I was thinking the same thing with Pierrot. But then I found out Gintama' (which is produced by Sunrise) is also ending next week. Gintama' is getting a more rotten deal with Bleach and getting replaced with a cgi adaptation of Gon the Dinosaur, heck at least Barney was bad*** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM6Z8If4jRs&feature=related Maybe, perhaps Shueshia and TV Tokyo had a falling out and are only keeping Naruto Shippuden because I think there would be a national crisis if that were ever canceled, especially with its golden hour time slot. Naruto's time slot is too valuable to give to just anyone, and to give it to some unknown series would be financial suicide and a PR nightmare. I find it too suspicious that three well-known shonen anime, two animated by the same studio, and all three airing on the same station, ending pretty much unannounced and none given a formal press release of their series ending is too convenient. Something is defiantly going down.
