Yes, that's true. Way back in '95 when I first saw the dub version of Sailormoon on VHS, I became addicted to it. Around 97' they started airing the rest of the episodes on TV (I forgot what channel, can anyone help me out? I'm not sure if it's CN...) but since anime wasn't very popular back then, they stopped. Plus, I went online around '98 and found out that they quit early because they didn't want to just air all of the sagas except the part when Haruka(?) and Michiru came in. I was pretty upset about that and that's probably when my craze for it died.

Same reason why they edited Escaflowne so badly on Fox, because they thought it was too femenin for good ratings. It's pretty stupid, but that's how they get the ratings i guess.

Well, if that's what you say the real reason is, then it's probably because most percent of the American audiences enjoy watching action than shoujo. That's why good animes which are a bit on the shoujo side will never be popular in the US. I think that Sailormoon is probably the "girliest" anime they've ever shown on TV.

But Cartoon Network as potetial still. They will have .HACK//sign and Trigun and another show airng on the adult swim soon, and they plan to get more adult shows, and are hopefully awaiting for a chance to fill in another hour slot in the week for more anime. With new, better titles on their way, and more scedrules for airing times popping up, it will be better.

I've heard about it too and I'm happy they're planning on airing .HACK//sign. I've been wanting to see this series ever since I saw the preview of it in a magazine around 2000/2001.
