The most important question is where is sky going to plonk them in?
AnimeCentral; a new anime TV channel coming to the UK?
- Thread starter Paul
- Start date
I think the word WIN sums this up quite nicely.
It seems the channel isn't tied to a specific company, although Beez seem to have a lot of involvement, there's Revelation there with FMA, which gives hope to there being even more from both companies, and perhaps MVM/ADV/Manga.
I wonder what channel number this will get. I hope it's free-to-air/view as well, because I don't have Sky... only the box

I don't think it will show new stuff all the way to 6am, they will probably repeat the shedule.
I'd imagine 4 1/2 hours of new stuff, and then repeated. I'd like to see it take more shows as well, if it were to grow it should maybe branch out and try to wrestle the adult swim license from Bravo.

Same here. Great news, but I don't think the times are right - in fact, they're very bad. This is the problem, companies expect anime to do all the work for them, because it gets little advertising, small corners in shops and often bad time slots (like sci-fi's Neon Genesis and Excel Saga). If the times change, this could be GGGGRRRREEEEAAAAATTTTT (right Tony >.> ?).

Looking at how many shows have been listed this is what i'm also thinking.
I'm not overly impressed with the lineup either, ok some of them arn't bad and are worth a watch and Planetes is excellent, but on the whole it's all a bit. "Meh". :?
But I suppose it's a step in in the right direction and everything has to start somewhere, I can't help wishing this start could be a little stronger though. :?
Errm, I dunno why everyone complaining about the time (9pm - 6am).
Cause I don't see a problem with it (And I'm 15 and soon be back in school by the time this channel starts, and Do I complain).
Look, Between 7pm and 9pm, people will be taking over the TV for the Soaps since most household have like... 1 Sky box. Secondly, I don't see how Anime will air before 7pm uncut (unless they want to show Pokemon and edited DBZ)
So be greatful that we have a channel coming to the UK, and a time slot like that will be great for Teenagers (Like me) who wants to stay up and watching TV, and Uni Students (who will most likely study before 9pm).
Everyone should know that the biggest audience Anime is aimed at are Teenagers (13-18 ) and University Students

Agree with that, the demographic for viewers will most likely be the 14-24 group and I'd imagine they will look at a equal male/female split. As it's format, I don't know if the anime market could support a 24 hour channel however as I said they should maybe look at other options as well.
I have to admit, I actually keep it quiet I watch anime as I don't think I'm in the "anime fan stereotype" brackets. I like the Sopranos, cars, woman and Football as much as the next red blooded male but I've started to tell my friends I watch it and they are getting hooked as well. :lol:

Very good points, actually! ^_^
This whole thing is awesome. I really would not be surprised to see Bleach on as we're getting the anime from Manga near the end of the year, the games early next year. Bleach is doing what Naruto did last year. But all in all this is awesome. Its about damn time something like this came to the UK. Power to the anime fans!..... My only problem is it wil be the English dub versions that’s shown and for shows like Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist its not a problem but if they start showing something like Chobits dubbed I will bat them.
