Want Anime Network on Your Cable System?

ccnull writes "The Anime Network has launched a "tell your cable company to carry this station!" campaign on its web site. Just enter your ZIP code at the top of the site's home page (it looks like a banner ad) and you'll be that much closer to Samurai X 24/7. In case you hadn't heard, the network launched in late 2002." No support via DirecTV. I filled out the form already- I crave this channel.

    I had thought of an amazing, elaborate rant where I would scream "who gives a fuck about anime and manga, this is a geek site - just cause Taco thinks anime is cool does not make it so".

    Then I remembered I can block anime stories in my preferences. AND, as a bonus, I can take advantage of this diversion and block michael's "stories". Come to think of it, he's my enemy now. Nothing to do with this story, just thought I'd do it, you know, while I'm there.

    I'd like to thank Cmdr Taco for posting this non-news and making me do something about the amount of crap "news" making their way to slashdot's front page. THANK YOU TACO!

    Sorry not gonna buy into this - 1 reason DUBBED

    Maybe i'm a snob, maybe I just have a thing against nails grinding on a chaulkboard - but I can not stand dubbs of anime. English voice actors (for the 99% most part) are TERRIBLE and make the anime totally unwatchable for me. If they were to offer the anime subtitled however - then I would be willing to support them - until then - they can burn in hell for all I care.

    Of all the stuff that gets exported to the rest of the world from Japan, Anime has to be the very worst. I find it so amazing that such absolute crap is produced by a culture so rich and sophisticated. Here this: Anime is CRAP. I cannot understand how anyone with even a scintilla of intelligence can bear to watch such boring, poorly written drivel.
