Lots of Anime during the New Years!

Animé-nia

Luckily I live in Canada, so I get YTV. So much anime...

And they'll finally be showing some more Escaflowne and Gundam Wing.

Yes, this channel does show anime, but it's mostly dumbed down for younger viewers.

You know, the edits and all that. But it's anime, and I don't have to go out and buy it in order to watch it.

Yes, and unlike FOX, Escaflowne isn't edited to nothing on YTV. The YTV version has all the music still there, and it has all 26 episodes, too. I can't wait to see some more Gundam Wing. I love that show, and I missed the episodes; I need to buy some episodes on DVD.

Oh, so true! Even on Ebay, they are expensive. But, I really want that boxed set, too.

He-man rocks.

I'm in the UK, so we used to get Toonami, now we get a new Cartoon Network Channel CNX, with Bebop, Outlaw Star and the like. Otherwise its either Evangelion, Martian Successor Nadesico and a random Anime movie once a week on Sci Fi, or 'Beyblade' and other such similar calibur anime's on Fox Kids.

I went to Future Shop taday, and they had all these new DVD box sets. About 219.99 for the 10 DVD set of GW, 249.99 for the 8 DVD set of Escaflowne (with the Black Escaflowne figure)... Talk about giving an arm and a leg.

He-man? There's limits even to nostalgia. Now Thunder Cats was a show that still rocks.

Also Transformers Armada is awful, worse even than Robots in Disguise. The comic version is much better in terms of quality and writing *damns Hasbro again for their liscencing evils and hopes alternative sources can sson be found*

~hates you as much as possible for that comment~

You're getting a thorough kicking next term. With such lines as 'By the power of Grayskull!' and quality animation (

) like this:

Who can not love He-man?
