Thanks! I can get Cowboy Bebop on Carton Network. Also this:

Unfortunately Cartoon Network doesn't seem to show a lot of the other stuff you mention, though apparently at one point they were supposed to show Escaflowne:

Escaflowne On Toonami

Toonami will premier Escaflowne sometime this year. It's still too early to know if the Cartoon Network will be the heavily edited American Fox Television version or the less edited Canadian version broadcast on YTV. Apparently the Cartoon Network is also considering broadcast an edited version of Cowboy Bebop.

I guess this is what happened:

Get back good anime, good anime (12/03)

>Who else thinks that toonami should put back some of the good anime like Gundam wing,Gundam 0080,Outlaw star,Tenchi,Ronin warriors, some like that there are more if you want to talk about that just send me a message or email me at iam_brownsowhat@hotmail.com

Cartoon Network doesn't have the rights to those shows anymore. That's why they're not on.

I'm also seeing Fox had a kids' version of Escaflowne on once and cancelled it:

Escaflowne on FOX/YTV

Escaflowne's too weird for American tv. Cartoon Network shows one episode of Kenshin on Saturday nights at 10 or 11.

Unfortunately, anime on tv is dubbed, and dubbing is evil evil evil. Subtitles are the way to go. You sort of pick up more of the flavor that way. Especially with the honorifics - 'san' versus 'Mr' - they don't feel the same.

Ok, I have figured out why I like Rurouni Kenshin so much. The death count is low because they're not fighting to kill people, in fact that's Kenshin's whole point, he doesn't kill people any more. So - it's subtle and I don't know quite what I mean here - the swordfighting and such becomes about life rather than death. 'The sword that protects people' - it sounds really corny but it's actually pretty neat.

Or maybe that's the cough syrup talking.
