VOD Fridays – FUNimation Channel (1/22)
This morning I woke up to the surprise that one of my fave bands has their first single “Rocket” on sale in some countries but not here in the US. WTF? But thanks to some folks there is a full track streaming out there on the wild interwebs. I can’t post a link but can only point you to the bands message board and you can find it from there…if you are curious 
Looking at the single’s album cover reminded me of some anime titles out there. I just can’t place which one though. I mean, the singer Alison Goldfrapp is shooting a laser outta her hand. See…
And what does this have anything to do with anime? Absolutely nothing. I thought to share with you my morning and let you know where my head is at. BTW, the song reminded me to look forward to Oh! Edo Rocket because the song made me think so. 
Ok. Now that I got that outta my system… Last week Jb correctly guessed that we will air Evangelion 1.11 in February on Comcast VOD. Good job! Another change on the VOD menu will happen starting in February. We are designating which titles are free and which ones are PPV VOD. The free titles will be under the folder titled FUNIMATION FREE while the PPV VOD will be under the folder titled FUNIMATION PLATINUM. The new structure will look something like this:
THE CUTTING EDGE —>Funimation Anime –>Funimation Free
THE CUTTING EDGE —> Funimation Anime –>Funimation Platinum
Here’s what’s up on Comcast VOD for 1/22:
- Case Closed ep 57
- Air Gear eps 19 – 20
- Negima! ep 18
- Shuffle! ep 18
- Fruits Basket eps 23 – 24
- Solty Rei ep 17
- xxxHolic ep 24
- Devil May Cry eps 11 – 12
- Vampire Princess Miyu eps 17-18
As always, for the latest on when your favorite anime is on linear TV, jump to the sked to get the latest info.
I will leave you with this parting chorus… “Oooohh, oohhh, oh! I got a rocket! Oooh, oh, oh! You’re going on it! Oooh, oooh, oh! You’re never comin’ back…”

And for the latest on when your favorite anime titles airs on the linear channel, jump here for the grid. I’ve seen some comments from viewers asking what channel number the linear channel is on Verizon FiOS. Channel 262. You can play that as a lottery number if you like. But that is the channel number.
I think I’m allowed to give you some clues as to what new shows will go up on VOD in the future. Next month, we’ll air a movie and its a giant robot movie. That’s clue one. Clue two… the heroes are kids. That’s all for now! I’m sure you can figure out what movie we’ll unveil in February from those two clues.

VOD Fridays – FUNimation Channel (12/4)
Last month was a bit of a doozy for VOD. Stuff got changed. Things went missing. Bonus eps never came to fruition 
. And to top it off, its the holidays. By now, we are hoping the dust settled in most Comcast cities and that they are receiving the anime titles.
Just to remind everyone – all anime titles under FUNimation Anime On Demand are now in one place: The Cutting Edge category. Free and PPV VOD are living together in one place, in peaceful harmony. From time to time, you will find a title from FUNimation Anime featured under the Movies/Movie Collections section. That usually happens when Comcast wants to do program stunts for a month.
Here’s what’s up on Comcast VOD:
The Cutting Edge/FUNimation Anime
- Spice and Wolf eps 6 – 8
- NANA eps 21 – 23
- Dragonaut eps 13 – 15
- HunterXHunter eps 11 – 13
- D. Gray-man eps 40 – 42
- Soul Eater eps 1 – 3 *Special back-to-back airing
- Linebarrels of Iron eps 1 – 3 *Special back-to-back airing
- xxxHolic ep 17
- Air Gear eps 13 – 14
- Negima! ep 12
- Shuffle! ep 12
- Tsubasa Chronicle eps 13 – 14
- Fruits Basket eps 17 – 18
- Solty Rei ep 11
- Ah! My Goddess eps 21 – 24
- Black Cat eps 3 – 4
- Glass Fleet eps 9 – 12
- Case Closed ep 46 – 47
SOUL EATER! Yes. Merry Christmas!

VOD Fridays – FUNimation Channel (11/13)
So its Friday the 13th and your word of the day is – TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA. I hope you don’t have that condition because that would make your day suck. You know, I just realized there are three words within that word – “risk”, “aid” and of course “phobia”. Its a Greek root word. If you include the Greek pre-fix “tris” I guess you can say the word is made up of four words all smushed into one word to mean this one day. Gotta love the Greeks! Can you tell I’m an etymology freak? Ah, to be an English major.
And now about Spice and Wolf. It’s been pushed to air tomorrow – Saturday. A funny thing happened to one of those eps that operations was hoping to get a replacement in time but it never made it through. Let’s think lovely thoughts and hope this replacement ep is gonna make it through to operations today. Give off good vibes, please. I know its tough, but if we think positive thoughts maybe just maybe all those eps will finally air. :D
Yesterday I posted about changes to the Comcast VOD menu. Those changes happen next week but some cities have started to switch over and in some cases missing updates and episodes. Right now, I’m speaking with operations to get an ideal if some of those cities are doing anything about those missing shows. If you noticed a lot of titles missing under The Cutting Edge/FUNimation Anime section, follow the instructions in this post and I’ll try to get some answers from Comcast.
Here’s a list of what’s slated to air today on Comcast VOD:
- Dragonaut eps 1 -5 Special back-to-back
- Blassreiter eps 12-15
- Nabari no Ou eps 16-18
- Negima! ep 9
- Shuffle! ep 9
- Fruits Basket eps 15-16
- Case Closed ep 42

VOD Fridays FUNimation Channel – 10/30
Its a light day today on Comcast’s VOD refresh schedule. But, I can highlight a title that debuted on PPV VOD last week and that was… 
And here’s a screenshot from episode 1 from El Cazador De La Bruja . I’d like to call this scene, “Nadie’s way of taking down baddies”.
And here’s what new on FUNimation Anime free VOD:
The Cutting Edge ——> FUNimation Anime (Free VOD)
Negima! ep 7
Shuffle! ep 7
Fruits Basket eps 13 – 14
Next week, we will DEBUT Spice and Wolf eps 1 – 5 on Comcast’s PPV VOD which is found under the Movies & Events section on your VOD menu. As usual, episode one is a Free view and episodes thereafter are $.99 each. But, the series doesn’t street for a bit so if you want to be the first to view it before anyone else, this is your chance.
Besides, who doesn’t want to stare at this lovely face? 
And for linear channel viewers, always check out the online schedule for when your fave titles start airing.
Remember – Turn your clocks back 1 hour Sunday morning. Its Daylight Savings Time. You don’t want to end up like this on Sunday:
