  1. :( I have Knology :( And do you guys know when Devil May Cry and when they Cry will be hitting box set status?

  2. cool :D

  3. Any chance of you doing some VOD with AT&T? Just got Uverse and have enjoyed some of the Anime Network stuff but no sign of you guys- at least that I can see, admittedly I poke more at Boomerang and the HD movie channel then the VOD stuff right now >>

  4. No ComCast and none of the other stuff here either :( so I guess I just have to do it the old-fashioned way … wait for them (especially Honey and Clover dubbed in English, I hope, I hope, I hope :D ) and buy them on dvd when released.

  5. I actually liked the old Comcast Anime Selects. I got to see lots of really different types to shows on that, I normally wouldn’t have gotten exposure to. Bought a lot of stuff, from watching it first on that VOD channel. But I guess with CPM now bankrupt, there’s not much left to put on it anyway. Still I would have liked to have both the Funi channel and the original Anime Selects. Oh well :( .

    The postive is I get to see lot more anime now. That’s always good. I hope Honey and Clover, Nana, and Monster air on the free VOD, as I’d like to check them all out for free.

  6. Might I direct you to Cox Communications, also did you do this because Comcast went to you, to be honest I have never really bought the contact you cable provider to get this channel line.

  7. Wonder if this means the FiOs on demand section will be getting an upgrade soon. Had comcast but their horrible service and constant service interuptions made me switch

  8. Sadly for me I have cablevision and still don’t have Funimation Channel :(

  9. IS their any chance we will get to finish seeing the series that were airing on Anime selects :?: Aquarion stopped at episode 24 of 26 Solty Rei at episode 4, Shingu 14, & Most importantly Gundam Seed Destiny at 6.

    What’s with the 3 hour rentals now on Funimation Channel On Demand. Series I’m watching keep expiring before I have a chance to finish them.

  10. John Smith: Shingu is not a funimation title, it’s from Rightstuf. I too want to see that and Vampire Princess Miyu (tokyopop) finished. Maybe Funimation’s channel can pick them up where they left off? They are two great series that need some love.

  11. I really wanna watch Kare Kano and stuff like Negima! please.

  12. Is there any chance you guys will be showing GTO again like the old Anime Selects?

    It was always a passtime of mine to watch the series in full as the old Anime Selects aired it haha.

  13. umm are you going to be updating Ouran High School Host Club Episode 13 “Haruhi In Wonderland”?? Cause I REALLY REALLY WANT TO SEE IT :D

  14. omg! thanks :) I was so happy when I first realized there was funimation on demand especially since Fios got the funimaton channel…

    keep up the good work (i love the peach grirl dub)

  15. I have Verizon FIOS and I have both Funimation channel and Funimation VOD. But I was only able to find free shows on VOD which already air on main channel. I tried looking up anime in PPV – but couldn’t find any of the free shows listed for July. Are they only for Comcast and Verizon FIOS does not air them? Why the discrimination?

    the Shows for July supposed to be:

    Kaze No Stigma
    Claymore
    Buso Renkin
    Heroic Age
    Murder Princess
    Honey and Clover
    Baccano!

  16. haha i just got comcast today for the funimation channel

  18. @ Shawn

    Right now, FUNimation Anime is only available On Demand on Comcast.

  20. @ Jessica
