Anime/Hoping you can help

Question
Yeah, I know of Home Movies, but this was a different show that I've never seen before. It definitely wasn't a cartoon network show and I'm sure, also, that it was in an Asian language before it was dubbed. The end credits actually were still playing the original oriental music. I really appriciate the help though! Plus you were REALLY quick to respond.

Thanks!

Please help me figure out what show I saw in the early AM hours on adult swim.
I've been looking everywhere for the name of the anime, but it doesn't want to
be found. I'm hoping you'll know it!
  
The show was about either elementary school or preschool kids. It was a comedy
with adult humor in it and the animation/ color style was very rough. Of the
episode I saw there was a rich girl who wanted a little sister so she asked one
of her rivals to be her sister because they would "look good together." They
fought over who was Mary Kate and who was Ashley Olsen. Ummm... I really hope
that helps. They liked to curse, which seems unique in the anime world for a
cartoon with such little kids. Very much a comedy for the older audience.

Thank you sooo much!

This show you are describing is actually not an anime per se.  It's called "Home Movies" and is one of [adult_swim]'s original animations.  I do believe that new episodes use to be shown on Sunday, but I don't think that there have been any new ones lately.

On a side note, the creator of Home Movies, Brendan Smalls, has a new show called Metalocalypse, which is about a death metal band

Answer
Well, if it isn't Home Movies, the only other show I can think of with iffy animation and crude humor/language with young children on Cartoon Network would be 'Crayon Shin-chan' which has the bonus of being as random as Super Milk-chan.

Other than that, I really don't know.  I don't have the pleasure of being able to stay up that late to see it myself :)

I can answer most general questions about most series. Recently, I have been watching Bleach, Tenjho Tenge, Rozen Maiden, DearS, Kaliedo Star, xxxHolic, Sorcerer Hunters, Noir, Chobits, Ojamajo Doremi, Naruto, and Digimon, so I am more immediately familiar with these series. I am knowledgable in manga as well, some Japanese/American cultural differences, and 'ecchi/hentai' as well. Also, I have some knowledge in anime related live action TV shows, radio broadcasts, and musicals I try to avoid Americanizations of anim

Experience

I have watched anime since the mid 90's and collected manga for just as long. Also, I was a regular customer promoted to employee at my local anime/manga shoppe for about a year before I couldn't afford it anymore. Also, have done some dabbling in drawing fanart and manga.
