Cool, I'm glad you guys like the thread.

Yes, ATHF is the best Adult Swim show, IMO. I'm glad to see that many people here enjoy it too.

I really haven't watched much of Adult Swim's anime.

Most of my Adult Swim viewing is online. Their website has premires on Friday nights at 6:00 PM, that way everyone can see the new shows earlier than Sunday night. I believe they change the shows on their website once a week. Check it out here: http://www.adultswim.com/video/index.html

They also have a new 3D game called Candy Mountain Massacre. It's pretty messed up, but fun at the same time.

I looooooove Metalocalypse. It's not always the funniest show, but I the presentation just grabs me. The 1st season finale is a perfect example, everything's so epic.

Ther are actually relatively few shows on Adult Swim that I've given a chance to and just flat out didn't like. Most things, like Robot Chicken, for example, at least have their moments.

Now, am I the only one who's really uncomfortable with the idea of Futurama no longer being on Adult Swim after New Years (I think)?

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 10-15-2007, 05:34 PM

Futurama is leaving Adult Swim after New Years? If so, oh man, that kind of bites. Although, I really haven't been watching it that much. I do enjoy it when I do watch though. Like the episode where Bender has a band with Beck.

I watched the first episode of Metalocalypse and decided that it just wasn't for me. Now, I do like the music.

"Dunkin Hills! Dunkin Hills! Dunkin Hills Coffee!"

Dr. Doom, I recieved a really awesome action figure of you in the mail today.

It even has a removable mask. Best. Comic. Book. Villian. Ever.

So.... does anyone think they should bring back Space Ghost Coast to Coast? I'm talking about new episodes.

That would be so neat, at least I think it would be.

**Jester** · 10-15-2007, 05:49 PM

I think it's leaving because it's coming back (with new episodes) to Comedy Central, that and there is a Direct to DVD movie being released soon.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-15-2007, 05:50 PM

Your minionship is appreciated. But leave the mask on. >:[

Cartoon Network's contract for Futurama expires on new years, I wanna say, at which point the old and new episodes will be broadcast on Comedy Central.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 10-15-2007, 05:58 PM

lol, I will be sure to leave the mask on. It's not a pretty sight seeing you without.... umm.... umm.... I mean such a great face must be protected by a metal mask. Yeah.... that's it!

New episodes on Comedy Central sounds good. It's too bad Adult Swim didn't get the new eps.

*gobo* · 10-15-2007, 05:58 PM

What I'd like to know is if they plan to have ATHF kill Space Ghost again. Seriously... I watched the ATHF movie almost exclusively for Space Ghost, and it was a 'blink and you'll miss it' 'SG ain't got **** on ATHF' thing. Needless to say, I was disappointed.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 10-15-2007, 06:03 PM

Hahahahahaha! Yeah, Space Ghost got owned in the ATHF movie.

The worst one was when his hands were blown off by that Squidbillie after the premire of Perfect Hair Forever. I was totally shocked and repulsed by that at the time. Then his head was squished down on top of Meatwad.

I kind of took that as Adult Swim saying 'Space Ghost is dead, make room for the new shows' but maybe it didn't really mean that.

*Hero* · 10-16-2007, 05:16 AM

The ATHF movie has just been released on DVD here. Might have to pick it up sometime soon.

We have adult swim on Bravo here in the UK. We don't get as many shows esp the anime although we now have our own anime channel with Bleach, FAC, Ghost in The shell etc on.

Adult Swim normally starts at midnight too which sadly is too late for me unless its a friday. It's also a shame our version of Toonami self destructed.

The Terror of Death · 10-16-2007, 06:19 PM

I sure hope Death Note is good. I read volume one of the manga and I couldnt really get into it. But I have enjoyed almost every anime AS aired so I shouldnt be that worried. They pick some of the best anime.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 10-16-2007, 06:27 PM

Futurama is the only reason I watch AS anymore. Family Guy has just gotten old.

Venture Brothers is by far the best thing on Adult Swim. I mean, the dude from Labyrinth turned into a bird!

Anime just doesn't appeal to me at all. The only stuff I've really been able to sit through is DBZ, Akira, and the Miyazaki movies.

Oh, and a long time ago I watched Ronin Warriors all the way through when it was airing one summer.

I can vouch for Death Note as being an interesting and overall decent anime. I thoroughly enjoyed the two movies. So you can look forward to it.

*KROW* · 10-16-2007, 08:11 PM

Meh, I think all the shows should be longer than 15 minutes. I'm getting tired of these late night orgasms of humor. It's there, it's great, then it's gone. F**k that, make them longer. Let us enjoy them more.

I never watched most of the anime they offered, as it was that wacky hooplah that I don't care for. Yet of all the programs they've aired, there were little I hated. That one with the drunk mouse was downright stupid, as is Squidbillies. If I wanted to see crap fly in random and nonsensical directions, I'll go to the zoo and watch the monkeys.

Everything else was pretty decent; Birdman, Aqua Teen, Brak, Venture Bros., Robot Chicken, and Space Ghost among my favorites. I also like Metalocalypse, even though most of its appeal is having to like the music genre.

Thad has been blown up on the show before. AS series dont care what happens to their characters so long as they tell the story because they act as if nothing happened the following week.

Well DUH, it WAS an ATHF movie, not a AS crossover with every series. If you were dissapointed with that, clearly you watch AS for predictable shenanigans and not the kind of humour ATHF has.

I would have liked them to have included the voiceover from SG in a fake ending detailing why "Wonderman" wouldnt return to Earth.

You are aware that there's no single channel on American television with more fondness towards disrespecting religions, right? O_o

Missed that one. Was it part of the PHF premiere or a Squidbillies ep? I refuse to watch Squidbillies due to its intolerable lameness.

Was that the ep where Dr. Weird decapitated SG in the intro? Otherwise, I don't remember it.

Good point.

I guess that's true, but not necessarily. I just prefer predictable silliness to other things that are supposed to be funny that I find to be uninspired shock-value. That's why I like Family Guy, but not South Park. FG doesn't focus nearly as much on gross-out humor, but doesn't try to put a moral at the end of the story to say, "See? We have SOME merit!" FG only aspires to be goofy, random entertainment. I guess that's why some love SP and hate FG. Diff'rent strokes, yo...

*Drtooth* · 10-20-2007, 09:53 AM

Firstly, am I the only one that knows that the "new" Futurama episodes are just going to be chunks of the DTV movies? it's not like we're missing anything epic. I don't have cable, and I can't watch CC, so I'll just get the movies, myself. I'd only be disappointed if these were new episodes I couldn't see. I hope they do well, so they can actually make new half hour episodes, and Fox could rerun them (Ala Adult Swim's Family guy deal).

I watch AS only online and DVD's. I love Space Ghost. I Love Harvey Birdman, and I really like ATHF. I thought the movie was just the most bizzarre fun I've had at the movies in some time. The only other movie that was that mishmoshed was that horrible "home on the Range" movie. And that one wasn't mish moshed on perpose.

You know, I'd love to see a new Space Ghost series, that is specifically a parody of the old Space Ghost series featuring the current style of SG.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-20-2007, 12:26 PM

I knew that.

*Drtooth* · 10-21-2007, 10:24 AM

Looks like they have a few scattershot whole episodes to watch on their website. They even have Astroboy!

*Cure* · 10-21-2007, 11:58 AM

I decided to check out Death Note since I was up at that time and it was pretty cool. A lot better than most other anime.

The Terror of Death · 10-21-2007, 01:18 PM

I was not entertained by the first episode of death note. Things seemed to move too quickly.
