Does anyone know if Venture Bros. will be creating more episodes? Because frankly, everything else is complete bullshit.
Tom Goes to the Mayor...some people say it's cool, but it musters a light chuckle, at best, and a complete ignoring at worst. If something makes it funny, it must be some sort of hallucinagen.
Super Milk-Chan is almost offensive it's so retarded. I guess it's supposed to be the a heavy mocking of anime with a touch of South Park and the randomness of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Instead, it becomes a seething hatred for all humanity, the wanton cursing of South Park and the retardation of ATHF.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force itself has gone steadily downhill. It's the same stuff, which was funny, but now it's old. There's been no change from it aside from the lack of Dr. Weird, arguably the best character.
Sealab...is just...as if they took the corpse of the old Sealab and dance it around like some hideous meat puppet. It should have stopped after Harry Goz died, and this "Sharko" crap signified that it's long, long, long overdue for the grave.
Futurama and Family Guy are both cool shows, but everyone's seen every episode at least six times.
Did I cover everything?
I think a better substitution for SMC would be Azumanga Daioh, assuming the dub makes an effort to Americanize a bit. (OH CRAP NOT FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL TRANSLATION BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS JP CULUTRE* WE'RE SCREWED SIRS.)New episodes of Family Guy will be airing this spring, so hopefully it'll transfer over to Adult Swim pretty quickly. They need to get rid of Futurama. If Simpsons weren't so lolpopular on Fox (boggles me I know), I'd suggest getting the first few seasons on Adult Swim. Not the new crap, but the happy old nostalgic episodes, for a smooth transition between two series.
But, yeah, I am seeing less of a point to watch Adult Swim, the only anime I watch sometimes is FMA, mostly because I've seen all the Inuyasha episodes subbed.

If Venture Bros. stagnates, it'll be over between me and adult swim! I declare it! 
I really only watch FMA and GitS, and I make a note to tape InuYasha since I've been playing Resident Evil and SimCity.
I also think it would be a good idea for [as] to pick up Azumanga Daioh and Excel Saga to replace the Mission Hill/Oblongs/Baby Blues/Home Movies block. This would help pick up the slump til summer when they start showing Samurai Champloo.
FMA is just about the only thing now I'd want to watch.

Can't do that, because then people will bitch they only show anime, plus I love Mission Hill maybe because I live on Mission Hill, new episodes would be nice but I know thats not going to happen. *sigh*
As for venture bros, they should know if there is going to be another season soon I think I'll look for that website I saw that on.

The FMA dub would've been a lot better if Funimation hadn't gotten their filthy hands on it.

I just watched this, infact I still need to go through the last DVD, and I agree that it would fit in pretty well. Even if the voice acting takes awhile to get used to.

Ed's voice lacks the same flare it had on the original. It hurts me. Al's is fine. The older fake Elric brother had a better voice actor than Ed. I just cannot deal with Ed's new voice.
I know of plenty of good dubs. Nothing Funimation has done qualifies as a good dub. ADV, sure. Whoever did FLCL is pretty good, too. FUNIMATION SUX
*PS Roy and Hughe's voice in the dub=major good.
besides, I have the subs and I

Slayers would bring me back. Easily. So would Sorceror Hunters.

There are plenty of good quality new anime series, too. It would keep [as] on the edge.

There was much rejoicing when Waisz said this:
Adult Swim needs to get new series, not old ones. Not Simpsons, not Slayers, not anything else that's more than 5 years old. New series.There are plenty of good quality new anime series, too. It would keep [as] on the edge.
most people haven't seen slayers. the good thing about slayers is that you can see one episode without seeing any others and just enjoy it, and you don't have to worry about it having to be censored and butchered. the fact most people havent' seen it either is good for them too.
other than that, i agree... though I understand it must be very costly to keep pumping out new shows like they do. i also understand that since they have a loyal audiance, they don't have to worry about keeping their content fresh as much as they used to. diadem fucked around with this message on 02-07-2005 at 05:34 PM.
Azumanga Daioh
Fushigi Yuugi
Kodocha (which is almost a definite thanks to the licensing by FUNimation)
Magic Knights Rayearth
Pita-ten
Not Evangelion.
Possibly Martian Successor Nadesico
Saber Marionette J
Maybe Revolutionary Girl Utena (but the dub really really sucks )
In other words, they gotta stop showing all action based anime and give some way to a new audience of people that like more comedy related stuff.
Not saying they should get rid of all the Shounen (boys anime) by any means, but seriously...there has to be some Shoujo (girls anime) to drag in that half of the anime fans.

Waisz wrote this stupid crap:
I disagree with the older series because so many people have seen them. There is new shoujo, too.
Hmm...newer shoujo that most people haven't seen...
Aishiteru ze Baby - I could definitely see this coming here. It's amazing.
Maria-sama ga Miteru - Nope. Too religious.
Rozen Maiden - This is a really neat series that people should start watching. It's very short, but has a good plot to it that keeps getting better the more of it I watch.
DearS - Oh god this would be chopped up.
Chobits (not so new and people have seen it, but w/e) - Not so chopped up, but who really wants to see the Chobits dub?
Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat - Oh geez, they should get this. I wanna see it so badly.
New Ah! My Goddess series - It's still running but should get licensed fairly soon. I think it would be a good candidate for an AS anime.
Angelic Layer - Hmm, this might be a good one.
Boys Be.. - This is another really good one, but I don't know how dirty it is because I haven't watched all of it.
Pretty Cure - This is a really awesome magical girl anime that has come out recently. It's fairly long running too which a lot of shoujo can't say.
Saint Tail - It's another old one, but I just remembered it. I wanna see it.
Fruits Basket - This seems to be a big hit and CN likes to pick up big names. 
Sakura Wars - A lot of stuff has been coming out for this series and with good reason. It kicks ass. Caters to both Shounen and Shoujo lovers.
Ayashi no Ceres - A little racy, but a kickass anime nonetheless. Yu Watase .
Risky Safety - Supposedly very good. Another one I want to see.
Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar - Because my boxtorrent stopped working for it.

I don't even like soap operas much, but I started watching the series on DVD on a Friday, and had finished all the seasons/movies by Sunday morning. It was that good.
I still watch Adult Swim anyway, but any anime they show that I enjoy I get impatient for more and buy the next day. The following weekend I'll have it done, making all the remaining episodes on Adult Swim reruns to me.
They did pretty well picking up FMA and ghost in the shell stand alone complex.
Don't forget guys, they did pick up saumari champloo and another series for this summer. That is pretty good considering how new the show is.
They also picked up the rights to show american dad so they are doing better.
I still watch most nights because there's not much else on save for a show here or there...but still. You can only see Wish Upon a Weinsten so many times before snapping. bloodfyr fucked around with this message on 02-08-2005 at 02:53 AM.

Trust me, I'm a genius.
But given my dislike of most anime I have had the pleasure of seeing, and the fact that many of the shows are rather childish to me, its not surprising.

Kegwen impressed everyone with:
Anti-FUNimation crap.
After the butchering they gave Dragonball, FUNimation became the best anime dubbing company out there today. Nobody does better than they do now. And don't you dare say ADV, because ADV can suck my left nut. After the butchering they gave to the Slayers movie and OVAs, I could care less if I every see an anime dubbed by them again. I have seen other animes dubbed by them since, but that's largely irrelevent. Probably tied with FUNimation right now is The Ocean Group(Inuyasha, Gundam SEED, Escaflowne).
All the others like ADV, U.S Manga Corps, are pretty mediocre.
Come to think of it, Tokyopop isn't doing too bad, either.
Dual would be great too. As would Vandread. All have both good comedy parts as well as good action parts.
