Somehow I doubt that. At this point I'm sure they've realized they are never going to get the viewers they want or think they will get. Point in case: Eureka Seven, ect.Linkzg said:

True. Does anybody know where I might find Adult Swim ratings for saturdays? I know AS posts them sometimes. I feel like I'm pulling generalizations out of my ass, so I'd like to see the facts, if possible.7Th said:

All I know is, if they don't pick up Gurren Lagann I'm never watching Adult Swim again.
I don't have cable right now
The numbers haven't been that low in a while. The high end shows tend to draw between 300k-500k on Saturdays. Granted, it's rare for the shows that reach the highest levels to be anime (it's usually Futurama when it gets to the higher end of that scale), but it does happen.Askia47 said:
Bleach had a week a couple months ago with over 600,000, and one of Death Note's premieres has already drawn a 400,000.
Still, ratings were at their peak in the first half of the original FMA run, where FMA and Inuyasha were both able to get up over 700,000.
Also, those numbers are only for 18-34. If you expand the numbers to cover all viewers, the numbers jump way the hell up into the millions. Shows like Bleach especially have a great deal of draw with the 12-17 audience.
ADV has Gurren Lagann. There's almost no chance of Adult Swim getting it anytime soon. ADV doesn't play well with others, and the only two shows Adult Swim has ever gotten from ADV they were allowed to have because ADV kept a different/better version to air on their own network.Elfforkusu said:
Chances are the next major series they'll get after Geass will be Darker than BLACK. There's been talk of that getting a TV run ever since it was licensed, and it's the exact kind of thing FUNimation would give Adult Swim.
I agree, I'm glad some of you guys were pimping it because I had never heard of it or seen the first season(which I guess goes without saying if I'd never heard of it). Now I've got half the mangas and am getting ready to buy season 1 next week. I'll be sad to see it finish but at least that means it'll end on a high note as opposed to dragging on like say, oh I don't know Bleach for example(my opinion of course but the excitement I had for the whole S.S. arc is gone and now I watch it just to watch it, I have to see it through).Masta_Killah said:
I'm counting on you guys to keep me entertained next season!

Damn it, Bosch is going to voice a character (the main?) in Code Geass. Now I have to watch it. ;_;

Ookiku Furikabutte episode 12 was great, the show is constantly getting better and I think it is on the path to being one of the best sports anime up there with Ippo.
I really liked how

Mihashi was in the background in the last scene shaking because he wanted to play catch with Hama, but they never even mentioned it at all, he just stood there until the episode ended.

Ookiku Furikabutte is pretty good. It has a pretty good story and the tension on the mound is excellent. The only thing I dislike is Mihashi. For the love of god, grow some fucking balls and quit crying like a little b. He's starting to get on my nerves! :lol

he has gotten much better since the first episode, he doesnt cry when he talks to people now. Atleast they kind of explain why is he such a social misfit, I mean when he was young he played baseball with some kids, but after that he went from having no friends to being hated by his team, just now he is again experiencing friends.
and I did laugh really hard when he called Hama Hama-chan and he got all happy over the nostalgia, I also think him and Abe balance each other out now.
2nd Favorite show of the year for me. I was sold since I saw the OP. Loved it since.Linkzg said:
I think the main cast balances each other out nicely. You have Mihashi to Abe and Hanai to Tajima. for the main four. Kind of dissapointed with the lack of emphaizing the other characters but for the most part those 4 are great. See but my problem is, I don't know where Hama fits in. I kept thinking he is going to join the team or something instead of being on cheer squad

at first I thought that
Hama was this really good player who was going to join the team, but as the episode went on it seems like he is truly gonna be part of the cheer squad. I mean, he was shocked that players were hitting those fastballs and he was beat after one day of only running. I dont think that the anime tries to make super complex characters whos parents died in a war so they can play baseball or some shit like that, most of the characters just seem like they are pure in their interest of baseball.
and I really have to applaude it for not having a match against Abe's teammate, I was so used to normal sports anime that I was sure they would be matched up and there would be a drawn out segment where Mihashi learns why Abe didnt like the pitcher or something like that.

Anyone know where I can download or stream all the episodes of Samurai Champloo in English?

Wonder if they will actually bring in the worthwhile animation staff this time around, specially considering that other than Skullman's final confrontation this wasn't a good year for Bones' TV visuals. I guess their big names were all busy in Stranger.
Core staff:
Director: Igarashi Takuya (Nadja, Host Club, Gash Bell)
Series Composition: Yamatoya Akatsuki (Simoun, Jinzo Konchu Kabuto Borg VxV)
Character Design: Itou Yoshiyuki (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Concept Design: Aramaki Shinji (Gasaraki, Project Blue Earth SOS)
Main Prop Design: Hoshino Takeshi (...)
Art Director: Nakamura Norifumi (Host Club, Zombie Loan)
Animation Production: BONES

Genshiken ep10 is out. I have mixed feelings about this one. I liked the first half, which was very close to what was in the manga. But the second half was just all sorts of weird and completely different from the tone of the manga. Good episode, just not as good as past episodes.
Defuser said:
I saw the episode yesterday, but if I hadn't your lack of spoiler-tags would have been greatly unappreciated.
Kaiji is turning out to be okay. It is really really pissing me off that
he doesn't just wail on his "partners" for sending him off to die. A knee and a bitch slap doesn't cut it. Then he cries like a little bitch and throws away all the money - the reason he was on this hell cruise to begin with - on some sniveling candy-ass that wasn't worth it in the first place. His patience is God-like and it is really annoying. He became friends with the cock-sucker that put him in that situation to begin with. His fat fuck partner betrays him, and he understandably looks the other way. Then he fucking keeps putting his neck out for these losers, when they've proven more than once they can't be trusted. Kaiji's patience better pay-off soon, so he'll be vindicated for his naivety and selflessness, but until that happens, I almost hate him as much as his piece of shit partners.

haha, in this case is just pure ignorance on my side, i watch very few anime series, dont follow the market and in my country it takes even more time for them to be published i think.
I dont know if/when the anime was finished in Japan and i dont know if it by now is not licensed outside it means it wont be period. Thats why i asked.
