Did anyone else know that ROD The TV was going to be airing on G4TechTV? Cause I'm sitting here watching it right now. Just wondering. I'm mentioning this because I haven't seen news of this anywhere.

Yeah I'm watching it right now. I was surprised it was showing on g4. I didn't know it was going to show so I think on midnight I'm going to record it while I sleep.

TechTV was never that great at promoting their anime beyond the initial launch of Anime Unleashed. And as with everything else having to do with the channel, they only got worse after G4 took over.

It's great that they have a new series to run, but whatever G4's doing that's causing the music to randomly fluctuate in speed is driving me up the wall whenever I try to watch. It happened with Last EXILE, too; the opening would randomly speed up & slow down and it was nothing short of grating on the ears. I know for a fact that this didn't happen back in the TechTV days, so I'd like to know why G4's doing it now.

I also noticed this when I was watching the openers for Gatekeeper 21 over the last couple of nights.

If I hadn't checked my e-mail (Sunday night) and read the Anime Unleashed e-newsletter, then I would have missed watching ROD The TV on Monday. It's too bad that G4TechTv waits to announce their new animes until the "last minute," if ever. Confused

By the way, wasn't Cartoon Network supposed to broadcast the Read Or Die anime later this year? Maybe they have the OVA and G4TechTv has the television series? *shrugs*

Also, does anyone know if or when G4TechTv will air the remaining episodes of Last Exile?

Thanks. Cool

Well if I hadn't seen someone say they saw it on the line-up Thursday, in a thread here, I wouldn't have known because for some reason I wasn't subscribed for the AU newsletter (probably has to do with my joining the place the first week they went back online as G4Tech) Evil or Very Mad.

Cartoon Network is still airing the Read or Die OVA. It's currently scheduled to air on Saturday, October 23, so check your local listings for the time(s).

Supposedly the last half of Last Exile airs in January 2005. No idea if that's actually going to happen or not, though Rolling Eyes.

Same with me. They didn't do a single name change. I have the first DVD and the OVA. Geneon isn't like 4Kids. Rolling Eyes

Thats pretty cool... However i tune into Read or Die on another channel. Its a channel in which i can watch the show plus the OVA subtitled and without commercials... In otherwords i watch ROD at a local anime club already and dont really care about it coming on TV. Anyways, Paper Users Rule!

Embarassed I don't usually read every thread in here, so I unfortunately missed that post.

I hope they will air the rest of Last Exile. I'm anxious to see how the series ends.

Thank you for your help.
