I can't take this bashing of Cartoon Network! Not that it is a godsend or anything but without a lot of people would not be exposed to anime. And you have to look at the majority of people who watch Cartoon Network. Kids. Oh well, with that out of the way I'd like to say I'm looking forward to the series.

True, but why bother bringing over anime that are slightly for teenagers and not really for kids? Like, before, when they used to show Sailormoon, Outlaw Star, and a few others (I forget), they censored a lot all because it was "too adult" for the audience, which were kids. But, why bother bringing it over then, and cutting out many things, then showing it? Might as well bring over something like Doraemon. It was only later when they started showing Pokemon, Digimon, and all the other harmless animes.

I noticed that CN does cut out a lot of blood and language (though Adult Swim is no where near as butchered as Toonami) But if you watch Reign: The Conqueror on Adult Swim you will notice a lot of blood.

That's because it's on Adult Swim, where it's aimed for older audiences, so a lot of blood isn't an issue. That's why Cowboy Bebop was shown on Adult Swim. The problem with the Rurouni Kenshin series is that it might be shown on Toonami, where even a drop of blood isn't even shown. And, like Spike Spiegel, Kenshin and other characters get into fights and blood will be around. But if they censor it, then all the cuts on the bodies will be completely "bloodless". That's why I am against Kenshin being shown on Toonami. I mean, what about the fight with Shishio (for those of you who watched that far)? Is Kenshin going to be completely cut and bruise-free?
