Rave Master to Weeknights Mid-January

[William C. Maune]

Rave Master will take over for Static Shock at 10:30pm.

I guess it must have been doing better in the ratings than we assumed.

 

[JohnCrichton]

I certainly won't be missing it. That show was my biggest Toonami Disappointment of 2004.

 

[NickWhiz1]

It must have been doing good in ratings, because as I recall, Static Shock has some really good ratings for both its 6:00 Miguzi spot and its 10:30 primetime slot.

Wait.. they're airing an anime at 10:30 right before adult swim??

Um, two thoughts...
1) Why Rave Master? It's not a good lead-in for the block. It'll be on Miguzi and it's only 26 episodes..

2) Is this the start of something? Are they trying to have another, smaller block before AS? If so, this is probably the worse show to pick as a trial run..

 

[JohnCrichton]

Miguzi stuff... to lead into Adult Swim instead of Toonami stuff like a showing of YYH and Gundam SEED.

Ugh...

 

[KnightusMaximus]

I don't think its the start of anything.

They're replacing one Miguzi show at 10:30PM with another one.. Miguzi shows have always aired before [adult swim].

 

[James Bester]

Which I dont see as a good idea. Out of all the anime they can choose from they pick rave master? How about Justice League?

BTW, are there any changes in the regular cn schedule? Besides the Rave Master move?

 

[Ryoutarou]

Seems like a good move, but to lead in to AS?

Still no way in hell I'm gonna watch it

 

[Sketch]

Well at least it's on weekdays. But 10:30PM? Come on... That's just stupid. Dragonball GT could easily do better. Shoot YYH could easily do better.

It should be on weekday Miguzi (as should D.I.C.E.)

 

[Rabi~en~Rose]

I will miss Static at night it fit him so well and actually got me to watch the first hour of AS again Rave Master will have the opposite effect

 

[William C. Maune]

It should be on weekday Miguzi (as should D.I.C.E.)

Except that we haven't seen D.I.C.E. In a month we'll be able to make a much better call regarding where it should go.

 

[G1Ravage]

So what will take Rave Master's place on Toonami?

BRING BACK SEED!!!

Does [adut swim] really need lead-ins?

Answer: No.

I mean, sure, back in the day, Toonami had lead-ins like Thundercats and Captain Planet. But, those are suited for children, and as I recall, CN is a children's network.

You sure about that? So you are saying that all the adult swim viewers turn on their TVs right when the clock hits 11:00 pm? That seems odd, I would think that they would change the channel and leave it on CN 15 minutes prior to the first adult swim show.

Soo... if you have something like, for example, Hamtaro playing right before adult swim. IMO, I would be too embarrassed having the TV set blaring that stuff while waiting for Futurama to air.

On other channels, I did try to avoid watching the programming that I didn't like prior to a show I really wanted to watch... But most of the time either I tune in a little late or just completely forgot to change the channel. Yup, I could just use a VCR or DVR, but sometimes I just want to watch the show and not bother worrying about tapes or hard drive space.

Yes, but kids eventually become Adults. even though 14-17 year old ratings aren't important to Adult Swim now, those 14-17 year olds will become 18-34 year olds in a few years.

 

[Sketch]

Well hopefully pre-AS will become Megas and JLU sometime next year.

 

[TheGLIVEN]

That sucks. Now I will never see it, because I am a Simpsons fanactic. What's it gonna be replaced by?

 

[Sketch]

D.I.C.E.

It's a new show that looks like a combination of Power Rangers and Zoids. Bandai is bringing it out. I really don't like the character designs but I hope it will be better than I think it will be.
