Is Adult Swim trying to attract more Women/Girls?

[aegisrawks]

We all know how Superman tested well with girls and was to be an unisex kids show until it got Adult Swim'd. But then Came Sailor Moon... I know they cancelled Tuca and Bertie but do you guys think Adult Swim wants a female audience for some of their shows?

Sailor Moon is closely associated with the most nostalgic point in Toonami history. It may be a shoujo, but boys were watching it just as much back in the day. All getting it back means is they wanted one of the most iconic Toonami shows for Rewind. And they are kinda limited on their choices, it was Viz and thus accessible.

Now looking at AS own content, stuff like Teenage Euthanasia and Birdgirl were obvious attempts to make female oriented shows. Both of them flopping shows that trying to make female oriented content for AS is a bad choice since they are a minority demographic for the network.

If they really wanted a female audience, they would've gone for Gundam Wing on Rewind. Or get more bishounen/pretty-boy heavy action anime on Toonami like K or Touken Ranbu.

I can legit see these happening now.

Gundam Wing definitely could work on Rewind. It would fit great between Sailor Moon and DBZ Kai, if they cut Kai down to one a week.

I don’t think they want the expense though. Gundam doesn’t come cheap. And Gundam also doesn’t hold the audience because when you take the nostalgia goggles off, it’s pretty boring.
