SAIKO-EXCITING *UK TELEVISION PREMIERE*
Begins Saturday 6 July at 10am

Brighten-up your weekend with an awesome two-hour blend of computer games, cutting-edge animation, radical Japanese music videos and competitions all airing in Sci·Fi's new strand SAIKO-EXCITING. Fronted by the human face of anime, Sci·Fi's Seera, she's joined by Jonathan Clements, who offers the latest anime news updates, and gamer-guru Emily Newton-Dunn who gets to grips with Sci·Fi's brand new gaming show SFG.

For the first time ever in the UK, catch two of the most acclaimed anime series NEON GENESIS EVANGELION and MARTIAN SUCCESSOR NADESICO, much-
requested and eagerly awaited and at last, airing on TV! SAIKO-EXCITING also taps into the stylish world of Japanese music videos as Sci·Fi debuts some of the best examples of J-Pop never see before on UK television. Finally, competitions, interactivity and audience participation complete the two-hour line-up.

===========================================

Hopefully they'll also get around to updating there anime catalog and show some new stuff

 

Wow, that's great news!
I should seriously think about getting Digital TV now... Or I could try and get someone to tape it for me or something...
Thanks for posting it!

 

I see that there's no mention of Blue Gender -_-
I had a feeling that Blue Gender was the cause of the delay and it's a pity they seem to of dropped it from the schedule.

I hear the Eva dub suks and I already say it subbed on VCD, at least Nadesico is supposed to be pretty good (overlays aside)

 

hrm, i thought i heard eva had a good dub..

*shrug*

guess we will know soon enough

 

I know, I've heard a variety of reports regarding the dub too.
Most people seem to say that Gendo and Shinji's coice actors suk big time, but then I saw some review of the boxset by some US newspaper which said the 2 characters were acted brilliantly.

I'm inclined to blame the americans for being idiots.

 

heh, who isn't nowadays

apparently sci fi aren't showing any anime in the month of june, they are starving us so we will be well eager for what they are showing in july

ah well.. I guess i can wait...

 

It looks like it's actually gonna happen this time.
It's in the schedule for 10am-12 this coming Saturday.

 

neeto, me canna wait

just have to make sure that everyone in the houe understands the VCR is mine at the time...

 

I have no plans to be conscious at that hour so it's the VCR for me too.

Just spotted it's being repeated Sunday at 9am also.

 

oh crap
i just said that I would go to a lan party this weekend.. i forgot alla bout spriggan hehe

ah well, I have it on divx too i guess

 

That was pretty cool.
I didn't expect them to show EVA and Nadesico at that time of day at all. No idea how badly either of them were edited though, I missed EVA and I've never seen Nadesico before.

It's hard to say if Saiko with be on for long though, I doubt a show with Japanese music vids and weird stuff is going to be massively popular.
It's unlikely that Sci Fi has high viewing figures at that time in the morning anyway so maybe they will stick with it...

As usual Jonathan Clements rocked my world

 

nadesico was pretty badly cut... it wasn't terrible, but there were a few noticeable skips

thing is I don't see anything at ALL bad with what they cut.. from what I can recall

the eva dub is pretty terrible.. misato just sounds WRONG, shinji sounds cool.. but he isn't defeated enough.. he's pathetic alright, but has a bit too much spirit for my liking

the nadeiso dub sounds fairly cool, though,

all in all it was a pretty cool show

 

Just saw the EVA dub...one word for it...
SHITE
Not even one of the chara's sounds anything like their originals, it's the most inaccurate anime dubbing I've ever experienced.
The way some of the chara's come across is just plain wrong.
Shinji is far too happy sounding, Gendo doesn't sound anything like the unemotional Jap. version.

Misato sounds..well, just crap, the voice over for the next episode preview demonstrated this best of all.

I hate to say it but this dub is gonna totally ruin the show for me

 

aye, english voice actors seem like tehy aren't even TRYING sometimes..

*sigh*
