So I was looking through my Comcast menu yesteday cause I was bored and I saw this thing called On Demand so I clicked it thinking it would take me to a page where I could order movies, and to my suprise there was free movies to watch. Not only that but because it was On Demand I could watch the movies when I wanted and I could pause FF and Rewind live television. This was really awesome....then I saw this "folder" of sorts called "Cutting Edge" when I selected that I saw Anime Network and Anime Selects. And inside these "folders" was endless anime On Demad. I sarted breathing heavily not knowing what to watch first....

Action/Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Giant Robots, Viewer Favorites, Happy Fun Time (Yup that was a folder)

So basically I now have access to an endless supply of Anime On Demand....and who knows how long Ive had it.

I saw the OVA for Puni Puni Poemy last night, from the creators od Excel Saga (just as insane). Also from the top of my head I know I have access to Chobits, Azumangadaioh, Evangelion, DNA, and whole lot of other ones that I havent gotten around to even looking at yet.

The only thing I dislike about it is that it's just like Pay Per View. You're paying to watch each of those shows.

And they're not in my area.

I've heard of some other anime channel possibly coming to the states recently though, I can't recall anything other than that though.

Yeah, On Demand isn't free. Its just with Digital Cable, you order directly through the remote. Every time you've chosen to watch something On Demand, its cost you money. Hope you're not still living at home, or your parents will probably be pissed.

..........
But while it didnt give me a price or order code or anything. When I picked some movies it said like $5 and then if you pick watch it says put in the code, but with the stuff I watched it just said watch and that was it...I guess I better not watch anymore to be on the safe side.......

Ouch. As long as you didn't watch anything dirty ... you're probably fine.

Then again, ouch.

Just hold off until the next bill comes. Then you'll know to continue or not.

Oh shit. That's sick ass.

Nowadays, I wish the CRTC would just bugger off with content filtering. Given that they've allowed FOX "news" and Al-Jazeera English into Canada...Why don't they allow anime networks?

Theres still hope for you guys....Anime Network is an actual channel but not many Cable providers offer it. I bet if all us Anime fans fill out the simple request form online we will get much closer to having it, even Id like to have my Anime Scheduled.

http://www.theanimenetwork.com/index.php

Just click that giant pic at the bottom and request it. Oh and lets all help each other out, those of you who have multiply E-Mail accounts make requests for multiple cable providers. Ive done it for Comcast and DirecTv already.

Oh I forgot to mention....all the anime is uncut! Even better for some of you, they are introducing a block of anime that isnt even dubbed. So you can watch it in its Japanese entirety with Subtitles.

I know there's some on demand services/programs which are free. Other services are selective - you might have X number of shows which are free and Y number which aren't.

It's always best to check first so that you don't get drilled with a heavy cable bill, though.

Trust me, I've "demanded" it more than several times.

I think we might get it with Everest (anyone heard of them possibly?)

Well again, I'm pretty sure recently I did hear of another possible anime channel that the states might be getting, but still that's all I can recall.

Sion. You suck.

Yes....suck like a fox!!

Last night I watched MegaZone23 Part1, Jubei-Chan, Earth Maiden Arjuna, Steel Angel Kurumi, and Wandaba Style. Theres still so much to watch too.....*drools*

Exept for Jubie-Chan, all those were awesome. Especially Arjuna, thats my highest recommendation so far.

The only thing I dislike about Steel Angel is that the episodes are only 15 minutes long. =\

Yeah i was kinda freaked out by that, and after watching only the first episode I really have no clue whats going on in that show.

I only have access to 2 episodes of Arjuna right now, and its such a great anime that I was thinking about buying it (13 episodes) I can get all 13 for like 13 dollars....thats like a dollar an episode. Score! Unless I could DL it somehow...Hmmm

Edit----
I just bought the entire series from Amazon for 22 bucks with 2 day shipping. Its still worth it, if you saw just one episode of this series youd know why.

http://www.theanimenetwork.com/schedVOD.php?vodViewID=3
That link shows all the anime that I have access to up to March 16.
