That's what it says at Aint it cool news, anyway. And this is from an official press release. Go to aintitcool.com and click on the anime report to read the bad news yourself.

Yeah, it's been that way for a few months. It totally sucks. Is it ever coming back, or are we doomed with Cardcaptors forever?

I've read they 'may' bring it back, but who knows. Maybe they'll throw them in with the new 'Adult Swim' series they're starting up in the fall.
Oh, well, worse case scenerio I've still got them all on tape.

Hmm. Maybe they're worried about how The Justice League will do. Or they just don't want to overkill the American heros in tights genre of shows. But then again they already did that ten fold with the anime junk they have. :p

Anyway, I'm sure things will pick up for Batman and Superman (and maybe even Batman Beyond, even though I'm pushing the maybe on that one) once Justice League kicks CN's....ah, tooshy.

There are two places our shows can go, the Adult Swim, and/or Toonami. To be fair they gotta give us one of them at least, right!?

See the Dice quote in my signature for my thoughts on that. http://www.duhspot.com/users/smiley/s/otn/laughing/icon_smile_lachuh.gif

You got an ace news site attached to these boards. (I got it bookmarked right below washingtonpost.com)

Really? Cool. Even when the server goes down, I try to update as soon as it's back up, no matter how late it is. Hopefully the whole server thing will be smoothed out, now. It'll be a relief if it is. I'm glad everyone likes the newspage. Nice to see that posters here know that there's a site attached to it.

Guys, you know they shuffle around the schedule quite frequently. Anime shows frequently go on and off the air in Toonami too.

But the network has confirmed that Batman/Superman is off Toonami alltogethor, not temporarily.

Ah. Well, networks aren't always to be trusted. IF the new JLA toon is a hit, they'll come back. I supposed the ratings for Batman/Superman weren't strong enough?

hey, I knew that the Worlds Finest was attached to this site. I went to the site a year or so before I even started coming to the boards!!

Actually, the Batman series alone brought in 500, 000 new subscribers to CN when it premeired. And Superman had real strong ratings. CN just decided to put it to pasture for reason not 100% known.
