Adult Swim Premieres For The Weekend Of March 26
This weekend’s premieres on Adult Swim include robots, chickens, more robots, and the possible return of an old friend.
First off is the first-ever airing of the Robot Chicken episode “May Cause Internal Diarrhea.” According to Adult Swim’s official description of the episode, “Robot Chicken helps Dexter bring his robot mother to market… but buyers go off-label. Plus, the Itsy Bitsy Spider doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, and take a visit to the land of Disney’s dead parents.” Such a land would lean female by a ratio of at least 5 to 1. Disney always kills off the mom first!
One day before then, Toonami kicks off with another new episode of the latest AS / Crunchyroll co-production, Shenmue: The Animation. Here’s where we are in the story:
“In “Aspiration,” Ryo is living at Xiuying Hong’s house. Xiuying ignores Ryo’s wish to meet Yuanda Zhu and keeps making him do chores for Man Mo Temple. To understand Xiuying’s notion, Ryo must learn wude the principles of martial arts.” I wonder if “learn wude the principles” is a typo or if it’s Chinese for something. Either way, it sounds like we’re in for a lot more training instead of action.
Also, don’t forget that right before Shenmue, there’s the second half of a brand-new Total Immersion Event starring TOM and SARA called “The Return.” Part 1 suggests that we could see an earlier model of TOM come back! The segment airs Saturday, March 26 at 12 a.m. ET/PT. All episodes can be viewed multiple ways: the network itself, Adult Swim.com, and the Adult Swim app.
