Yep, starting at 9:30pm.

Still no encores, though. SEED episode 1 is repeating at 1:30am... there seems to be something keeping them from airing the episodes more than once a week.

Probably the fact that the kiddies can't deal with character development and human drama. At least that's why CN moved it to 1:00AM (now 5:00AM) here in the US.

And I'm guessing b2b means "back-to-back". But with no encores, you guys up north will always be some ways behind us. Last night they showed the episode where that tracker ninja appears.

Sweet back to back episodes. I have something to look forward to this friday. Anyone know if something will replace SEED or SIGN in the future or at least have some idea of what would be shown?

... no. Gundam SEED has been a smash hit on YTV and aired all 50 episodes at 9:30pm. It's normal timeslot (which is in reruns) is now 10:00pm on Fridays with repeats at 1:30am. However, this week there are two episodes of Naruto, so the encore slot is just going to be a repeat of the first episode. It looks like this is just a one week thing to get caught up with the US broadcast of Naruto, though (right now we're a week and six days behind. After the two episodes, we'll get the episodes in the same week) and SEED reruns will continue at 10pm.

What I'm confused about is why Naruto isn't getting any repeat showings, while Gundam SEED repeats are being aired twice. If you don't catch the initial airing early on Friday night, you're screwed.

Still absolutely no indication of any new shows for the block this year, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for Destiny by December, especially since the dub is apparently over half finished.

Maybe its because Naruto hasn't had the time to build up a huge fan base. I mean Gundam SEED already had the Gundam Wing fanbase to build on.

I think by episode 18 or so naruto should be getting an encore showing.

I think there's some kind of contract issue preventing them from airing the episodes more than once a week. Every other anime on the block gets an encore except Naruto.
