No! Not on the night Watchmen comes out! DDD:
Oh well, I guess I'll have to tape it.

YTV should do next day repeats as well in the early morning. You might want to check on that. |

Note that it's 7:30am on Friday, not pm. But yeah, there is the Saturday repeat at 1pm. |

I'll be very interested to see how this is handled.

If it's 4Kids, then it's gonna be a bad dub.
Why couldn't it have been 4Kids instead of Geneon?

YTV uses a 4 hr turn over so they have 4 hrs of repeat every 6 hrs with 2 hrs used for their new content.
whatever show is their top can be seen rebroadcasted 3-4 times a day. its funny their time table doesn't show it but just leave YTV on for a full 24 hrs and you'll see mondays 4 hr block will be repeated throughout the day then tuesdays...etc.. one problem with this is people don't rewatch the same shows 2-3 times each day so they guarantee that a percentage of their days will lose audience because they have already seen whats being broadcast. when YTV stops wasting money on the VJ's/hosts daily garbage maybe they will have a budget to add newer content and actually fill the time slots so they can retain a full audience following. |

Not unless it's being shown by bionix. Also i remembered reading a news clip here stating that 4kids longer had the license,otherwise it would've shown on 4kidsTV. Hell,there's not even one trace of it on the site,It's just like when the license for one piece was changed.
Most important,since Ocean Studios and not the regular 4kids VA is dubbing this,it may mean a different English Company has the license,if that's the case,this series may end up similar to the Viz dubs of Zatch Bell or naruto which were preety decent for the younger audience, SO either though it's not in the US,i'll definately be taking a good interest on how it turns out. Hopefully for the series sake,lets just hope that 4kids DONT have the license, otherwise it'll end up getting destroyed like Tokyo Mew Mew or like the awful Nelvana's version of CCS (Card Captors Sakura) |

Look, 4kids does NOT have the license, and they might never have had it in the first place since there's no evidence more than Al Kahn saying so as a side remark at an unrelated panel. There was never a press release or any official confirmation.
This is a deal between YTV and Toei, and it's being dubbed in Canada, presumably at the same studio where Powerpuff Girls Z was being dubbed... (which is not a good thing, frankly, as that dub is reportedly horrid). |

But even if this is an "evocative" way to get this show on the air, I still wonder if it will work? I mean, has it been proven that ratings are good on Friday morning and Saturday afternoon? While some kids have time to watch shows in the Eastern time zone, kids living in the Central and Western time zones have to be at school on Friday.
And isn't Saturday afternoon a dumping ground for bad anime anyway? I mean...didn't Knights of the Zodiac and Idaten Jump get dumped there? |

Perhaps I don't want to know, but... what's so horrible about it? It's a pretty good show for something aimed at girls 5-12 years old. |

Now you can stop whining about how you never get the good shows over there in Canada. You have Pretty Cure on TV, we don’t.

I'll second the notion that this is a good thing. Pretty Cure isn't Cardcaptor Sakura, from the admittedly small amount I've sampled, but it's an excellent choice for young kids. All the other "kids" shows (Pokemon, DBZ, Naruto... yes, I said it) served as gateways into anime for a lot of people. The most common complaint and reason behind the shrinkage of the anime market has been the lack of anime on TV.
A new audience is born every minute. This show will serve as a gateway to some of that new generation. It will be localized, the dub may not satisfy hardened fans, but it's a turnaround step in the right direction and should only be a positive for the anime industry and its fans. |

For all those questioning the current timeslots, it appears that Pretty Cure will also be running on Sunday mornings at 8am. ANN may want to note this!
