VOD Fridays – FUNimation Anime (7/16)
My very poor attempt to hide the names of entrants.
We’re about 5 days away from San Diego Comic-Con, aka Geek Retreat Week. FUNimation Channel will be there at booth #4135. We’re across the CBS booth. Our contest for the new 42″ HDTV set ends on July 28, so hop on over to the Get FUNimation Channel site and enter your info for a chance to win.
While at Comic-Con, we have another thing to introduce and hope would become a mainstay. We are giving away limited edition FUNimation Channel t-shirts at the show. In order to pick up the exclusive shirt, you would need to:
1) Stop by the booth and fill out the channel request card
2) After filling out the card, you tear and keep the top part of the card and…
3) follow FUNimation Channel on Twitter (FUNiChan)
4) We will Tweet t-shirt giveaway times.
The supply is VERY LIMITED so when I Tweet the time, calmly head over to the FUNimation booth, show me the top part of the channel request card and Voila! Free limited edition shirt. The shirt is given away on a first-come, first-served basis – fyi. I’ll give you a hint – it won’t be during mid-day. 
In addition to the t-shirt giveaway, when you fill out the channel request card you are still entering to win a $250 anime prize pack. We haven’t announced the winner from AX yet. We will as soon as they are confirmed.
In August, we should have some news about the channel expanding. We think you will be pleased. A press release will be posted as soon as it is approved. But for now, just patiently wait for the news. Feel free to guess though. 
And now to list what’s up on Comcast VOD:
On Demand –> The Cutting Edge –> Funimation Anime–> Funimation Platinum
- Samurai 7 eps 1 – 5 Special
- D. Gray-man eps 1 - 10 Special

VOD Fridays – FUNimation Channel (7/2)
Its sunny out here in LA-LA Land. I just pulled open the curtains to see how it looks outside — in my boy shorts. 
That was very Strike Witches-esque of me. Yeah, I’m waging a solitary war against pants in my hotel room right now. Thankfully no one seemed to have noticed from the street. Otherwise, I would’ve heard some fender-bender crash. No one would want that!
We have some refreshes today on Comcast VOD. Because it is July 4th weekend and it is AX, some of the newer titles that were scheduled to air today have been pushed for next week. If you see an empty folder on your PPV VOD, just disregard it. Gremlins had interfered with the system.
Here’s a list of what’s up on Comcast VOD:
- Case Closed ep 87
- Honey and Clover ep 05
- Baccano ep 05
- Claymore eps 05 -06
- Tsubasa Chronicle eps 39 – 40
- Aquarion eps 03 -04
- Buso Renkin ep 20
- Monster ep 20
- Bamboo Blade ep 10
- Kenichi eps 1 – 12
- Jubei-Chan eps 09 – 12
- Escaflowne eps 09 – 10
Note to California viewers – If you are attending Anime Expo, stop by the FUNimation booth and fill out the channel request form. You will also get a chance to win a $250 anime prize pack. Free to enter. Plus you are helping with our campaign to expand the channel. BTW – the campaign is working. Our meetings with cable providers such as Time Warner Cable is gaining momentum — all because of this campaign. You are getting heard. Let’s keep this going! Not at AX? You can still get in on the action by going to the Get FUNimation Channel site.
I’ll be live-Tweeting at the con today and tomorrow. If you are cosplaying and look so awesome that you cause traffic in the aisles – look for “FUNiChan” and I’ll take a pic of you in your outfit and share on the channel’s Twitter site. Cosplaying as a group? Sure – I’ll post a pic of you and the gang. Its all about you guys this weekend. How will you know you found “FUNiChan”? Ummm, let’s see…I’m wearing pants at the show…
To see what’s airing now on the linear channel, go to the channel’s programming grid at the jump.

Last week I visited the Uniqlo SOHO store in NYC and briefly met Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima. Let me just say it in pictures:

Did I geek out? A bit. I played it cool though. And on that rare occasion we were able to take pictures inside the store. Usually, they never allow people to do that during normal shopping days. But that day wasn’t normal by any standard. The line seriously stretched out and down Broadway and wrapped around the corner. They finally have the new Evangelion 2.22 You Can [Not] Advance t-shirts in stock. I managed to pick one up:

VOD Fridays – FUNimation Channel (4/9)
Last week was fun. The folks in Seattle, WA were very nice in welcoming me to their convention. Congratulations again to our $250 Anime Prize Pack winner from the show. Stay tuned to this blog because in the near future, we will unveil a whole slew of new things for the channel. We will also have a dedicated site for the campaign we launched last week at Sakura-Con. Good times ahead!
A couple things this week on Comcast VOD. We had some delays in receiving some titles over the holidays so some shows are going to extend episodes for an additional week. I blame lots of chocolate for the delay. I’ll note the shows below.
This week on Comcast VOD:
On Demand —> The Cutting Edge —> Funimation Anime —> Funimation Platinum
- Evangelion 1.11
- Slayers Revolution eps 3 – 5 (extended for an additional week)
- Soul Eater eps 16 – 18 (extended for an additional week)
- Strike Witches eps 3 – 5 (extended for an additional week)
- Hunter X Hunter eps 32 – 34
On Demand —> The Cutting Edge —> Funimation Anime —> Funimation Free
- Case Closed eps 69 – 70 (extended for an additional week)
- Black Cat ep 20
- Buso Renkin ep 8
- Black Blood Brothers ep 8
- Gundam SEED Destiny ep 46
And highlights this month on linear include El Cazador De La Bruja, Monster, Nabari No Ou, Nana and Honey and Clover. For the schedule jump here.
Here are some pics from Sakura-Con. I might be attending C2E2 in Chi-town next week. Still waiting for final confirmation on that. If you are attending, give a shout-out! And keep checking this blog for latest updates on the I Want My FUNimation Channel HD campaign. It will be an all out effort.
Don’t let these cosplayers efforts go in vain. Let your cable or satellite operator know that you pay a lot for your service and that adding The FUNimation Channel to your linear lineup will make all your bitterness go away (or at least some of it go away). 
VOD Fridays – FUNimation Channel (9/25)
I just bought the new iPod Nano with video recorder since I plan to use it for these upcoming interviews with Yui Makino & AKB48 @ NYAF. I’m still trying to get used to the size of it and placement of the video lens (my finger seems to make a special guest appearance). The 5th gen Nano is quite tiny and strangely yummy to look at. Let’s see if my awesome videography skills will impress the streaming viewers. 
If you are attending New York Anime Festival this weekend at the Javits, stop by the FUNimation booth (#303) and say “hi” to the booth folks. And look for me – Amanda from FUNimation Channel – and perhaps you’ll end up in my video odyssey. If you are cosplaying and want to show off your handiwork – then most definitely look for me.

Movies & Events —–> FUNimation Anime (PPV VOD)
- Honey and Clover eps 11 – 12
The Cutting Edge —->FUNimation Anime (Free VOD)
