Awesome. I've been wanting to give this series a shot for a while now because of some of the things I've heard about it so I guess we'll see if it lives up to it or not. Though in all honesty what they REALLY need to do is get more series on their actual TV lineup. Of course who knows what's up with that right now, it may very well be on the verge of shutting down altogether. Hopefully not though. Crying or Very sad

Hmmm online streaming episodes. Does this mean that in the fall that CN WILL do business with ADV again and add ADV titles to it's Adult Swim lineup? Because Cartoon Network hasn't in two years.

From what I know, Upper Deck is responsible for getting the show on Jetstream.

Indeed. The English dub was produced by Upper Deck themselves (although I saw no indication of the studio who actually dubbed it).

Anyhow, I would personally like to state that it is my personal opinion that they had intended this show to shown on TV, but that it was either "over before it even got started" (i.e., there are no plans for a TV broadcast due to lack of interest), and/or they couldn't decide whether to put this on Toonami or their late-night block. The show randomly began airing on Jetstream without any formal announcment (AND, this is NOT the first time this has happened, online OR on-air).

That said, I think we should enjoy this show while we can. My intuition tells me that we may or may not be able to see every single episode of the show.

OTOH, I have no doubt that there will be a DVD release. Let's just hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as The Prince of Tennis (even if Kiba does use the original Japanese opening and ending themes with their original Japanese lyrics...).

at least we know it's not dead as some people though it was. Hope it gets a TV release soon though i have a feeling it might go to AS.

It's "Amusement Park Media", which is the name of ADV's production studio.

I don't recall ADV ever making a practice out of butchering the themes to any of their shows, for tv airing (Eva on AS), streaming (TAN), or DVD release. So, I'd say it's not so much hope, as expect.
