I'd never argue that point and it's a good one. As long as some quality form of showcasing anime came to Canada I'd be happy. Right now VOD is better than nothing.

Unless you REALLY can't get enough of Dragon Ball. Confused

I still would've rather seen ADV cosolidating all of their shows into a rotating block like they do in the UK, and then farm it out to stations like Space. I think that's a much better way for them to promote their products.


hell yeah! much easier to get new viewers if it will be on a station they already have.

There's plenty of good non-anime programming on Teletoon, like The Untalkative Bunny, one of my favourite cartoon series from anywhere in the world.

And there's far worse things you can watch on YTV than Pokémon... repetitive but cute.

I pretty much fell out of Pokemon when they FINALLY got to Cinnebar, and stopped caring entirely by the time Togepi came along. Did they ever even find out what was so special about Pikachu, anyway?

At least YTV has Inu-Yasha and could potentially get more stuff (hopefully Gundam SEED) this year. Now that their contract has been renegotiated, Teletoon CAN air anime without trouble, but I'm still a little skeptical about them actually doing so. They still seem to be convinced that it's far too niche to bother with.

I know I keep saying this, but YTV could get Stars licensed if they wanted it. The problem is... they don't.

Is Untalkative Bunny on anymore? I can't remember the last time I saw it.

Untalkative Bunny is on weekends at 12:30 p.m., and weekdays at 3:30 a.m. I watch the 3:30 a.m. airings.

I think they'll put it back on in a better slot on weekdays when Dynomight Cartoon does season 4.

Uhh, I'm going to assume that was sarcastic in some way?
