The folks at Sony Pictures Television
decided to make yet another big step in the anime industry, making their Animax channel go mobile. For starters, Australia and Canada will be the only two countries enjoying this (hopefully) quality service, via their own national mobile services. By no means a copycat of the television versions of the channel, this young padawan will have an independent lineup, consisting of Blood+, Last Exile, R.O.D. and Gankutsuou. Though this may seem like a bunch of weak TV shows, let me remind you that, well, it's a new beginning, and that we can expect some more
lolicious interesting shows later on. I would gladly cheer for this initiative to be brought to more and more countries, my own included. Now, boys and (little) girls, hush hush to the nearest gadget store and buy yourself a new 3G handset with video potential. And make sure it's pink.
(I blame Terrence and Philip for this Canadian discrimination. As for Australia, I blame the pedo kangaroos.)
