| "Okay, here's what you REALLY want to hear. Toonami info. Six "new" anime series will debut on Toonami before the year is through, and they are: *drumroll please* Outlaw Star (duh), Mobile Suit Gundam (The original series that started it all!!!!), Pilot Candidate, Big O, Gundam 8s AND as I reported just a week ago, although talks are NOT finished yet, DRAGON BALL. Yes that's right. We'll come full circle and start with Son as a child again. Cartoon Network's VP of Programming has told that they really want to do Dragon Ball as opposed to GT, despite the fact that so many fans want GT, because there's a lot more to work with, (just about a hundred episode more). So there you have it. Cartoon Network has already aquired the last 96 episodes of DBZ and the series will finish up before the year is over. The new episodes of DBZ will be airring this coming summer. Also, expect to see some other anime around the Toonami block as well. Escaflowne will be in there, and the n! etwork is delving into the possibility of Cowboy Bebop. They'd need to edit the series....naturally....and they don't want to show it in a heavily edited format, (quite honorable of them I must say. Ashame others aren't/weren't like that *cough cough* FUNi *cough cough*). On the side of edits, CN really really REALLY wants to make an adult oriented section of programming. But apparently children are watching the station at all times, (wierd), so it's still a no-go as of now." |
