Hope this is news.

That's great to hear, since I missed out on the DVDs.
Hope more CPM titles manage to show up on TV (Anime Selects has a good selection too).

Such an excellent series. I really hope CPM gets back on thier feet. they have some GREAT series.

Such a good series. It's good that it's getting on TV so more people can see it. I myself already own the dvds though.

CPM managed to get several of their series on TV, but I think this is the first time it's been on a major channel.

I would love to see Central Park come back and start doing new titles. But given the state of the market, I don't think that's likely to happen. But right now, I'll just be ecstatic to see ADV pull out of it's funk.

Hmm... so at 12:30, people will say "Wow, I loved Gurren Lagann! I can't wait for next week's episode! Ooh, there's more anime. I wonder what this is?"

And at 1:00, people will say "Never mind next week. I'll just commit suicide right now."

(Full disclosure: I love NTHT, but I can't imagine it ever getting a TV airing.)

The juxtaposition is the fun part!

Now and Then, Here and There ("NTHT") would throw a number of people for a loop when they get to its second episode after the seemingly plain jane first.

While you're having difficulty, I'm very happy that it's getting a TV airing in the US. I got to watch NTHT on TV when it was aired in Asia as early as 2000/2001 in the daily 2-hour anime timeslot of Sony's AXN-Asia channel. This was way before Animax Asia was launched.

AZN-TV aired NTHT awhile back.

AZN also aired several other CPM titles, including World of Narue and Descendants of Darkness. There were a couple others too, but I'm too lazy to look them up tonight.

i think NTHT is a great show to introduce people to anime: it's short, has a mature and emotionally charged story, and no real cultural gap. in fact, i DID use it to get a friend into anime
