What happened to all the anime?

[zap2346]

I have had dish net for a while and i've noticed something. the only anime i can find is on small microscopic blocks of programming. So I ask what happened to the negotiations for funimation channel and anime network? are there any anime channels?

just thought i'd bump this

It's considered niche programming. The demand isn't high enough for DISH to actively seek programming agreements with those channels.

Only Anime channel I remember was part of Voom. It is long gone.

After Dish dropped Voom your only source is late night and during Toonami on the Cartoon Network. Check this website from the Cartoon Network for streaming full episodes of the anime shows they broadcast.

Also, there used to be a block of FUNimation on Colours TV, but it was dropped to make way for "Pan Desi Prime Time" - which is not bad, but seems to have a lot of repeats.

SciFi channel still plays some late night anime occasionally. They have recently shown Macross Plus, which I managed to catch and record.

I watched Witchblade on IFC last year. I think they're running at least one other anime series now, but I haven't had time to check it out.

There is also quite a bit of anime on Netflix Streaming if you have the service.
