I found this article on the main page of MekTek.net-
Seems that the Sci Fi Channel will be showing a two hour block of anime on Mondays starting on June 11. And they will be kicking it off with a top of the line movie, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex- Solid State Society. The next week three series start up, Noein, Tokko and for the mecha crowd(including me, because I love mecha!), Macross Plus.

They used to have a Saturday Morning anime block. It doesn't really surprise me they'd bring something along those lines back again.

good idea. Thesedays Anime is the richest source of new sci-fi on film in our culture, would you say so?

As Tyranny points out, it's ironic because Sci-Fi Channel used to have the \"Saturday Morning Anime.\" If I recall correctly, it got canned just before anime really took off here and was replaced with the Ray Bradbury Mystery Hour. Ouch. Now it's back on what is arguably the tail end of the anime fad... go figure.

At this rate, maybe they'll bring back MST3K!

Eh... probably not.

Heh I remember the days that I'd wake up early Saturday morning to watch some cartoon shows and Power Rangers. Then I moved on to get up early in the morning to watch anime shows.
Then I started working :P

It would only be cool if they showed the original unedited unAmericanized version with Japanese audio and English subtitles. Otherwise I'm not interested. :P
