Hm this is interesting. It's good to have an integrated marketing campaign but I don't agree with the goal of the campaign. Isn't Starz a premium package in the States? How are they going to reach possible customers outside of the States with this campaign?

That's right. When I had Dish and Direct, Starz was bundled with the Encore channels - if anything. I don't recall seeing it with the other "movie" channels unless you were willing to pay 70 bucks a month for the whole shebang.
Then again, that was at least a couple years ago since I last checked.

I didn't know Anchor Bay, Manga and Starz were all connected. I'm way out of the loop here.

Ohh, hadn't thought of that but sign me up too. Akira, GITS, and maybe Perfect Blue to provide a family friendly title.

Will be nice if this also leads them to start running some in HD. *enters dreamland* Maybe by then Comcast will have picked up the full suite in HD rather than just the flagship.
