Remember the days of anime on the SciFi Channel?

On June 11th, they'll show the movie Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society at 11 PM. And then on June 18th, they'll show:

11:00 PM NOEIN

11:30 PM TOKKO

12:00 AM MACROSS PLUS

Makes me wonder how it'll stand up against Adult Swim at the time. At least I get to check out Noein even though I heard it'll take a couple episodes before it gets "really good".

Hmm, I didn't really like Macross Plus when I first saw it, but I have heard that it is good, so maybe I was too rash in my first judgement on it.

I'll probably watch that at least.

I'll hold out until they stop showing fucking dubs on TV... eventually it'll be worth it to watch.

Chances of showing subtitled anime on cable TV is seriously nil; it won't bring in enough viewers.

Turner Movie Classics aired some Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli films a while back: Turner Classic Movies Spotlight Miyazaki. Each film was shown in English first, then later repeated in Japanese with English subtitles. Only Yesterday was shown both times in Japanese only since AFAIK there was no English dub at that time. (Where's the R1 DVD, Disney?

)

Yeah, but that channel targets a different audience group. I'm mostly talking about the more casual audience (and I bet there's some corporate advertising connection they have to adhere to).

At least Adult Swim runs 2X so I can watch Sci Fi and switch back to Adult Swim for the later reshowing.

I have never heard of first two and have seen very little of Macross Plus.

Ew, you still have cable? It's on a basic package on like any satellite provider if I recall.
