Megaman Axess Discussion *spoilers*

And you saw this from where? MegaMan NT Warrior.COM says themselves that only 30 episodes were ordered.

It depends on when Megaman NT Warrior reported the news. There may be some complications that they need to undergo, or they just acquired the episodes but haven't reported it yet.

Haven't you kids learned the official sites of ANYTHING usually get information about stuff LAST? Razz

Crimson Seiko · Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2005 6:52 am Post subject:

I'm just going by the only remotely accurate source MMNTW has at all... which is sadly this fairly empty Flash site that hasn't been updated in over half a year.

EDIT: Now this is just interesting. Kids' WB's scheduling says that the next new episode, on August 6, is entitled "The BattleChip Gate." There's no Japanese episode with that title or anything close, so I'm going to assume this is episode #33 and the start of the Misaki/Prisman arc, "Cross Fusion #0," seeing as the BCG is introduced in this episode.

This is getting weird, though. Kids WB has now successfully skipped three episodes of what one could consider "pointless goofiness." The Commander Beef episode is skipped over now too... and I'm sure ShoPro is dubbing them. I'm just not sure why Kids WB isn't airing them.

But oh well... on the bright side, it's nice to see that Axess is still going REALLY strong. Maybe we'll actually see the entire 51 episodes in one go?

Just a random theory here, but it might be because they are so goofy that they're being skipped.

I think I remember seeing a point on the main site or in this thread that the more serious Axess episodes are drawing the highest ratings, WB may not want to air a goofy episode and risk a ratings drop.

BUT since I don't know squat about the TV industry or how it functions, I wouldn't put too much faith in that theory.

Yeah, but... the way the logic is working in my head is...

Kids WB had to pay money for all of these episodes, and I figure it's fairly expensive for just a single episode. If they don't air the episodes, they pretty much lost that money.

So, it's possible that the goofy episodes are indeed getting lower ratings than the more series episodes... but lower ratings is better than no ratings, isn't it? If they don't air the episodes at all, the Axess run is going to be shorter... that's less of the cow to milk... and they overall just ended up spending money on an episode they'll never be reimbursed from.

Of course, there's plenty of errors to my reasoning, for and against me. They've already aired plenty of goofy episodes... re-ran them, even. They didn't seem to have any problems sending the kids to Yai's mansion in a big transforming elevator robot or having GutsMan attack a city King Kong-style... heck, they skipped two important, serious episodes (SearchMan's intro and CF ProtoMan's intro) and went straight to that Yai-princess one! But on the flip-side... there's still two episodes from the original EXE (CutMan Brothers' intro and Beef VS. Lan) that Kids WB never aired...

So blah. I don't know. But they'd do a lot better having an even mix of goofy and serious episodes, rather than air all of the serious ones, and then the goofy ones all together later. What, are they going to invent a promotional Kids WB week called "Knee-Slapper Week" and air them all then?

...

... nevermind. They probably will.

the reason for the commander beef/gaus ep to be skipped could be that the VA of Commander Beef and Gauss are unavaileble, thus it will take longer before it is finished.

wow, ForteGS I never thought of that. Where they unavailable? I hate it when they skip episodes.

...Richard Newman and Ron Halder haven't gone ANYWHERE. They're still doing voice overs in newer shows >>

Anyway, that aside, this is indeed confusing me. I'm still really hoping that they do show the Aquaman episode in thenear future, or at least know it EXISTS. Teletoon also hasn't updated the MMNTW page as of late...

ForteGS.exe (and this goes for everyone)... come on. If you're going to speculate, indicate that it's speculation... and if you have something to state as a fact, provide some solid evidence. People like me and Kirbopher work fairly hard to dig around the 'net and find accurate, official information for the show, and it doesn't help any when it gets cluttered up with faux information to confuse everyone.

but my text said "could be", which indicates that im not saying its a fact >_>

Crimson Seiko · Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2005 12:17 pm Post subject:

I'm pretty sure it didn't when you originally posted it, but there's no way to prove such a thing at this point, so let's just move on with the topic.

if i changed my message, there would have been a "last been edited by ForteGS.exe".

Back on topic:
if kidswb is realy affraid of soccormoms, theyll cut out the scene where it looks like Misaki has a Heart attack thnx to the dark syncro chip.
If they cut out punches, they will surely cut that part out.

The Junkman episode is pretty goofy too and it's still being shown. Logically, I don't know why they would want to skip anything at all.

Maybe they're skipping eps so KidsWB can pull another "Lost Episodes" special. >.> It's not likely, but it's possible. -_-;

They would've cut out a LOT more episodes if they were gonna do that.

I'm sure that KidsWB! would air some 'lost' episodes for Axess like they did for EXE.
