Now and Then, Here and There is excellent. Seriously a great series.

That's all I have to say. Smile

This is cool news, IMO. I hope Cox Communications(My cable provider) picks the channel up.

I found this a bit confusing:

Press Release wrote:
Illusion will be launching free to the consumer in millions of homes via carriers like Verizon Fios on October 1st, 2007.


Does this mean that Illusion will open up the channel for sampling, much like the days when the Disney channel was PPV, yet was free for a couple a weeks per year? Eh, guess I'll find out soon enough.

Anyways, Verizon FiOS seems to be a confirmed carrier, so that's definitely good news.

I do like Anime Network's Digital Dojo and Expo coverage. AN's Nabeshin interview was really fun/ Anime Selects had a nice coverage of Tokyo Anime Show as well as a nice tour of studios in Japan. I'm really not interested in watching something that is already on DVD that is dub only on VOD, but some of the original content is pretty fun.

Slight correction. The Disney Channel was a premium service like HBO or Showtime, not PPV.
