i got a few idea they probably all suck but if your only using pioneer anime might i also sugest some of the tenchi movies n' stuff.

-anime block
-club de la anime
-here's some anime for people who like good shows
-shrine time (anime hour)
- pioneer's of anime

yeah thinking about it those are bad but there the best i got for right now i'll put it on the back burner and mabye come up with some better ones.

-Ideally, BOTH, although, of course, I want people who have not seen much, if any, anime to watch them and go "Damn. Where can I find more of this.", or even "...This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. My life is now complete."

Uncharacteristically optimistic of me, ain't it? ^_^

Of course, what I want to do is show subs instead of dubs, so as far as attracting new people to the world of anime goes...

-Actually, it is a coincidence that both are under Pioneer. The completed series that I have on DVD to choose from are Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Serial Experiments Lain, Record of Lodoss War, and the Tenchi Muyo OAV (must...expand... anime... collection!!). The rest are either movies, parts of the series, or short OAVs.

I don't want to show just part of a series, so that cuts Niea_7, Saber Marionette J, Excel Saga, and Hellsing. I also wanted something that would last beyond one or two weeks, so I nixed the shorter OAVs I have, like Angel Sanctuary and Bastard. I also did not want to show something that is on Cartoon Network, because (1) they can go to Cartoon Network for that, and (2) the company may not allow it since it is contracted to Cartoon Network anyway. Which left me with Trigun, Eva, Lain, and Lodoss War.

Now, I definitely wanted to show Lain, because I love the series to death and I think it is so radically different from anything else that it just has to be shown. I decided to complement it with a different series to give the viewers some variety, and because Lain is not for everyone by any stretch. I chose Trigun out of the other three because it offers a good balance and repreive to the psychological intensity of Lain.

The fact that both are under Pioneer's wings is utter coincidence.

And... this is a very long reply. ^_^

My last suggestion is a winner!

Well, the reason I asked about who you were targeting was just that if you're trying to attract new viewers, "jargon"-like words not in the general lexicon, like "otaku", might turn them off.

I'm not that great at thinking up titles, but I just wanted to suggest that.

U should put AMV's in it that would give u 30min. blocks to and I like the "sit and talk about the eps. for 7 min thing"

the dark hour...
or..
the anime black hole...

thats all I got...sorry I stink at this stuff.
