News Code Geass R2, Naruto Go on Hiatus on U.S. TV (Update 2)
The American television network Adult Swim will put the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 anime series on hiatus starting next week until further notice, and will repeat two episodes in the series every week in the meantime. On the other hand, Adult Swim has added a second new episode of the Bleach anime series every week for a one-hour block from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Code Geass R2 went on an earlier three-week hiatus in late December and early January.
25 episodes of the first Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion series are now available on Bandai Entertainment's YouTube channel with the choice of English subtitles or English dubbing. The first episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has also been added to YouTube. Bandai Entertainment has not yet responded to ANN's request for comments.
Adult Swim's sibling Cartoon Network currently does not list Naruto in its upcoming schedule. Until last month, the network paired Naruto with a film for its "Action Flicks" block. The latest English-subtitled episodes of the Naruto Shippūden sequel are available from Crunchyroll website, and earlier episodes are being posted weekly to Viz Media's Naruto.com, Crunchyroll, Hulu, Joost, and ANN.

Btooom! GN 3Btooom is not going to be a series for everyone. A darker take on the “real life video game” genre, Inoue doesn't skimp on horrific details, be they violent or sexual.
Fairy Tail GN 27...a page turner of a volume that leaves us eager for the next installment, because while popular wisdom dictates that the hero of a shounen manga nearly always wins, what if this is the time when he doesn't?
Jiu Jiu GN 4 & 5On the whole, Jiu Jiu is a disappointing series.
Demon Love Spell GN 3Demon Love Spell is hardly a stand out in the shoujo genre, but it also is hardly the worst thing in creation.
The maid returns and goes on the warpath to avenge her master as one of the top action franchises of the 2000s continues. While not a masterpiece, this OVA series delivers plenty well enough on its entertainment value.
Despite some significant recurring problems, this tale about humanity defending against giant humanoids intent on eating them is an intense, visceral, and graphic thrill ride which features some of anime's most effectively creepy monsters.
Generally speaking, things are satisfactorily resolved, especially for Akari herself.
It may not be the ending many were hoping for, but Unita does wrap things up fairly well.
Shiki Tsukai GN 1An odd mixture of fighting action and educational intent regarding the traditional Japanese calendar, this manga will appeal most strongly to those interested in its educational content.
