Moribito was the only show I was watching on AS. I guess all I can do now is wait for the dvds.

I am really saddened by this. I don't watch TV, but the fact that no one else can enjoy it on TV is saddening. And I'm concerned by the fact that no DVDs are listed past vol. 3.
As for Moribito being "slow" and "boring"--mein Gott, what is WRONG with you? Not every show is supposed to be like Naruto or whatever other same old same old shonen is out there. Moribito is FAR from boring OR slow. Yes, it is dialogue heavy. However, if you LISTEN to what's being said, it's far from slow OR boring. This is good stuff, and it's sad that many of you are too blind to see that. |

Moribito is only slow if you have a short attention span. sure, it's not ac action-packed as something like Bleach, but it's got a more intelligent plot even than Death Note (which I've seen many an AS watcher laud as something highly intellectual).
I'd just like to hear SOMETHING solid here about why it's off AS and why there's no DVDs listed past the 3rd. |

I think I'm gonna cry.
At least I still have Kurokami... the magical show no one can spoil for me. |

I may have to console myself with the fact I'm at least going to get to read the second novel in the Moribito series in English... *sigh*

If that were true, Gurren Lagann wouldn't have aired on it. |

With regard to Gurren Lagaan, I think Bandai had to give Manga Entertainment the digital distribution rights in order to get it as well as Gundam 00 aired. Which is not something I think too many companies are willing to do just to get their show on the air, otherwise I think more companies would be fighting for a spot in that two hour weekly block.

While I don't mind losing this show, the timing irks me.
Yes, and certainly better than more Inuyasha. |

The Ani-Mondays block on Sci-Fi is essentially a two-hour commercial for Manga Entertainment's library of titles. Manga (presumably) pays for the air-time (though the arrangement is likely more complex, as both Sci-Fi and Manga are owned by the same parent company), and in return, they get to fill it with whichever shows they choose. For the few series like Gurren-Lagann and Gundam 00 that weren't Manga properties, Manga sublicensed the TV broadcast rights from Bandai Entertainment, so in that respect they still technically qualify as Manga's properties.

And apparently Bandai is perfectly happy with the partnership judging by the convention appearances.
But that's all besides the point. The Ani-Monday block is beating Adult Swim where it counts, the shows. |

I was kinda got upset all arms about it, I found out that some problems with Dub, so I'm kinda P.O. myself about finding news between anime and whatever I can find to start the day up right, I need to keep that going, but back on issue, I hope this matter can be resolved in weeks to come, come to understand what was it all started between these kinds of issues, just wanting to know why? Hoping this wont go permanent.

And I, along with many Canadians who watch Anime on TV hope that the R1 companies are reluctant to make a deal with Manga [read as: The Devil]. Here's why:
You can read the full blog posthere. It talks about where Canada stands with Anime On Television. And how the end is very near.
With that I take it Bandai doesn't know the effect of thier deal with the devil for Canadians. Since they themselves were a driving force in getting anime on TV in Canada. |

Yeah, they have some sort of relationship like that. After an episode they would oftentimes advertise Gurren Lagann episodes that could be downloaded from Manga Entertainment, even though Bandai has the rights. Plus some of the Manga Entertainment DVDs I own have trailers for Bandai shows. I'm not totally sure of what they're relationship is, but there certainly seems to be one. |

...you're referring to the programming block that's aired such gems as Virus Buster Serge or Sword for Truth. [adult swim] at its very, very worst (which I'd probably classify as Trinity Blood) is still waaaaaay higher up the quality scale than some of the drek that Manga has deemed air-worthy. |
