I live in canada so I don't get CN but yeah that's just Season 2, when I watched Season 2 I was staring at the monitor with a confused (almost WTF?) expression on my face. By the end of the episode I understood what was happening.

You know there could be a chance that Adult Swim wasn't able to receive the episodes from Bandai on an account that the dubbing studio is still working on them.

In case you haven't noticed, adult swim loves to mess with us anime junkies. At around episode 17 or so of Code Geass R1, the fags decided to bump the show to 4:00AM and continue as if the audience hadn't changed. Did they really expect all of the loyal CG fans to stay up that late? Hell no, and I know I didn't. Then, after the first season ended, they started the second season IMMEDIATELY and moved it to even earlier than they originally aired the first season, and expected everyone to follow. I doubt most of the American fanbase knows what the hell happened to the plot with all the shit thats flying around.

Not to mention, adult swim has a history with us. They delayed the airing of a scheduled and advertised new season of Inuyasha with some show like Mr. T or something, and their April Fools jokes on us are infamous. Also, they started airing Seirei no Moribito, but never finished airing it. I think they realized that no one liked it and just up and decided to abandon it. That proves they lack commitment.

But at least they have good taste in British comedy. Tune in to The Mighty Boosh tonight at 11:00! :up:

So I'm thinking of watching this, and I need to get this straight. This is the first season, and R2 is the second? I'm assuming, but I'm not sure.

Yes R2 is second season. Now go watch it, it is Mega... no Giga.... no Terra-epic.

I agree wholeheartedly. Adult Swim gets their kicks at abusing and tormenting us with the shows. I think the only reason they are showing Code Geass is because there is a slight amount of nudity in it, and they love that low-brow humor. Hopefully, one day we will have an ALL anime channel...

Anime network is an all-anime channel (or it was, seems like it's on-demand programming now)

I think it would be an awesome idea to have an all anime/AMV channell with shows that VJ/DJ AMVs, kind of like TRL did but with the full videos and without the retarded screaming frenzy. More something along the lines G4 would do ala Attack of the Show.

You mean something like that? Ye, that WOULD be annoying... But it would still be better than what Adult Swim is doing. And by the way, I really hate what they do April Fools. Last night, they had some VERY dumb movie playing with VERY bad acting. Did anyone else see that?

You know what, I think the real reason Adult Swim started showing reruns of Code Geass is because they "ran out" of new episodes from Bandai. Going from this....

http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showthread.p ... ost1558240

...and the fact Japan is still releasing new Code Geass R2 DVDs according to this...

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... arch-24-30

...gives off the implication that Bandai could be waiting on more episodes from Japan especially since Japan can be pretty hardbent on being the first one to release the DVD episodes before anyone else.

heh..does it matter. Adult Swim and Cartoon Network have gone to hell with shos like these. Channel is pretty much crap now.

Besides, if you are a real fan, you are only watching it on TV to see how America has ruined the voice acting or because "you have downloaded and watched the entire show and you know that it will be horrible on tv but you are too lazy to change the channel". I'm normally stuck with that last one these days.

There are too many licensing issues these days to rely on Adult Swim. Plus Adult Swim likes to do their own thing. Since you are still gonna watch the repeats, they kinda win.

I watch it on TV because:

A)I don't speak Japanese
B)I want to watch a show, not read a show
C)I'm not going to waist bandwith and time downloading large files
D)I cannot stand digital pixilization that usually comes from crappy encodes, which coincides with...
E)It's completely uncomfortable sitting at a computer desk for that long of a time in a desk chair, that close to a PC moniter, staring at it continuously for that long of a time without doing other tasks. This may not be a problem for some other folks, because perhaps they have their computer set up as an entertainment center.

Anyone who thinks someone else isn't a fan of the show just because they don't download Japanese dubs/subbed episodes and watch them on their PC, is completely fanatical and a bit questionable. Kind of like those Star Trek/Star Wars nuts that go to parties dressed up in a Darth Vador or Princess Leia costume and carries a fake light sabor toy all the time while making posts from their parent's basement.

Just because somone hasn't seen the Japanese dub does not mean they are not a fan of the show. It's irrational to think so.
