animax card captor sakura dubbed episode 1

I mean, despite the genre being popular to most of my friends, I always thought it was a niche hobby and something a lot of outsiders misunderstood, especially here in the Philippines. Having a channel devoted to just anime, which can be for kids or show adult content, that was going to be difficult.

I could understand channels like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon working since they were basically channels for kids programs.

I do have to give a shout-out to some of the lesser known AXN Asia animes like the sappy teen drama Boys Be…, the space adventure/harem Vandred, the rather weird but exciting Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko, the super depressing Now and Then, Here and There and, my personal favorite and the first anime I did watch on AXN Asia, You’re Under Arrest! I dreamed of owning a moto-compo because I thought it would be so handy to have a motor scooter you can fit into the back of a car! You’re Under Arrest! was so cool!Īnyway, the AXN Asia animes prove to be a big hit in the Philippines so, when they announced Animax Asia, a channel dedicated to only showing anime programs 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, I pretty much lost my mind! To me it was a dream come true and a dream I didn’t think was ever possible. They had pristine picks like Rekka no Honoo/Flame of Rekka, which, thanks to its strong similarity to another popular anime in the Philippines, Yu Yu Hakusho (called GhostFighter in the country because… the Philippines?), it hit like gangbusters! They also had some more crowd pleasers like Fushigi Yugi, Gate Keepers, Steam Detective, Slam Dunk! and the ever popular Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X. Then again, AXN Asia certainly helped the cause by picking the perfect anime to tickle the audience. I guess they were a way to prove it was possible for an all-anime channel would work. Their sister channel, AXN Asia, were already testing the waters by showing a couple of anime programs during weekdays at the early evening. It certainly helped that, before Animax Asia started broadcasting in the Philippines, there was a channel championing the power of anime way before then.
