So Last Exile returns to G4. It took them long enough, so when are they going to re-broadcast in the states?

Anime has obviously proven very successful for G4's Canadian operation if they're getting that much more of it. I wonder when it'll dawn on the clowns running the U.S. operation that anime does attract young adult viewers if handled right. (^_*)

And I wanted to see if they'd show Madlax on G4Tech, but we'll just have to wait a little longer.

Yeah.
seriously.,
I'm moving as well.
Anime hyper
Though alot of those titles (Lain, Last Exile, Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy, even Paranoia Agent) feel like they would be great for, (let alone the fact that Lain & Last Exile aired on TechTv) TechTv's Anime Unleashed back before G4 raped TechTv off the face of..uh., America..

Maybe, I should get going and buy g4tech and RAZER already. Those are some wicked titles that I would love watching again.

Oh and maybe this is a good and bad kinda thing I'm thinking...
G4
With Sci-Fi and [as] rearing the fight for Anime Viewers, then you got FUSE.
You think G4 would bring back Anime Unleashed or Anime in general.
But honestly?
I don't wanna see any anime on that piece of Crap channel.

The really sucky thing is that G4 has the North America TV rights to those great shows and has no intention of showing them again in U.S.

Fuse has acquired the rights to Ergo Proxy that's the only place your going to see in the US.

My dream is to see an anime channel with anime subbed...

For sure that will never be possible, I will continue to rent/buy. At least I am happy, to see a store near my home that is specialize in anime an have all the series to sell or rent.

Actually, I think G4TechTV's Anime block and line-up are far superior to Sci-Fi's. There's quite a bit more variety, and none of the censorship that Sci-Fi has been so bad with. (And yes, I have been informed that Paranoia Agent will be running uncensored.)

Also, it should be noted that Lupin III will still be running Monday-Wednesday at 8:00pm EST.

well maybe its just personal preference. Ergo Proxy is the only thing i really want to see. I'll probly watch the rest cause I haven't seen it, but Id still take some of the scifi stuff over this. Also, Volume wise I believe Sci Fi still takes the cake right now. Idunno about the censorship thing. I haven't been following it that much.

What do you mean "volume-wise"? Sci-Fi only airs anime one night a week, whereas G4TechTV is showing it every night.
