Dubbed, probably. Bah.
Of course dubbed, but when you're watching it free on TV you don't have the right to complain, specially since Cartoon Network runs the most random commericals and unless you buy Blo-Pens and Hair-agamis you're a common theif to be watching their shows!
but anyway, it is nice to know Cartoon Network is taking both Adult Swims (meaning the Saturday Anime block and Sunday William Street/WB rejects block) seriously and is trying to get the best programming.
However, now it's going to be free and on TV, GitS is accessable to the DBZ lot and will be ruined by them.
I know what kind of DBZ fans you are talking about, so I won't take it as an insult, since I am a DBZ fan too. :) You all know that I am far better than simply DBZ (I like so many other series better, like Rurouni Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop, Slayers, Record of Lodoss War, etc. etc.). Remember though, some fans of DBZ aren't one- dimensional "anime" fans. I can't wait for the new lineup.

wtf is this "free" business? Did you forget that cable TV costs money or something? I don't subscribe to any TV services, so I don't really need to complain anyway, but it doesn't seem that anyone who actually does is doing it...
Sorry Baghead, for that little comment you are going on The List.

Yes, you should be honored. Never forget that you are paying extra to be able to view channels like that. Whether or not the money is going to them is irrelevant. They are not providing a public servce, they are a business, and you show businesses how you feel not by complaining, but by not buying, or in this case, by not paying the entrance fee and watching their advertisements. There are far too many people out there that think like you do though, which is why something as relatively minor a subbed vs. dubbed on anime will never change.
Actually when I said you were watching it for free I meant you didn't go out and buy the Ghost in the Shell TV series on DVD or what-have-you. So if Cartoon Network chooses to show it on TV dubbed when you could very well go out and buy it and watch it however you want you can't complain because you've choosen the cheap method to view the series. I went out and bought the entire series of Cowboy Bebop after CN decided to cut out episdes, it was easier and more fun then complaining to the Network.
I'm rather confused by that line that people like me are why we'll never get subbed anime on TV...
We won't get subbed anime on regular cable TV because the majority of the American public prefer to understand the spoken word and don't want to read it. I prefer dubs myself, though some I have to watch subbed (like Sailor Moon)

You misunderstanmd the reason for TV anime on the Cartoon Network. it's not there for fans to watch (though that is a fringe benfit). They'll more often than not go out and get the DVD version...
No, the real reason for the blitz on the CN for Bandai and other companies is free advertising of their product to a wider audience. By getting the product on cable TV channel with the clerance of CN they're showing their product to such a wider audience and also increasing customer base. And dubs are generally a much easier sell to a new audience than subs...
So as long as the unedited sub is out there on DVD (Unless the Japanese company forbids it, a la Gundam season 1) I'm not going to complain about the fact CN airs edited dubs. It's good for fandom, and if they slowly turn into sub fans than all the bette. And if they don't, no biggie. I can watch subs all day and be happy...
