The Click - March 3rd - March 9th

Speaking of series that were ignominiously dumped into unwatchable timeslots - here's .hack, another big-name franchise that failed to ignite the imaginations and wallets of American anime fans!

So, as frustrating as it is that in this era of increased telecommunication conglomeration it is nigh-impossible for niche anime-only networks to increase their market penetration; irritating though it may be that shoujo or anything slightly leaning towards female viewers is nearly nonexistent; and sad as it is that Naruto still lags in certain key demographics behind Hannah Montana, all you guys out there are keepin' the hope alive. And you're all awesome.

Thank heavens Cartoon Network is airing this show in proper order - audiences might not have noticed all of MAR's subdued subtleties and nuances otherwise.

If you think I'm joking when I say things like "every third word of every line spoken in the One Piece dub is a terrible, terrible pun," then I dare you to actually watch an episode of dubbed One Piece. Especially in these later episodes, when the writers must've noticed the show's days were numbered, and simply threw every pun and the kitchen sink wherever inappropriate.

Canada's only one episode ahead of us in Bleach, not two.

Im just wondering which of these apply to Canada. I watch all my Anime on YTV, but what about Razer or G4Tech? Are they viewable here and are they speciality channels (not included in basic cable)?

More importantly, Cartoon Network. I know Teletoon, which has always has Cartoon Networks logo everywhere. Its not the same though obviously, it doesnt have all the AdultSwim lineup shows. Is Cartoon Network viewable in Canada? Id love to watch some of those, especially Trinity Blood.

GunXSword? You know, that show with the dude that looks like Spike from Cowboy Bebop, and the girls in the skin-tight suits? It has robots in it? It's a lot less than the sum of its parts, but is perfectly enjoyable in your standardly dumb, things-go-explode sort of way? You know what I mean.
