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:FMA was a hit, though.

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:FMA Seemed fine to me. And the viewership on saturdays is usually low, when they post it, its in the 250,000-200,000 range.
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:All I know is, if they don't pick up Gurren Lagann I'm never watching Adult Swim again.

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:Check the last few pages.
Genshiken season 2= Best comedy show of the season.
Linkzg said: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 howMihashi 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.

Clannad is the best show this season.

Masta_Killah said: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

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

Kaiji is turning out to be okay. It is really really pissing me off thathe 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.
avatar299 said:I think Kaiji acted that way, becuase deep down he knows he would have done the same. Every step of the way he acted with an ulterior purpose and motive. The only selfless thing he did on the ship was save that man in the other room
