Which animes should be put on the ASA? [Archive]

Boogiepop Phantom, The Boy Who Saw the Wind, Hellsing, Full Metal Panic, Magic Harry, or GoldenBoy (They could do it... they only have nudity in one episode, the rest is just fan-service... and it has a GREAT dub).

A less edited version of Outlaw Star

and of course...

TRIGUN!!!

That all belongs on Toonami. Not uncut, but story-line wise they all have a kiddy feel. Those would only attract a younger audience... except mabye OS, but OS already aired alot, I'd rather see something I'm not sick of. :p

Same goes for Tekkaman. Tekkaman would attract a DBZ-lovin' audience.

Well, considering my top Adult Swim picks aren't action shows, I'd have to go with the typical cliche pick; Eva. Trigun's mentioned ad nauseum so may as well throw that in, wanna see what all the fuss is about.

I don't think any new animes will be on Adult Swim for a while. At least not until September

I doubt that considering all the talk is about 2/3 of the hours being nothing but filler until the real shows come. Another 6 months of Pilot Candidate and Tenchi repeats wouldn't exactly go over well for the block O_o

Some of those, like Nadesico, could probably air on Toonami with little editing.

The fuss is about the movie. The TV series is lame. They'd have to air the movie also (End of Evangelion).

I'm not sure if you know, but ADV won't allow Eva to air unless completely unedited. Eva has B00bies (Jiggly ones), lots of blood, and quite a few religious references. It ain't happenin'.

LoL, I was talking about Trigun, not Eva.

Actually, I think people over-rate Eva's 'offensiveness' a little too much. Eva's religous content is harmless window dressing that doesn't bash religon one bit, and AS aired the 'Brain Scratch' episode of CB that stated God doesn't exist. The small amount of barbie doll nudity and the Unit 03 incidents a different story, although I wouldn't necessarily say its as impossible as some ^_^ Don't bank on it, but don't utterly discount it for all eternity either.

Well, that's completely different, then. The fuss is about it being an awesome series. Hillarious, intruiging, emotional, awesome. Not exactly ASA material, though. Still great.

Well... Eva was pretty controversial when first dubbed. Alot of people were pissed about it existing. It seems like people would really flare up if it aired on a cable network. The barbie doll nudity, is jiggly. I wouldn't doubt if there's over 300 B00bies in that episode. I like B00bies, but CN doesn't. It's possible in the future, but 3 years the absolute minimum. I wouldn't want it to air, anyway!

Yeah, I'd love to see Lain on AS too (its my #1 pick) but this is about Adult Swim Action. Lain's about the least action filled show in existence.

True, but it's also not really a comedy, so it wouldn't fit on Adult Swim Comedy.

Hmmm...if only they'd remove "action" and "comedy" have Adult Swim Saturday and Adult Swim Sunday, (Or Adult Swim International and Adult Swim America) then we could have stuff like Lain or Boogiepop Phantom that isn't all that action-y.

Yeah, I heard that news too, and I'm psyched about it. For once, we're getting the new shows BEFORE Japan. Take that! Payback for all the deluxe Metal Gear Solid box sets and fancy Totoro goodies they have....and yes, I'd venture to say that Season 2 will almost definitely hit CN...I mean, who else would want it? Nick? Ha... my guess is that it will hit Toonami, since the first season was broadcast there, although it would certainly get more love on AS, where, if it's anything like Season 1 (and I desperately hope it is), it could run unedited. My hope is that, for one thing, the first dub cast is kept intact, and secondly, the show isn't changed to radically- not too many new characters, no new art style, or anytying weird like that.

Jude Santos

03-22-2002, 09:03 AM

well i really dont know if big o was edited heavily or not in terms of content, but from reading the edit lists, they edited out beer, hookers, smoking, blood and the word god. but it can land on toonami seeing as the dub hasnt been done yet, meaning bandai or whoever it is doing the dub can lighten it up so they dont have to edit it later

VinceA

03-22-2002, 02:16 PM

They'd better not lighten it up. I'd like to be able to get it on DVD with all the cigarette, alcohol & God references intact. Maybe they can do both dubs (American English DVD & American English TV) at the same time along with the 'stupid' overlays for "In the name of Good". :)

The latter episodes were butchered. Funerals, mentioning the word Merry Christmas, etc... more of the typical insane Toonami edits that make little to no sense.

Which is why it would be so nice to see Big O on ASA :D

randomguy

03-22-2002, 11:10 PM

Lupin the Third and Patlabor would be my picks. Lupin joins Gundam as one of those shows that is so classic and endearing, and has greatly influenced the development of the medium. I'm sure it would garner a loyal following from the Bebop fans. Besides, there's just something undeniably cool about the show's frequently European setting- something most anime doesn't do. And Patlabor, for my money, is the last great mecha series. Being in that it actually brings something new to the table. Rouini Kenshin would be nice too.

JustJack

03-23-2002, 01:46 AM

So, is Big O 2 currently in production? If so, they could just make it to AS standards? I wana see beer! I wana see smoke! I wana see hookers! And dangit..I wana hear 'God'!!! :p

But really...a playboy like Roger, the show needs a little more sex appeal...and I'm talking about the kind that can only pass on AS. ;)

Sorry man won't happen Fox owns it.
But a thought just came in of X: The Series or Final Fantasy Unlimited on ASA. Hopefully somebody will pick up the rights. I hope the same happens with Full Metal Panic or Hyper Police. I am really tired of looking for fan subs.

Tails Prower

03-24-2002, 07:44 PM

That Final Fantasy Series Japan is getting :-( DAMN THEM!!!!!

Trigun most likely. And i wouldnt say EVA has a 0% chance of playing on American TV.

least we get Big O before them, i think thatll be the first thing we've ever gotten before them, besides the xbox.

Stupid Sega of Japan, and Nintendo of Japan, and SONY OF JAPAN! ARG THEY GET EVERYTHING!!!!

/me moves to Japan lol :)

Koggit

03-24-2002, 10:17 PM

Final Fantasy Unlimited would be AWESOME on Toonami. I've only seen the first 6 episodes, but I don't think it belongs on AS from what I've seen.

My ASA-Wants...

"Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water" I can't tell you how happy I'd be if they picked it up. My #1 pick.

"Jubei-Chan: Ninja Girl" Best choice they could make, in my opinion. It's one of those series' everyone likes. #2

"Gokudo" Slayers fans would love it. It's the best alternative, and licensed by Media Blasters. Possibly better suited for Toonami, though. #3

"Dual!" It could go COMPLETELY unedited. It'd be my #4 choice.

Someone needs to put Slayers on primetime. At the rate AS is going, expect ecchi (fanservie) real soon. Something along the lines of Sakura Diaries is what the CN has expressed intrest in.

Tails Prower

03-25-2002, 05:14 PM

Nadia...where have i heard that...OH YEAH! There was a preivew of it on the Sonic the Hedgehog Movie i got from ADV Films. Looks pretty good,.

Gundam_Warrior

03-25-2002, 05:22 PM

I think Nadia (as much as I would like to see it) has little chance of coming on ASA as Evangelion. I would try to think of animes that haven't been dubbed yet or like Juebi Chan just hasn't been recived well by the public. But thats just my view I could be wrong.

Some people where saying that we where talking about "Adult Swim Action" so they couldn't have there fav shows on, but what about Tenchi thats not alot of action. and yes Lain is an great series it maybe has more action then Tenchi does.

Gundam_Warrior

03-27-2002, 05:17 PM

I wonder why they didn't just call Adult Swim Anime the only things they've added on non-anime is Superman & Batman. Don't get me wrong I love my anime however just to put certain stuff on it well it would slove alot of problems.

Jude Santos

03-27-2002, 06:09 PM

well heres a couple of my predictions of what we'll see on air by the end of the year on ASA. first, big o 2, im pretty sure it will be on ASA, judging from the stuff they edited out on the first season, big o 2 is well suited to be on ASA. second: Initial D. i just read some time ago that tokyopop was fishing for someone to air initial d and i read an article about initial d on a motor/car and driver type magazine online and they said "to expect initial d to be on tv". third: trigun, of all the titles we've mentioned, trigun has the highest chance just becuase people keep talking about it and how it might be on tv. well thats it

Koggit

03-27-2002, 06:10 PM

Superman and Batman are part of Toonami's Rising Sun which airs after the ASA block. Everything on ASA is anime.

Dramatic anime's, for the most part, suck. The ones that don't suck are popular, and CN seems to want the lesser known anime. I like it being AS-Action, it leaves room for American animation. I'd like to see some American shows specifically for ASA like they did with ASC.

Sprocket

03-27-2002, 08:06 PM

Well, Randomguy, where do you think Spike and Jet are influenced from? :)

Spike's a little more obvious. But if you put an eye-concealing hat on Jet....

And then of course there's Faye. THAT one's a no-brainer for me :)

randomguy

03-27-2002, 10:24 PM

Which is precisely why Lupin belongs on AS. Because there'd be no CB without Lupin (sorry Bebop fans, but it's true). To be fair to Lupin though, the title character and feel of the stories were lifted illegaly from LeBlanc's 19th century Lupin novels. So....see? The circle of idea theft is comple.

Gundam_Warrior

03-28-2002, 03:17 PM

Most likely Trigun and more than likely another Gundam will come.

Koggit

03-28-2002, 06:12 PM

They don't seem to want the real popular series'. It makes sense, too.

Why air a series that half your target audience has already seen?

Jude Santos

03-28-2002, 07:07 PM

Here's a good question, what anime do you think will air on CN in the next year?

well i already answered your question in my last post, anyway, i think Big O 2 would be on ASA (well, by the end of the year), and im guessing Initial D (just refer to my last post for referal, its on page 2 almost at the bottom).

but the anime with the highest chance is trigun

on the subject of anime that has not been dubb (or even subbed, for that matter).

the only one i want is Hunter X Hunter. its a martial arts action/adventure from the guy who made Yu Yu Hakusho. its really good, but just hasent been dubbed/subbed over here yet. i have the first 20 some odd eps (fan sub) and the manga translated issues 1-84 http://toriyamaworld.com
those of you who like the cool character development of Yu Yu Hakusho, but more tournament based fights between the warriors, Hunter x Hunter is for you. Im a big fan, and have been trying to get someone to pick up the rights for domestic release (i have petitions).

stanteau

04-05-2002, 09:33 AM

Why would yu want a crappy series like Fist of the North Star on ASA?This isn't just to think of something real violent or sexual,but you gotta think fo something that would actually fit.I myself don't like Trigun,I hate the comedy aspect,but it would fit nicely.Hre's my dream schedule.

11:00-Trigun
11:30-Love Hina
12:00-Lain
12:30-EVA

There's four very nice series with tons of US appeal to ease in a nice fanbase.After those break it down into less mainstream shows like Initial D,Inu Yasha once it gets dubbed,and maybe have specials like FLCL or a movie like Jin-Roh or Akira,hell even Blood The Last vampire (it wasn't great but awesome action) or maybe even Kite.If some company would license Iketeru Futaru they could even show those little 5 minute blurbs,although it may be TOO sexual.Ebichu suffers form the same problem,it's hillairous but probably too sexual.Berserk would be nice but that would need a TVMA rating and even then it'd have to be eidted for nudity,although have you guys been watching The Shield?Flat out nudity on thta show and it's on before 10 sometimes.

As for EVA,I know everyone says Gainax has some rule but I think it's BS,until I see an official link about it to eitehr Gainax or ADV I won't believe it.

Damn,I want on a kinda nat there huh.

Matt Hazuda

04-05-2002, 10:23 AM

As much as many people dread it, Love Hina will proabably make is to ASC, since the DVD had a "cleaned up" version of the dub that supposedly would make it OK for TV. I have the DVD, but just haven't watched the dub, because I heard it's god awful.

Big 02 will never be on ASA. The original was shown on Toonami, and so will the new(maybe there's a possibility of an uncut version on TMR a la Gundam Wing, but who knows)

I'm betting that Trigun will be on the block by 1 year from now, and Pilot Candidate will be uncerimoniously dropped from the block never to air on TV again :D :D

I'm gonna change my stance on Eva on TV(not necessarily AS) from never, to never say never. The Gainax/ADV 'no edit' rules may just be a myth, or a premium channel like Showtime Beyond would pick it up(which would totally suck, because I don't get that channel). Why else would they be releasing a DVD boxset of a series that has been completed for a long time now? Cowboy Bebop got the late box set treatment(I know it came out after it's AS debut, but it was advertised before it was known it was coming to AS), and it also appeared on AS, but this may not necessarily hold true of Eva.

stanteau

04-05-2002, 10:32 AM

So will comedy anime be on ASC or aSA?I thought ASA was gonne be specially for anime.

Utena is a doubtful series since it's more a shoujo than a shounen series and the majority of AS viewers are male.

X is a definate possibility especially since the movie is quite popular (depsite it's suckitude)

Here's one nobody's mentioned:

Key The Metal Idol

I just ordered the 1st DVD two days ago and it might come today or tomorrow.

From what I hear it's a "mind-screw" series like Lain and EVA and would fit nicley on Adult Swim since it's more adult than any the animes currently on Adult Swim (save for Cowboy Bebop). But I don't know about it's action factor so that might tell whether it has a chance of being on ASA or not.
