What is SVES and why was it hated so much?
SVES was the fan-made name of the Saturday night action block on Cartoon Network that premiered on March 1, 2003. Compared to some as the “action equivalent of Cartoon Cartoon Fridays,” Saturday drew the ire of many Toonami fans for taking shows like Dragon Ball, .hack//SIGN, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Rurouni Kenshin off the Toonami block and premiering shows like Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya), Transformers Energon, and other shows that would have normally premiered on Toonami. The final airing of SVES was on Saturday, April 10, 2004, replaced the following week with a more teen-oriented relaunch of Toonami.
