Guest Levy Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I, for one, was not amused. And alot of people hated what happened too. They took off the Anime programming scheduled for after 12:00am EST, and replaced it with some stupid show called Perfect Hair Forever. Discuss and express your hatred and fury here! Edit: after doing a random search on Wikipedia, I found out that this 'April Fools' stunt was just to kickstart Perfect Hair Forever's 2nd season, as if anyone wanted this BS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_Hair_Forever Episode 7 aired midnight April 1, 2007 as part of Adult Swim's April Fool's Joke. This joke spanned the entire block, beginning with this episode and then airing all of season 1 in reverse order and in the style of old VHS fansubs, complete with Engrish subtitles. It replaced scheduled premieres of Bleach, Blood Plus, and Eureka 7. The ending theme was performed by Widespread Panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webpixie Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 lol well if you are an avid adult swim fan you should know better then to wait to record or watch anything near april first on adult swim. last year they edited in fart sounds and the year before that they drew mustaches on everyone lol they always do it on the second showing.. and perfect hair forever is weird yes but its not nearly as bad as some of their more resent shows... arg...

Guest Levy Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Adult Swim just likes p***ing me off. But I can say this, Adult Swim has better April fools jokes than Neopets ever did. HEHE, it was fun reading some of the responses to this joke on the Adult Swim forums. And someone posted this image: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c278/Gre...each/megane.jpg I'm going to make it into a sig someday...

Guest Levy Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 OK I just read a very intelligent post on the [as] forums, I have to quote this. http://boards.adultswim.com/adultswim/boar...829491#M3829491 Guys.... IF YOU CHECK THE SCHEDULE LINKED ON THE FRONT PAGE -- IT SAYS THAT THE SAME EPISODE NUMBERS ARE AIRING NEXT WEEK... [that should of been your first clue that something was up today] I looked at the schedule. Bleach 28 is scheduled for today and next week. http://www.adultswim.com/schedule/index.html I feel better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Levy Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 you seriously think they would have pulled this and then not show, the episode that was suppose to play, next week? Yes, I think they would have. Anything to make the anime fans hate them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipmonker Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I get an absolute kick out of everytime they change the anime schedule. Cracks me up everytime. Although I know I'm going to have to listen my friends whine on Monday <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini-Chan Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 yea it makes me angry when they change the schedules like that >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webpixie Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 why? you can catch allot of the episodes online(the adult swim fix) especily so when they do somthing like that. Just a reason you shoudl check your tv guide every sat/sunday before AS starts. and it dosn't happen near as much as yall are making it out to be, for the most part it only switchs around when they are adding or takeing away a show, so they reorganize to make it work better...

Furry Curry Level 3 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 oh come on, this kind of reaction was the very reason why they did that to the schedule, i may be an avid anime person but i thought their joke was seriously funny and cruel to the extreme. i love it! they always make fun of the fanatic anime-ers on the little ads anyway heheheheh funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
