Is Dish going to get the Funimation Channel?

 

[BFG]

WTF is that?

 

[tawhite]

That's what I was thinking.

 

[lakebum431]

Does this channel even exist?

funimation channel?

Okay I did some research and found it http://www.funimationchannel.com/ Dish probably won't since no one really even knows about this channel.

I never heard of it before, so I checked out your link. It's all Japanese anime! I don't personally watch anime, but my daughter would love it (when she's home from college)!

I don't know anything about the FUNimation channels, but Rainbow Media has licenced the following for broadcast on their IFC and VOOM Animania HD channels:

http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=46460&highlight=voom+anime

Rainbow Media has acquired Japanese digital anime action/adventure series Samurai 7 (26 x 30min.) and will air the series on two of its outlets, IFC and VOOM HD Network's channel Animania HD. Samurai 7 is based on filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's classic movie The Seven Samurai made in 1954. However, this version is set in the future and adds a sci-fi twist. Animania HD will host the US HD premiere of Samurai 7 on Wednesday, March 1, 2006 at 9p. It will then be followed by the series broadcast debut as part of IFC's weekly movie event, Samurai Saturdays featuring Asian martial-arts-themed movies, on March 19, 2006 at 1130p. While Animania HD airs cartoons targeted to all ages, Samurai 7 is targeted to teens/young adults P16-24. The Samurai 7 series was licensed by FUNimation Entertainment, co-produced by Japanese anime studio Gonzo Digimation in partnership with Media International Corporation, and directed by Toshifumi Takizawa. VOOM HD Networks is a package of HDTV channels from Rainbow Media that include movies, sports, music, travel, fashion, arts, cartoons, and news, which are currently available to subscribers of DISH Network.

I'd love them to add it and The Anime Network, but since they're niche channels, I doubt we'll see them on DISH any time soon.

 

[Poke]

Yeah between the two http://www.theanimenetwork.com/ is the best one and would like to see it added.

 

[dougruss]

Sure......I would like to see them add it !! Then add axtra $5 to $10.00/mo charge to my Bill !.................NOT !!!!

 

[jollygrunt]

Given the chance, I wouldn't mind paying up to $25/month for both a-la-carte. :up
