Adult Swim failed to renew the rights to Wolf's Rain. Therefore, Wolf's Rain will not air on Adult Swim ever again. It is the same situation for these animes as well: Blue Gender, Witch Hunter Robin, Kikrader and Case Closed. Some good news, for some, a cheap box set is coming out in July. $50.

i'm not surprised, actually. adult swim already hates anime + not good enough ratings for them = no renewed rights. i figured this would happen. oh well, i already have all of WR on dvd anyway. i need to get WHR now...

It isn't because they hate anime....simply put....they're miserable poor bastards. In order to air new animes, they needed to purchase their rights, and because of that, they had to let go of some of their animes. Yet.......they kept S-Cry-ed.......and got Trinity Blood.
Wolf's Rain>Eureka 7, Bleach, and Trinity Blood combined.
It really doesn't affect me though....I have Wolf's Rain on DVD. WHR and Blue Gender as well.

Iuno.... Bleach has a decent amount of followers. I wouldn't say it rivals Naruto but... it's getting there it seems.

There are quite a few Bleachers, but I don't think that they will represent the biggest chunk of the viewers. Bleach will probably serve as the new Inuyasha and introduce people to anime. However, up until know, Adult Swim has yet to properly promote Bleach. Toonami did a good job at promoting Naruto...but AS is failing at it even though Bleach will premiere pretty soon.
Oh yes, here is an interesting fact. The english voice actor for Ichigo(main character) will be the same guy who voiced Kiba(Johnny Yong Bosch)

That and they still continue to bring in most of their viewers....milk the cow till it dies I suppose.....
BTW, did anyone catch the new animes on AS? Trinity Blood holds some promise....

it didn't get high enough ratings, and someone said something about adult swim's rights to it expiring...
sadly, it's never coming back.

They did air the show like, 3 times before though, right? I have every episode so I'm not concerned. Though sprading WR's sexiness is important too..
Well, I saw Trinity Blood and Bleach, Armand. TB looks cool..

i've heard good things about Trinity Blood, but those sort of anime don't really appeal to me.
my friends that love Hellsing like TB a lot, though.

On the Wolf's Rain subject....they aired once during Saturday nights. And it had two runs during the weekdays...on the second run....they skipped two or three episodes.
On why the rights weren't renewed, the ratings were decent....but they were not the best so they decided to let it go and get new anime....
I've heard great things about Trinity Blood....for the first half anyways.....It seems that the creator of TB died while he was still working on it....so the second half is kind of crappy.....
Bleach....bah....Bosch did good as Ichigo...that's all I have to say on that one.
