for one week, cartoon network is going to air evangelion, nadesico, robotech, amongst other giant robot anime as toonami's first "giant robot week."

as much as I hate ADV dubs (except for goldenboy), it'll be good to see eva on tv for the first time. I remember three or so years ago when there were rumors about MTV airing eva. personally they I think if they should run any of the mentioned titles on a regular basis, they could get away with it uncut during midnight run. I bet more than anything, this is a test run for ADV to have their titles on television before they debut their anime network.

Sucks being deployed.

Bad enough I'm missing out on Adult Swim, now this. Oh well, I knew the responsibilities when I joined.

Eva? On Toonami?

At the ADV panel at NDK 2002, it was mentioned that ADV didn't want to let Eva show on the networks if it was going to be censored even slightly, due to the possibility of cutting important symbolism. So I wonder if it's going to be uncensored on Toonami, or if ADV had a change of mind?

So... IT'S "FLITZ TIME" EVERYBODY! | RANK: GOLD | NEXT STAGE IS 9 |

Nadesico rocks. The first "real robots" series that I really liked, not counting Macross Plus.

Cartoon Network is not the first network to show Eva. KTEH did that a while back. Don''t need to see that.

From what I have heard, Nadesico's dub is way pathetic. I'll give it one quick look, make some kind of iffy gooky (in Wakko's terms) and watch more Saikano or some other series. Give me Kuwashima Houko and the rest of the original crew anyday!

Robotech was eh. I'd rather hear Iijima Mari and the rest over the dub. Yeah, it's Macross and all, but I am not a fan of the dub.

This will be fine for my brothers, but not for me.

KTEH is a California-based network.

It's a PBS station too, and they've been in the anime airing business for awhile. Probably one of the first (non-hawaian) netoworks to show uncut anime on TV.

Just one question bothers me about this announcement. Isn't ADV one of the big forces behind the anime network? So why would they go and give a few of their big shows to their competition....(Unless they're working togther...).

Screw CN, they took Mobile Suit Gundam off the air (again), just when things were getting good and they were near the final newtype chapter.

They're not airing all of EVA or any of these shows. Just selected eps, it seems. Sort of like a cocaine pusher take on anime. The first hit is free.

EVA is almost as overrated as Bebop.
Nadesico has the worst ending ever.
Dai Guard I haven't seen, but the reviews on animeondvd.com make it sound pretty bad.

Still no reason to watch TV, especially when I just got the second DVD of Fruits Basket, which includes an interview with the man Daichi himself.
