Actually, there is a possibility that there may be a toonami channle in the works. I read tyhat up in an interview with Toonami and the reviewers of AnimeNewsNetwork. They said that it's gotten so popular that they may come up with something dedicated to anime, or at least action cartoons, primarily anime though. And there is a pitition for an anime channel on the net some where, and if not that, then an all asian channel where only asian and anime films would be shown. Unedited. Perhaps part of the Encore slot in place of Encore action Channel.
In an interview with Encore, they said that they saw the petition and were very interested in the idea af an all anime channel. And the popularity of anime has grown unbelievably for the last five years.
I'm not sure about this next fact, but one of my relitives told me that the most popular gift during christmas this year for teeneagers was anime!
So don't feel too bad about the shortage of anime. In some areas, you can see anime on pretty much every channel. At any thime of the day, it's easy to watch anime in places like Argentia and other poorer countries that can't make their own television, so they just dub japanimation and American television, like friends, and sinfield.
I'm sure that sooner or later, anime will show up more on public television. It's just a matter of time.
But don't hold anything I said on here againsed me. This is only stuff I read up on the internet at popular anime sites.
And if you'd like to see the petition, here it is.
