Kent Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Whats sves stand for... a channel of sorts I assume? Kenshin will come on soon, and I may edit afterwards. However, yesterday with sano left an intresting note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy_phenil Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 oh, seriously, they're cutting it to 1 a week?.. well i suppose stretch out the last 20 or so episodes, yeah, what's sves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Ok, my first gripe with the rk on cn is now coming out. Nothing as stupid or cheesy as the usual whining. This is the real deal... a legit complaint about the way cn did an obvious error in the edit. This last episode, something about the "rebirth of angi" had a moment where sano was down and about to pass out... Kenshin walked over to hear sano explain he would catch up, and as he did so, it showed sano's face. It had a small line of blood coming from his eye and the corner of his mouth. After about 2 seconds of it being there, it just dissappeared. I dont care about them taking it away, I just care about the fact they couldnt even do it right... If your gonna edit, atleast edit right. All or none cn, all or none. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it was so obvious that they should have just left it on his eye/mouth. Anyway though it wasnt even that bad i mean how horrible could it have been to keep it in there.

magic_raditz Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 ... it could have been horrible enough for some kid who is watching rurouni kenshin and then that kids mom comes in, sees the picture and slaps the kid over the head with a rolling bowling pin.

Panzer Dragoon Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by GoKents [/i] [B]Whats sves stand for... a channel of sorts I assume? [/B][/QUOTE]It stands for Saturday Video Entertainment System. Where I live it starts at 8:00 p.m on Cartoon Network. Its the block were .hack//sign, YYH, Samurai Jack and Pokemon/Yu-gi-oh air. RK will replace YYH on SVES at 10:30 I presume. See heres one of the scheduals for next week: July 12th: 07:00 Hot Wheels Highway 35 07:30 He-Man 08:00 Samurai Jack 08:30 Transformers: Armada 09:00 X-Men: Evolution 09:30 Rurouni Kenshin 10:00 Jackie Chan Adventures 10:30 G-Gundam 11:00 Pokemon 11:30 Samurai Jack 12:00 .hack//SIGN 12:30 G.I.

Kent Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Ok, thanks, I just always called that the saturday night adult swim. I gotta mention on that topic that I love the animated batman and superman episodes. (those are awesome) I also loved how those two used to be in the "rising sun" hour. It will be nice to see kenshin move to something and not just disappear like inuyasha did. once a week is better than nothing, I guess. I would still prefer to see the daily showings as usual.

Cyber E. Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Just so you all know, Kenshin moving to SVES is nothing more than a stunt to get the viewers from Toonami to SVES to get it ratings. Adult Swim is kicking major butt in the ratings while everything else seems to be falling behind. If you have the same crowds watching both blocks than you'd get good ratings. Therefore Kenshin will be back on Toonami in no time, possibly September. If this theory pans out (which, it will. :-P) this means that Kenshin will [I]not[/I] get less cuts. Because Williams Street isn't going to two sets of editing within such a close period of time. They will be at the same level. -Cyber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make them repeat Ruroni Kenshin over and over again (Like DBZ). That, after a while would get boring. But anyway, they should think about taking DBZ off of Toonami. All they're doing is wasting a half hour. Don't get me wrong, DBZ is a great show, but I think every one has seen each of the repeats al least 4 times. Toonami stands for Cartoon party in Jappanesse?

Cyber E. Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 There are still around 40-50 episodes that have yet to air, but they aren't that far with the editing. I am just saying September because now that DBZ (their biggest player) is out of commission they are going to have to do some major stuff to replace it. They are even airing four 1-minute parts and one 11-minute part for their Total Immersion Event. DBZ does need a long awaited rest, but starting this monday they are going back somewhere inbetween the Captain Ginyu/Freeza sagas (Again skipping the final episode) which hasn't been played for over a year. This is an odd move, especially given the odd episode placing. So something is up with that. Also, once FUNimation redubs all Saban episodes, they will air every episode, no interuptions on Toonami. Once they reach the end, it'll likely leave Cartoon Network [I]a while[/I]. -Cyber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only truly gotten into anime these past three years and only watched the international channel this past year. I've never see kenshin the whole time trough in Japanese or English. and I only have tv for this last week! :_( *sobs*. Stupid evilness! Why won't you set up the satellite dish?

eleanor Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 [size=1] I was going to buy the Samurai X DVDs since a lot of people said it was good, so I checked the bestbuy website. I searched for it, and it said the rating was NC-17! O_o;; Is it really that bad?[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW2 Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Its not....that bad.:therock: First off, if you've seen Rurouni Kenshin, you may be shocked by Samurai X. Theres just alot of graphic,bloody sword slinging action. If you don't like seeing swords being pulled through peoples faces, and ninja's getting cut in half, Samurai X may not be for you. Oh, and theres also a [spoiler]brutal slaughter[/spoiler] at the beginning. Don't get me wrong, its not all blood and guts, theres also [spoiler] a gripping drama/tragic love story [/spoiler]that takes place. Its very well written and animated, I'll go as far as saying that it's compelling. It would deffinately be a great addition to anyone's anime collection.

Dan Rugh Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Blood! You wouldn't imagine all the ways you can kill someone with a sword. For example: up through the bottom jaw and out the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 [size=1] I'm fine with the violence, I was kinda worried about sex and stuff. O_o; Thanks for clearing that up. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otakukev Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Yeah, it's pretty violent and bloody. I saw the first OVA and there's a lot of death. I didn't see any others so I don't know about [spoiler]Kenshin and Tomoe's relationship.[/spoiler] I agree with Dan Rugh, there are lots of ways to kill people with swords and also spears. And, to add to that, if someone has been stabbed and is not dead, their attacker is not satisfied to see them dying on the ground. No; they have to stab them again, preferably through the neck, and kill them for good. Plus, not only is there blood, but large amounts of it per person killed. If someone just gets stabbed through the chest, while the sword is still in them blood goes flying out every which way. I don't know if that's realistic or not; I've never killed anybody, lol. But what the hell, it's anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_o; Thanks for clearing that up. [/size] [/B][/QUOTE] There is a very short, sensual scene [spoiler]between Kenshin and Tomoe[/spoiler], but it doesn't really show anything. Plus, during the scene you hear [spoiler]Tomoe's thoughts on their relationship[/spoiler], no heavy breathing or nothing. So, basically its just hinted that they did the horizontal polka.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japan Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Yeah! I saw Samori X: Betrayal I was shocked becuase it seemed more realistic than RK. The sex stuff is no biggie, and boy is it bloody. Don't let younger siblings or your moms be around when you watch it. My mom thought it was too violent. (weird, she let me she "The Pianist." Weird o.O) Anyways, I like it a lot. It was hard to understand at first, but, the reason probably was that I picked an episode in the the middle of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW2 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Hahahahahaha! You gotta be kidding me!:laugh: Ok this has nothing to do with Samurai X, but the Rurouni Kenshin episode that aired last night on Cartoon Network. The episode was "The Wolf Destroys the Shinga", in which [spoiler]Saito faced off against Usui.[/spoiler] What makes me laugh was the ubsurd edit they did when [spoiler]Saito did his Zero Gattoutsu technique, in which his sword was supposed to pin Usui to the wall. But CN removed the sword entirely, and just had Usui stuck up on the wall, with no explanation on how he was pinned.[/spoiler] I thought this was funny as hell, but it also upset me. But hey, I guess I understand why it had to be edited. I just hoped they would've done a better job of it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Yeah, I was wondering how the hell he was stuck to the wall... on a side note, I got my times worth just by seeing that blind sucker get cold sweat from Saito :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otakukev Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Hmm...Usui on a stick...sounds good. That was a bad job of editing, but there wasn't really anything else they could do. At least there wasn't half a sword and little flecks of blood, lol. I couldn't see the sword, but I just figured that's what happened. The battle was too short, tho. It would have been better if they didn't do it one strike at at time. *strike*talk*strike*talk*strike*insult* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 I actually came back here because of seeing that episode. I was just happy to see cn continue with the kyoto stuff and not go back to reruns as they do all to often. However, I dont think I will get to see many of the coming eps... I've got what I like to call a job. A crappy one. So saturday night at about 8 or 9 Im always at work... summer jobs always suck like that.

thewanderer Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 hmm.. just happy the series continued where it left off.. although that fight was too short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinken Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Yeah, it was short. But at least they kept the continuity fresh. And they also got the new Intro song "Sobakusu", which is alright. Are there any episodes after the Kyoto arc? (Please, no spoilers. Just yes or no, and how long. Spoilers make me angry, and you won't like me when I'm angry. RAAAARGH!)

~*vixen*~ Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 rurouni kenshin! for me its one of the best anime ever created(together with cowboy bebop^_^) it has a very great storyline(though the manga is much more better thanm the series),the animation becomes better as the story evolves,and the character also evolves along with the story and it has such a great soundtrack! i love everything about rurouni kenshin! may it be the soundtrack,the manga,the series, OAVs and the movie! its the best!
