I know some of you Otaku's will complain that Toonami only shows "Soft" anime, but the fact remains that it does serve as a way to introduce people to other anime, thus bringing it more into the mainstream. This may not affect some of you who buy your fancy sub titled and dubbed anime on nice DVD's but think about all the people who can't/ won't do that. Toonami may serve as their only access to anime.
Even more scary, what about all the young American kids who will write and draw the action cartoons of tommorow. I believe that many of them "will" have been influenced from shows across the pond. I mean the obscure ones that otherwise would not get attention (Outlaw Star, Big O for instance) By eliminating this influence, might we be eliminating the posotive influences anime may have on future cartoon people (IMO as a rule many anime have deeper plots, more complicated story arcs, more mature themes, and more variety in genre over U.S cartoons) and stuff. Now most of us want this stuff in American cartoons am I on the right track?...right then. K, so back to the question, is their some way we can get the messege to the higher ups at Time Warner?

Who else agree's that the oversaturation of Dragonball Z may have harmful effects (similar to what happened to Pokemon when KWB started to overplay it.) I'll watch DBZ on CN ( Otaku's you may flame me) , but even I will say enough. I guess they're overestimating the tolerance of the 4-10 demographic. You know it's like King Solomon said.
"Honey is sweet, but don't take to much of it or you'll vomit" (paraphrased)
or the followers of the Greek God Apollo stated.
"Nothing in exces everything in moderation.)
Oh well who agree's

didn't want to paste your message in here, but it did it anyway. Oh, well, I'll figure it out when I have time.
Anyway, what is going on on CN? Are you referring to the thing that been coming on during Toonami saying, "due to forces beyond our control we won't be showing some of your favorite shows anymore."? What force are they talking about? What is going on?
I'm not to upset about Outlaw Star, but losing Gundam and Big O will suck.
As far as the oversaturation goes...I dunno if they're really oversaturating with DBZ. At least not to the extent of the Poke's. At one point there were about 4 of those shows on Saturday morning if you count Fox and WB. Then a couple during the weekdays. I just don't think it's that bad w/ DBZ. Sure they show them twice a day, but I don't think the people that catch it at 4:30 are still watching CN at 11:30. At least I hope not! Where are the parents at?
BTW- I just noticed that instead of showing an ep in the afternoon and then replaying it at midnight, they show it first at midnight and then replay the next afternoon. Kinda weird.
