a week now?

That's alot o' Bebop.... 0_o

Nope. Just this week. Starting next week AS Comedy will only go til 10 PM to 12 AM. Bebop will be Saturday exclusive.

Calm down, JC; Toonami and ASA aren't competing against each other; there’s no reason to be jealous. Just think of it as Toonami: Hardcore ;)

They should make it YYH 2x/week, CB 2x/week, then PC and 0083.

Hey, it makes more sense than ending it all up with TV-Y7.

[ohmrbill]

Yes. Yes it does.

[DJRed]

No. No it doesn't.
The last thing Cartoon Network should do is overkill yet another series. They already air DBZ about 20 times a week. And CB has already been repeated. And i'm not sure but i don't think that YYH, like most anime, is a very long running series so there is no good reason to air it twice instead of just once a week.

YYH is over 100 episodes so I don't think twice a week would be overkill. CB, maybe, but YYH could use a twice a week airing.

YYH will have 21 episodes this season. While that would get through in 11 weeks, it's much better than showing, say, Outlaw Star/Tenchi with Toonami edits, which would be a disgrace to the Adult Swim name.

Cowboy Bebop has been aired at 2 eps/week for a while now. Continuing at that pace wouldn't kill it, they'd simply be airing it twice a week on its third run. Do you know how many times Outlaw Star has run? Do you know how many times Tenchi has run? Tenchi, on Toonami, had runs of around 12 weeks then repeat. For one full year, that's 5 runs. Add two on the midnight run and one right now and you get eight runs. Then think of Outlaw Star. That's had 3 daytime runs and 5 midnight runs. 8 runs. Add these heavily overplayed series to an "adult" block, and you get two overplayed misfits. Do you really think it's better to do that than show another 13 week run of Cowboy Bebop than another usless long run of Tenchi and Outlaw Star?

[DJRed]

Maybe that's why they end the block with tenchi and outlaw star.
I think it's been said that those 2 will be very little more than place holders until they get a few more new shows to air.
I know how many times those two shows have been re-aired. That's exactly what i'd like to prevent. The past is past. Nothing i can do about it. the best thing to do now is to prevent that from happening again. To stop them from over airing these shows before they become tenchi and OS.

I feel like i'm quoting WWII speeches....
But ok if YYH has over 100 episodes then i guess there's no problem with that airing twice a week. It's better than only 26.

kinda off-topic but...


Then think of Outlaw Star. That's had 3 daytime runs and 5 midnight runs. 8 runs.

Outlaw Star has had 9 and a half runs.

Outlaw Star daytime runs...
Its first run- 6:30
Its repeat run- 5:30
Its run when it won that summer poll thing- 5:30

Outlaw Star Midnight runs...
Its first one- 12:30
Its repeat- 12:30 again
Its run when it won the summer poll- 12:30
Yet another run in September- 12:30
Yet another run in October ( finally replaced by Gundam 0080)- 12:30
Another run in December- 12:30
A little run that ended when Dragonball replaced it- 12:30
