ADV Confirms Cable Anime Channel

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wouldn't-it-be-nice dept.

Juanvaldes writes "ADV Films has confirmed reports that they are working to create a cable television channel dedicated to Anime. Currently they are releasing very few details about the channel itself. All that has been publicized at this time is that the channel will run 24 hours a day and will break its content into four categories, Action Zone, Sci-Fi, Comedy Incorrect, and Horror/Martial Arts." Hope I can get access to this one as soon as it comes out.

    Hundreds of geeks have been confirmed missing. The last statement heard was "Anime channel you say?"

    I think they need two channels... one in original Japanese + subtitles, and one in crummy dubbed format. Otherwise there's gonna be riots and killing in the streets, meteors will fall from the sky, Linux will finally replace Windows on the desktop, and other crazy stuff. Mostly by my hand.

  3. Ah, anime... by Ron+Harwood · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...it's one of those things you can guage how truly geeky a person is...

    Score points for:

    1. They watch anime.
    2. They correct you if you call it something other than their preffered name (japanimation, manga, whatever)
    3. Two words: "Anime Hentai"... (score triple points on this one - add one to that if they try to correct my usage of the words in this question)
    4. They learned japanese so they could watch original anime without dubbing or subtitles.

      ...it's one of those things you can guage how truly american a person is...

      Score points for:

      1. They only speak english.
      2. They assume watching the Japanese equivalent of Powerpuff Girls when they are pushing 40 is "cool" and "alternative".
      3. Two words: Morbidly Obese (score triple points if they say they are on a low-carb diet)
      4. They assume that a person who admits to watching anime is geeky when statistically it is much more likely that they are japanese.
