And nobody really cared. Seriously, this is pathetic. Very late and not even a mainstream platform.
Get Sailor Moon on YTV, that channel has a greater history with the show than any channel in the US. Also, the YTV blog recently had a poll about "which sailor you are" based on a quiz - what a giant c0ck-tease. Rather than the show, we get polls online, fantastic. |

Well what do you expect? YTV got most it's shows from Nick and with the fall of Nick, YTV got dragged down along with it. I think TMNT is the last good show Nick has at this point. YTV used to show alot of the kids anime like Pokemon but those have moved over to Teletoon in recent years for some reason. |

To back up what you guys are discussing:
Yeah, YTV had a giant company wide change in strategy and audience. From around 2009/2010 they were restructuring their programming to resemble that of a family channel - and as a result downsized on cartoons (anime being completely wiped from the schedule). However, with the recent resurgence of anime culture in the West, or maybe an anime boom that we've been having, thanks to the likes of AoT, One Punch Man, Sailor Moon license rescue by Viz, and Funimation's treatment of One Piece - anime is not a niche genre that it was 20 years ago. YTV could easily have a 2h block dedicated to anime once a week, that's only 4 shows for God's sake. Why re-invent the wheel? Just show popular anime, copy what Toonami is doing, look at their ratings and pick the shows that work. A simple line-up with Sailor Moon, InuYasha, Gundam IBO, and One Punch man will go a long way. And this is me just naming random shows. Hell, just show sailor moon at like 6pm on Fridays or Saturdays, people will watch that shit. Some past fans from the 90s who watched it back then now have kids of their own. The nostalgia will bring in old fans and their kids. |

Didn't YTV aired GITS: Stand Alone Complex at Midnight at one point?

Yes. Some notable late night shows they had: InuYasha GITS SAC Gundam Seed/Destiny FMA 2003 Naruto Bleach Eureka Seven Escaflowne Death Note Zatch Bell .hack SIGN Witch Hunter Robin Case Closed (aka Detective Conan) Some non late night notable shows: Shaman King Sailor Moon Tokyo Mew Mew One Piece Avatar (not anime but w/e) Pokemon/Yugioh/Beyblade (in other words toy anime) MÄR DBZ Ghibli Films |

I've never even heard of TubiTV... whatever it is, it doesn't seem to have the penetration of Canada's two main Netflix competitors, CraveTV or Shomi, plus, of course, Netflix Canada itself.

If you mean from the list, probably only some of the kids demograpic shows if its the same ones from the US probably. (The non-late night ones for example) Also, that list is missing Pretty Cure, cause I did hear and remember YTV aired that back in the day. 100% faithfully, but besides name changes to adapt it "Ace Attorney" style. But yes, it had to take so long for Can. to get their Classic SM fix online, besides getting it on home video. >.> |

Very minor. As apposed to the US giving goons in Gundam SEED green guns, the Canadian broadcast did no such thing. FMA and Death Note were practically uncensored. In my opinion YTV did a better job than CN - less was censored. Although I do remember them skipping episode 10 of SAC (Jungle Cruise) where the woman gets skinned alive, only to air it a few months later after people complained lol.
Non notable to me, or anyone pretty much 
Heck, even Hamtaro was more notable! But if we're just listing all anime from YTV, these come to mind too (although I might have forgotten some): Battle B-Daman Dinasaur King SD Gundam Force (only with Rogers on Demand) Digimon Blue Dragon Duel Masters Medabots Zoids Zero Samurai Pizza Cats D.I.C.E. That Jackie Chan cartoon (not anime, but it was epic!) Sonic X Monster Rancher |

TubiTV is not a major service, but it's certainly functional. Chromecast is much more stable than on a lot of apps, and it's been very easy to get through various episodes that way. I expect that Sailor Moon will be a draw for them, so hopefully we'll see more Viz Media titles soon.
As for broadcast, I can't see YTV airing anime anytime soon given the way their focus has shifted. However, you guys may want to note that the new channel Family CHRGD is currently airing the Iron Man anime from a few years ago, completely uncut at that. Might be worth you time to drop them an e-mail to let them know that you want to see more. |

Honestly, that blog is more or less retired. I trust you've been following my podcast, though? |
