New Adult Swim -- What do you think?

[Soel]

Galaxy Rangers, Thundercats, X-Men:Evolution, Bionic Six, Robotech, etc. There are so many "classic" shows that could be on and many that are not available on DVD yet.

Galaxy Rangers has a boxset out now. I would love to see one for Bionic Six and Thunderbirds 2086 as well...

More on topic, I love ATHF, Robot Chicken, and Sealab 2021, but haven't seen any of the newer shows...

There was this one show on Saturdays a while back. I forget the name, but it was tied together because of this "Little Slugger" guy who'd come up and beat people to death. I started watching it, and actually got into it not too long before the end. Pretty good show, with lots of character interaction and surprisingly realistic violence.

Messed up yet interesting.

FLCL is messed up yet interesting for completely different reasons.

If you're in to anime it's worth taking a look at G4TV or whatever they're calling themselves now days later in the evening during their Anime Unleased block.

I think they are still showing Patlabor.

Exile is another one I've seen them rerun a couple times. Great animation on that one.

Patlabor is currently showing on AZN TV "TV for Asian Americans" it used to be the International channel.

There are four DVDs out for Galaxy Rangers, that's 16 episodes, but the series was 64 episodes.

X-Men: Evolution stopped at two seasons on DVD and I haven't heard if and when the other seasons will be coming out.

But good news, Justice League is coming out in a Season 1 boxed set next year!

G4 was showing something called "Rahxephion" (or something like that). It was a giant robot anime, so I never watched it. They just wrapped up that one and started showing "Colorful". I have no idea if they played the complete robot series or if they switched to another anime will come back to it later.

I watched Colorful and it was weird. The episodes (they showed two) are comprised of mostly unrelated skits. All of them are about perverts of some kind, mostly panty obsessed. It's sort of "throw everything at you" comedy.

Of the past G4 shows, I liked Gad Guard and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.

As to AS, it's a mixed bag. I like Ghost In The Shell, Inuyasha, Harvey Birdman, and Venture Bros. Boondocks was good, but not something I plan to watch each week. Robot Chicken is a mixed bag, a few good skits, but mostly crap.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force used to be good, but I gave up on that when I felt it went downhill. Squidbillies is horrible. And hopefully they cancelled Tom Goes To The Mayor. That show was not just unfunny, but anti-funny.

RahXephon was indeed finished. So far I've missed Last Exile every single time, and I'm waiting for that to reaire.

I want to state that The Boondocks is genius.

Venture Bros.

I'm just waiting for the return of Venture Bros.. That is a clever, clever show.

(In case you're not aware, you can read Jackson Publick's Publick Nuisance blog for production updates.)

I don't know if it was a part of adult swim, but did anyone catch a show called Welcome to Eltingville? I believe it was on saturday/sunday at 1:30 or 2am. The show is about four typical nerdy/geeky guys whoo are into rpgs, comics, etc. It opened with one of their game sessions. It was funny, but it being so late I don't remember much of it. Rest was about how two of them fought over a Boba Fett figure in a comicshop witha trivia-off.

I never caught that, unfortunately. It's by Evan Dorkin, creator of the super-awesome and sporadically published Milk & Cheese, and the equally sporadic Dork! Those are some damn good comics, rest assured. The trivia-off was a story in [Dork!] that was quite funny - I'm vexed that I missed the cartoon version of it.

Why can't they all be as good as Full Metal Alchemist?

I knew exactly who Pride was and they still shock the heck out of me at the end of the episode.
