So I'm currently watching Ninja Scroll on Ani-Monday on the Sci-Fi channel, and I'm seeing ads for anime on Tuesday. It appears that the Sci-Fi channel is now playing anime every Tuesday at 11 pm PST. It looks like they're sticking to movies for Tuesdays nights. So far, I'm seeing R.O.D. for tomorrow night, Appleseed the next week, Kai Doh Maru the week after, and X after that.

I was afraid that Ani-Mondays might not be that popular, but apparently that's not the case, if they're extending anime to other days as well. I'm glad to see more and more stations willing to play anime. I only wished that Comcast would give me AZN back!!!

It's also nice to have movies being played on a regular basis. I kinda wish more movies were broadcast regularly.

Yeah I'm definitely going to watch except ROD cause it was shown on AS a while back.

Anime on Tuesday is only on Feb though.

Great 5 shows that have already been shown on [as] and Encore.
Don't get too excited about it because it's only for 1 month.

I guess I just missed it. I don't think I was checking the news and the talkback section on regularly back then.

It must have been a long time ago that any of these were played on [as], because I don't remember any of these being played in at least the last 4 years or so.

R.O.D. played on [as] a little over 3 years ago. The rest have played on Encore.

I remember seeing R.O.D. on TechTv's anime thing, I can not remember it's name though. Although it was not the movie so maybe I am thinking of something else.

I had not even known about the monday showings, guess I need to watch more sci-fi.

The TV series showed on G4. The OAV showed on [as].

Anyone else hearing really, really bad audio as R.O.D is airing?

UPDATE: Well, is sounds fine now, after a few minutes. Weird.

Yeah, I heard that too. Good thing they fixed it early on because that noise was seriously making it unwatchable. I've experienced things like that before where its not fixed Mad

Looks like the SciFi channel was able to get me to watch their channel again after about a decade of avoiding it. Wink

OH god, yes!

It was so annoying, I thought it was the beesthat showed up later on... but I was seriously about to change the channel.

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing Kai Doh Maru, it sounds interesting despite the mixed reviews. The other stuff on Tuesdays I've seen. Might watch X again, haven't seen it since I bought it on VHS years ago.

Well why? SciFi has had some really great live action shows for the past few years. I mean, come on, they've got Dr. Who?!

I'm looking forward to Kai Doh Maru as well. It's the only one of them that I haven't seen. I decided not to watch R.O.D. because I watched it again only about 3 weeks ago. Hopefully, if they do this again, they will play movies that are maybe alittle less mainstream.

Does anyone have any rumors or guesses to what will be airing next on Ani-Monday? Tactics was good and since it finished off they've been playing reruns of Tokko and Noein. The schedule has a TBD for June 23rd and going forward.

Scoop anyone??
