Since I'm a mecha head I would have added Getter Robo and Mazinger Z and their respective movies. I think american kids would have been responsive to super robot shows like this since Gundam Wing cleaned house when it debuted on the programing block.
I wonder if the 2002 Hunter x Hunter series could have been brought over too.
Yeah it's surprising they didn't bring over X. I wonder if it not doing well in Japan played a role in that?
Sunrise Japan fucked up and absolutely refused to license it since it bombed in Japan. Totally missed opportunity, but who knows,
probably still would have fucked with the release schedule either way.
I've never seen HxH, but I totally agree that it would have done well. Yu Yu Hakusho and DBZ were massive back then. I haven't seen the 70s Getter or Mazinger anime, but the Getter OVAs would have done well on Adult Swim (like with 08th MS Team and some of the other stuff they had). Shit, they had stuff like Blue Submarine no. 6 that was super mid lol
