well, they decided to take it off cause they r stupid evil people! but now trigun is back on. oh yeah, they also took of kenshin and replaced it with cyborg 009.dont we just love cartoon network...?

-- Anonymous, July 06, 2003

cuz not all of the Inuyasha eps are dubbed yet. CN got most if not all the dubbed eps available, which is about a little less than half the eps in Japan.

you know i don't mind subtitles. their not all bad. I can't wait any longer!!!! *crying*

They did not take off Kenshin. They took off Yu Yu Hakusho, which is fine because they don't have the end of the dark tournament ready yet anyways. Kenshin is still on at 6:30 Eastern time. I actually enjoy Cyborg 009...it is funny and action-packed and since I'm not going to watch the episodes of YYH that I have already seen I am glad it is on in its place.

I'm responding to the "also" someone put up on Kenshin being replaced by Cyborg 009. Like another said that's wrong; Cyborg 009 replaced Yu- Yu Hakasho, but starting July 7 Yu-Yu Hakasho will replace Kenshin. So Cyborg 009 will be on at 6 p.m and Yu-Yu Hakasho will be on at 6:30 p.m (pacific time). I don't know why they cancelled out Inuyasha, but it really ticks me off! I've been waiting a long time for the new episode "The Man Who Feel In Love With Kagome" and it seems like it would be great. I hope they get new episodes soon! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I want INUYASHA back! And KENSHIN too!

actually Inuyasha is still on cartoon network...just on weekdays at 2:00 in the morning...this is true!

You know what... i was watching inu yasha on adult swim but when they started replaying old episodes... i just said "forget it." and just started downloading the episodes i missed. So far i think up too 114 (http://www.fangirlfriday.org/) <---You can get the recent ones on bittorrent. the rest, you'll have to find them like on kazaa or something.

someone hold me back!!! i'm about ready to go over to cartoon network headquarters and kill them all!!!!! they took off inu which i was pissed about but then they put on trigun and i was happy but OH HO! they put on yu yu again, great, good, fine and dandy, but they took off rk???? WTF?!??!?!! i'm getting sick and tired of those ppl now. i'm just going to stop watching tv altogether...well maybe not...

-- Anonymous, July 07, 2003

I have no idea why they took off Inuyasha and ruroni kenshin, but the irony is that they were both my favorite animes. Kenshin stopped after sano beet that monk, and inuyasha stopped after kagome was captured by the wolf demon. THIS IS WRONG, AND CARTOON NETWORK IS SICK!!!!!! it is the most vowl and disgusting sort of sin one can commit. I say, bring back kenshin and inuyasha, who's with me?!?!?!?!?!?

I dont know why the poop they took Inuyasha off the air. But it really peeves me and I and some other thirteen friends want to start a potition to get it back on the air! With Liberty and Inuyasha FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn that CARTOON NETWORK!

Cartooon Network needs to actually have a good block. Justice League? What kind of crap is that? Is it even anime? Rk does not for any reason need to be taken off. Inu yasha is good too but I'm so tired of seeing old eps that I had completely stopped watching it. Someone needs to get busy with this network. Does anyone remember when Toonami used to be cool>DBZ>Sailor Moon>Gundam Wing>Tenchi> What happened to the all anime block. Cartoon network sucks. And we want new inuyasha eps and Rurouni Kenshin, too.

-- Anonymous, July 08, 2003

Ok. cartoon network is seriously pissing me off! i mean, just a while ago there where great japanese animes, but the pricks think that it is more "meant for adluts", making me puke all over myself during the daily routine of brushing my teeth in the morning. What kind of crap do these people put on T.V??? what in the name of the good lord is 009 doing on the show??? and what the hell is justice league????? these shows have the same sentimental value to myself, as my very own dieria. all in all, they think that american animes can even compete with Japanese ones (a very wrong mistake). BRING BACK INUYASHA, AND BRING BACK KENSHIN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- Anonymous, July 08, 2003

ok Kinshin comes on sat. u know when they air all them shows on sat. and yes they need to get rid of the justice league. and just one more thing i don't know what the website was but it was a petition ( order from the people \ comunity ) to get an anime chanel if \ when they get enough maybe we'll have a chanel free of shit and full of anime!

as i say :Give me anime, or give me manga!

-- Anonymous, July 08, 2003



I haven't really watched any animes for fear that it would be taken off, just like Sailor Moon, but decided to give these Inuyasha and Kenshin a chance. But what do they do? You got it. And they aren't as shallow as everything else in this world so even though it sounds kind of stupid, it's like part of yourself was taken away with the anime. The worse part is that the network never gives you any warning prior to their departure, leaving you wonder what happened in this dark hole. We might as well just move to Japan where the animes are never taken off and no one ever has to live in sorrow. -_- WTF IS WRONG WIT THESE PPL ANYWAY! THEY TAKE OFF THE BEST SHOWS AND REPLACE THEM WIT THE WORSE ONES. WHOEVER IS WORKING UP AT THAT NETWORK HAS BEEN SUCKING TOO MANY CRACK BANANAS!

-- Anonymous, July 08, 2003

man, im sooooo pissed.... Inuyasha and Kenshin actually became part of me as i watched them. I loved them sooo much that i just ruined my whole families plan for a vacation just not to miss a Kenshin epi. Cartoon network can not take of these episodes without consulting us, because we are the ones watching them! P.S. WHAT IN THE FUCK IS CYBORG 009?!?!?! 009 is simply the green sludge caught under the city sewers. PUT BACK KENSHIN AND INUYASHA PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude! Cartoon Network should get their asses onto these websites and like actually look at them. They are probably hiding under desks over there and are afraid to come out because of a riot! I mean it killed me when i saw that RK was off...but then Inu Yasha! the only damn reason i watched all the re-runs was so I could see the rest of them! Its so dumb! they take them all off the damn tv! Just like SM! i mean seroiusly! if you aren't going to show the whole damn saga/show/wut ever, dont put the f*cker on!!!! wut the hell!!!U dont stop the show right in the middle then start it over or take it off! if they are going to put a show on they better dub the whole damn thing or theres going to be hell to pay next time! a kid i know even emailed toonami or w/e saying they should put this one anime back on, and u kno wut they said!?!?!? Don't write to this email anymore!!! WUT THE HELL IS THAT!!! And then they had the balls to make up some lame ass excuse about why they didnt continue SM! it was because guys turned into girls!!! who the hell cares! they say it isnt good for little kids! then put it on adult swim.....let me stress the adult!!! if little kids watch it then well screw them! it had fair warning! well i still say we should all email cartoon network and bitch em all out....dont kno whos with me but if ya are im all ears to this.....they have definitly gone too far with all this.

IKNOW,WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE AT CARTOON NETWORK, DONT THEY KNOW THAT EVERYONE ACTUALLY REALLY LIKED KENSHIN AND INUYASHA? THEY HAD NO REASON TO TAKE IT OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE! BUT NO, THEY HAVE TO PUT ON THIS CRAP CALLED "009". BUT SERIOSLY DO THEY REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO STOP WATCHING TOONAMI????

-- Anonymous, July 09, 2003

Actually, Kenshin is still on (according to new commercials at least...) they put him on saturday. I dunno what happened to InuYasha though. I wish they'd cut Big O & put it back on. Yeah well... If anyone gets anymore info. please post it. Thanks.

-- Anonymous, July 09, 2003

I like cyborg009, kakaider, and big O, however cutting kenshin and inuyasha was a very stupid idea. Now I have to go buy the boxed set of kenshin and wait for the stupid dvd's to come out for Inuyasha.

-- Anonymous, July 10, 2003

Well, you know they probably wont show Big O for long. There are only about 12 episodes of it. They'll be doing a lot of repeating if they keep it on very long. Besides I heard Inuyahsa is coming back some time in August. ^_^

To the person who asked if Justice League is an anime, well it's not and I'm pissed that they took Kenshin and Inu Yasha off! We should start a rebellion against cn and take over and show all the good shows again! As for Toonami, I think the line up should be like this: 4:00-Sailor Moon; 4:30-Tenchi; 5:00-Gundam Wing; 5:30-Dragon Ball Z; 6:00-Rurouni Kenshin; and then finally at 6:30 another episode of Kenshin cuz that show just rocks! For all the girls out there who like Kenshin(and yes I am a girl who love anime like that and Inu Yasha and loves to read manga!) Shock, shock ay boys!;) who thinks Kenshin's a hottie, especially when he's all Battousai mode and stuff that's when he really looks hot! If you all can, watch the Samurai X movie(not the OVA) man does he looked pissed and hot at the same time! Well see ya!!

-- Anonymous, July 11, 2003

amen to that stephanie! he's is soooo damn hott when he's the battousai!!! and btw, they're showing like the new season of the big o after the first one is over i think, which really sux becuz i watched one episode and nearly cried it was so bad.

-- Anonymous, July 11, 2003

Toonami and Adult Swim have gone crazy first they take off kenshin then inuyasha and they still are playing dbz which is really getting on my nerves. BIG O is cool kikaider can leave we've seen all the episodes JL should get off toonami and bring back kenshin lupin the 3rd should leave too that show is really old and dumb and bring back inuyasha with new episodes. Cyborg 009 at first it was good but now it starting to bore me yyh trigun inuyasha and kenshin are the best shows CN has ever had and so is zoids that was amazing.

-- Anonymous, July 11, 2003

These guys arent even changinganything, although there have been complaints for like two weeks. I sure as hell would like to take a gun and shoot who ever is in charge. I SAID IT 15 TIMES AND ILL SAY IT AGAIN: WHAT THE FUCK IS CYBORG 009?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

trigun, inuyasha and rurouni kenshin are THE best, and have no equal as far as im concerned......

P.S i saw samurai X and it was one of the best anime movies i saw (besides Akira), and i didnt watch the ova. It was violent and the story line was dramatic, just awsem ^_^

Hey guys....for that person up above, dont even bother writing anything back to her...its not worth your time. But as for the goth chick, I dont understand why you were on an anime site if you dont like it....it just dont make sense. Then again you did say you have no fashion sense and you cant spell for shit either so maybe you lost your brain along with your vocabulary skills. But anyway, like I said before, Inuyasha is coming back on in August, but I heard Rurouni Kenshin is on on Saturdays. I don't know what times though so if anyone could help us all out with that it would be appreciated.

everybody needs to calm down. we all know that CN has made some serious mistakes in the past and pesent, and they probably will in the future, but think about the good they've done. they've made anime well known, and brought it to us fresh and uncut from japan. for all the hatred you show them, you owe them plenty of gratitude. i know i do. without them, i wouldn't have learned about shows like G GUNDAM, YUYU HAKUSHO, RURONI KENSHIN, PILOT CANDIDATE, COWBOY BEBOP, INUYASHA, LUPIN 3, BIG O, and FLCL. and that's just the tip of the iceberg. i'm not saying you should absolutely love CN despite its constant lineup changes, but you shouldn't take it for granted. think about how much anime you'd have access to if CN completely shut down. it's quite a gap. when CN restarts a series, its because they have no other choice. dubbing takes time, and Toonami is also watched by younger kids who can't read well, so subtitles would make a gigantic dent in the ratings. if you can't wait for dubbed anime, buy the subtilted episodes ON DVD! either that or download them, or wait. i get as annoyed as you all do when my favorite anime gets restarted or cut off, but i know how to deal with it. if its a popular anime, i'd give them a month to put it back on before sending an angry email. if it's adult swim, don't be suprised. constantly check TV guide for changes, or the Houston section of the newspaper. that's all i'll say for now, think about it.

What in the seven hells is going on? I mean they were doing fine with the episodes of Inuyasha on at 12:00 why the frickin hell did they cancel it already? Damn CN.........The reason why I'm ticked off is because I went to CN.com and I looked at the schedule.......Yah Inuyasha's comin back on... Yippee wooohhooooo,(THE CATCH) They're starting over with the very first damned episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell is going on I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Frickin mad that I could just go up to CN and Frickin Cancel them......They need an Anime channel or something like that because Adult Swim is hurting Inuyasha bbbaaadddd!!! Seriously.....Well just to ask any way could anyone possibly know at all when they will be airing the new Inuyasha episodes? What episodes from 54 throgh ??? will they be airong? What date, month, and time(for East/Coast) will they be airing it in 2004? WHAT? I would really like some answers here.... so if you could be so kind and tell me and everyone else when in the hell is Inuyasha coming bvack to Adult Swim??? I and the other viewers would be most grateful I'm sure ...... Thanks Meg Inuyasha

P.S. Sorry for all the Bitchin I did, if I over did it I'm sorry
