Anime on Cartoon Network Australia

To:  Cartoon Network Australia/Turner broadcasting systems

Myself and other fans are beginning to notice the declining quality of the Cartoon Network Australia (also spanning other nations such as New Zealand), and it is beginning to become a concern, especially for older fans.

Since the abolishment of the Toonami block in 2005 and the Adult swim block in late 2007, the network has been almost completely void of anime or adult-orientated cartoons.

The comedy channel has since picked up the adult swim name and is showing 3 of the several dropped William street shows, though this is far from enough.

We, as fans from an older demographic demand the return of anime such as Bleach, Death Note and air gear, plus re-runs of such classics as Neon genesis: evangelion, Trigun and Yu Yu Hakusho. The Cartoon network needs to acknowledge us as viewers and should provide us with the same, if not better coverage of anime as their U.S. counterpart.

The Adult swim block has since been replaced with re-runs of shows such as Naruto and Ben 10, and whilst they obviously garner younger viewers, one must scrutinize how many of the younger demographic are able to stay up between 10:30PM to 1:00AM at night. It is widely believed that a block of anime or adult-orientated cartoons would be a far more suitable option in this time slot.

We hope that the response to this petition is enough to guide the Cartoon Network Australia executives in the right direction and hopefully their blatant ignorance of their fan base will cease if they see that they can think for themselves and not all their viewers are children.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
