ABC2 also shows anime. I caught a bit of Ergo Proxy and Noein, but couldn't stand the dubs. SBS usually airs dubs these days, I preferred it years ago when it was usually subbed. >.< I caught an episode of Samurai Champloo on SBS the other day though, surprised me a little. ^^;

I catch some stuff on CN occasionally, but only if I'm flicking channels out of boredom with nothing else to watch. The dubs are generally too traumatic for me to sit through, if it's a show I've seen before (which is everything that comes to TV, pretty much.)

There's an Animax channel on German cable TV.. while I got it for free for a few testing months, they even had an original audiochannel for some shows like He Is My Master, etc. That was cool, but it ran out in a while ago and I'm not paying for that :p
Other than that, TV is meh.. there is only one other free channel here that shows anime, but badly dubbed, and aimed at kids.. like, Naruto with no blood and translations like "kill" becomes "defeat"..

Edit: Typo
Edit: Oh, but I do watch the occasional Miyazaki movie that runs at primetime on misc channels every now and then, they're nice, even dubbed.

I used to watch all of my anime on TV. Mainly on Cartoon Network and the SciFi Channel. They also show some anime on one of the premium channels called Encore Action. Other than that, there was a channel called the International Channel, and they showed Slayers, DBZ/GT and El Hazard on Wednesdays and Fridays.

I watch on DVD. I used to try out things with On Demand, but now you have to pay for that.

If something I like that I've already seen is on TV, then I'll put that on for some noise.

Bloody rocket. I regrets it.

If I had cable I could watch anime on carton network/adult swim, but I only have basic TV, meaning I don't really get any anime except (maybe) pokemon. I don't watch anime on TV anyway, so it doesn't bother me.

Well, in America on the west coast I do know there is a dedicated anime channel on cable...which I don't subscribe to. There's also CN...which I don't get since I don't have cable...nor a TV.

I prefer to watch anime subbed...and one day raw. I will download the newer stuff and do my best to buy the shows I like a lot on DVD, when available, in order to promote the continuation of the anime industry.

Dubbed anime to me is terrible. I've watched a number of shows dubbed to come to the realization that the voice actors doing the dub just can't seem to get the voice inflections right with the context in which the scene is taking place...too worried about lining up their words with mouth movements. Also I have a sneaky suspicion that a number of the voice actors/actresses don't understand Japanese society and so a lot of the context is lost on them. Makes for a terrible dub =/

I have Animax but it's all in Cantonese dub which is terrible however much I can understand it and yes there's subs too but it's still a dub.

And on the Chinese channels on TV there's always a random anime running in the afternoon, which is of course dubbed in Canto.

I watch it on a site that I would get a warning or ban if I say what it is.
The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.
