I don't get Adult Swim in Canada, but of the shows I've seen the best seem to be ATHF, Harvey Birdman, The Brak Show and Sealab 2021. I really haven't seen anything bad, but I'm sure I would if I had the channel.

IceFlash78 04-11-2005 08:45 PM

EDIT: Misread the Topic title.. thought it was poll for favorite AS shows in general (GO FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST!)... my bad.

Favorite: Family Guy
(Followed closely by Futurama, Venture Brothers, and ATHF)

Least Favorite: Super Milk Chan... it looks so kiddy..

I don't really watch Adult Swim... I only see those shows once in a while and see the last five minutes of super milk chan when its before a show i want to see...

ThirdMarioBro 04-11-2005 10:06 PM

Favorite: Tie between Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Harvey Birdman

Least Favorite: None.

DrSpengler 04-12-2005 10:13 AM

I didn't include the animes in my post since they aren't "Adult Swim originals", but yeah, Super Milk Chan is terrible. It makes Tom Goes to the Mayor look like comedy gold. Wasn't too fond of Trigun, either.

愛 04-12-2005 10:15 AM

No Trigun? Whoa. I thought everybody liked Trigun. Heh.

That Matt Guy 04-12-2005 10:36 AM

Favourite: ATHF and I must confess a love for Robot Chicken.

Least Favourite: Everything that isn't ATHF or Robot Chicken.

I'm not a big fan of whacky anime facial expressions, and Trigun had those in spades. I couldn't take Vash after a little while.

Jephael 04-13-2005 02:23 PM

My favorite has got to be Futurama followed closely by Family Guy!

I can't really say I have a least favorite because I don't always watch Adult Swim.

Offtopic: When does Trigun comes on?

Ontopic: Yeah.. I realize that those anime expressions are unique to anime, but as a person who's not accustomed to them, I feel that they take away from the quality of the show.

Example: Fullmetal Alchemist. This show is one of the best anime I've seen. It is very dark and an engrossing story. Like one review said... when you watch it, you don't think.. "What's gonna happen next?" You think "What will the Elric brothers do next?" The show progressely gets darker and darker. HOwever, it has a tendency to use werid facial expressions and werid anime techinques.. ("pandering" is that what its called?) to add "humor." As a viewer, it often isn't "humorus" and it actually ruins the atmosphere...

Imagine if the show was becoming tense and action/revelations was mounting up and up.. then all of sudden, a werid anime techinque pops up... it ruins the suspense...

However...it does not happen too FREQUENTLY in Fullmetal Alchemist, and the quality of the story overriddes it.

Back on topic.. I misread the topic title.. I thought it was a poll for favorite AS shows in general, so I edited my post.

DrSpengler 04-13-2005 06:06 PM

I don't think they're running Trigun currently. They go off and on with the show.

I think Cowboy Bebop did the anime facial expressions perfectly. The only one that had them was Ed becuase she was the comic relief. And aside from a huge grin, her's really weren't that over the top. None of that "falling over whenever someone says something surprising" bullsh*t, anyway.

Well, Cowboy Bebop was a great show is just about everyway, anyhow.

Dane E5R 04-13-2005 06:29 PM

Trigun still comes on. Every night, right after InuYasha.

ZariusTwo 04-13-2005 06:36 PM

Trigun never got it's due I think...it was'nt mainstream enough and only appeared in the U.K (birefly) on the CNX block before it became Toonami, and they never aired it afterwards. At all.

They don't air Alchemist either, (yet, they might though) which is a shame, as I find it and Shaman King to be the finest Anime dubs (and anime shows) in YEARS

Amen to that lol.. I only saw ONE episode, and because of it, I went out and bought the Cowboy Bebop: the Movie...it's a great movie! I also like the way Cowboy Bebop did the expressions... they felt.. NATURAL... Ed's the exception.. but it FIT her.. like you said.. I need to find them on DVD.... *mutters*

One other anime show did it well too: Escaflowne (offical title: Visions of Escaflowne).. they had "expressions" which they used to show.. disgust or envy.. it wasn't as...natural as Cowboy Bebop, it was apporpriate and wasn't excessively used or too overlydone. Pity Escaflowne focused too much on Hitomi (the female character).. I always found Van to be more interesting...

DrSpengler 04-13-2005 07:31 PM

I have fansubs of the entire Escaflowne series and the movie laying around somewhere. I traded the first two seasons of the Real Ghostbusters for them.

I made it through the first 3 episodes before I lost interest. I should probably give it another try, I just keep getting side-tracked.

Dane E5R 04-13-2005 07:35 PM

Waaaay off topic, but... I've got one problem with the Shaman King dub, and that is Lenny's voice. He just looks like he deserves a deeper, more bad ass voice.

I got interested in Escaflowne through the badly edited show that briefly aired on FoxKids a few eyars ago. I just rediscovered it when i found the entire series on DVD a few weeks ago.

It starts off weakly.. I personally didn't really get interested until Episode 8? (i'll have to look later) and then I didn't really get hooked until episode 13 or so.. At first, its just a dopey love story.. but eventually, it refocuses on political intrigue and the question of Fate/Free Will... and then it uses the love story to end the series (which will make sense if you watch it)

Its not as specatular as Cowboy Bebop or FMA... I didn't like the love story at first, but by the end, I liked it.. it made for some teary moments... Hitomi isn't an interesting character though... I always perferred Van, and feel that the show could ahve been better if it focused on Van more.. but it has a speical place in my heart as my first anime series... I guess its something that one should watch once then sell it?

I liked the movie though.. the movie will probably be better if you saw the series first, so you can see all the changes they made to the cahracters/story...If it wasn't so short and the romance so forced, it could have been better than the tv series.

No offense, but you gotta be kidding me. :o

ZariusTwo 04-13-2005 09:41 PM

The series did a great deal of marvelous things, the concept of Escaflwone and the execution with the anime however, are always uneven, on one side, Van, Alan, and many of the other male, beastial and female characters are particulary strong and fleshed out, but Hitomi seems very...VERY forced.

I think the movie was a masterpeice, it balanced the premise and the execution in almost shapless form, it seemed more reallistic, and more to the point, rather than drag, of course, given the movie format, that's where it's main strengths lie

No joke, Shamen King>the likes of Yu-Gi-Oh and Naruto as a manga and an anime, that's just my opinion however, the dub is'nt even THAT bad, better than Sonic Echhhhhhhh any day...

That's not to say I don't like Yu-Gi-Oh and Naruto, both mangas are great.

I'll give ya that. Spew...

DrSpengler 04-14-2005 09:27 AM

Well, when I traded my Real Ghostbusters tapes for Escaflowne I was expectng a real sword and sorcery series but it felt more like...a magical girl series. It deserves another chance. But I instantly disliked Hitomi. First she was gushing over that trackstar, then she was gushing over that blonde guy, all the while you knew she was going to end up with Van since he's the hero.

I dunno, maybe I should watch the movie first to get a better feel for the series and then try and watch the entire tv series if I like it. Maybe I can appreciate it more.

I just bought the Harvey Birdman Volume 1 set, and that must say something about how much I dig that show, since I haven't bought any of the other sets of the AS toons.

Wow... just... wow...... you won't be "hung" for that. I think that deserves worse... like hearing Fran Drescher's laughter for several hours, straight. Just kidding..... or am I?

Favorite: 1. Aqua Teen Hunger Force; 2. Family Guy; 3. Robot Chicken Sandwich/Futurama

Least: 1. Super Milk Chan (wow... second worst thing to come on the Cartoon Network, in general, next to that Totally Spies bullsh*t); 2. Tom Goes To the Mayor (just retarded as hell); 3. Sealab 2021 (it's not that bad, but I seem to not find the humor in this show a lot of the time)

Spitfire 04-21-2005 12:26 PM

What is Milk Chan? Isnt that some cutey anime character like Hello Kitty? I never saw that show. I just got the last of the Adult Swim DVDs Ill be buying for awhile recently. I might get some of the Space Ghost ones though. The Brak Show on DVD haha oh man
