Anime Insight Cable has no anime!

[foolycooly6363]

i long to see more anime than just what ends up falling into cartoon network's lap, but Insight digital Cable doesn't offer the anime network, not even if i buy an extra package. WHY IS THAT. i'll spend the extra money to get what i want. So if anyone can pull some strings or some thing i'd really like it thanks.

Relax. Hardly anyone has Anime Network. Everything they show is on DVD. And a lot of it isn't even good. For every Neon Genesis Evangelion or Azumanga Daioh or some show with any brilliance whatsoever you have five Happy Lessons or Gravions AKA shows that have terrible plotting and style and the only way to enjoy them is to laugh at the rediculous cliches. Besides, Adult Swim's Holy Trinity of Fullmetal Alchemist, Paranoia Agent, and Samurai Champloo (you can add in Stand Alone Complex to make a quartet) beats even the best shows on Anime Network. Also, you can also find anime on G4TechTV and Starz if you need more and can't afford a good set of DVDs.

Although I have to agree that reluctance to show Anime Network is stupid. Although if they would give some outlet (AS possibly, but HBO might be an even better option for maximum mainstream notice) one run of EVA and then take back the rights before the other outlet could do a second run, it might cause just enough controversy for EVA to actually be a way to sell to the stations instead of a just a way to look good on paper to the fans who don't get it.

He's right, even though i must say Adult Swim has a good line up nothing else is carried. Those greedy ******** at the digital cable company want extra money for G4 then you'd have to pay even more for an extra box up to your room (if you live with your parents). A real problem is that local libraries don't carry enough anime. For people who can't afford to go out and buy every anime DVD they want to see libraries are the only option. I've visited a few different libraries around me and in different states, each had a marginal supply of anime. TV is great but you can only get so many shows, if libraries had a big collection it would solve that problem.

If anyone is looking for a business idea an online anime library would be perfect. you could type in your billing address and name and have anime mailed right to your door. it would solve the no anime in libraries problem, you wouldn't pay extra for cable channels, and you wouldn't have to go very far to pick up your anime. with a $10 entrance few for unlimited anime it would be a hit.

Until this happens the only solution if you really want the anime network is to get a lot of people sending e-mails and handwritten letters to the cable companies that don't carry it. We can keep chatting about it here, which is fine with me, but we still have the same problem until you take action.
