Code Geass R2 to Take Three-Week Break on Adult Swim

Kim Manning, the programming director of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block, revealed on her online boards that the Code Geass:Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 anime series on hiatus for the three week holiday weekends. The 6th episode ran last weekend, but Bandai Entertainment will not deliver the next new episode until January 10. In the meantime, Adult Swim plans to run repeats of favorite episodes. The anime sequel premiered on the network on November 2, right after the first Code Geass series ended its run.

Thank you Starks for the news tip.

Well, can't really blame Kim on this one, considering Bandai won't give them the episodes.

Jeez, after the trouble that Bandai went through to get Code Geass in a viewable time slot, they're not even sending the episodes on time?

 

[D Dubbs]

Hasn't Bandai been cutting back in some areas? It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't have episodes dubbed yet...

Man, I may not be a Geass fan, but this show is getting some horrible treatment.

 

[GWOtaku]

Oh well. They should run the Mao arc from season one again.

I hope one of the favorite episodes they air is last week's since I did not get a chance to see it.

So we are not gonna find out what Zero gonna do about Nunally until next year? Well that sucks.

I wish they show another new episode of Bleach instead of showing reruns of CG. That way we get to the canon stuff faster.

This actually couldn't have come at a better time for me personally; I won't feasibly be able to watch R2 online while at my parents' house during the holidays, due to a slower connection, and I'd hate to miss an episode while I'm gone. Good timing, Bandai.

 

[Dark Moridin]

Um.... Research?

Ok, this may be a bit behind the times, but after looking at both the AS schedual online, and even TVGuide.com, both say the same thing, both Bleach and CG are new this weekend, for the next few weeks, and with no breaks.

Of course, it also says that Moribito is supposed to be new on the TV Guide site, but there was no (P) on the AS schedual. Going to go and check episode number verses name to see if anything matches up.

Anyway, since I found these, can we get someone to confirm one or the other??? I know there is an article in the TC post, but it is still on the AS schedual.

 

[Captain Highwind]

Are they at least going to play last Saturday's episode online?

It is online.

 

[Captain Highwind]

It is online.

They need to update their front page.

They need to update their front page.

It looks updated to me.

This is breaking news, give WS a little time to update their schedule.

You wouldn't have missed any episodes regardless considering ASV is keeping full episodes online permanently.

 

[Jayngfet]

So that's why [AS] stopped giving anime the crap treatment, they got someone else to do it for them.

 

[Beat]

Seems like Bandai regrets airing Geass on Adult Swim more every day. Look, it's not like too many people were watching anyway, and the last few weeks of the year are uber-slow for TV. With that in mind, the break is understanable, if not applauded.

 

[Captain Highwind]

It looks updated to me.

Well aren't they being cute today. - -

Oh, they just made that update. Did you mean the Adult Swim front page? Maybe that wasn't, but the Adult Swim Video front page was updated when I posted that.

OMG NUU D:

*raids Bandai and forces them to air episodes 7 and up*

 

[ToliverChap]

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.
