24/7 Adult Swim Marathon

Adult Swim is an adult-oriented nighttime programming block in the popular pay television network, Cartoon Network. In this block, which airs from 9 PM to 6 AM, adult viewers can watch animated and live-show programs with sexual themes, strong languages, and graphic violence. However, they usually needed to wait for the kid-oriented shows to end first. Not this time, though. With the release of [adult swim], they can watch adult-oriented shows without waiting for nighttime. The multimedia software offers a 24/7 marathon of the program block’s popular shows. Moreover, you don’t have to pay for a cable TV subscription to enjoy a ton of content.

Cartoon Network for Adults

Adult Swim debuted in 2001 as the nighttime identity of Cartoon Network. The block was established to give the TV channel alternative programming during late hours when its primary target, the children, would normally be asleep already. It features stylistically varied animated and live shows, including original programs, anime, and short films that have generally minimal or no editing at all in the content. The nighttime block also frequently airs adult animation features, sketch comedies, pilots, and mockumentaries. The contents may be varied, but it all has one common denominator: it is not for children viewing. All shows are known for their sexual themes, nudity, frank sexual discussions, strong languages, and graphic violence. In fact, the programs are so controversial that it sparked conflicts in the past. However, while some raised their eyebrows over the blocks show offering, the number of American households that watches the block—94 million—is a testament of its popularity.

Adult Swim on Your Phone

Following the rising popularity of Adult Swim, the nighttime block released its mobile app. With this, avid viewers do not have to pay for a cable subscription to enjoy their favorite content. Moreover, they don’t have to wait for nighttime because they can watch any Adult Swim show 24/7. The app boasts a large library of shows, including full seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Metalocalypse, and Squidbillies.  You can also find streams that mix various anime from Toonami. A handful of shows are available for free streaming. But if you log in with a supported provider like Playstation Vue, you can get even more content. You can also watch the nightly on-air simulcast if you log in with a cable provider.

However, while the [adult swim] app seemed like nirvana for Adult Swim fans, there are a few things that you should consider before downloading the app. For one, you might notice that the app takes a lot of data compared to other TV streaming apps. Also, there are insistent ad inserts even though you log into the app using your cable provider. Furthermore, the app can be a bit clunky with some annoying bugs on the subtitles. And if you wish to watch using Chromecast, you need to have a lot of patience because it barely works.

Sure, If You Don’t Want to Wait

Downloading the [adult swim] app may be a good idea if you are a fan of the nighttime block. By doing so, you can access your favorite Adult Swim show without needing cable subscription and waiting for them to air on TV. You only need a good internet connection, and you can treat yourself to a marathon. However, bring tons of patience with you as you might experience lots of streaming issues. Also, do not ever let your kids access the app.
