    Please excuse my ignorance but I'm quite new to anime and I just don't know anything about these shows! I know all the shows except what seems to be on at the 12AM slots.
    I saw an add for all the new Adult Swim shows they are going to show in the next few months and I havn't heard of any of them! I think they'd all be in the same 12 AM slot because that's the only one they've changed in months (and besides, how could we sacrifice any other time slot?)
    First they used to show Trigun at 12 and that show I've caught on to.
    But then they started to show Lupin the 3rd, and I've only recently heard how old that show is! I'd love to know more about it even though it's not on anymore.
    Now they show Kidkaider which appears to be a very good show (although I was concerned at first. I was wondering how they could consider it an adult show, but one they get past the first few episodes it becomes more developed.) They call it a "classic" show, although the technology seems rather modern (the scene where they show the girl on the computer.) The art seems rather old-style though (hey I've only gotten into anime but I'm catching on to the differances in style...), so just how old and classic and popular is this show?
    I kinda forget what other shows they said they were gonna have, but they were strongly promoting what they called the "Big O." What's the "Big O?" They made it sound like a big deal, but I can't think of any animes I've heard of (the few I have heard of) that start with O.

    I can't remember all the animes they listed, maybe some one could look it up for me. Right now I'm gonna attempt to go to Adultswim.com although I'd doubt it work from this school computer, and it'll be a while before I can use a differant one.

    hey I managed to get in, although the games section is blocked (darn.)
    That schedual listing stinks. I went to TV Guide online and some reason neither they nor adultswim.com seem to list Cowboy Bebop, although starting the 15th Adultswim.com claims Lupin will be in the Bebop 1:30 slot...

    wow am I confused...they're always changing the schedual! However, I LOVE those black-n-white cards! I could read em all day and night! They're hilarious, and the music rules :D

    The Big O actually started out on Toonami some year and half ago...anyway if they do take Bebop off most likely they'll have a ton of complaints heading toward them...

    I think Lupin comes on at like 1:30 EST, at least it did last night. Looks like it replaced Cowboy Bebop.

    well other shows of adult swim
    AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE- hated it
    THE BRAK SHOW- stupid and hated it
    FAMILY GUY- like it
    HARVEY BIRDMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAW - hated it
    HOME MOVIES- pointless and hated it
    MISSION HILL- dumb and hated it
    THE OBLONGS- funny in a werid way
    THE RIPPING FRIENDS- pointless and hated it
    SEALAB 2021- dumb it ruined sealab and hated it
    SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST- still on? thats just wroung. Hate it
    LUPIN THE 3RD- reminds me of a show
    TRIGUN, kakaider and regin i have not really seen.
    I like inuyasha, and futurama, sometimes cowboy behop.

    I give adult swim two around the worlds thumbs down for most of the shows suck. AND a big B for baaaad programming. adult swim should be more anime and less cartoon pornish.

    You hate most of the show I hate. :D I agree, they should show more anime. It's cooler and not dumb or pointless. ;)

    for the few times that i have watched adult swim, i can say that it was pritty good, but now that they have changed the line up i can say that it sucks!!! i havent met a person yet who likes the change....but i do think that they should put .hack//sign, trigun, and inuasha (cant spel right now) on toonami, and take DBZ and Justis League off!!!!

    Toonami's (hopefully) New line up:
    (heres to me wishen eh?)
    4.00: Trigun
    4.30: .hack//sign
    5.00: inuasha
    5.30: Cyborg 009
    6.00: yu yu hakusho
    6.30: Kenshin
    7.00: tenchi
    7.30: Sailor moon
    there is the best line up i think they should have, what do you think!?(are there any others?)

    I don't think they would show it all the way to 7:30. They'll probably take the cuss word out of anime. They did for RK and YYH. I'm hopping they would show all my fave on either adult swim or anime network.

    Fushigi Yugi
    Inuyasha
    .hack//SIGN
    Ranma 1/2
    Rurouni Kenshin
    Card Captor Sakura (Yeah, I still sorta like this show. Like not obessed)

    Can't think anymore. But it would be nice if they show these shows.

    where i live they no longer even show tenchi and sailor moon!! They have other gay little programs that no one watch. mysticalangel is right tho they would edit is and then it wouldnt even be a good show any more. I also like your plan for tunami too mysticalangel. Email Cn with your ideas every one. . .cartooncomments@turner.com The more emails we send it the more likly they will change what they have done!!

    Look I don't watch Toonami because I'm really more into the adult stuff. I'm just interested in what changes in the schedual Adult Swim will have in the next few months. I've seen one of their adds listing the "new" shows, including Big O, plus several others.
    I absolutely love Cowboy Bebop but I don't mind that they took it off. Trigun is OK but I don't miss it either.
    I'm starting to love Kidaider, although I'm not going to watch Reign the Conquerer, but I do watch Lupin the 3rd (VCR timers r nice.)
    If any1 is curious, this is the current schedual for my area at least (NE):
    11: Futurama
    11:30: Family Guy
    12: Kidaider
    12:30: InuYasha
    1: Reign
    1:30: Lupin the 3rd.

    But that's not want I need to know. I guess no one else has seen this comercial!
