    I was just wondering this plus it is to prove a point. So please tell. Plus say which ones you watch.

    I do watch CN and other anime. I watch Inuyasha (if you know me you would know this), Sailormoon (when it was on), Pokemon, YGO, Witch Hunter Robin, Big O, DBZ and more.

    As far as the ones that are not on there is Naruto, Weiss Kruez, X, Chrno crusades, and more. So type all.

    I really dont have access to other animes outside Cartoon Network but Cartoon Netwok has a lot of great animes. My favorites are DBZ and Inuyasha. Im getting into Kenshin too.

    Yes, I watch some of the anime they show on CN, but I mostly watch other stuff. Right now, I'm watching Naruto, Chrno Crusade, Fullmetal Alchemist, and a host of others I can't think of right now.

    I watch the stuff on CN and... what is it... TechTV? o_O They've been showing stuff like Silent Mobius, which I'm finding difficult to get into, probably in part because of the dubbing...

    On CN, I occasionally watch Witch Hunter Robin, .hack//SIGN, Inu Yasha, and Cowboy Bebop. It's there, I may as well watch it when nothing better is on. But the majority of anime that I've seen hasn't been aired in the US. I don't really like dubs.

    Short list of what I've seen subbed: Escaflowne, Evangelion, Fushigi Yuugi, Saiyuki, Yami no Matsuei, Ranma ½, Dirty Pair: Flash, Lum, etc.; various movies; short yaoi stuff like Kizuna, Boku no Sexual Harassment, Level-C; bits and pieces of a number of good series... And then there's the crap like Grappler Baki, and all the other titles that aren't worth remembering. XD

    EDIT: Forgot to mention, I saw Rurouni Kenshin back before CN got ahold of it, and I haven't touched their dub. XP Bakuretsu Hunters, a teeny little bit of the Star Ocean anime... Eh. I've forgotten half of what I've seen. There was a short series... Ruin Explorers might've been the name... o_O; Pretty obscure.

    Basically, I watch CN casually - I don't really think their dubs are worth paying much attention to. If I like a series they run, I'd rather find it subbed on DVD.

    I guess you could say I watch the anime on CN in a matter of speaking... More appropriately, Adult Swim.

    I watch Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL and Witch Hunter Robin. But, really, I've never watched Trigun or Witch Hunter Robin ON CN. I just watch them (as I own them; was obsessed with getting that Witch Hunter Robin special box since the first time I saw it in Suncoast ;P So I got that, and then the second DVD the first day it came out, have the other episodes fansubbed. Going to get the third DVD when I get the chance and will grab up the fourth in May as soon as I can), but they are, conveniently being shown on CN. I saw several episodes of CB on CN before I bought the series and watched it on DVD thus forth. I saw FLCL from the DVDs of a friend but I did watch an episode on Adult Swim afterwards. Then I watched an episode or two of the Big O and Inuyasha to conclude I didn't like either. And I'm acquainted with Yu-Gi-Oh as I watched several episodes when it was on the WB and my girlfriend likes the series, and Dragon Ball Z is what got me started into anime, honestly, a long times back, but I stopped watching that a long time ago. Never bothered with Dragon Ball or GT.

    Anime outside of CN that I watch consists of Vampire Princess Miyu, Hellsing, Great Teacher Onizuka, Colorful, Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, Orphen's Revenge, watched several episodes of Sorceror Hunters, Golden Boy and Initial D. Oh, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. A few episodes of Those Who Hunt Elves (well... actually I didn't pay much attention to those ;P) and Full Metal Panic. Will probably end up watching Revolutionary Girl Utena sometime in the future since a friend of mine is buying the series.

    As far as the movies and likes go, Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, a small bit of the Cowboy Bebop movie, Ninja Scroll, Ninja Ressurection, some Sorceror Hunters OVA, a little bit of Akira, and Perfect Blue. Oh, and Spriggan. And I watched some of the subbed DBZ movies a whiles back, when I was into it, before I started watching other anime.

    I think that's it.

    Oh yeah. I watched a bit of Rurouni Kenshin, 'cause I had one of the DVDs, but never bothered to watch it on CN (was more interested in finding the manga, instead). Not sure if they're still showing it or not. :eek: But that afternoon timeslot for CN is already taken up for me (the whole Judge Judy, King Of The Hill, Simpsons thing. :p Ain't nothing replacing that).

    I'm sure there's other little miscellaneous series that I'm forgetting.

    [EDIT] KNEW I forgot something; I've seen the first eight episodes of the Gungrave anime too, fansub. [/EDIT]

    What I watch on Cartoon Network? Scooby Doo. Heh. I really don't watch any anime on CN, and if I do happen to catch some...I usually just graze it, then leave. I probably watched one episode of SD Gundam, a few of Dragon Ball Z (the Frieza Saga), and maybe a few other random shows. But, never as a direct source of my ani-tainment.

    As far as series I'm watching? Naruto, Chrno Crusade, Read or Dream, Shinkon Gottai Godanner, Maburaho, Mezzo DSA, Prince of Tennis, Maria-Sama ga Miteru, Scrapped Princess...

    Series I've watched? Bubblegum Crisis (Original and 2040), Love Hina, RahXephon, Evangelion, Kare Kano, I My Me! Strawberry Eggs, Maze Megabust Space, Onegai Teacher, Onegai Twins, Azumanga Daioh, FLCL, Angelic Layer, Read or Die, Photon: the Idiot Adventures, Hellsing, Angel Sanctuary, Hand Maid Mai, Hand Maid May, Ranma ½ OAV, Princess Nine, Magic Knights Rayearth (which was a total waste of 7 DVDs to me), etc etc etc etc...

    See...I really don't watch stuff that's over-commercialized (or *WASN'T*, in any case) here. There's something that turns me off about it. I used to be a BIG fan of Bebop...until CN shows it two years later. Then I just don't bother anymore. CN is there just like most TV stations are there for me. Something to surf through.

    Unless CN is playing Scooby Doo (the original ones) ... or some of the older Batman cartoons ...


    EDIT:
    Oh, by the way the question is said on the top...you're making it seem as no matter which way the poll goes...it'll be...I dunno, extremely biased. There should have been a "Don't watch CN anime" on there.

    Cartoon Network is what got me started into anime but I watch others as well. From CTN I watch Rurouni Kenshin, .Hack//Sign, Big O, Inuyasha, Witch Hunter Robin, Cowboy Bebop, Blue Gender, FLCL, Trigun, and a little bit of DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho when Im tired of being on the computer.
    I watch Anime Unleashed on TechTV as well. From them I watch Dual! - Parallel Trouble Adventure, Gatekeepers 21, Geneshaft, Betterman, Banner of the Stars, Crest of the Stars, Silent Mobius, and Last Exile when it starts.
    I also download fansubs, but I'm farely limited to what I can get considering I'm only a 56K. So in fansubs: Onegai Twins, Shingetsutan Tsukihime, Happy World!, Maria-sama ga Miteru, Green Green, and will start on Le Portrait de Petit Cossette when it comes out.


    Sci-fi channel plays anime??? :eek:

    Hi I'm new, I don't know what I'm doing but so what!
    you're so right, uk CN sucks! Toonami did have some good stuff until it got banished to "children's tv"
    argh!
    but they are slightly redeemed by playing Big O. Did anyone see the first 4 episodes? I managed to miss them. *cries*

    At this point in time, no, not really. Other then a few DVDs I've watched at a friend's house, I generally stick to CN. I plan to buy some Fruits Basket DVD's in the future, so maybe I can broaden my horizons a LITTLE bit.

    Generally the only animes I've ever spent a lot of time on were .hack//sign and Inuyasha, and I suppose you could say I was a casual fan of Witch Hunter Robin and Cowboy Bebop. O.K, I'll admit it, I spent a lot of time on DBZ as well (I was 11 and stupid :p).

    Seeing as I watch very little Cartoon Network...well, you get the idea. I was introduced to anime through friends, and I watch most of my anime either on DVD or through downloaded fansubs. Mostly on DVD.

    At the moment I am watching (or rewatching) The Twelve Kingdoms, Super GALS, Naruto, Puchi Puri Yuushi, Saiyuki, Fruits Basket, Trigun, and several other series I can't remember off the top of my head. Out of that list, only Trigun plays on CN (through Adult Swim), and I am not watching it on CN.

    Since I came to visit my family I've been watching Code: Lyoko and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on CN, but they don't exactly fall into the Japanese anime group.
