"After all these years, you know it's not about control. It's about trying to do everything I can. And for you, it's about setting an example. Everyone looks up to you. They listen to you. If you tell them to fight, they'll fight. But they need to be inspired, and let's face it, 'Superman'...the last time you really inspired anyone... was when you were dead." -- Batman, to Superman, Infinite Crisis, issue 1

Nightwalker Midnight Detective. But that will NEVER happen.

"Snakes say sss."
"Lions chase people."
And of course…”Tigers bite you.”

You are on my list of awesomeness. I havn't met many people who's even heard of the series, much less seen it.

I know Fruits Basket would do phenomenal if they would just give it a shot.
And really, why shouldn't we be afraid? In case you haven't heard, life is terminal. Cigarettes will kill you. So will your cellphone. Your car is a deadly weapon and alcohol is a quiet killer. Don't lick the lead-based paint on the walls. Don't lick the back of a postage stamp and certainly don't lick any strangers! That will bring you down quickly indeed. Don't drink the water but don't drink less than eight glasses a day. Your enviroment is toxic, your natural resources are dwindling, your days are numbered, but what ever you do, don't panic! The stress, don't you know, will kill you.
-- Jonathon Crane/The Scarecrow Rise of Sin Tzu novel

Because of when it's aired, FCC standards prevent CN from showing it with flowing blood and rather violent stabbings and piercing attacks (i.e., Naruto stabbing himself in the hand, or Zabuza getting impaled with the acupuncture needles). Further, they do say "die, kill, death", but only sometimes are synonyms and similar phrases interjected. Honestly, Naruto's not mature nor violent enough to be on AS (the cartoon was toned down immensely from the manga version).
The FCC has nothing to do with cable networks. CN has its own Standards and Practices which relegate what can or can't be aired. Also, Naruto has been handled very well and there is blood.

I think Desert Punk would be good for AS.
Don't you wish Gundams were real?

I'd actually like to see more of Rumiko's stuff on there. Like Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku and Mermaid Forest. But that's just me....

I'd like to see the original Dirty Pair Tv series on AS, but I don't know if these episodes have ever been dubbed into English. >_<;

I think Elfed Lied would fit in.
Another show I love is Chobits, I think they should give that a shot, its kinda girly, but its really funny.

Ayashi No Ceres!!!

I'm completely hooked on the manga and I've only seen a handful of episodes of the anime on youtube. I would love to see this on Adult Swim, and I don't think its to overly girly for people not to get into it, and it has a great story line!

Night Walker would be nice, I have all twelve episodes on DVD and it was a pretty eerie anime. Only problem is that its so short! Its only twelve episodes long so I don't think it would last very long on Adult Swim.

Angle Links another short anime series that is only thirteen episodes long but its set in the same universe as Out Law Star, and it pretty good and has lots of action.

BoogiePop Phantom: This is a very weird and twisted anime that can be pretty violent, but its pretty good. Its also a short anime but its packs so much material into it that you'll be glad that its not bigger than that.

Definitely the the Mermaid saga by Rumiko Takahashi I think it would be very popular on Adult Swim

Ranma 1/2 uncut! Come on, even if this anime is big on humour and sort of cutesy it is pretty hentia uncut! i think it could do well on Adult Swim.

Shamanic Princess: Absolutely gorgeous anime with an interesting story line and characters. It may appear kind of girly on the surface buts its pretty violent at times with lots of mysticism and chanting.

The Ninja Scrolls series. Plenty of action and fighting very good

Pet Shop of Horrors Adult Swim really needs more anime of the Gothic/Horror genre

I remeber reading somewhere, that AS tried to get Elfen Lied, but the FCC said that it would be super heavily edited.

I can see the nudity be cencored....but the blood...?
I had a magazine, and they interviewed someone from AS, and one of the series she said she woudl like to air would be Full Metal Panic!, which I love...

I also think Ikki Tousen would be a good anime to put on adult swim except they may have to censor some of the panty shots. But despite the shameless eye candy factor of this series it does have some pretty cool and brutal fight scenes and a rather interesting story line. In fact I would enjoy this more if it was focused more on the warring schools and how they connect to thier ancestors rather than many times they get Hakufu striped nearly naked :x

And I think I would to see the Vampire Hunter D movies preimeired on Adult wsime as well

And maybe Sakura Wars :D

I don't think the panty shots would be a problem.
There is nudity in Ikkitousen though.....
