I want to give it a chance due to the fact that the creator of Cowboy Bebop crapped all over Netflix's horrible adaptation of his anime. Does Adult Swim have a good track record with anime? I used to watch a lot in the early 2000s but not as much since then.
I’m sure some have their gripes, but even recently demon slayer and stack on titan came through them, plus all the anime that was breakthrough in the US was mostly them, DBZ, Trigun, bebop, inuyasha, yu yu hakusho, etc.
I was just curious. I notice a lot of anime are based on Manga. I'll give this show a chance though. Anime seems to have avoided a lot of the woke western poison. Well to someone who isn't as knowledgeable it seems that way.
They also kept ghost in a shell alive for a long time, brought samurai champloo to the us, same as Neon Genesis Evangelion and a plethora of others. I’m not a fan boy by any means but they have really delivered some great shows that wouldn’t have seen US audiences especially back then.
Does Adult Swim have a good track record with anime?
Yes and No.
When its something they like, they will move heaven and earth to support it. They literally made new seasons of FLCL through sheer force of passion and love for the series. The quality was eh, but it was a high bar to clear and you can tell they at least loved the source.
On the flipside. They spent most of a decade shitting on anime fans and treating them like dirt, because Inuyasha made them too much money to cancel despite them hating it. Until Toonami came back they basically shit on anime as much as they could get away with, and only scaled back now because of how consistently its making them money.
So it really comes down to how petty and whiny they feel about it.
Given they're just funding a japanese studio, not creating their own thing, it could work.
The last time this happened the japanese didn't like Big O and Cartoon Network funded the second season. That's the one with lawyer batman and the giant punch mecha.

Is Lazarus based on a Manga? Also, Adult Swim was where I first saw Trigun. Great anime.
Not that I’m aware of but Bebop wasn’t either

they cancelled the big o season 3 so they could make squidbillies.

Ah, yes. Big O. The series with easily one of the most inscrutable and fucked-up ending for an anime series.
God, I want to rewatch it all of a sudden. I've seen some old theories taking apart the symbolism in that show and holy shit, it went deep...
I did like Batman Kaiju.
What? Big O predates that shit by like a decade, at least.
bro you're going to feel old when i tell you big o season 2 ended in 2003 and squidbillies started in 2005
That piece of shit has been around since 2005? Seriously I never noticed it in the years between, though to be fair I don't watch a lot of television.
They were the reason season 2 got made at all
