* ''Anime/InuYashaTheMovieFireOnTheMysticIsland''

* ''Manga/InuYasha'' [[note]]Holdover from [adult swim] [=AcTN=]; rights expired at the start of March 2014.[[/note]]

* NewYearHasCome: Adult Swim hosted two New Year's Eve specials in 2002 and 2003. The 2002 one was a parody of the Times Square Ball drop (With Meatwad of ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' as the ball) hosted by Brak and Carl of ATHF. The 2003 special, "The Bashington's", starts with Brak's family inviting the other Williams Street produced show characters for a party (InUniverse, the only anime character Brak's family invited was Manga/InuYasha, and he couldn't stand any of the guests besides Space Ghost and Birdman so he didn't show) and ends with Brak and his family being told ''WesternAnimation/TheBrakShow'' was canceled, which understandably upsets Brak.

* ''Anime/InuYashaTheMovieTheCastleBeyondTheLookingGlass''

* ''Manga/InuYasha'' [[note]]The second-longest running regularly-aired anime series on Adult Swim, behind only ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' - over 5 years after the dub ended, they continued to play reruns well into 2012, albeit as 5:30 AM filler for their Saturday anime block.

* ''Film/TheRoom'' (Run as an April Fools' Day prank in 2009-2011. In 2012, they teased viewers with a ''fourth'' showing of the movie... only to kick off a special Toonami block instead.)

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' (Rights originally expired at the end of 2007 when it eventually made its [[ChannelHop channel hop]] to Comedy Central.

* ''Anime/TheBigO'' (Its second season is the network's first "original anime".

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' (Headliner of the anime block for years, finished its run on Toonami.)
* ''Anime/BloodPlus'' (Rights expired at the beginning of 2010.)
* ''Anime/BlueGender'' (Horribly {{bowdlerise}}d, due to being originally meant for Toonami. This means instances of extreme violence, sexual content, and language (mostly words like "shit" and any time someone says "Jesus!" or "Jesus Christ!" as an expletive, as it aired before Adult Swim allowed harsher doses of profanity on the block) have been toned down or removed entirely.
* ''Manga/CaseClosed'' (50 episodes only, as it was later dropped in 2005 due to low ratings. Episode 48 wasn't shown for unknown reasons.)
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' (Rights expired after one-and-a-half runs, possibly because Adult Swim [[ScrewedByTheNetwork kept changing the time slot later and later]])
* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' (Paved the way for the rest as Adult Swim's first anime series, and remained a perennial fixture on its schedule a decade after the network's debut. After the rights to the show expired, the Toonami staff got them back. Still occasionally reran.)

* ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'' (The last new anime aired on Adult Swim before the Toonami relaunch. Rights expired in 2012.)
* ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' (Originally ran on Adult Swim from 2006 to 2008. Joined the then newly-revived Toonami on August 18, 2012, making it the first anime to be brought back by Adult Swim after its license had expired.)

It was finally pulled from the schedule when the new Toonami premiered on May 26, 2012 but returned to the lineup until the rights finally expired in March 2014.)

* ''Series/{{Kikaider}}'' (Rights expired in 2003.)
* ''Anime/LupinIIIPartII'' (Adult Swim aired only the first 27 episodes, minus the episode "To Be or Nazi Be" due to Nazi themes under request from then-licensor Creator/{{Geneon}}. Rights expired in March 2007.)
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' (Aired the edited Creator/{{Toonami}} version in 2002. Rights expired after one run in 2002.)
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket'' (Aired the edited Creator/{{Toonami}} version in November-December 2002)
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory'' (Edited down to pre-revival Creator/{{Toonami}} standards when it was aired, despite never airing on that block and the promos showing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR2I7lmBXFc footage from the uncut version]]. Rights expired after one run in 2002.)
* ''Literature/MoribitoGuardianOfTheSpirit'' (It was placed on hiatus for a good portion of 2009 due to [[Creator/{{Geneon}} Geneon's]] bankruptcy, but eventually returned to the lineup in late summer, and finally finished in the winter of 2009.)
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' (Was shown edited to Toonami standards back when Toonami was a daytime line-up. When ''NGE'' aired on Adult Swim, the series was edited more in tune with what Adult Swim would do. Rights expired in 2006.)

* ''Anime/ParanoiaAgent'' (Rights expired in 2007. Given an HD rerun on Creator/{{Toonami}} when Creator/{{Funimation}} rescued the show from licensing hell in 2020.)
* ''Manga/PilotCandidate'' (Originally meant to air on Creator/{{Toonami}}, as the edited version aired on that line-up, much to the disgust of the viewers, and the series is considered an OldShame by the network. Rights expired after one run in 2002.)
* ''Anime/ReignTheConqueror'' (Considered another OldShame to the line-up alongside the aforementioned ''Pilot Candidate''. Rights expired in 2004).
* ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'' (Rights expired in 2008 during Creator/{{Geneon}}'s bankruptcy. Toonami brought it back for one more run in 2016).

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[invoked]] In 2007, Adult Swim launched a guerrilla marketing campaign for the ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' [[TheMovie movie]] featuring battery-powered LED placards resembling the Mooninite characters being placed in numerous places around the U.S. However, in Boston, police officials mistakenly thought that the [=LEDs=] were bombs, and treated the whole event as such. This event would turn out to be known as the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_bomb_scare Boston Bomb Scare]], which lead to legal implications being placed on Turner Broadcasting and their contractors, the internet to make mock [[MemeticMutation "Never Forget" memes]], and forced then current Creator/CartoonNetwork head Jim Samples to step down. Cartoon Network as fans knew it would never be the same again, not because of any legal incidents, but of because Samples' replacement, Stuart Snyder, who would become the instigator of the channel’s infamous DorkAge. To this very day, Cartoon Network remains a tug of war between Snyder's successors and the network's older fans. Adult Swim was sparred further NetworkDecay due to Williams Street being a separate operation from the rest of the network.

In Latin America, Adult Swim was eventually [[ChannelHop moved from]] Cartoon Network to I.Sat due to [[MoralGuardians negative reviews from the parents]]. Adult Swim has used Spanish SAP audio since 2007. The block was also launched in Brazil on TBS on Novmber 3, 2014.

Adult Swim (stylized as [[AllLowercaseLetters [adult swim] ]] or [as]) is a [[UsefulNotes/BlockProgramming programming block]] on Creator/CartoonNetwork shown during the {{watershed}} hours.[[note]]Currently, 8:00 pm - 6:00 am Eastern/Pacific time. If your provider offers both East and West Coast feeds of Cartoon Network, Adult Swim can start as early as 5 pm Pacific and end as late as 9 am Eastern, depending on where you live.[[/note]]

Typically, Sundays are anchored by premieres of original programs from Williams Street; while Saturdays mix comedies with English-dubbed anime, the latter of which taking up a majority of the network's airtime. Adult Swim is known for the unique timing of commercial breaks. [[note]]Most American networks have 8 minutes of commercial breaks per half-hour block -- one 1 or 2-minute break at the top of the half-hour, two 2 or 3-minute breaks during the show, and a final 1 or 2-minute break at the end of the half-hour.[[/note]] Adult Swim has only 2 breaks per half-hour; one break in the middle of the half-hour, and one at the end. Viewers appreciate this for obvious reasons, plus they can sometimes have up to 5 uninterrupted minutes of commercial time to leave the TV and do other things before the next show comes on. Considering AS's key demographic is the television gold-mine of males from age 18-35, advertisers still pony up the dollars. The only downside to the viewer would be a CommercialBreakCliffhanger in non-original programming is less effective because [[ToBeContinuedRightNow the show continues immediately after]] (unless, of course, that happens to be where the break actually hits). [[note]]Incidentally, this is how all ad breaks work on UK and Japanese channels.[[/note]]
