Information | News Nov 11th, 2002 ADV Launches The Anime Network on Cable TV in the United States HOUSTON, November 6, 2002 - ADV Films today announced publicly the creation of The Anime Network™, the first television channel in North America dedicated to anime (Japanese animation) and anime-related content. The Anime Network™ targets the nation's estimated 85 million cable television subscribers, and seeks to capitalize on cable's increasing dominance in the world of at-home entertainment. The Anime Network™ model is structured around four categorized content areas: Action Zone, Sci-Fi, Comedy Incorrect, and Horror/Martial Arts. These categories are designed to include virtually the entire spectrum of quality anime, while contextualizing content for new viewers unfamiliar with specific titles. Coming soon, releases detailing geographic/service provider availability of The Anime Network™, along with information about whom viewers can call regarding local availability; also, a sneak preview of programming that will be available in The Anime Network™'s first months.

This is something Sailor Moon fans have been dreaming of for a very long time, and now it’s finally on the way. Each season will be packaged in their own spectacular box sets. And, we’re happy to report, production on the first season of episodes is already under way. Source: ADV April 30, 2002 The REAL Scoop on Sailor Stars Mr. Greenfield (AD Vision) explained that the reason the Sailormoon Sailorstars television season has not yet been licensed for American release is because Toei Animation of Japan is hesitant to allow American distribution of the series for fear that its potentially controversial subject matter may detriment American sales of Sailormoon videos and merchandise and adversely affect Sailormoon's "family friendly" status in America. Source: Anime Nation April 19, 2002 Sailor Moon back on Toonami The Cartoon Network has officially announced that as of June 3rd, Sailormoon will again be broadcast on the channel at 3:30PM each weekday, leading directly into an expanded 3 hour long block of Toonami programming that will air from 4-7PM each weekday. What is somewhat surprising is that although Sailormoon will air directly adjacent to the official start of Toonami programming, it will not officially be a Toonami program while the children's anime series Hamtaro will be broadcast as part of the Toonami programing.

If the Cartoon Network is willing to air it, then there's no reason for CWI/Optimum not to dub it. October 2nd, 2000 --Animation Gets Oscar Recognition-- The Motion Picture Academy has agreed to create a separate category for animated feature films, but the nominations would appear only when at least eight animated films are released during a year. The Academy has argued in the past that so few animated features are produced annually that all of them would receive a nomination if the category was instituted. Under the new rule, if 8-15 features are released in a year, three would be eligible for nominations. If 16 are released, five would be eligible.
