Adult Swim to finally remove Anime?

Children's Hospital

I've watch that a few times, and indeed my reaction is "WTF?! Is this shit suppose to be funny?". More of the same "haha see guys, wacky and zanny comedy!"

[Randolf]

That program is entirely dependent on the joke inherent in the contradictory title -- I.E., HAHA It's called Children's Hospital but nothing that happens on it is suitable for children! We are teh kewl! And teh funneh! Teh very funneh!"

Actually, I imagined the conversation at AS on the subject was not even that articulate.

^that sounds like the dumbest, craziest, most un-adult thing I've heard of. A tv show called Childrens hospital?
Seriously. I never seen it, but the sound of the title make me think some retard is punching babies with cancer.
Am I even close to right?

AS didn't produce that, it was originally a web series. They bought the rights and funded a second season

It's a parody of grey's anatomy/general hospital/etc..it's not bad, in terms of genre parody it's definately not darkplace but its alright

The best part of it though is this fake commercial they ran satirizing all those cop/spy shows (I think it was called "NTFS: SF: SUV" or some similar string of bizarre acronyms). It was literally...what, 10 seconds or so, and it was great. I'd actually rather that be the show.

I sometimes wish Seth McFarlane would evaporate off the face of the earth.

Every time they air the viewing numbers, and two family guy reruns consistently top them, I swear I die inside a little bit.

Particularly since they're now the only game in town that syndicates king of the hill, so during that I then get to be reminded "Oh, right, people with godawful taste outnumber me heavily."

The Ani-Monday block is owned by Manga Entertainment, hence the reason they aired Ghost in The Shell: Solid State Society instead of [as].

Right, I couldn't remember the company...boy was that a disappointment. When it premiered with GITS: SSC I remember thinking "Oh, nice, they're gonna be showing the good stuff". The week after I found myself asking "..What the hell is 'tokken'?"

Are they still even doing it?

I have a similar opinion of the makers of almost every other program Adult Swim has produced.

Matt Maillero is a visionary and the network/viewers just didn't understand 12 oz mouse. Also the guys behind sealab2021 are pretty good, the show they have on FX now is great.

Close. If you ever see the commercial for it, you'll see what I mean.

"Let's show 'em what Childrens Hospital is all about!"
*30 seconds of virtually uninterrupted macking, involving lesbians, old people, and guys in clown makeup and/or gorilla suits*

The Hulu Ad Tailor keeps making me watch it. Over. And over. And over again.

This man is clinically insane. Do not listen to his lies. Pelt him with empty gin bottles and candy wrappers.



EDIT: I was watching Trinity Blood on Hulu and the Ad Tailor offered me a choice between watching the full-length Childrens Hospital ad with no others ads during my show, or watching normal commercials. I chose the first option.

It was disgusting.

I'm watching fucking Trinity Blood for God's sake. I have to be registered member of Hulu just to see the damn thing at all. And nothing on that show gets to me. Nothing. And Childrens Hospital made me sick to my stomach-- just on the grounds that there is nothing to make any of this demented and horrifying stuff funny in any context. It's like they're not even trying!

"Hey, let's show a bunch of people being vivisected or having sex, while children die painfully and we mock everything about ourselves we consider human! HILARIOUS!"

May God strike Adult Swim dead.

...and yes, I am very pissed off. I was so grossed out I couldn't even enjoy watching vampires rip each others organs out and eat them. Stupid trailer.

...PLBBHTTHHH!!

Ani-Monday still runs, but I've never really payed close attention to it. Looks like they're airing Requiem From the Darkness and one of the Gundams, probably OO.

[Sharpshooter005]

I remember hearing...like..wayyy back, a while ago, they might run ergo proxy.

Which isn't that great of a show, I saw it when they aired it on fuse..I remember it seemed to play around with the whole "post-apocalypse but how did said apocalypse happen" notion in a way that seemed like it might go somewhere...then it didn't seem to. I mean it resolved it but I remember I just found the resolution kind of dull, considering it had moments where it looked like it was going for something better.

[EyeOfPain]

I'm pretty sure Dai Sato never planned to fully explain how the apocalypse happened. I always figured it was just humanity's abuse of the environment went so far we had to retreat to those domed cities to allow the planet time to repair itself. Hence the proxies would make sure man stayed out of the world until it recovered.

But I didn't really understand the plot entirely, even when I first watched the ending.

I'll be the first one to admit, I never really watched King of the Hill when is was on Fox, but It's really a great show and I'm glad that AS does show reruns of it. The Family Guy rerun numbers are indeed depressing.

The closest they seemed to get to explaining it, as I recall, was an episode where the characters got stuck in some game show type thing.

And even then it was just cybernetic Chuck Barris making some oblique reference about satellites.

Better than big o, cause it just got bizarre at the end (Oh wait big o was supposed to have a 3rd season...that no explanation has ever been even hinted at. Sure)
