But usually NOT Miyazaki movies. Usually they do it for some slice-of-life or other easily transferable genre of anime, and they're almost always incredibly low-budget.

Which makes me a bit leery about the upcoming Attack on Titan live-action adaptation. If they don't have the budget, it'll come out looking really…

I'd be ok with it existing if it wasn't so damn monolithic. I'd prefer there to be more Cowboy Bebops, FMAs, Miyazaki movies, FLCLs, Gurren Laganns and Kill la Kills than K-Ons though.

Because Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune are dead.

At least anime is beginning to turn around from the moefest that was rampant for the past few years with Attack on Titan and Kill la Kill being hits and Space Dandy premiering in a few weeks. Dunno if the same can be said for live-action.

Yeah they used to, but not anymore since they restarted Toonami on Adult Swim. There's still some (usually barely noticeable) edits, but nowhere near the extant of what it used to be.

Toonami played Akira over the weekend with the barest minimum of edits. They just edited over a brief nipple-shot (done so well I barely noticed it) and any instances of the word "fuck". Everything else was left in, all the violence and gore and other cursing, including "shit".

Things are getting better for anime on…

I remember watching it in the late 80s-early 90s here in America.

I hope there's a minigame where you get to slap Joffrey.

I actually really liked Nichijou. It was hilarious and stylized perfectly. Its a shame it didn't do so well in Japan, which made KyoAni go back to their safe zone.

I dunno, haven't been paying attention to it. One of my friends like it. I guess the fact that it was made as a cash-grab for the Twilight audience turned me away from it.

Yeah, if you watch more anime, you can tell who's got a budget and who doesn't. However, for me, that's not the most important part of an anime. Its whether its entertaining for me or not. KyoAni's got a huge budget and some of the most fluid beautiful animation out there, but they waste it on cute moeblob girls…

Yeah, having all the episodes be a similar quality would be nice, but, yeah, anime studios don't work like American studios. It is Trigger's first broadcast series, so they gotta work with what they got. They are capable of fluid, awesome animation when they have a budget, like with Little Witch Academia. Maybe their…

At least Comedy Central still plays funny shows. But yeah, I wonder how long it'll be until a la carte streaming, where niche programming can work well, becomes more popular than regular television. I give it at least 5-10 years.

I'm pretty sure the unit of measurement for over-the-top-ness is Gurren Laganns.

Well, Trigger right now only has about 20-30 employees, so the animation quality will obviously change from episode to episode, depending on how important that episode is. For example, the third episode had great quality, while the fourth episode was this side of Inferno Cop. Then it went back up for the fifth…

Do they even still play Jersey Shore? Thought that's been off the air for a couple years now. Haven't heard of any notable new show from that channel since then.

Figured most kids nowadays get their entertainment like everyone else, though streaming and YouTube.

I don't know anyone who has watched MTV recently. Seems like most people just tune in for the awards shows and then forgets the channel exists afterwards. Does the channel even have any sort of direction anymore? Last I checked, it was just nonstop reality shows about pregnant teenagers. Not sure how a fantasy show…

There'll be likely little-to-no editing. This is the new Adult Swim Toonami, not the PG-rated one of yore.

They played the Rebuild of Evangelion movies, complete with the tsunamis of blood.
