Adult Swim Hates Anime
C&P from a Mousy onwank_report.
Anime News Network announces that Adult Swim will be changing its Saturday schedule to include less anime. Code Geass and Moribito will now be airing during the 5AM-5:30 timeslot, respectively, and Adult Swim will resume with FMA reruns. Full details here.
Fans are not too happy about this, as is evident in the discussion forums here.
Some react with disappointment, while others go batshit. Here we get some gems:
"In any case, this further proves that [AS] has no idea how to handle anime. For their crimes, I sincerely hope that Mike Lazzo gets hit by an 18-wheeler. Ditto Tim and Eric, for they are the cancer that is killing [AS].
I've been watching Code Geass, Moribito, and Bleach religiously since they first premiered, and for [AS] to go and eat up Saturday nights with more comedy is nothing but a giant "fudge you!" from them to us. Not only should they be given the most severe punishment known to man, but [AS] must also pay millions of dollars in reparations to the individuals they wronged. To make these illegal schedule changes shows that [AS] WANTS CG and Moribito to fail. They're sabotaging those shows just like they did with Eureka Seven, thus proving that they're a bunch of shitbags who can't handle anime properly. Good shows deserve better, and this needs to be written into law, with all violations carrying the death penalty."
"ok this last act of asshattery has done it fudge adultswim I'm sticking to buying the DVDs for bleach and geass since I'm not big on morbito, but seriously fudge adult swim and may everyones hopes of the licensing companies take it to other stations and tell AS to fudge off"
"Still, good shows like Code Geass and Moribito deserve better. It's obvious that [AS] wants them to fail. For that, I propose a raid on their offices to FORCE them to give these shows the good treatment they rightfully deserve!"
"That's right. Get rid of [anime], all of it. You play circle-jerk with all your loyal fans 24/7 with the schedule and now you have the balls to push what could have been a comeback action series for you WHICH MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU GAVE IT SOME GOD ** dragon breath ** ADVERTISING!!!! to a place where no one will have the chance to discover it.
Anime is too good for you, [as]. Sell all your contracts to someone who gives a ** dragon breath ** about scheduling and audience flow and start airing 6 straight hours of Family Guy instead. It's the only thing you have that people care about anyway.
Oh, and maybe, just maybe, if you pulled your heads out of your ** dragon breath ** long enough to identify that you have more people watching than college-age stoners, you might realize you're pulling in some ** dragon breath ** good numbers.
Elitist bastards....
*shoots an owl in your honor*"
