I didn't realize that GAIM is a rebranded Luken Communications with different management. I guess this is PBJ Vol. 2 with Hasbro's library instead of DreamWorks Classics. That network lasted <5 years.

I can't imagine anyone in the U.S. is nostalgic for Dork Hunters.

At some point they started airing Animal Fanpedia, Di-Gata Defenders, Jade Armor and Prime Radicals. Angelo Rules is also back on the schedule. Starting in May: Living with Dad MaXi Time Jam: Valerian and Laureline

That's my assumption, too. The second E is Clue.

Hamtaro is a Shogakukan property outright (to the point the brand's official Japanese website is hosted under their domain) with no else besides TV Tokyo and the author in the show's copyright line, so I kind of assume Viz likely has it by default as their subsidiary. Maybe worth noting that...

I think whomever is sitting on the rights (Viz) is sabotaging any current year success by doing absolutely nothing with it. We've lived through a decade of cute mascot characters being pretty commonplace in the Anglosphere and somehow, a cute hamster with some nostalgia value has been entirely MIA.

Yeah, the FAST version very quietly debuted on Prime a few months ago and earlier this month on Plex. Hasbro actually announced it back in the fall.

An overly repetitive FAST channel is nothing new, but I don't know if Hasbro has the library to make a proper linear channel work - especially if it's limited to things that are at least a decade old. Maybe it'll convince someone at that company to get the rights to the bits and pieces of their...

If you look at Discotek's Blu-Ray release of the show, the back cover features Capcom and Shochiku. WildBrain simply acted as a digital distributor (primarily on YouTube) during Fully Charged's promo cycle. I think Capcom owns the '90s U.S. shows based on their games outright now. Street...

Will it be more popular than Nickelodeon's Italian Brainrot series?

If Toei had any interest in redubbing the original series, they would not have gone through the effort of remastering its existing dub for a release on Hulu.

No idea if you still care, but as Linus and Primo's website stated, Droners Season 2 premiered on January 19th. TV Insider's guide doesn't list episode titles, so I had no idea.

Because if there's anything anime fans need more of, it's subscription services ... Paramount+ isn't alone in not having any first-run anime. That is true of Apple TV and Peacock, too. The latter is actually somewhat surprising given NBC Universal is a relatively large investor in Japan.

Azuki's Anime.com will be hosting an Unlimited Blade Works livestreaming marathon on January 16th: They previously streamed the first two seasons of MHA on December 23rd. Curiously, that promo makes no mention of Crunchyroll, suggesting they got the show directly from Toho.

One last Saturday night addition: Joy Eternal This and Pipo don't appear to have been released in English before.

New additions beginning January 19th: Brain Buzz Super Animals Four and a Half Friends Mystery Lane Totally Spies (S1) Life with Boys Legend of the Dragon Wow That’s Amazing Earth Science Investigators Danger! Wild Animals Kaeloo Itch The Actually Really Very Difficult Show You're Called What...

The final solution is its closure. Netflix buying this company will only expediate that. They have no use for a decaying linear business and Discovery isn't going to sell off their animation studios to just start another one. At best, the "brand" sticks around as a label applied to legacy IPs, a...

Vme Expands Vme Kids Animation Offerings and Will Add Nearly 500 Hours of Programming for Primo in 2026 PGS Entertainment Signs Multi-Series Deal with VME’s Primo TV in the U.S.

Because YouTube ad-revenue isn't enough to compensate the overheads of a professional studio. Glitch is, AFAIK, largely a virtual studio with no central location. Do they pay crew members industry rates? Are they unionized? Do they have a horde of lawyers, producers, janitors, etc.? I guess it...

Global actually aired a handful of Treehouse shows in the weekend early mornings between late 2016 and early 2017. I don't think you'll see that repeated, though.

The URLs for their schedule photos suggest they were uploaded on September 1, 2023. You can compare the Canadian one to the proper listing on TV Passport. I don't think any cablecos carry the U.S. feed (outside of the app) for it to show on their EPGs, so that one's probably a mystery.

They launched that app in April 2023. Rogers and Shaw (now the same company) license out Comcast's tech in Canada, so developing an app for one means they've developed an app for all. I don't know if that strategy's a great one (they don't have anywhere near the name recognition to have kids...

Those are all mainly rerun farms. At best, you'll make get a single original show from Treehouse and YTV a year, but after Nelvana's development team got gutted last summer (with no news of replacements), even that might be asking too much. If linear was all kids had, I'd say things are dire...

They bought the channels 12 years ago. In that time span, linear TV went from being the vast majority of viewing to antiquated for most people in the target demo. Even if they still had the Disney content, there's no real guarantee those channels survive much longer. Disney+ completely undercut...

Yes, they're definitely doing a multi-month promo campaign for TMNT to air it exclusively at 3AM on Tuesday mornings.

If we're going to include non-U.S. networks, Canada still has OTA kids blocks on CBC, City TV Saskatchewan and TV Ontario in English. French has Radio-Canada and Tele-Quebec. These are all educational/government broadcasters - with the exception of City, which was one that has had this content...

YTA TV airs Street Sharks, Dork Hunters, Kong: The Animated Series, Legend of the Dragon, Double Dragon, and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: https://www.ytatv.com/_files/ugd/c1b966_a272d1d16a634b23bd1473c41ff80901.pdf I think Roswell, Highlander and King Arthur are also the animated shows...

I'm guessing they decided against "Famille Junior" because there wasn't a French-language Family channel for it to be an extension of. It is weird that Telemagino is still using Family Jr.'s preschool style branding when its lineup hasn't been solely for that audience in years. As for the 2001...

WildBrain still operates Telemagino, though that's supposed to be sold alongside the rest of their TV business to Island of Misfits. There are also kids blocks on Radio Canada, TFO and Unis.

Toei's made the individual uploads public again: They've also launched an official Instagram page for the franchise.

Chaotic premieres tomorrow on Primo at 7PM. Mondays though Fridays. Gotta get Magi-Nation, Metajets, Scan2Go, Monsuno, LBX and a few more to complete the vibe.

Zexal's opening has more views because it's available to watch everywhere outside of Asia. For whatever reason, the 5Ds theme song is severely limited and can't even be streamed in the U.S.

Suicide Squad Isekai's rights don't seem to be cut-and-dry. It's one of the few modern anime to get a U.S. release while being completely missing in Canada. Corus has an agreement with WBA for their stuff, with all of the modern DC productions (including Creature Commandos) airing on the Adult...

It's owned by NBC Universal, so it's probably too expensive to be slotting at 2AM.

There was a rumour about an Animax channel launching in the U.S., but that Sony-Comcast partnership didn't really result in anything. The most Sony did was launch a collection under the Animax brand on Crackle and a short-lived mobile service in Canada. I think the issue with even attempting an...

A $2.2 million fine would not have taken down a successful block that was targeting a demo none of your other programming reaches. It is kind of funny that happened to them. The block was plagued by technical issues in the early days, seemingly as a result of Sinclair's cloud-based system. I...

It's entirely possible they'll be running MHA 1+2 tonight, UBW 1+2 next week (last week was episode "0"), MHA 3+4 the week after, etc. Basically, an alternating weekly hour of premieres. It's just that the schedule doesn't make it clear. It's obvious they're doing some kind of bi-weekly...

I'm curious to know what they plan on airing in the back half-hour this week. AXS' schedule really does suggest they're airing these shows bi-weekly. The promos exclusively feature Azuki's short-form content, but I'm not sure there's enough to fill a half-hour slot for more than a week or two...

Demarco and friends have had nearly 20 years to air a Fate show. As for MHA, this block would be years away from catching up to Toonami's run. Even longer if they're actually only airing episodes bi-weekly. I'd be surprised if the block (or Azuki, for that matter) last long enough to see it...
