Anime How CN gets on my last nerve!

ok, now I know that alot of you watch anime on DVD...however, I just got my job (which only pays $6.75 per hour, 30 hrs. per week), so I haven't had this available to me. So, instead I watch anime on tv. Which isn't so bad, especially when Sci-Fi Channel US showed late-night unedited anime movies. But all I have now is Cartoon Network & KTEH (a San Jose PBS station). KTEH doesn't edit either, & won't show stuff that's on nationwide. CN, on the other hand...


now, someone on the Twin Moons Forums told me that Toonami is an action program. OK. But how in the world is Hamtaro action???

& If it's called Adult Swim, why is it edited for little of nothing (like someone who smokes, or a guy hitting on another guy)?

& where did Cadidate for Goddess go? I was just starting to like that show?

& ok, but Toonami has practically turned into an anime program...so who told them that Powerpuff Girls was anime???

*Samurai Jack* would have been a better choice.

Last, but not least...aren't there more interesting movies than all the Sailor Moon movies they keep showing us.

So, in truth, I think the programming manager at Cartoon Network ought to be shot....

or, better yet, an Anime Network needs to be created for Basic Cable subscribers.

 

yawn.. we are such prudes are we?

You do know that when Cowboy Bebop was first shown over there, they couldn't show a lot of the episodes. Episodes 1 and 5 for example were too much and were not shown.

Also, we are the country with uncensored hard-core pr0n, not them. A bit of reading will tell you it's illegal over there without parts being blurred out

This is not to say Cartoon Network doesn't suck..

 

So desu. We get pretty much no anime on TV here in ireland, and we can get very very little in the shops. Most of that is dubbed VHS too. I have to import DVDs from the states ot download it to be able to watch any anime at all almost. I don't even have a hob. 'Tis hard being eirtaku.

 

well AS got rid of Canidate and added Inuyasha with i think is better. And i dont get it either PowerPuff? get rid of it and anything. Well each Friday Toonami shows a different Inflight movie. Last Week it was Sailor Moon Super S, this week is iron giant( :anger2: ). Toonamis doing a Cartoon one week the next is anime, then a cartoon then an anime. so next week is an anime. But toonami does a lot of stupid things

 

You see anime movies on TV?????????!!!!!
I'm so jealous! The only anime I've seen on tv are (all horribly dubed for kiddies) TenchiMuyo(gone)Sailormoon, GundamW(gone)Beyblade(gone), Hamtaro, Pokemon,Digimon,Medabots.......
It's a sickening selection.
sorry, I didn't mean to sound so ratty

 

We got to see blue submarine 6 on Toonami, but it bored me out of my skull:dizzy2: I bet the original version is actually watchable!

 

i hate it when CN edite animes on the Adult Swim..why is it called an ADULT SWIM ...
thank good that there are uncut version's...

 

While your arguments are right, we have to establish one thing:

AT LEAST IT'S [I[SOME[/I] ANIME. <not meant to be a yell, mind you. ^^;>

See, even though it's cut, it's still something, y'know? Local TV doesn't exactly give you your dose of anime. (Telemundo -- which was on Animerica! YAY! ^^ -- airs Slam Dunk, Pokémon, Ranma 1/2, and Dragonball Z. That's it. On Saturday mornings. Only.)

If we find out that it's been horribly cut (like the classic examples, Sailor Moon <DUH> and DBZ <honestly, "blow you to another dimmension"? or whatever it is they say~>) then we can just go out and rent or purchase uncut tapes or DVDs, or read about them on the internet. It's not that big of a deal.

I wanted to watch Sailormoon Super S dubbed because I own the uncut version. (It was the only DUB dub I hadn't seen). And for one thing, the Sailor Moon dub has brought LOTS of people into anime, so we HAVE to owe SOMETHING to the people who aired it, right? (Even if it is cut!)

And the censorship laws? It can't be helped. Let's just deal. We'll get our chance to watch the uncut stuff sooner or later anyway.

--and as for CN getting on my nerves, I digress: I LOVE Zoids Chaotic Century! ^__^ And lots of other stuff! (I think we all just need to learn to count our blessings... *meep*)

 

Yeah I agree with you. But as for Candidate for Godess, I was kind of getting into it, But I do like Inuyasha so that's okay I guess. I had no Idea that Sci-Fi showd anime movies UN CUT!Had I known that I would have got that channel a long time ago!But anyway, a lot of uncut stuff has brought a lot of people into the world of anime. So there is something that people see. America......man sometimes.......

From what little I've seen of the original (four eps or so I think) I rather doubt it It was a show built around the premise that CG is cool, and it seems everything else (like interesting plot) was sacrificed to that. For once, Toonami is IMHO not guilty

 

I agree with Stardust...

Suer it does sort of bother me that they would censor and cut out scenes from anime. But it would bother me a lot more if they didn't show anime at all... I mean some people don't even get anime on TV. And yeah if you want to see what they took out of these anime's then go and buy the original version. I'm just glad that most of the time they don't take out too much of the plot and storyline of the show (oi... besides what they did to Escaflowne).

 

Cheer up, it could be worse.

Know how they have basic cable?

I got substandard cable.

Of the 14 channels I get, 3 are simulcasts and 4 arent english.

Which means 7 channels are ones I can watch.

They are mostly news oriented except for a couple which show Simpsons from time to time.

So far its the only thing I don't like about college.
