Toonami Coming Back to Adult Swim

  

Cartoon Network is bringing back Toonami to it’s Adult Swim block on May 27 at 12:00 a.m. (midnight).  Most of the shows will be what you would think: Bleach; Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood; Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig; and Cowboy Bebop.  However two shows will be airing that are new to the block: Deadman Wonderland (12:30 a.m.) and Casshern Sins (1:00 a.m.)  It’s good to see Toonami coming back and hopefully they will expand on their variety of shows in the future.

Comics Under Threat Again?!

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and ICv2 have reported that comic books in the DC area are coming under fire again.  The news story concentrates on comic books not being for little kids any more.  That’s been the case since the 1980’s.  The companies have also placed age level warnings on their comic books to let purchasers know what age demographic it is targeted for.  The shift in story writing has been to allow artists to write and do artwork that is more artistic.  Because of that, the medium has produced some great stories and a wide variety of art styles that are beautiful to view.  There are books and movies that are made for specific audiences, the comic medium is no different.  There are comic books made for different age groups that are available.  To me it all falls back on the parents.  The parent decides on what their child can read and/or watch as a family unit.  You cannot decide what other family units believe is right for their family units to read and/or watch, otherwise you start corrupting what the Constitution stands for.  The psychologist in the report states that the imagery could influence children, well I guess you better not take you child to an art museum because they will see the same type of imagery.  There is a statement that their is violence, sex and adultery in comic books, well children can find all of that in David’s story in the Bible.  Sometimes I just shake my head in wonderment.  To read the stories follow the links posted below.
