That bump about picking anime titles confirms they have one coming and they're trying to find a second but regardless at least one new anime is coming.
But the anime industry here suffered another major blow. Bandai is ceasing new releases and downsizing. One can only wonder who will get some of their shows but other series are likely never to be seen here (legally) again. http://www.toonzone.net/news/articles/39747/bandai-entertainment-

Maybe Turner could buy the rest of the rights to The Big O and I.G.P.X. but I seriously doubt they have even passing interest in doing that as I.G.P.X. was a flop and The Big O's rerun ratings aren't that great. Adult Swim still has FLCL despite it switching hands and Manga's always been involved in GitS so it probably will continue to air on Adult Swim at least until it's current contract expires but what of Cowboy Bebop? It might very well leave Adult Swim's hands forever unless the company that obtains the rights wants it to continue airing on Adult Swim (though a change in price for the rights might end up being the straw that breaks the camel's back.
If things do not manage to work themselves out there goes pretty much the entire 2AM-4AM block's shows at which point the only things they could do to fill that time with anime would be to add in more episodes of the shows they're already airing and while I think having an extra hour of Bleach reruns at 2AM would actually be very good for ratings we all know what they're going to do instead. Comedy encore returns. Star Wars Saturday may be a glipse of things to come.
HELPeR for the TOONAMI, Mobile Suit Gundam, Dragon Ball Z, Harvey Birdman and Perfect Hair Forever boards. Feel free to ask me anything on those topics.
