    Would Adult Swim succeed if they targeted teenagers?

    yes! ... it might. Really, I hope they are targeting teens. I know that things have changed since I was one in the 90's but still, when you don't have a car and you are sick of the net it's nice to know there are some event shows to watch that are maybe a little outside the norm in terms of...

    Adult Swim Saturday Night Schedule Changes (7/28)

    What the frak I thought Venture Bros. was coming back in August? hmmm hopefully sometime in September. I'm still making up my mind about Keikashi. It could be one of those stupid shows that gets better a little more serious (not dark and harsh or anything just more focused and dramatic) but if...

    It's official- Cleveland Show heading to Adult Swim

    Yes! Oh man so they can put a solid hour block of that on Saturday nights now too. Wow I didn't watch this when it was on Fox (because it was crap) so now I'll be able to catch up. No ... wait I won't do that. This just makes me a sad panda. That said some of the newer FG eps have been...

    Toon Zone Talkback - "Last Exile" Flys High

    This is the talkback thread for "Last Exile" Flys High. I can't believe the original recordings are 5.1. I love this show and would probably rebuy it just for a 5.1 mix. It's a no brainer that a show with flying ships zooming around needs a 5.1 mix. If this show gets a 5.1 rerelease I hope...

    I remember when Adult Swim used to be fun.

    That's funny for me those salad days years would probably be something like 2002-2004. I wonder if it's just the nostalgia or a generation thing? There was the original Saturday block then the emergence of the weekday stuff with a proper combination of Futurama, Lupin III, and Trigun or some...

    Is The Venture Brothers too difficult to follow now?

    I have not seen any of season 4 nor the last 2 of season 3 but from what I've seen I can say that is has become quite complex. And even in some cases less funny. BUT I am excited by this complexity and feel that ultimately with a show that is this exclusively controlled by it's creators the...

    Is another expansion nigh?

    I remember years ago when I had Direct TV and got AS on from the Eastcoast feed Watching eps of Big O Season 2 premiere at 8 PM in the Summer (still light out and for a noir show) it was truly a strange and great time.

    Schedule Change 8/28

    New Venture Bros. in October that's awesome! I was thinking it wasn't going to be until November. I guess we'll see though.

    Should Adult Swim drop anime altogether?

    I have to say no. Sure things are rough now. And the loss of Toonami has been tough but people still like action cartoons damn it! And if Cartoon Network intends to deserve that title then they can't possibly allow themselves to be relegated to just absurdist comedies and crap about high...

    Code Geass R2 to take Three-week break on Adult Swim

    That was cool of Kim Manners to do that. She could have just opted to put on her favorite or defaulted to something but she put it to the board posters and thereby showed that Adult Swim can be cool to their fans.

    "If this mission fails, If we are unsuccessful. We have no future."

    It's all about the "nothing good" with "normal people" quote.

    Toonami unofficial Soundtrack/BG Music question

    artist: Plaid track: Mary Album: Spokes The excited bit of this track about 1 minute or so into it was used in the ad for the first Naruto movie that was running during the hundo marathon. I'm still wondering if anybody has a clue about what track was used for this old Astro Boy promo...

    The Only Way to Save Saturday Nights entirely...

    Screw Family Guy. I say they should shoot the moon with Saturday. Turn it over to the Toonami guys (who know how to market stuff) and give them six months to do what they think will work to regain the action cartoon audience. Since the [as] action is more "adult" it would allow them to kick...
