Making this arguably the biggest ever Christmas period for anime on UK TV, <a href="http://www.rockworld.tv/26th-December-2007.html">RockWorld TV</a> has joined <a href="http://forums.animeuknews.net/viewtopic.php?t=8229">Anime Central</a>, <a href="http://forums.animeuknews.net/viewtopic.php?t=8198">Film4 and Channel 4</a> in broadcasting notable amounts of Japanese animation over the latter half of December. Specifically, they have chosen Boxing Day (26th December) to air marathons of DNAngel and Divergence Eve, beginning at 10am and (in between other RockWorld shows) finishing at 11:30pm.

Thanks to T Born for informing us of this news.

Yeah, this is indeed a good time for anime on UK TV. My Neighbour Totoro was on today around 4 PM on Film4, which was great!

Film4 has been showing an extraordinary amount of Anime. There was a period that I mostly missed where they were frequently showing many Ghibli and similar titles in the original language. Managed to catch most of Nausicaa but that was one of the last they were showing in the week and it was poorly advertised.

Yep, hopefully we get that AKIRA showing which is due about now. Almost 20 years since it opened ain't that some sort of mile stone it's still refrenced in pop culture now.

It wouldn't entirely suprise me if there wasn't some sort of anime season next year on channel 4 or sci fi.
