The Gantz advert just stated Sat and Sun so I assumed Only then, which was wrong.

Gantz is definitely strange. I also find it strange the first thing that happens when the girl appears is main guy kisses her then the Yakuza guy tries to rape her. Main guys childhood friend is now my hero, for being the hero :)
I think that in the time you were gone it has been pointed out that one thing people disliked about Animax was the fact that episodes were not shown in chronological order and to the best of my knowledge no has pointed out that programs follow two cycles one for weekends and one for weekdays; at least not in this thread.

Look if you’re a 15 year old teenage boy and a naked busty beautiful girl falls into your lap I hardly think you’d stand up shake her hand, what Kurono did was just heat of the moment.

Oh, right, sorry I said all that on the NAG forums the first tuesday after Animax started. It was pretty obvious -but the pain was that the day started at 6pm, so you basically ended up with the cycle being tuesday to Saturday and the weekend being Sun and Mon. But the new shows all seem to be in the right place with Mon-Fri and Sat-Sun.

Also if a beautiful busty girl appeared out of no-where and falls into my lap -I'd be my boring self and give her my shirt and any clothes I could find -yeah, I'm weird that way.

Also is Wolf Rain really a late night show? I haven't seen any reason why it's on so late -it's a pretty cool show too.

It’s easy to get confused; I’ve made mistakes like that as well.
You know what it seems like you and I are the only one’s watching Animax.

Well most anime watchers already saw what there is to now see years ago so the small following makes sense.

What, the rest of DSTV, ETV and SABC isn't?

The only way you'd have seen those shows before Animax is if you live in another country, imported them, or got them by downloading, or from a friend.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch my...um...perfectly legal Kiddy Grade show I...um...didn't get from a lan

Angelic Layer was my first introduction to CLAMP and Jpop. I never knew that Misaki’s voice actress sings the opening theme (Japanese V/A are so versatile) and the ending theme by HAL is probably one of the most played songs on my play list.
It really is a shame though that English dub doesn’t do the series justice

I’m unable to see or find anything redeemable about Final Fantasy: Unlimited, I can’t believe one has to sit through 26 episodes of this series.

Looks like Neon Genesis Evangelion (Platinum Collection – Director’s Cut) starts next month, at least that's what the June edition of Dish says.

Yeah. I'be seen it before, and wouldn't mind seeing it again. Not the greatest for me personally, but very entertaining at times nevertheless.
Who knows, maybe i'll enjoy it more second time around :)

I doubt I'll watch it, again. Seen it like twice before. I'll just follow the rest of the remakes now personally.

Actually the first time i saw it was when the sci fi channel was still running. Would stay up every sat&sunday night to watch the animes they had at 12. Was hard work but what else was available anyway.

It looks like Chrono Crusade is the only knew series starting on Animax in July. Seems like most of new series shown over the last couple of months have all been ADV titles.

Bakuretsu Tenshi was pretty good...
The ending however, was rather strange...at the time as I was still fairly new to anime when I watched it :P

I remember I had problems remembering Burst Angel's Japanese name at the time, it was damn hard to try remember quite a few of the Japanese names when I first started as the language is completely different :P :lol:

Now that you mention it; Black Lagoon: Second Barrage was shown in Japanese but without subtitles. It was quite an experience !
