I know there is a network that exists that shows nothing but anime. Sadly most satellite or cable people have no clue as to what it is.
Maybe it should pull a G4 and Tech TV merger thing with Cartoon Network or some other station. that'd be interesting. Either way, I think awareness should be raised so the @$( cable and satellite people pick it up!! I want it!!

From what I've heard (from people who have it) it plays only dubbed anime, and only one or two new episodes a week (meaning you see the same one or two episodes a lot during the week before they switch to newer episodes). I've also heard that in some places it's a pay-per-view type of channel, not a regular channel. Guess it depends on where you live and who your cable provider is.
Overall, the concensious (sp?) is that it's not worth it. It's better to just go out and rent/buy anime than to watch a channel like this.

I suppose so. Although if it were a full fledged channel, that played 20 different anime shows on a daily basis or like cartoon Network does, show some tamer ones duing the day and more serious ones at night or whatever. It'd be pretty good.

I'm not sure how many they play, and I never thought to ask the people when I was talking to them about it. I just know that they were disappointed with it.
If I were to make an anime channel, I'd want to preserve anime the best I could short of airing it in raw Japanese--that means I'd use subtitled anime. Most anime dubbing companies (excluding 4kids, because they suck) keep a subtitled version of the anime they've dubbed, so I don't understand why a station such as the anime network couldn't just get the rights to air the subbed versions. Blah. Most dubs aren't worth watching. There's a few rare exceptions (like Trigun or Cowboy Bebop) but the majority of the dubs suck beyond compare (*cough* Yu-gi-oh! anyone? *cough*).
Oh well.
