New Anime Confirmed for Adult Swim

The Cartoon Network has apparently acquired broadcast rights to Trigun. This comes as some surprise considering that in May 2001 Pioneer representative Chad Kime stated that Trigun was unlikely to air on the Cartoon Network due to its “excessive use of guns.”

Trigun was part of an announcement that included the already confirmed plans to broadcast the second Lupin the III TV series and “Reign.” Lupin the Third will air Monday-Thursday at 12 midnight (ET, PT), beginning Monday, January 13. Programming information for both Reign and Trigun will be announced at a later date.

The fourth Mobile Suit Gundam movie, Char’s Counterattack, has finally been scheduled to air on the Cartoon Network during Adult Swim on December 28th, 2002 at 11 pm.
