Seriously?
I"ve learned to stay away from anything involving those guys and Bob Odenkirk.
I prefer Crap Pipe. Much more straightforward and accurate, as it literally refers to
FIG 1A: A PIPE
a pipe which
FIG 1B: CRAP
spews this.

While we're at it, can someone put a hit out on Andy Milonakis as well?
Maybe it's fat in an eric suit.
fuck that guy too.
lol, such jealousy.
I was lurking at 4 chan last night & came across a post by someone who claimed to be from CN. There was debate wether this guy is legit or not(probably not) but if its true & CN decides to give up the rights to Code Geass R2 I hope Sci-Fi will pick it up!
Hello again 4chan. I am the guy from CN who was here last week talking about gathering info from fans about the AS schedule. I’ve come back today to talk about the sudden schedule change for Code Geass and Guardian of the Spirit.
1st of all I want to apologize to all of you about the change and to let you know this took a lot of us who work for AS by surprise as well last Wednesday. After discussing it we came to find out that this schedule change came directly from the president of CN himself.
It boils down to a combination of low ratings and complaints. 1st off the president told us that CN had been receiving complaints from parents and AS fans for a while about Shin-chan and Code Geass. Shin-chan because of all its foul language and sexual harassments coming from a Kindergartner, and Code Geass for its occasional full frontal nudity (even though we do censor it). Because of these reasons, parents were preventing their children from watching them and fans were turning the channel; causing them both to lose ratings. Shin-chan took the hardest hit. After the 1st couple of weeks after it premiered the ratings for it just kept dropping until it was barely getting over 100,000 viewers.
The decision finally came last Wednesday to cut Shin-chan, Code Geass, and Guardian of the Spirit from AS and replace them with other shows. Since no one here at AS liked Shin-chan all that much it was immediately cut and replaced with FMA. But we did manage to save Code Geass and GotS for a little while but both were shoved to the “Death” time slot of 5:00 and 5:30 am. CN has cut their agreement with Bandai to show Code Geass R1 and R2. They will show the rest of Code Geass R1 at least before it gets cut. Same with GotS.
I know it’s a sad day for you all and us because we really did like Code Geass. Again I apologize to everyone here on behalf of the AS employees who wanted to keep Code Geass going.

Yeah, it's a total fake from top to bottom.
Don't be fooled.
Don't be fooled.
I've also gotta' call BS on that. Especially when the source comes from the refuse pile known as 4Chan.
I felt Blue Gender and Witch Hunter Robin were some of best stuff they aired because, on a block that's supposed to target Adults, those two were some of first AS aired that were actually created and targeted twards adults and thus were more in the spirit of things if you think about it. They're moody and complex and in Blue Gender's case downright dark and depressing and filled with sex, violence and strong language (but of course most of that was cut out for the TV airing. The uncensored version is ten times better, same with Outlaw Star.) As series both would be in my top 30 somewhere, although there is stuff I've liked better.

Maybe but it had a great character development for the two characters who actually mattered. You start out with two unlikable people each detestable in their own way, one's a whiny wimp the other a frosty ice queen, but by the halfway point they're two completely different people. Not to mention the show had a good romance.
Wait a minute. So parents were complaining about what their kids were watching on Saturday night Adult Swim? Were these 90 year old women complaining about what their 40 year old son was watching?
The story isn't real. It's just one of who knows how many "statements" on the 'net from people who claim to work for either Cartoon Network or Adult Swim.
In addition to giant content rating signs every time a show begins or comes out of commercial break, Adult Swim puts up a disclaimer every hour on the hour that the subject matter is not suitable for younger audiences.
I think most parents get why it's called Adult Swim--those that don't have bigger problems than what's being shown on TV, IMO...

Yeah well I didn't think it was real, I doubt someone from CN would even know what 4 Chan is.
I do wish they'd for once give some kind of honest official statement about the decisions they've made regarding anime though.
