Ninjavenom I saw the card, you ho. I'm bad at reading sarcasm in text.

Anonymous People, please. You should never put so much faith in the movie reviews here. I'd hate to think that they might have to power to motivate you to see movies like Goldfinger, or Attack of the Clones. Regardless of what the astonishingly verbose Pichii has to say about it, Excel Saga is a funny, entertaining show.

That was sarcasm, you ninny; before one of the episodes of Blue Gender, they had a card that said, "does Yuji sound a little like Trunks?" I figured you'd catch that, since you are presumably watching the show on AS. You ass.

crash0814 Um...what's wrong with Akira?
Aug 8th, 2003 03:44 PM
Miss Modular I like the original programming best.

Protoclown I love anime, but it does NOT belong on Adult Swim.

That is all.
Aug 7th, 2003 04:43 PM
KILLADEUCE No offense to Piichi whatsoever here, but i agree: after reading that long winded rant on Excel Saga, i would be reluctant to run traffic lights so i could get home in time to see it. :/

I would at least check it out -

As has come along way since its inception, i think it is still going pretty strong, i have always been an anime fan but i have never been an afficianado or anything , alot of really good shows were brought to my attention through AS by proxy (Cowboy bebop, trigun- comes to mind) I would really like it if they re-ran the Old Fist of the North star episodes... that wold be kinda cool

Rongi HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A BATTLETOADS CARTOON

I must see it

On Excel Saga, I don't know if I ever could watch it and be entertained after reading this:

Anonymous It's not necessarily weirder that FLCL, it's just better; it's an entertaining sort of weirdness, not just random, pointless crap happening in every episode.
Aug 6th, 2003 10:40 PM
Ninjavenom All i ever recall Space Ghost saying was "damn" once during the episode where they're just coming up with a script, Jixby. :/

Haven't seen Excel Saga, but if it's even weirder than Fooly Cooly (?), i'm definitely interested.

As for Trunks voicing the guy? I can't recall many other people that sound like trunks in all the other dubbed anime i've seen over here. Likely he's just good at voices, but as long as it's not the fellow who does Goku or Samanosuke, it's plus points in my book.

edit: Goku is voiced by a fellow named Ian Corlett, who has a big-ass list of voicing credits. This is Trunks'. Notice a difference?

Truer words where never spoken, whoreable

whoreable Seriously I left that flcl on on after family guy. Not only does it make no sense, it is also ridiculously retarded. At least the other show afterwards is somewhat followable with my short attention span. Even so, they need to show futurama again and show some fucking reruns of Space Ghost. Maybe some cartoon planet too.

Bah. Excel Saga is a much better nonsensical humor anime.

Not to mention that they recruited some different voice acting for the shows, 'cause i'm getting kinda sick of hearing Goku voice everyone and their grandmother.
Yeah, it's nice to see that they gave the guy who voices Trunks other opportunities.
Aug 6th, 2003 07:36 PM
Esuohlim That's OK. You still suck for liking Oblongs.
Aug 6th, 2003 07:30 PM
backdoorviolator my favorites are Home Movies and The Oblongs. man, those shows are funny as hell. the anime stuff is stupid...my opinion though.
Aug 6th, 2003 07:26 PM
Esuohlim Oh yeah, the black and white text bumpers are faggoty too.
Aug 6th, 2003 05:22 PM
Comrade Rocket I like every portion of adult swim. It is cartoon genius. It mixes comedy and action together in one awsome package. And the cards are friggin' funny.

Hold Still...

Were trying to light your head on fire...

WITH OUR MINDS,


And is it bad that i like Akira and FLCL.
Aug 6th, 2003 04:17 PM
Rongi I don't even watch AS anymore. Except on sundays and when family guy is on
Aug 6th, 2003 02:48 PM
pissed off salesman The whole FLCL series is only 6 episodes long.
Aug 6th, 2003 01:48 PM
Cap'n Crunch I thought the part where he got huge and he blew up was cool. That's about it. :/

They are changing the Adult Swim line up in September again, so don't get used to it.
Aug 6th, 2003 12:43 PM
HickMan I truely dont see what is so great about Akira. Yeah I watched it all and it was ok. But the end was one of the lamest endings in a movie I have ever seen. The best part was when they were on the bikes in the begining.

I AM TETSEUO...LAME
Aug 6th, 2003 04:12 AM
Jixby Phillips That or Space Ghost in 1994.
Aug 6th, 2003 04:02 AM
Ninjavenom More than likely the AS idea came to them after they successfully ran the uncensored Gundam Wing shows at midnight a few years ago, and the ratings went higher. Don't be ungrateful, Milhouse.
Aug 6th, 2003 01:25 AM
pissed off salesman Fooly Cooly GOOD!!!! Akira BAD!!!
Aug 6th, 2003 01:20 AM
Cap'n Crunch Yeah, I don't really like anime much either. :/

The only anime I ever liked was this movie I saw on HBO. It was called Akira. It's fucking awesome.
Aug 6th, 2003 01:16 AM
Esuohlim I think anime fucked it up. I hate anime to begin with, but Adult Swim is slowly envelopping the comedy portion with the anime portion. As of now there are only about 6 hours of comedy a week and 9 hours of anime. 9 and a half now, I believe.

My opinion: Adult Swim USED to rule. It used to rule a lot.
