But uh, traditional seasons are 26 episodes or so. You can't continuously run a series for 52 weeks in a row... even Pokemon takes a breather once in a while here in the states. |

Thank you, Brian and Zac, for putting this column together week after week. It's really convenient to have this one list with all the anime, so I don't have to try and track down when all these shows are on. Plus, I never would have known that a lot of these shows are even on TV, because I generally never bother to check out the movie channels like Showtime Beyond and Encore Action. So thanks!
Just in case anyone else was curious, Submarine 707 Revolution is on Encore Action.
While it's true that traditional seasons are around 26 episodes, I think splitting the longer series up for the US TV showings really does hurt the ratings. In the case of FMA, I had never seen it before and by episode 26 I was really getting into it. Then, having that break just sort of took away some of that interest in it. Plus, it made the overall story less cohesive. The same thing has happened with Inu Yasha on AS (which, admittedly, would be ridiculous to show without having a break every now and then). But the way the schedule has constantly moved around, in my opinion, has lessened the number of people who tune in to watch. As far as fansubbing having a negative impact on the number of TV viewers for a particular show, I think it does. Perhaps not significantly, but I'm sure there are many people who won't watch a show on TV because they've already seen it via fansubs. In regards to Bleach, I'd imagine that the die-hard fans of the show and the people who prefer dubs over subs will probably tune in every week to watch it. It's the people who think the show is average or just okay who will probably only watch the first week. Of course, that's providing the dub is good, which I expect it will be. If it's not, then the die-hard Bleach fans will probably abandon the TV airings as well. |

Naw-aw. This is the fifth to last ep of Yu-Gi-Oh, & the final duel of the series. Sure there's still GX that comes afterwards, but that has next-to-nothing to do with the original series. & the Ceremonial Duel (the last duel that's coming up) was how the manga series ended. It really is final. |

You really should believe that quote you know. Even if the manga ended it's not much to them, it's one of their most popular shows I'd be willing to bet. Afterall, what did they already do to it?
