JCBaggee Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 [color=red]Hola! I was over posting on another board and noticed this. What follows is excerpts from an AOL-Time Warner Press Release...[/color] [i][size=2]Cartoon Network today announced the acquisition of three animé series that will air during Adult Swim, its highly-rated late night block of animation for adults 18-34. The three series are Lupin the Third, Reign and Trigun. Lupin the Third follows the adventures of the greatest thief in the world. Lupin is a globetrotting crook, as well as a suave gentleman. Aided by two partners, expert marksman Jigen and samurai master Goemon, Lupin's mad-capped adventures take him around the world stealing extraordinary treasures, helping damsels in distress, staying one step ahead of Inspector Zenigata and matching wits with rival thief, beautiful and dangerous Fujiko. Trigun takes place in the distant future on a deserted planet. Vash the Stampede is a gunfighter with a legend so ruthless he has a $60,000,000,000 bounty on his head. Entire towns evacuate at the rumor of his arrival. But the real Vash the Stampede, the enigmatic and conflicted lead character in Trigun, is more heroic, even though he usually acts like a complete idiot. Alexander the Great was the world's most powerful warrior. Reign is a 21st century science-fiction retelling of the legend of this Macedonian king. A visual masterpiece, Reign tells the story of Alexander's's triumphs through engaging characters, intricate plots and glorious battle sequences. Lupin the Third will air Monday-Thursday at 12 midnight (ET, PT), beginning Monday, January 13. Programming information for both Reign and Trigun will be announced at a later date.[/i][/size] [color=red]Whoo hoo! If this goes through, I'll finally get to see Trigun! Could anyone tell me anything about the other two series? --J.C.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syk3 Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Wow! I cannot believe that Cartoon Network has finally decided to show Trigun!! It's an absolutely amazing series, one that I would expect to have come to Adult Swim a lot sooner, heh. Lupin III is also supposed to be a great series, and so is Alexander the Great. I see that Cartoon Network is breaking apart from it's "Dragonball Z -only" phase more and more. My respect for Cartoon Network grows with this as well. :) On a side note, there have been a number of Cartoon Network-related topics lately. I'll talk with Rick and we'll see what we can do.

Kent Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Sweet, this all sounds great to me. This is what alot of us have been waiting for and I would say just about any wait is worth it if we can get new stuff. I personally want to see the "reign" show. I dont know anything about it really besides the history of the real alexander. It should be interesting to see how they depict the history of alexander the great. (now thats a name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
