Sadly, I think R2 would've been made better by a crazy timeslot change to 5am. -_-

True, true. Even if the show itself hadn't changed, lack of sleep does wonders for entertainment value.

Well, I actually meant in Japan. When Sunrise made the timeslot change, they were just off by 12 hours. >_>

Also, can you imagine trying to understand Turn 21 at 5am? Or Turn 15? Half the people watching are gonna be drunk and/or stoned then, anyways--oh wait, drugs might actually help in comprehension.

. . . I did watch Turn 21 at 5am :(

Haha, wow. I watched it at 3am and didn't remember much except going, "HOLY CRAP, IT'S JUPITER! CHARLES VROOOOM! FUCK, I'M TRIPPIN' BALLS!" I trust your experience was something similar.

I try (sometimes). *curses LJ's 40kb limit*

YEAH THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH MY EXPERIENCE RIGHT THERE. FUCK YEAH, R2.

[petpet] I curse it too 8(

That was about my experience too, but I was coming off being pretty tipsy, so I kept wondering if I was actually more sober than the staff at Sunrise when they wrote that episode.
