I'm laughing that Conan is making his point, but people ignore him xD (I am a heartless moron to point that out)
I think it's due to the fact that 1 episode a day is too fast for them. But like you said, they (the anime fans you called 'spoilt') want more. They can't be bothered waiting and just dive into the fansubs. But when it comes to the newbies, they try to catch up, it was too fast and basically gived up. I'm guessing they gived up the channel before xmas and never bothered to find out the new shows they were going to air in the new year.
I believe 1 episode a day was too fast for me. But I managed to watch all of GITS 1st gig and Witch Hunter Robin without any trouble (mostly because I was interested in them both).
I think that if it was better scheduled, with an ep or two per week, it would've stand a better chance. Not everyone have Sky+ and I'm guessing people are scrunching and saving to pay the bill on Sky for the other channels.
I gave up on AC once I finished watching WHR. Nothing interest me after that... But I'm just fussy about anime. In reality, I don't watch even many fansubs at all, and the ones I watched I'm collecting now.
I have great respect for the people 'who' brought anime central. But if Sony wants to bring Animax here, then they should try a different approach. I hope their 'Video on Demand' service does that.
