You're kidding, right? I could give you a hundred without breaking a sweat. There've been some good ones in this very thread even. I'm no dub hater either, in fact the exact opposite if anything, but Rave Master's dub is pretty bad.

I think Terra E, Planetes, Vandread, Kiddy Grade, Fantastic Children, or any number of other shows could have worked better.

almost all of those are licensed by other networks.

I don't understand how people STILL don't understand how Ani-Monday works. Ani-Monday is a leased time-slot. It's a two-hour block that is essentially owned by Manga Entertainment, and it is programmed by Manga. Think along the lines of how infomercials work, or how some movies buy time on Adult Swim to get showcased in bumps and things like that. Just it's two hours long. Or, alternatively, how FUNimation has bought programming blocks on other networks in the past. Or how 4Kids owned Fox's Saturday morning block.
So it's not Sci Fi who is really deciding what shows go on or not. Manga is entering into agreements with other licensors (mainly Bandai) and allowing them to use their leased television time to get exposure, especially since Manga is more or less out of shows they themselves own that haven't been aired.
Why the hell they got Rave Master, however, is beyond me.

Really? I figured the FUNi shows (Vandread and Kiddy Grade) might be on the FUNi channel, but what channel has the Bandai shows?

It was probably cheap. And it's a lot longer than most of the shows they have aired so far... then any that I know of, actually, so it should help reduce some of the constant repeats.

Why not get ahold of the original Mobile Suit Gundam, which CN never gave a full airing? Or Zeta Gundam, though the dub is almost unbearable. Make Sci-Fi the place to watch Gundam and succeed where CN failed.
It helps not airing it at 1:00 am like CN did SEED. |
I think Gundam will go well on SciFi. Maybe it will get a cult following on that channel.

Wow. Can't say I'm particularly excited about anything they plan on showing in the future like I was about Gurren Lagann and Gundam 00... *sigh* Oh well.
Oooh, that'd be fun if they showed other Gundam series... I'm late on the Gundam-scene, and I'd love to see some of the older series. Probably never gonna happen on Sci-Fi, but a girl can dream.

What's the point of showing an edited dub?

to nebs and megiddo, I'm sure a lot of people posting here could make better suggestions but what's the point in getting upset about something that's out of the hands of the fans and in control of the network, I honestly am not too happy about sci fi airing rave master but hey atleast sci fi hasn't pulled anything like [AS] with anime

Currently I am reading the rave master manga. I also bought the few DVD's that were released of the anime, I will be glad to watch the anime, when it airs. Even though the channel is called sci fi, they do a lot of fantasy stuff too, so i think rave master fits ok. I will be looking forward to it.

Lemme get this straight. They're taking off Gundam 00 after the first season to show Tokyopop's crappy hackjob dub of Groove Adventure Rave?!? What next? 4Kids' One Piece? |
I suppose you've a better suggestion? |
And you can't?! Hell, there were better things off of Toonami's own libary that would do well on AniMon.

Yay! Maybe now I can see the two episodes that I missed when it first ran on Cartoon Network. From the previews, I remember that one was about Plue deflating or something, and the other was when they first met that bear guy. Yippee! I also get to see episodes 3 and 4 of Gurren Lagann , which I missed the first time around. Now if only they would repeat Now and Then, Here and There so that I can see the third and fourth episodes of that series, which I missed as well.
Oh, repeats! Gotta love 'em. Although I must agree that Rave Master is a totally unexpected acquisition. Maybe someone out there likes the Big Butt Bandits....

If you check the info,Macross Plus is a 4 part OVA so the're not reshowing it again.
ALso was kinda susprised.Though they would go straight into season 2 just like what AS did with code geass,and i'm kina interested.Maybe since it's on midnight,it'll mean that the series might be redubbed instead of showing the edited versions.Doesn't that make more sense.
