OK, Adult Swim is sooo dead...

Putting fart noises into an episode of Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG. Especailly at particualarly dramatic moments

Fuck you, Williams Street.

2. Adult swim's immature idea of an April Fool's Day joke.
OK, I can understand swapping the schedule around on April Fools day. That's standard Adult Swim April Fool's Day shit.

But Fucking with my favorite anime series, especailly a very emotional episode by cutting in fart sound effects throughout the episode. Not cool.


Here's a link to the show I'm talking about.

3. I've seen it.
There's nothing light or funny about GITS.

5. Especailly that episode
The one set in Berlin with the terrorist's wheelchair-bound daughter.

An awesome episode ruined by a juvinille attempt at humor.

Don't get me wrong, I love fart humor, but putting it into the Context of that episode. It's just not right.

BTW, they're doing it to Fullmetal Alchemist, too.

6. I almost posted a spoiler.
It's best if I don't talk about specifics.

13. Well, that episode is pretty good
However the notion of two-story framework buildings in Berlin was rather ... queer as well.

7. OK, at least they've re aired the episode sans fart noises.
I feel better.
