So what ever happened to the Ripping friends?

[stanteau]

That still gonna happen?

[Xevo]

For that matter what happened to Rejected airing, what happened to Big O 2, what happened to... I mean, rumours will stay just that until they're confirmed =P I think we discussed the subject of will RF be coming, and should it be coming in the first place to death.

Some things CN won't confirm ahead of time and some things are confirmed a year ahead of time like the Johnny Bravo Valentine's Day special. Look at how long they kept He-Man, Armada, and Robot Jones a secret.

For that matter what happened to Rejected airing (etc.)... I mean, rumours will stay just that until they're confirmed...

I don't know about the rest of the shows, but I know that Rejected was on the official site's schedule. It was just removed for some reason. So I guess it was kind of a rumor, but it was based on official stuff.

On Ripping Friends: Who knows at this point. I'm not even sure who owns the right at this point because of the sale of fox family/fox kids to disney.

On Big O 2: We know it's coming, just not exactly when and exactly where on CN. All we know is that's scheduled for winter, which could be as early as late november, or as late as early march. Also, we know that it's top secret @ bandai, so they are involved with it too, but how, no one knows. Granted, until AX, Bandai said they had nothing to do with it. Everything about Big O 2, except the season in which it air is being kept under very tight wraps.

On Rejected: It's probably shoved back to October with the rest of the specials. If not, it's probably caught up with the BS&P again.

The rights to the show reverted back to Spumco after Fox Kids went under. That was one of the things John K. made sure would happen from the beginning. He didn't want some network taking control of his characters. Not again, anyway.

And Spumco has a new batch of Ren and Stimpy episodes to work on, so Ripping Friends seems a little less likely.

They could work on two shows at once, but Ren & Stimpy would undoubtedly get more attention.

Rejected: Delayed to October.

Big O 2: Still in production. Cartoon Network is the distributor and Sunrise is the Japanese studio. Bandai is in no way involved (except for Big O 1).

[Killtacular]

Um, no, it's been confirmed that they don't. Jerry Chu said so himself. Bandai has nothing to do with Big O 2.

Ok so when I buy the first DVD of Big O 2 it's gonna have the CN logo instead of the Bandai logo.


There's something weird about that

[Sora Takenouchi]

Damn straight about that, Spikey. o.O;;

So, if CN is distributing it on DVD, is it possible that it will have the Japanese version? And this probably means it will come in a cheap Warner snappercase instead of an Amaray case. This means bad news, because Warner would only want to release the Toonami-edited English dub only! Geez, Bandai should've atleast gotten the DVD distribution rights.

[Killtacular]

That depends on if CN is even going to release a DVD of Big O 2.


Sunrise may have to make a deal with a company to release a DVD of the series.. or maybe Warner Bros. WILL release a DVD.. that depends though.. I mean, WB only released the Pokemon movies on DVD themselves.

I'm sure whoever is distributing Big O 2 overseas will do the DVDs..

[Killtacular]

And another thing.


What airs on TV will be it.

There's no "editted"/"uneditted" version, because it's being produced for American television.

And I very highly, strongly, incredibly doubt it's going to Toonami. Wrong target demographic.

When did he say that, anyway? It sounds like that changed.

I have to agree with that because the Bandai Panel at Anime Expo did not confirm or deny their involvement. But tht was earlier this month so things might have changed

In that case, I pray it's going to ASA. It would really suck if the watered down Toonami version will BE it's uncut version.

One thing I wonder if that Big O 2 is for American television, it's animation style will become a bit more American. It will be English frst after all.

[KingKoopa]

I say that if it's Toonami, it'll be TV-PG on the Midnight Run. They're not gonna screw the fans over with "Cast in the name of Good" and such. Since Big O had huge ratings on TMR, it doesn't sound unlikely. But, it would fare MUCH better on ASA, even though it'll likely be TV-PG either way. I don't see anything that'd warrant a TV-14 in Big O.

[John Miles]

Toonami is already getting a few original shows. It would make much more sense for it to be coming to Adult Swim.

[livingfruitvirus]

Plus Big O was created to skew the adult demographic.
