Adult Swim

Adult Swim (usually stylised on bumps) is the name for the adult-oriented television programming block on Cartoon Network, which premiered on September 2, 2001. It has since become its own channel, and shares its station number with CN in a night/day switchoff (see below).

Adult Swim: Action

On February 23 2002, Adult Swim launched a Saturday block of action-themed anime called "Adult Swim: Action." The launch of it was driven by the popularity of Cowboy Bebop, which at the time was its most watched show. The original lineup included shows which already appeared on both Adult Swim and Toonami, including Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and Tenchi Muyo, along with brand new shows like Yu Yu Hakusho, Pilot Candidate, and Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.
