I won't say anything else on the subject of Home Movies.
So about Adult Swim
-
-
Well please tell me the appeal
What could it be?
-
I guess it's just an acquired taste.
I dunno… -
@Tommy:
I guess it's just an acquired taste.
Liiiiike… smoking?
Nah, I'm just kidding... I'm sure it's probably better than Squid Billies
Which is a good thing
-
@Mr.:
Home Movies and G Gundam have both been called bad in this thread.
Someone call the taste police.
Seeing people other than myself call out G Gundam was a bit of a surprise.
-
What's bad about G Gundam?
It's the only Gundam series that didn't have me bored out of my skull…
-
That question actually made me go and do some research on the series but I think I can answer you question.
From Wikipedia
Rather than having a war between the colonies and the Earth, a fighting tournament is held. Called the Gundam Fight, it is held once every four years by the United Colonies Federation. Each country would send its own representative, that would pilot a Gundam, and the Gundams would then fight on the Earth until only one is left, and that Gundam's nation will then be able to obtain sovereign rights over all the nations, until another nation wins in the next Gundam Fight.
Though I can't say for sure that this is was what turned me off.
-
Yeah, That makes sense…
I like G Gundam because it wasn't like Gundam, yet for that very same reason, Gundam fans didn't like it...
-
I liked G Gundam because it was actually good. Well it sucks but compared to other Gundams I thought it was decent.
-
All of the Gundams bored me. Except for SD Gundam.
At least it was interesting, with funny characters, cool fight scenes, and awesome BGM
Even if you all have trouble accepting it because of the Cell Shaded look…
-
While I honestly didn't like G it probably wasn't as bad as 0080
-
G Gundam is a lot better than Gundam Seed: Destiny or whatever that crap was called.
I'll say that much.
EDIT: lol, this discussion makes me wanna make a new gundam avatar. XD
-
What about that "Shining Finger" Gundam?
That looked alright.
-
You mean G GUNDAM
Because that's "'Shining Finger' Gundam"
-
Death Note is the only real reason I tune in on saturdays now. Unfortunately, they're putting it in an even later spot.
I honestly like ATHF, but not Squidbillies.
I really think Home Movies was the most underrated show AS ever had. Some people just don't get subtle humor.
-
@Mr.:

Seriously. I could barely watch it already without waking up the parents already. Now it'll be impossible for me.
@Mr.:

Meh, ATHF is tolerable.
Squidbillies is just garbage.@Mr.:

Let's be friends.
-
Hold it?
Were people dissing Aqua Teen fucking Hunger Force too? ATHF is pretty fantastic.
-

The internet is your friend.

Well its not like it just started happening recently.
-
@Sandai:

Right.
Right.
The internet.
I completely forgot about that. -
Anime is over on AS now?
I just heard it on tv -

I looooved SD. Best of the series. I just wish it had not had that Cel Shaded look.
-

Heck yes, you're awesome
Finally another fan at AP. Cobra-Maru, Bakunetsumaru, Zapper Zaku… yeuh :3
Good stuff
-
Anime is over on AS now?
I just heard it on tvYep.
And they seem really happy of that fact. They've already aired a commercial for "Saturday Not Sucking". For me, it means it will start sucking. -
It's not over. Death Note is still coming on at like… 2:00 am
Only a few years ago Saturdays were... Teen Titans, Megas, Yu Yu, GT, JL Unlimited, Kenshin, Venture, Boondocks, Champloo, FMA, Inu, FLCL.
Now that was a good line up.
-
@Mr.:
Hold it?

We's all need ta join together and… thank God that… it's on Extra Low.
since futurama left, i really lost my reason to watch that channel. can't wait for venture bros to come back.
-
-
Adult Swim is okay nowadays. It will be even better when Venture Bros. season 3 comes out! I sure wish 12 oz. mouse and Squidbillies would be cancelled.
-
If I recall correctly 12 oz mouse isn't coming out with any more new episodes it's just that they refuse to do to it what they did to Sealab & Home Movies.
-
I just can't stand the way most of the Adult Swim shows are animated. It's just so… Bad. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is one of those "Has-It's-Moments" kind of shows. Half the time I can't even sit through a whole episode... Only other originals from Adult Swim that seemed worth watching besides the Boondocks were Venture Bros and Sealab 2021.
EDIT: Forgot Birdman and Frisky Dingo (despite the stupid animation).
-
@Tommy:
Yep.
And they seem really happy of that fact. They've already aired a commercial for "Saturday Not Sucking". For me, it means it will start sucking.great….:getlost:
noone watches Venture Bros, Birdman or Dingo anymoreWhy is it so hard for any anime now to air on TV?
-
great….:getlost:

well…I still watch Venture Bros., but I got the whole series on DVD now, so...
I was gonna go back and add that but I forgot. -
Well I for one still watch Venture Bros though not as much considering these episodes airing are reruns.
-
I find it really ironic that AS is dissing anime, when the whole reason AS was even created was BECAUSE of anime.
-
I thought it was originally created for adultish cartoons, like Space Ghost.
-
Space Ghost Coast To Coast existed long before AS came into the picture.
-
….And they hardly even play that show anymore.
-
Is that bad thing I mean SGCTC was okay back in the day but tne novelty of the show wore off after awhile.
-
I thought it was originally created for adultish cartoons, like Space Ghost.
No, it was created as a place to show the anime that was too violent for Toonami.
-
Then they realized that no one gives a shit about watching anime.
It's pretty nice of them to keep showing anime given how crappy the ratings are.
-

As if they have anything better to show.
-

They're was one time early on they showed Vampire Hunter D and some other slightly violent movie about roaches, also they showed Gundam Wing & DragonBall Z uncut so I don't really think AS (the anime half) was created with the sole purpose of showing Anime uncut(slightly).
-
AS is now for "more mature" anime, but that wasn't why it was originally there. I mean, Toonami's YYH was a pretty un-edited dub.
And I'm just not watching AS until VB and Metalocalypse comes back, which should be like March.
-
I watch Venture Bros. and Birdman, all the time.
-
Venture Bros doesn't come back til June and I wouldn't say that the YYH dub wasn't edited much because it was (Roto's death for example)
-
As if they have anything better to show.
Pretty sure they could just show there regular comedy line-up and get better ratings.
I don't know what I'd for for my weekly Blood+ fix though.
-
I love Venture Bros and Frisky Dingo.
-
@Sandai:
Space Ghost Coast To Coast existed long before AS came into the picture.
I know that. But I recall reading Turner wanted a block to air their more mature shows LIKE Space Ghost and Home Movies (which I believe was one of AS's premieres).
I'm not saying part of AS's creation wasn't brought on by anime, but don't think anime was THEE reason for its creation, cause it wasn't.
-
My favorite AS shows are the following:
The Brak Show
Sealab 2021
Space Ghost: Coast to Coast
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Venture Bros.
Metalocolypse
Harvy Birdman
Tom Goes to the Mayor
The Tim and Eric Awesome Show
Home Movies
Mission Hill -
Finally…
-6tRpxFEo4E
And the only current Adult Swim comedy that doesn't suck (IMO) is Family Guy, Venture Brothers, Boondocks, Frisky Dingo, and Birdman.
Aqua Teen is pretty good as well, I suppose. Even if I don't actually watch it anymore. And Futurama was taken off the air, so I can't count that.Robot Chicken's not even good anymore. It's like they sold their soul to suck

Aqua Teen just doesn't entertain me at all. I watched if for like a minute before I wondered where it becomes funny, and I left. Family Guy's good, except it and American Dad aren't originally AS shows, so they can't get the current seasons episodes or anything. And they already fucking got rid of Futurama, which was one of the only things I watched regularly on there.
