I live in the uk and anime is not is big as i would like it to be, hardly any channels on tv show the movies or even anime series. i would like to see anime movies on the big screen, and have at least 1 channel devoted to the subject. Or could i be wrong :?: Is there something am missing :?:

Hmmm. I'm pretty sure anime would eventually enter the UK market massively soon.

It seems the best we brits can do is check our local HMVs or maybe import some DVDs. I remember when our Toonami channel played the likes of Gundam Wing, the Tenchi series and Outlaw Star. Now it only the Dragonball trilogy, Transformers Energon and old Pokémon.

yeah you are right . sometimes hmv can have some gd anime and forbiden planet, but it is never there for very long. Toonami? that channel is all dragonball and am not really into that. i would love a "pure" anime channel ,that had varity ,on sky or something, that would be so...... :shock:

That's a bit too early for my liking.

Would this be helpful?

I was looking for the dish channel that is a pay one that shows only Anime. I can't get it here yet, it's mostly on the east coast of the US. I'm on the 'left' coast.

As for my dish, I have watched many on the Action Channel of Dish Network, on the TechTV which is what now, G4tv?... and of course, Cartoon network's Adult Swim. I get Netflix too, 3 at a time.. we are working on the 22 disk Ruroni Kenshien series now. Up to disc 6 so far.

I live in the Uk, too they had a thing on Sci-fi not long ago, ever watched that? and I know cable ain't so great anymore, for anime, kinda crud. But Sci-fi did this thing, witch showed tones of anime, Evangelion, Nadsico, Blue gender, Gaseraki, Bubble gum crisis 2040, and some awesome moives too, if ya missed all that tis a shame, coz I don't think they are doing it any more, if they are it's on at like 5-6 am in the morning ^^
