It was never only about anime...

Exactly what mistakes are you talking about?

Adding new shows instead of repeats. TRUE fans love watching the same episode twice in a 4 hour period.

Well, I can't really speak for Toonami because I didn't really watch it. I did most of my watching on Adult Swim. I stopped watching adult swim when they started showing American cartoons. There is a very big difference between a Japanese anime and an American cartoon. And I don't believe that Adult Swim knew that, or at least they forgot it.

American cartoons are not made for adults unless they are funny. I didn't then and don't now watch anime looking for funny stuff. I watch anime because it tells stories that touch on lots of different emotions and can not be told in live-action movie and television because the technology is not advanced enough to be cost-effective.

Also it seems that Japanese story tellers are just willing to go places that Americans will not go, dark places like Death Note and Blood Plus, or to obscure love stories like Chobits. I don't think we couldn't have gotten Ghost in the Shell out of comic/cartoon making outfit. Lastly, I don't think American animation will catch-up with Japanese anime until American animators/story tellers are willing to "go there."

Toonami was never all about anime, I really hope you know that.

Dude, it's time to just face the fact. Cowboy Bebop is just the best anime series ever. Especially in the opinion of people who watch Toonami and used to watch Adult Swim and give them their ratings. There is a reason that they keep bringing Bebop back.

Looks like they only paid FUNimation for a one time run, so once they aired it for 12 weeks and they finished the last episode, they stopped showing it rather than use re-runs and started with Samurai Seven.

I suppose it makes a bit of sense, as FUNimation is releasing the DVD version of Deadman Wonderland next week, so it'll take advantage of people who want to see it again.
