On the contrary, I think the main reason Gundam Seed failed on CN was
because it wasn't treated like Wing or G. Seed is just as much a 'kids
show' as Wing or G was, even more so in my opinion. CN should have aired it
4 or 5 times a week at 3 or 4 PM like it did with Wing and G. Airing it at
10:30 at night on saturdays? When either people are out of the house, and
at a time when much of the target audience should be in bed? Insanely dumb
decision. Pushing it back by a few hours? Even worse. But by then the
damage was done. Worst of all is the fact that they only aired it once a
week. Seed is a slow enough show already, doing that pretty much killed any
chances of large audiences sticking around. Seed never should have been on
Adult Swim. Bandai and CN have no one to blame but themselves for the
Gundam fiasco. Its unfortunate. CN killed the golden goose. Wing and G
were hits. Despite the fact that I think the show is horrible, I have
little doubt that Seed would have been a hit had they aired it like they did
with Wing and G. Now we likely won't see Gundam on US TV again, thanks a
lot CN!
Well, yeah it would've done way better on weekdays during the
afternoon but CN stopped showing Toonami on weekdays by the time SEED
was on TV here. I think right now either Naruto or that Bobobobo or
whatever is airing in SEED's 10:30PM slot right now and is probably
doing well. I was just saying it'd do better on Adult Swim because of
the audience. Eureka Seven kind of reminded me of SEED because it
starts off very slow. Also, SEED seemed to've been very edited and
edited badly. It would've done much better if unedited and shown on
Adult Swim vs. it's other timeslots and edited I think.
