Really? How well did Street Fighter: The Animated Movie, Ghost in the
Shell, and Ninja Scroll do? I seem to recall Manga Entertainment
boasting this those films all went platinum, if not over the 1 million
mark.

And no, I can't watch. DC Anime Club meeting. It's okay, though.
The DC Library system is screening Miyazaki's stuff in November.
Commercial-free, natch.

Terrence Briggs, loaned Kiki from the library last month. Subs don't
suck.
Peace to you...

The first GitS movie was the first anime on the Billboard Top 10,
but haven't heard much PR about it or the other two being platinum,
and definitely not being over a million (would've been a big PR).

I noticed it but I wasn't planning to watch since I have the DVD.

CW should be taking a good hard look at anime. Prime time anime might just
help them out.

If a US network airs an existing anime and it does well, they'll want a
second season immediately. Thus, you're limited to either shows
currently in production with open ended plot lines, existing 100+
episode shows, or something new made just for CW. Do you REALLY want
that?

Now, a prime time animated show with US creators hooked up with a
Japanese or Korean studio, such as we have with Avatar, that I'd like
to see. Or give Bruce Timm a bunch of money to do his own show :)

Terrence, are you sure this is running on Kids WB, and not a local
station or cable channel?

Seems correct--For some reason, Disney allows its movies to be shown on
every channel EXCEPT Disney Channel:
(Where they might interfere with the holy, blameless High School Musical.)

Although some animated movies turn up on Toon Disney once in a while,
Starz seems to be handling most of the live-action and Pixar, while
Turner/Warner got broadcast rights to all the Ghibli dubs, after their
big TCM presentations.

Thanks!

I work right by there, should be no problem to make it as long as I
can get off work.

I've seen all of them at least once, but I've yet to see a Miyazaki
movie in a proper screening. Anime Bento showing Castle of Cagliostro
was the closest, but that projection system isn't really up to the big
screen.

I'm presuming that these will just be DVDs on the wall, but I could be
pleasantly surprised . . .

I can honestly say that the MOVIE doesn't suffer for it :-)

Sure, Spirited Away might lose something via a crappy projection
system, but not Castle of Cag, in all its 1970-whatever glory.

I cannot confirm the source media that from which the movies will be
projected. They do have a DVD/VCR projection, of course, if not a
real projector.
