So what's this anime network? What do you have (comcast, att&t, satellite? is it just called 'the anime network'?) If I have it I'd definitely check it out (I don't watch TV very much so I'm not sure what the hell I have... other than we just changed to ATT&T so I'm still figuring out all the channels).
I have Cablevision's IO digital cable, and they carry Animé Network (heretofore referred to as AN) as part of their On Demand service. You can start any episode that is available, at any time. I've had AN since December, and have been posting the shows I've seen on it, starting from page 9 of this thread.
http://www.excelsagaforum.com/index.php?topic=676.msg35984#msg35984AN is owned by ADV, y'know, that company that puts out all kinds of anime and even publishes manga. The deal is, they have categories, such as 'Action Zone', 'Giant Robots', 'Girl Power', 'Super Happy Fun Time'... As an example, I watched Magikano, Best Student Council, and Kanon on their 'Girl Power' list, Coyote Ragtime Show and Kino's Journey on 'Action Zone'.
The thing is, they update the list once a week, removing a few of the older episodes, and replacing them with newer ones. I went on vacation for two weeks, and all of a sudden Best Student Council is
gone, but a whole bunch of other shows were put up. I really don't understand how they pick what they do. Before I left, Moonlight Mile and Project Blue: Earth S.O.S. were up, but that may have been a marketing ploy by ADV to get me interested enough to buy the DVD's that they are releasing
now. I was into Venus Versus Virus, too, but they also stopped that, perhaps realizing they were selling the DVD's at the same time, or I may have just missed the finalé.
I watch it often, as I can't find anything interesting on TV. Plus, that's how I discovered Elfen Lied and Kanon, both of which I purchased on DVD.
I really miss Best Student Council...
Don;t look at me, I don't have anything but network, and that's fuzzy.
Watching Sorcerer Hunters now. I had heard of it long ago when I was looking for more fantasy/comedy series, but never been able to find it. Yesterday I poked around the used-video store and they had the complete four-disc set for $17, so, in spite of already having blown way more anime money this month than I really could afford, I splurged.
Not quite my cup o tea so far, I'm afraid.
I first saw the sequel, Spell Wars: Sorcerer Hunters Revenge on VHS, well over ten years ago (one of the first animé
series I've seen). I liked it then. The first Sorcerer Hunters series is OK, but not great, and tamer then the three episode OVA series, which I saw on AN. I like the manga much better.
