Yes , finally I have been blessed by the ikasu Gods and recieved what every anime fan wishes to recieve , free of commercials and with enough premium anime shows to shake your chibi eyes and sweatdrops at . Think I'm full of hot air ? I discovered this little ginger of a proverbial treat a couple of months back and thus I've been able to view "Samurai X , Excel Saga (currently up to episode 21 ) , Najica (episodes 9 , 10 , 11 , and 12 , Abenobashi eppies 1 and 2 , and just so much more even my fast typing fingers are asking for a break from all these comma's !

Taking the OnDemand service itself into consideration one can think about the perks (ability to remind , fast forward , pause , and stop to wait to view again over a 24 hour period ) . However I've saved the best part for last tomodachi's , all of this - these shows and the advantages of Ondemand are all available free ! .

So ironic considering RCN itself is encountering some serious trouble in the financial and reputation departments , but still I don't think people who are without the Anime network should neglect taking up the opportunity to purchase RCN , if only for the sweet anime goodness hehe (and no I have not been paid oodles of money to plug ..yet u.u )

I have RCN and have had Anime Network for a few months...but my one gripe is they don't update as regularly as some other providers, and sometimes they skip episodes. :(

Still...it's pretty nice to have. :)

I've got RCN as well but to this point haven't taken advantage of it since
1) The available episodes seem to be partway through the series when I've checked, and I don't want to enter in the middle of the show.
2) On Demand only works on one TV in our house, the one my parents usually use :( So even when they do get episodes from the start availability will be tough.

Oh well, glad to know I have the opportunity to check it out. Was quite dissappointed a while back when RCN took the International Channel away from basic cable :(

I wish Time Warner would pick the Anime Network up :(
