Hi, I read a statement online from a representative from a US TV channel that they will be airing X anime shows in the year 2008.
I understand from reading Teh Rules that ANN doesn't want rumors to be circulated here, but I wanted to mention this because I'm wondering if ANN can use their position as a news publication to approach this US TV channel and ask them what will be those anime series it plans to air. It was really annoying to read the comment from that representative that they plan to air X anime series, but didn't want to reveal the titles to a lowly consumer like me. |

It's August. You'll find out soon enough. Be patient. Have a fortune cookie. Sooner or later, we'll be submersed by the Christmas season once again.
Well, that's what I'd call a "lure". To lure you into getting some attention into it -- for ancipation. A valid marketing tactic. |

That's ridiculous. If they wanted people to know what it is already, they would have said it themselves. They'll announce it themselves (and we'll hear it here, I'm sure) when they feel it is the best time to do so. They aren't going to release that info just because ANN asks nicely. And the idea that ANN would go do this is.... rather silly, I think, because they know all this and they know this TV station won't just hand out that kind of info. And you didn't even bother mentioning the TV channel... |

Although I think this thread might get locked, it would be nice to know what anime is officially scheduled for '08, if any. Have there actually been any official announcements regarding such things?
@ eyesopen0791: As HitokiriShadow mentioned, you should at least tell us what channel you are asking about. If it's Cartoon Network, Sci-Fi, IFC, or any other channel that is already or has previously aired anime, then that's not a big deal that they're showing a new series (maybe) but if it is a previously anime-free network, this could be more interesting. Also, if you could link to that statement you mentioned, that too might minimize the chances of a lock. |

Response to Richard J, since he asked, it seemed, sincerely:
I did not mention the TV channel because I did not want to be reprimanded by the moderators for posting a rumor, as defined here in the forums as as information without a credible source. Technicially, my source is NOT credible; aside from that, the person who made the comment clearly represented that he held a job within the TV channel. If I mention the TV channel now, I know I will be slapped with spreading a rumor, and I don't want to establish a rep as a stupid, bumbling poster. Response to HitokiriShadow: I thought ANN could do a bit of original reporting if I gave them a tip on a potential anime news story. I am not a journalist, only an ordinary individual; ANN are the ones who are journalists; entities/organizations/companies expect journalists, not ordinary people, to approach them about potential news stories. If ANN's news is primarily a compendium of news gathered from other publications, then I suppose they won't ask the TV channel company. I suppose the most disappointing thing that can happen if they do is that the TV channel will say, sorry, not going to tell you, wait for the press release next year. At this time, I leave it to the moderators to make a decision of what I should or should not bother revealing and to inform me whether ANN does follow a lead on anime news stories. |

Ehhh...let's just wait for the official announcement. No hard feelings, though.
