Anime to return to Sci-Fi

[Roy Mustang]

what is virus Buster about

Info from ANN

Neo Hong Kong, 2097: The world has changed. Advances in genetic engineering and cybernetics have created an environment full of artificially enhanced humans and intelligent super-computers that operate using biological software. But the same technology that has allowed man & machine to merge has made both susceptible to a new kind of threat - digital viruses capable of controlling their hosts.

thanks man

[rocklobster]

Well, here's hoping it's better than Tokko.

[Blitzkrieg1701]

I'll second that

[Roy Mustang]

Well, here's hoping it's better than Tokko.

From the reviews that I found about virus Buster, its not that great at all.

Just about every review about the show says, the sub is bad, the dub is bad, art work is bad and the story is fair at best.

[mitsuki lover]

I will wait and see.I think Tokko has been pretty good myself,especially the ending of last week's episode.

[ADXC]

Yeah, Tokko is not that bad. I sorta like it more than Noein. Just because the story line is easier to follow in Tokko than in Noein.

But its weird though, that theres just one more Tokko episode and like 13 more episodes of Noein.

[mitsuki lover]

The only thing I didn't like about Noein to begin with was the art style.It took a bit to get used to.

[creed4]

yea, I can see that, but its starting to get good

[creed4]

Now that Tokko is ended what are they going to replace it with.

btw Tokko's ending while good, set itself up for more story, how do you think they are going to continue

[ADXC]

I think Virus Buster Serge is pretty good. Although sometimes Im not even sure what's going on, I do still enjoy it.

What do y'all think about it?

[creed4]

yea, but I think Raven should trust his men with what he knows more

[Roy Mustang]

What do y'all think about it?

The most nicest words that I can think of for the show is. I can't stand Virus Buster Serge.

I don't get the story and at times, it feels like you are missing something.

Dear Sci Fi Channel,

Please show Read or Die OVA. I know that I have seen it, but it would be something to bring the ratings up.

Thank you,

A mad fan, because they are not showing the stuff they said they would.

Refresh my memory--what did they promise to show?

[Roy Mustang]

Refresh my memory--what did they promise to show?

Ninja Scroll movie

Blood: The Last Vampire

Read or Die OVA

Black Jack The Movie, they will air this in Nov.

Street Fighter II V, aired it.

But two out of five is okay, but they could do better.

There is just one funny thing. Street Fighter II V must of not did well in the ratings, since they took it off about half away in the showing. But in late Nov. they are going to start airing Street Fighter Alpha Generations.

If the first one didn't work, I don't see this doing well.

Maybe they're hoping an OVA will do better raiting wise than an extended series. Seeing that they picked up Virus Buster Serge, they obviously aren't picking 'em baised on quality (this seriously is among the worst anime I've EVER seen on TV)

[mitsuki lover]

So far of the ones that have aired I think that personally I would want to add Tokko and Noein to my collection.Waiting to see what Black Jack is like before I make a decision there.Also because of Blood+ I would consider Blood:The Last Vampire.

Reign: The Conqueror anime still beats anything that has been called the worst anime put on TV . Come to think of it, it also gets #1 rank for worst anime ever made too.


The only thing like from what Sci Fi Channel was showing was Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society and Macross Plus OVA.

I'm more of a fan of the Ghost in the Shell: SAC then the Ghost in the Shell movies.

I'm a big Macross fan and I saw Macross Plus movie many years ago, but never saw the OVA. I just wish they would have showed the movie, its alot better then the OVA.

Street Fighter II V anime was okay and all, but Street Fighter II the movie beats the anime series out of the water.

I only watch Tokko and didn't care for the rest at all. I'm glad that I saw Tokko, because I would never go out and buy the dvds, since the end was sorry.

[color="Red"][font="Arial Narrow"]Col. Roy Mustang[/font][/color]

[ADXC]

I still think Tokko ended abrutly. Im actually getting into Noein now. I liked Street Fighter but as the episodes continued it seemed to get a little duller or is just more hard to follow, Im not sure.


Id rather watch Ghost in the shell than the movies.

I know that this isn't anime and that cartoon network show'd it a while back, but what if Sci-Fi showed Samurai Jack? I liked that show alot and its similar to a samurai anime.

[Roy Mustang]

I still think Tokko ended abrutly.

It did, and there doesn't look like any plans for any more eps in Japan. The manga for Tokko was only three volumes long.

I liked Street Fighter but as the episodes continued it seemed to get a little duller or is just more hard to follow, Im not sure.

I would have like to seen all of the Street Fighter II V, as much as I had some problems with it and just felt that the Street Fighter II the movie was better then this, even if I just saw half of this series.

I know that this isn't anime and that cartoon network show'd it a while back, but what if Sci-Fi showed Samurai Jack? I liked that show alot and its similar to a samurai anime.

Cartoon Network still has the broadcasting rights to series. They were showing it on Toonami Jetstream on Cartoon Network's web site, but that ended in Aug of this year with the last ep that was made. I don't seen Cartoon Network letting go of this show any time soon.

[mitsuki lover]

Samurai Jack isn't anime.Besides that Sci Fi is,as far as I know,only showing titles that belong to Starz.

[Roy Mustang]

Samurai Jack isn't anime.

Animedude90, knows that SJ is not anime. He even said this,

I know that this isn't anime and that cartoon network show'd it a while back, but what if Sci-Fi showed Samurai Jack?

He didn't know that CN still holds the rights to SJ and alot of people think they don't anymore.

as far as I know,only showing titles that belong to Starz.

Its really Manga Entertainment titles. Manga Entertainment is a subsidiary of Starz Media.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. Sci-fi Channel needs to get more than one company involved for this block.

[creed4]

ture, if they could get funimation or adv, this block could be alot better

[ADXC]

But that costs money, and the Sci-fi channel is not an anime channel. They are just widening the horizons with different types of shows, at least this is one of the reasons. And remember they just started Animonday back up in June. So who knows how many people actually watch animonday and even if animonday even exists. Also this station already has to deal with other new shows or old shows with new episodes that they have to show and this is their first priority.

Yeah if they could add Funi or ADV that would be awesome, but those are big companies who will have to be paid a bit to get the licensing. CN does or did have Funi animation but that was because this is a Cartoon network whose first priority is cartoons and anime falls somewhere in that category, its not much but still is something.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. Sci-fi Channel needs to get more than one company involved for this block.

This is something that I agree with and have felt the same way, since the block started.

That is very true. FUNimation has brought Cartoon Network a few hits to their network. So Cartoon Network would be more then happy to pay more for titles and the same goes for Viz's. I would say that Cartoon Network wouldn't mind getting some titles from ADV as much as EVA didn't do well on Adult Swim. But ADV likes to keep their stuff on their Anime Network and if they did want to put an anime title on basic cable TV, I would say that they would go to CN first, before Sci Fi Channel.

Now Bandai is another story. Bandai really wants to put their anime on TV, but I think Cartoon Network is staying away from them, but I could be wrong. But most of Bandai titles haven't done well on CN and were sent to the grave yard time slot. The only Bandai title that has did okay was Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

Now that Manga Entertainment is dealing with Sci Fi Channel, they could give Bandai a push in the door of Sci Fi Channel.

After all, Manga Entertainment was distributor for Ghost in the Shell: SAC and SAC 2rd GIG and Bandai was the one to license those titles.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society was license by Manga Entertainment and Bandai was the distributor.


Manga Entertainment and Bandai work alot with each other on anime titles that they get.

Oh isn't .hack bandai as well? They had .hack/sign, .hack/Legend of the twilight bracelet, and I think at one time .hack//ROOTS came on at like 5 in the moring.

[Roy Mustang]

Oh isn't .hack bandai as well? They had .hack/sign, .hack/Legend of the twilight bracelet, and I think at one time .hack//ROOTS came on at like 5 in the moring.

Yes, But .hack//sign started out being showed at an afternoon or evening time slot and then it was move to the 5 am time slot. Just about all the others were at the 5 am time slot.


[color="Red"][font="Book Antiqua"]Col. Roy Mustang[/font][/color]

[ADXC]

I do remember watching it at 12am on a friday night, I thought that was a pretty good time.

[rocklobster]

Which just shows how desperate Bandai is to promote their stuff. .hack really belongs in a time slot where children can actually watch it. It's not really that offensive of a franchise.
