http://www.scifi.com/anime/ Last Monday was the premiere of Sci-Fi Channel's ANI-MONDAY with Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society. Tonight's lineup is: 11/10C = NOEIN "Blue Snow" 11:30/10:30C = Tokko "Awakening" 12/11C = Macross Plus, Part 1
Aw man, if only my dad wouldn't commandeer the TV... Not to mention mom has to teach. I sure would love to watch some Macross, though!
I knew I shouldn't have started Macross Plus tonight. I'm going to be tempted to put the second DVD in after the first part ends tonight and I should be finising up a frakking research paper.
What was the name of the second anime series that they played? I mean the one that came after Noein and before Macross plus.
Aah... Sci-Fi's ol' "Saturday Anime" moves to Mondays? Good to see Sci-Fi gettin back to playing Japanese animation; now if only they can start playing cartoons again in the early morning hours(when I'm usually up working) again. Kinda missed it when they played Transformers, Bionic Six, StarWars: Droids, and that one show Terrahawks. MAN. I missed watching Sci-Fi before school and on Saturdays... but yeah. XD Glad to hear that they're playing Japanimation(YEAH! I'm old) again! I'll have to check it out : D! Maybe they'll play some of the classics they usually played? Or do they just play series? I'd love to see them play 8-Man After, "Casshan", the original Vampire Hunter D, or Robot Carnival; even the old Tenchi Muyo movies or Iria would rock it : D! (I'm just not a big fan of a lot of the new movies/series coming out of Japan at the moment).
I just hope the "genius" behind Adult Swim's current line up of garbage doesn't get a job at Sci-fi and start running bumpers like: We hate this anime crap, but we are playing it for you. Attention Cartoon Network idiots: I started watching your network at night because of anime! oops, was that a rant?
yeah, I always thought that was odd, especially since they used to show anime almost exclusively on the channel everynight. You would think they'd show a little respect to the medium that kept people interested in the channel before they had their own original programming and FOX's left-overs.
Tonight's lineup is: 11/10C = NOEIN "Runaway" 11:30/10:30C = Tokko "A Girl Appears" 12/11C = Macross Plus, Part 2
Heh. Just got done watching this actually. Noien: Don't really care for it. Tokko: Pretty freakin' cool. Macross Plus: Been a while since I've seen the dub. It's a good dub, but this remains the only case where I prefer the original Japanese. The voices just fit the chars better IMO. In either case, it's still a great story. Also from the clips they show in their commericals, it's looks like they got some really good stuff coming our way. ROD FTW!
Amen. Richard Epcar = BADASS I really wish they'd release a dub of the second GitS movie so he can play Batou one last time.
Good to see Scifi go back a bit to what help make it what it is (Still like to see another anime movie week though)
