Do I have to gouge out my eyes again?

WTF? Please tell me this is false.

[I don't know anything about the site and its reliability, but the story was reported on Manga Jouhou.]

Pffffffftttt. Since when would FOX care about a show like this? It wouldn't make money, especially not to the over-12 age group.

Well, looking at how FOX decides which shows to keep and which to cancel ... *ahem* "Firefly" *ahem*.

Still, I find it fairly unlikely. Despite anime's popularity in the States, I don't think FOX would consider it "mainstream" enough.

What's the problem with deciding to cancel Firefly? I hear it was horrendously expensive to film. However popular a series may be, if it can't keep up with costs, it has to go. Not saying I agree with the decision, but it sounds like they had good reason.

This, if true, might be more like the creation of Firefly in the first place: the pet project of someone with a lot of clout.

Part of the outcry over Firefly's cancellation was that FOX had somehow managed to under-advertise it despite the Joss Whedon connection. The least they could have done was to try to mobilize a portion of the "Buffy" fanbase.

Plus, there's that wonderful bit about FOX showing two episodes out of order early on, too...

ANN says it's false, that the rumor item isn't even in Animage as claimed. Incidentally, I wish Animage would start providing permalinks so that people could actually link to individual news items...
