Well, I hear that the Anime Network is available to Rogers Digital Cable subscribers.


hmm doesn't look like it, maybe DirecTV...not sure if we get that, only other option on the AN site is Dish Network and I doubt we get that. Or the site could be outdated and rogers does get it.

What is there to edit? They always find something...But ANN gave the dub and the sub the same grade...so maybe it's not so bad? It's here if you wanna go read it.
Overall (dub) : B-
Overall (sub) : B-
Story : B
Animation : A
Art : A

Yeah AN is available via rogers on demand but it is a pay per view type thing. I would much rather have them make it one set amount say 10 bucks a month or something. Also the selection is not to great and only the first 4 episodes are available for most of the series or in some cases the first 2. I recommend renting instead, unless you watch the movies they are worth the money. If all this is true I cannot wait for SEED, .hack or Robin.

Renting can be hard, in some places it's rare to find anime series...but I've seen alot of anime at blockbuster lately, got a whole section when I checked last. But it might be better to either just wait for dubs or buy the dvds which are much easier to find (which have sub and dub in most cases)

I can't get through to my site to post it at the moment, but Witch Hunter Robin has been confirmed.

From an Anime Bulletin that became available today (you can get it by e-mailing YTV at [email protected] and asking about their new anime this fall):

WITCH HUNTER ROBIN (New!)
A growing threat faces humanity. A special team of 'Hunters' is assigned by the STN to stop it. With all odds against them, the team soon discovers that young Hunter Robin possess an inexplicable gift that may change the fate of all...

DON'T MISS the SERIES PREMIERE of WITCH HUNTER ROBIN airing Friday, September 10 at 10:30pm E/P!!


I'll look into the other titles shortly.

Does anyone know who this Ricky Ricardo guy is anyway? Or if there's a way to contact him? Please PM me if you do.

They edited the ending for starters in the CN version.

Don't worry, SEED is a completely different continuity and has no relation to any other previous show.


That's right. It just feels and acts like the Original MS Gundam. No, seriously.

And why is everyone hatin' on SD Gundam? Yes, it's campy; it's supposed to be that way, but the final ep has one heckuva fight.
