Anime. My friends and family alike all know the word - some wait hesitantly for my long winded rambles, others happily engage in my long winded rambles. Whatever their stand on the word with me, they all know that they can associate anime with moi.

I’ve been watching and following anime faithfully since as long as I can remember. I watched it as it made a large spike in the U.S. shortly after CardCaptors and Adult Swim made their debut. I was bubbling over with excitement when I learned that this wonderful genre of cartoons was in fact, growing up with me. It was at one time, considered childish to continue to watch cartoons for my class - though I still did no matter what was being said about it. I even watched the manga section grow from that dusty shelf in the back to this gigantic section in the front.

Wherever anime has gone and branched out, I’ve been there, helping it along every step of the way. And now, I’m here to help anime again. I’ve recently learned that Fuse has its own anime block every Friday at midnight, provided by Geneon. At the moment, they’re only showing two anime. I highly recommend watching Ergo Proxy, which I was quite happy to learn that I wouldn’t have to run out and buy. The other anime Fuse is showing is Tenjho Tenge. Also, I just learned that every Monday at 11 p.m., Sci-Fi channel has its own anime block provided by Manga Entertainment and Starz Media. Apparently, they’ve been showing doing this for a month now, but I’ll have to check out what Sci-Fi has to offer. I do know that they will be showing Noein, Tokko, and a form of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. I’ll watch what they have to offer and get back to everyone later.

Still, with this much anime being given out on your basic cable package, who needs to upgrade to get Anime on Demand or the FUNImation Channel? Though, I do admit, it’d be nice to have those too…
