Do not despair loyal fans!

The anime still continues, even though most of us can't understand much of what's going on......

Still, I hope this is some consolation to others out there.

I know that I said that CC was to be on Wednesdays 3:28am, but I checked the official website which had a message saying that it would be on at 26:58 (presumably 2:58).
Does anyone know if this is just a typo, or are they changing the times again?

You have shows like Inuyasha, Detective Conan, Doraemon, Naruto and One Piece which show regularly at the better "6-8PM" timeslots on a major network in weekdays. Why? Because they are backed by major corporations which knows that these anime will sell.

60+ shows....that's a hella lot. anyway, does anybody have a ranking list of japan's top animes? i know shows like fma and now gungrave is catching on, but how do they fare in japan?

i'm a fan of chrno and it seems like an interesting plot, and i really got into it when they first showed aion in the show, but should i keep watching? the show seems a little rushed and seems there are a lot of (not neccessarliy filler) but episodes that don't progress the story. and it seems a little unorganized in the show, they haven't explained the sinner/pursuer/pandamonium thing, though i read up on it online. i'll get the manga, though

Well... if you managed to get your hands on NewType May Issue, you can read their Index & weekly ratings of anime for the month of Feb/1st week Mar.

Some examples,

Chrno Crusade has ratings of 2.0, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0

Sayuki Reload Gunlock - 4.4, 4.6, 3.5, 4.3

Peace Maker Kurogane - 1.6, 1.1, 1.4, 1.6

Naruto - 6.9, 6.8, 8.7, 8.0

Fullmetal Alchemist - 8.0, 7.4, 8.7, 8.0

One Piece - 11.8, 11.9, 11.4, 11.9

Detective Conan - 14.1, 12.2, 13.6, 13.8

Doraemon - 13.5, - , 12.9, 10.6

But all these pale to one show...

Sazae-san - 20.1, 23.7, 21.1, 20.7... what show is this??! Check the following link...

Just go watch/read and find out. Unless you know us well in our tastes, our opinions might not be suitable for you (I'm on the pro-manga/anti-anime side :P ).

If you read the manga and find that you like/love for the characters, story, atmosphere & plot, you might likely start to hate/dislike/disappointed with the show after the first 5 episodes and more.

I tried to check the Sazae-san page but it gives me a blank page. Here is an alternative webpage. Seems to me this show is a anime classic. That's why it is populer in Japan.
