That would be good

No... another niche channel that I think would be better served via Hulu or something.

 

[fuzzfacefrombboard]

Big YES!

 

[Mojo Jojo]

Yes! Most def.!

HMJ!

Not necessarily my cup of tea, unless they show some in the original Japanese language with English subtitles. (I can't stand the horrible English-language voice actors on most of them, even the big names Disney uses for the Miyazaki stuff.)

But, anime is certainly hot enough with the public, especially the demographic advertisers are wet for, that it would probably make a good addition to the Dish lineup.

Absolutely! I'd like that.

I think YuYu Hakusho is good in both English and Japanese. Probably one of the few exceptions...

Is this even a full time channel?

For me I would rather have Fearnet over this, I am not into Japanamation at all.

I would rather have FearNet too, but I would take this for now. I go through phases with anime, but am always on the lookout for cool shows. The wife and I just started The Count of Monte Cristo series this week. Pretty good stuff. And yes, it is a 24/7 channel. Looking at their schedule, they show a good mix of shows across the age/taste spectrum. Though there is no hentai... LOL!

 

[DustoMan]

Isn't their stuff already in the on-demand area? They don't have a linear channel from what I recall.

EDIT:No wait, they do have a channel. I can't keep track of these companies anymore. For awhile there, they weren't pushing it and focusing instead on downloads and on-demand content.
