Yep. At least on Friday or Saturday nights, I think. And in English.
Oh well...At least they (Cartoon Network) introduced me to Paranoia Agent, so all is not lost.
I've got no problem with dubs unless I've already seen a series in subs. Then I get weirded out by the voice change.
Of course, it doesn't matter what language you speak when watching InuYasha, since about a quarter of the dialogue consists of "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" "Kagome!" "InuYasha!"

You hit the nail on the head! My girlfriend will not let me watch Inuyasha on AdultSwim because the momnet I turn it on she starts screaming "Kagome!" "InuYasha!" .....I think everyone knows the main character's names maybe they could get some new dialogue.

My girlfriend and I make a joke of it. Whenever we sit down to watch it (off NetFlix) one of us invariably calls out the appropriate name, and then we go back and forth with me yelling "Kagome" and her yelling "InuYasha" at each other. Sometimes we use our real names instead. :D

The more things change, the more they stay the same...
My buddies and I can still do the same thing, with one of us shouting "Tetsuo", followed by the other shouting "Kaneda", to no end.
(If no one gets this reference, I'm going right out and buying a walker and pulling my pants up to my chest, 'cause I'm old.)

One of these days, I am getting my own SOL.. oh yes.
ANYWHO.. I heard they picked up Korgoth to be a full show, but I have not heard a word since.

I still want Kaneda's bike, physics and the laws of gravity be damned. Or a giant robot. A giant robot would make me happy too.
More importantly: Giant Mutant Technology Baby. One of the few anime films that I actually like, not a small amount of which is due to Giant Mutant Technology Baby.

Ack! I should drop out of this discussion, as I haven't seen that movie yet (although it's #5 or so in my NetFlix queue).
So much anime... so little time...
Dude! You haven't seen Akira? Man...Get 'er done! (On a side note, my hubby saw Akira on the big screen - talk about mind-blowing!)

Akira was my first real taste of adult manga. I was rather shocked when I first saw it since I was used to more traditional western cartoon shows (though I had watched Astro Boy and other more kiddie manga). Of course, soon after that I watched Legend of the Overfiend (English dubbed version, I'm afraid). Talk about an eye-opener!!!!

I might have gotten in too late this morning to see that, but the first thing I heard walking into the office was “Tetttttsssuuuoooo” and Mike watching this on his computer... which pretty much let to the disbelief in this thread being enacted in real time.
On a semi-related note, Dr. Jacobs has gotten me ADDICTED to Venture Brothers. I mean seriously, to the point where I'm memorizing all of the Monarch's monologues.
Maybe not safe for work and what not, but SO Funny:

I have now completed Akira. You may now reset your universes' dials to "Normal." ;P
Hooray! *dials back*
Man, I thought I was gonna have to go all biomechanical on somebody. Probably the same somebody who failed to notify management that the computers crashed last night and left me a s&$&storm to deal with when I got to work...

Ut oh. Someone's in trouble. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of an angry Lilith... :\

Heh. Most don't. I've gotten a weird reputation at work for being the "troll in the closet" that only comes out when things go wrong. I made a pregnant lady cry once (in my defense, she was being really really dumb about something really really basic).
Fortunately, my boss often runs interference when things go down like they did. Of course, he's also the one with the nickname of "Ogre." :P

Heh, so you're saying your coworkers have to choose between the "troll in the closet" or the "ogre?" He he he... I'm guessing you two totally pwn those commoners. :D

Sadly, I don't think that angle would've worked on my wife. Fortunately, I managed to find something that did! (Just don't tell her that those bank notes are forgeries!)
