Well, actually, The y are on Adult Swim, so yes, they are marketed to the older, more mature audiences.

i dunno... Tom Goes To The Mayor is on adult swim, and that's one of the most crappy, immature shows i've ever seen...

Do you think that what's on Adult Swim even makes up one percent of what anime there is?

Nor is all anime that's on Adult Swim all that's even dubbed and shown on TV in the US.

And...this rather proves my point that in the US, anime is targeted at an older audience than was originally intended.

For that matter, there are plenty of shows broadcast in America that aren't on Adult Swim. Naruto isn't, I think, One Piece isn't, I don't think any of the Dragonball stuff was.

How I see it is that you have to graduate from cartoons then move to Anime^^ The age range differs since most anime shown in the US are aimed for older people.

Naruto is, I think...One Piece I have no idea about, and while DB stuff was shown on Adult Swim, it was primarily on duing the day.

Azumanga Daioh wouldn't belong on Adult Swim. It's something that'd be on during the day.

Once again, not true...

You realize there is a huge amount of anime out in the US that's not even shown on TV, unless you're lucky enough to get the Anime Network?

I know. These animes are aimed at a younger aged group. "Adult Swim" used to be in a public pool when the kids had to leave and the Adults swan alone. This is exactly what it symbolizes.

Shin chan's on Adult Swim, and that's a childrens show. Or it was before they did strange things to it in the dub.

Understand me, or Shin-chan?

Shin-chan is a Japanese children's show. Much of the humor is untranslatable because it relies on Shinchan saying and doing things that would seem odd to a Japanese audience but meaningless to an American one. Adult Swim got the liscence and is broadcasting it, but they made it much more mature/offensive by playing fast and loose with their translations (which has some people very upset; I don't care one way or another).

If anime was more aimed at a certain age group, it would've been stated; but it's isnt. It's sort of like regular movies, the movie library is just too huge to even make an estimate of the audiences that it targets most.

Great, you can wiki something that totally contradicts what you said earlier in this thread. Some of us know this as a fact because it's bloody common sense.
