NCSI? I can't believe watch that show.....there's being flashy for TV and then there's David Caruso flashy, and yes I meant NCSI (Not NCIS, or any of those other hour drama where everything wraps up nicely....) otherwise known as Non Crime Scene Investigators.
Not it is I had a brain-fart, I figured that there's no way GITS:SSS is playing on TV a month before it's TV release I guess I was wrong, and it's awesome that's going to be on TV that early. |

Finally some good monday night viewing.
[AS] dosen't really have any weekday anime material on anymore (all it ever had was re-runs anyway) and its great to see another station throw its hat in the ring. Also considering the fact they got the GITS:SSS movie it really shows that the network is willing to go all in on this idea and its not just a way to pull in a few thousand new viewers. They could easily be very successful with this if they keep the pace up. Also praying that they dont go overboard and censor/cut everything from the material, GITS:SSS should be a good test to see how they stand on the issue. Best wishes to scifi and their Ani-monday. Also eagerly awaiting announcement for Ani-tuesday thru Ani-friday.......I think I may be a little to optimistic on this, but I guess we just wait and see how this is going to work out. |

Oh man, some of the best news in a while, AND I DON'T GET TO PARTICIPATE IN IT!!!!!!
Stupid Sci-Fi channel being on digital cable and not regular, and me not being able to afford it!!!  I mean we used to have it back in the day our family could afford it, but now.......GAH!!!!!
Oh well. I guess I still wish it luck in it's new anime block. I hope this doesn't mean the end of [AS]'s anime block though, since I don't have any faith in them whatsoever even if their anime block is being competed against. That'd only take away the only other source of anime I have other than Toonami, which is a good block and everything, but I also need something that won't limit itself in the types of stuff it shows at the same time. Although I'm not sure exactly why it's competition in the first place since [AS]'s block is on Saturday nights instead of Monday. |

1 - Don't want to bite off more than they can chew right from the start. 2 - Let it grow, then bring on the hurt once more studios sign up. 3 - The weekend is reserved for original movies so bad even chemically-altered-individuals won't watch them. 4 - Considering the broadcast rights are almost always exclusive, the ability to broadcast on any other day still means CN can't get them. |

While it's not in direct competition with [AS] main anime night, it's directly trying to grab some of [AS] key demographic, which is that 18-34 and to quote the original article.
Basically it comes down to setting ad price which in turn makes ya more money, and if Sci-fi can take from that giant average that [AS] then they done there job. And apparently Sci-Fi thinks this is the way to do it. |
