Yeah you're right.. CN totally screwed anime.. but you gotta admit, they did introduce america to so pretty interesting anime I may not have head of without them. Such as Inuyasha, Yu-Yu Hakusho, Candidate for the Goddess, and Cow Boy Beebop. Sure I probably would have found them while searching the net for new anime, lik eI always do... but I probably wouldnt have noticed it as fast without CN.
But hey, I hardly ever get a chance to watch CN anyway. It shuts off and turns to the sports channel at 4pm every weekday and 12 noon every weekend... because the people here in my town voted that they wanted sports more instead of CN all day.... god I hate my town and the stupid cable company... I cant wait to get satellite...
Anyway, yeah, its screwed what they did with DBZ... I was like..
What!? Kid Buu blew up the earth?!?!?!
The the next day I wait to see what happens... and they skip back to the BEGINING of the Machen Buu chapter when
Goku goes Super Sayajin 3! ... I think it was 3.. yeah it was three..
They did that with the newly dubbed eps of Sailor Moon S! at the end of the series they SKIP over the most important episode in the series, then start over from the beginning, and then AFTER the re-run of the series, they show the important episode at the near-end of the series! ... agh! I hate that! .... American dub anime is so bad!! *cries* .... yet we are drawn to watch it, because it is all we have unless we have the money and time to go out and buy the Japanese subtitled, films... like me!
So yeah.. CN sucks... but does have good qualities when introducing the world to new types of anime...
