Save The Big O!

I finally started watching Adult Swim last night (my TV finally got fixed so CN returned to my air waves)

Why do they show Sealab 2021 so much? It's such a messed up show. I mean, it's not bad... but it's not.... good.

I've pretty much stopped watching Adult Swim ever since TechTV and G4 combined. Now I watch Anime Unleashed at 12:00am-1:00am and flip back to Adult Swim for repeats.
That's fine by me if Cartoon Network wants to alienate all the views that it built up by showing anime. They've already alienated me.
They're probably in cahoots with the Moonanites.

First off to the original article being presented here.

Adult swim is full of morons for abandoning Big-O and anime itself, 'nuff said.

Also why did you wait until TechTV and G4 combined to watch Anime Unleashed, its been there for years.

If any of you have been there since Adult Swim started, then you all know that the only reason they became popular IS BECAUSE OF THEIR ANIME... And now they're selling out to an almost all comedy schedule. Hey, don't get me wrong, I love comedy, but I started watching Adult Swim for the anime. Good things just aren't meant to last I guess.

And what the hell ever happened to Saturday Anime on the Sci-Fi channel. A few of you might be too young to remember that but they showed some BADASS movies. They are the reason I got into anime then BAM!!... It's gone, oh god why, why me, why does it have to be me I don't deserve this... Oh, I'm sorry, was I raving?

Same thing with me. AS got me into anime.
I'm not sure if what mistress-samwise posted was true, but if AS does kill it's anime line up then they are going to lose a lot of money (not to mention unleashing the rath of Inu fans). I would be incredibly stupid on their part.
Some (not all) of their comedy shows I find funny. But as an otaku, I don't stay up late nights to watch the comedy line up (I make posts here instead).
Maybe some time in the future AS will get rid of their anime line up (but it isn't going to be soon, this is just Big O we're talking about). We have Read or Die, Full Metal Alchemist, and Ghost in a Shell to look forward to

Don't even say that. Just thinking about it arises feelings I havent felt since high school bullies... well not quite as bad.

Dare I even ask where we would find anime on television after AS sells out.

Tech tv. Anime Network. But you have to have digital cable to get anime network.

Before I posted abot hailing Zeon. Buy this I was agreeing that we should band together and form a gathering. We need to organize something. I can easliy be a mindless zomie in the army of war. Anyway, I don't think BigO needs the 3rd season. I was against Adult Swim making the Second. There has to be a way that a band of unorganized people can organize something. Not every one has Digital, so we must keep the unfortunat (I am leat fortunate with my Irish residence) happy.
We must convert the masses!
Hail Lord Ilpalazo!

This was because TechTV wasn't part of the Comcast lineup for the package we get. We'd have to pay extra to get TechTV. G4 was part of the package, so when they combined I could actually watch TechTV stuff.

The same thing that happens to all good things on SciFi......alien abduction. Take Farscape for instance. Everybody loved it, but SciFi wasn't willing to pay the bill anymore and I guess no one else wanted it so it got axed. SciFi sucks and airs 24hrs of crap.
This is really off topic, but complaining never is.
