  • From my VHS recordings, here are the bumpers and promos (and occasional commercial) that aired during Inuyasha on Adult Swim in the Fall of 2002. This was when Inuyasha premiered on the "Adult Swim Action" block, on Saturday nights (the block launched in February 2002, featuring anime that were deemed more mature, and thus "inappropriate" for weekday afternoon Toonami). "Inuyasha" joined the block in August 2002.
    I don't have full commercial breaks, but still, this gives you an idea of what Adult Swim was like in the Fall of 2002. EDIT: Not sure why the audio quality isn't as good for this upload, this is the best I could get it.
    Included here:
    1. "Bagel Bites" commercial. This aired before the first broadcast of Inuyasha on Adult Swim. Thank you, Tony Hawk, this sums up the early 2000's Adult Swim lifestyle completely.
    2. "Parents Strongly Cautioned" bumper (this always aired before the start of an Adult Swim show, in 2002).
    3. The "Adult Swim Action" intro bumper (showing clips of each "Adult Swim Action" show, including "Cowboy Bebop", "Outlaw Star", "Tenchi Muyo", "Gundam 0083", "Yu Yu Hakusho" and "Pilot Candidate". "Inuyasha" was the first new show added to the block.)
    4. The first few seconds of "Change the World", the intro opening song for the first season of Inuyasha (I included it here to show there was a brief period where Adult Swim would broadcast the intro song/opening credits for anime series, but they stopped airing the intro song about 5 or 6 weeks later, and never brought it back).
    5. "Inuyasha will return" bumper.
    6. Adult Swim Action "up next" bumper (showing after Inuyasha, the line-up was "Yu-Yu Hakusho", "Cowboy Bebop", "Gundam 0083", "Mobile Suit Gundam", and "Outlaw Star". So by this point, they had already removed "Tenchi Muyo" and "Pilot Candidate").
    7. "Inuyasha "now continues" bumper
    8. Inuyasha end credits (the first end credits, from the first half of Season 1). So Adult Swim would air the end credits, but not the opening credits for each of their shows.
    9. Adult Swim "Inuyasha complete / Yu Yu Hakusho next" bumper
    10. Adult Swim "Yu Yu Hakusho Next" bumper.
    11. The Adult Swim Action "Inuyasha intro". After episode 5 or 6, they stopped airing the original opening theme song and aired this short intro instead (so they can have more time to air commercials, I suppose).
    12. Adult Swim "will return" bumper
    13. Another Adult Swim "will return" bumper
    14. Adult Swim "Inuyasha complete / Inuyasha next" bumper. This is from December 2002. There was a period where they were briefly broadcasting 2 new episodes back to back in late 2002.
    15. Adult Swim "Inuyasha complete / Cowboy Bebop next" bumper
    16. Adult Swim "Inuyasha complete / Inuyasha next" bumper.
    17. Adult Swim "now continues" bumper
    18. Adult Swim "Inuyasha complete / Cowboy Bebop next" bumper. This brings us to the end of 2002 with Adult Swim Action. In early 2003, the block would undergo a rebrand.
    Commentary: Inuyasha was my favorite "Adult Swim Action" show (Cowboy Bebop was too.....serious, for me). Of course, I was a big "Ranma 1/2" fan from back in the 90's (I was always into the works of Rumiko Takahashi) so this was a natural progression for me.
    Stay tuned, more to come!
