Anime on American TV Question
Terrence Briggs
"mistreatment" from Cartoon Network, I've been trying to chart the
sheer volume of anime on US television during this recent Pokemon-
spawned boom (1999-present).
Obviously, I started with anime-on-tv:
http://www.animeontv.com/mg/anime_tv_history.htm
A primer, but it's obviously incomplete, since it stops in the year
2000:
1960s
Astro Boy (1963)
8th Man (1965)
Gigantor (1966)
Prince Planet (1966)
Marine Boy (1966)
Kimba the White Lion (1966)
Speed Racer (1967)
The Amazing 3 (1967)
Battle of the Planets (1978)
Star Balzers (1979)
Force Five (1980)
SuperBook (1982)
Thunderbirds 2086 (1983)
Tekkaman the Space Knight (1984)
Voltron: Defender of the Universe (1984)
TranZor Z (1985)
Macron 1 (1985)
Robotech (1985)
Captain Harlock and the Queen of 1000 Years (1985)
Saber Riders and the Star Sheriffs (1987)
Dragon Warrior (1990)
Teknoman (1995)
Ronin Warriors (1995)
Sailor Moon (1995)
Dragon Ball (1995)
Eagle Riders (1996)
Samurai Pizza Cats (1996)
Dragon Ball Z (1997)
Pokemon (1998)
Digimon (1999)
Monster Rancher (1999)
Flint: Time Detective (2000)
Gundam Wing (2000)
Tenchi Muyo (2000)
Sailor Moon S and SuperS (2000)
Card Captors (2000)
Detective Conan (2000)
Blue Submarine 6 (2000)
Vision of Escaflowne (2000)
Pokemon GS (2000)
I'll worry about the particulars (such as ratings, viewership,
editing) later. I just want to compile, for the USENET archives, an
official list of anime series aired on US TV.
Help? Thanks. I'll check back with y'all next month.
Terrence Briggs, disappointed with Wall-E's meager $220 million box
office tally. What's wrong with you people? :-)
Peace to you...

Princess Knight was aired in test markets but never in general
release. Hana No Ko Lun Lun had 3 episodes spliced together
and was released on HBO as the movie "Angel". Sci Fi channel
had anime movies on Sat morning, I think back in the 1990s;
it was the VHS era, anyway.

Why not go to the Adult Swim site itself: http://www.adultswim.com/shows/
for a list of anime that they have shown? (Look under the "Action" tab.)
Or else go to the Cartoon Network site:
http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/all_shows/index.html and page through
the "Shows" screens.
When you want the broadcast dates, check out the individual shows on ANN.

I seem to recall Sci-Fi Channel showing the 90s version of Tetsujin
28-go (Gigantor) on early mornings (they also showed Galaxy High School
for a very short time). There was also a show back around 1980 or so
that showed on one of the early cable channels, I think it was called
Sport Billy, that looked very much from Japan (the situation
seemed to involve a couple of Greek deities (I think Athena was there)
helping a boy excel in all sports). It's been so long I forget the
particulars.
Of course, there was that atrocious movie that showed a few times on
cable called After the Apocalypse, which spliced cheezy (as in
Velveeta) live footage with Angel's Egg...
just me
Are you including the stuff on Comcast's On Demand?

Sport Billy-- only saw it once in an early 80's incarnation of the USA
Network's Cartoon Express.

Didn't Filmation do Sport Billy or a version of it?
I recall that the main characters were Sport Billy and his sister Sport
Lily (ugh), sent from the "planet Olympus" to spread the gospel of good
sportsmanship... or something.

Interestingly, it shows why there's few anime fans over 40. While there are
a few shows that came out in the 60s, anime didn't really become cool until
Star Blazers came out. It was like a drama when almost all American
animation were like sitcoms.

See, this is why I'm glad I asked USENET. I didn't even consider
adding syndicated film airings (such as Austin's Ghibli film
broadcasts, DC's late-night anime film airings, etc.). Local anime
broadcasts shouldn't be excluded. If you want to add that stuff, for
the sake of completeness, feel free. If I can open up a TV Guide and
see anime as part of the listings, I might as well add it to the pile.
My highest priority right now is the nationally syndicated stuff. In
the end, I want to be able to present some data as to how much anime
was actually available to US TV audiences.

Well, if we're gonna include that, then I'm gonna have to air the
International Channel's Sunday night airings of subtitled Princess
Rogue, Earthian, Dragon Ball Z (unsubbed), and the like.

That's what makes the 60s, 70s and some of the 80s stuff particularly
difficult. Many of the syndicated shows depended upon what local channels
one received. If the local channel decided not to air the stuff then you
never saw it.

More importantly it tied in with Star Wars perfectly :)
It's that 10 year gap before Star Blazers that's interesting, though. I
know the Japanese film industry sort of imploded in the early 70's
(with the TOHO studio system dying), but no one in the US found a
Japanese series that could be adapted for less then the cost of
animating a new domestic one? Damn, but HB must have really low balled
the budgets....

I'm sure the name "Star Blazers" was given to it deliberately to make it
seem like a Star Wars clone. It could even be argued that the current anime
fandom in NA was in a large part due to Star Wars.

The Korean and Vietnam wars could have had some effect. I wouldn't be
surprised if the first anime came because of exposure by Americans during
that time. But strong Americanism ("Buy American") and numerous studios
producing during the 70s likely kept foreign product limited. And much of
the stuff run during the 70s was stuff created during the 60s (especially HB
stuff), but there wasn't enough American animation from the 50s to fill
those gaps.
Then there's technology to consider. The 80s had smaller VCRs which meant
dubbing was cheaper and easier to do because it was easier to transfer
material. And the 80s also had computers which made syncing a little easier.
Although you'd still need a mainframe in those days for that level of
processing, modems, electronic mail and of course FAX machines existed which
could make transferring translations about easier and cheaper.

I'll credit Star Wars for moving the entertainment industry toward fun
in place of "relevance." But I think the breakthrough for anime came
when Sailor Moon appeared in the Saturday morning network lineup. Its
success led the nets to bring in more, and the product tie-ins helped.
About the same time, cable channels started showing anime movies. I
recall seeing Nausicaa (or whatever they retitled it) on HBO about 20
years ago and thinking "Where did *this* come from?" Then it took a
small group of strange people to go find the original Japanese material
and start fansubbing it. And as someone else pointed out, we needed new
computer technology for that.

In fall 1978, studios wanted a Star Wars-grabbing series FAST, and
American cartoon studios just weren't on the ball yet--
We got the occasional Darth-masked villain in Saturday morning series,
but US mainstream cartoons were still too rooted in what worked for
1975-76. (Scooby-Doo, superheroes, etc.)
Imports were grabbed on the basis that they had been doing spaceships a
few years before spaceships were cool, and had enough episodes
backlogged to strip-syndicate (and afternoon strip-syndication was still
a new invention, as it'd only been around since '74)...
And importers believed that as long as the characters didn't "look"
Asian, a name-rewrite here and there could fix any possible cultural
problems, and, like Speed Racer, no one would HAVE to know it was foreign.

At the time, Sailor Moon was coattailing on the ability for Power
Rangers to be culturally white-washed for mainstream syndication--
Anything marketed for boys had to be marketed "for girls", too, and even
without that Saban thing (thank you, it's been mentioned), even DiC's
own early sales-pilots clearly weren't *as* interested in international
understanding:

And even Nausicaa was marketed with a certain...*familiar* emphasis at
the time, back in the Streamline days:

Um, Sailor Moon was a syndicated flop in the US :) I understand it did
well in Canada, but here it often got shoved into a 6 AM weekday slot
(the same place Exosquad went here in Buffalo once that started
syndication-only episodes). It was Cartoon Network starting to show
series, first already released ones then "new" stuff like Gundam Wing
that was the breakthrough. Anime has failed on the broadcast networks
for the most part, apart from the kiddy stuff.

No, it was Pokemon that brought in the product tie-ins.

True story: at an sf convention in the early 1980s, probably a
Boskone, I was walking down a hallway in the con hotel and passed an
room in which a crowd of people were watching a tape of an animated
sf drama[1] -- someone had actually hauled in a VCR machine and
hooked it up to the hotel room's tv.
The door was open so I watched for a few minutes and was _really_
impressed at the work that someone had put into crafting an alien
language for the characters' dialogue. And then I realized that I
was just hearing the original Japanese.
*1: I didn't know the word 'anime' back then.

"Japanimation" was cool in the early 90's, until the name became too
association-linked with hideously white-washed Carl Macek Streamline
dubs, and seemed too mainstream--
That, and dopey non-fans and outsider-trolls thinking it stood for "Jap
animation". (Geez, that was annoying!)
More the former than the latter, however. Just like the "Trekkies" vs.
"TrekkERS" thing.

Oz no Mahōtsukai, AKA The Wonderful Wizard of Oz anime from 1986 aired
on HBO from 1987 to 1990, dubbed in English. I have fond memories of
watching this show before school in the late eighties (of course, from
the fact that I often mention this show here and no one else ever
seems to, I must be the only one).

Now that you mentioned it, I went to look it up, and this seems to be the
same Wizard of Oz I was watching on one of the local TV stations myself in
about the same timeframe. I remember liking it very much, and I may still
have it taped somewhere (though no way to check that, as we haven't had a
VCR for more than 10 years now).

I think HBO also aired some of the World Masterpiece anime and
Nick aired some anime based on Grimm's fairytales and some other
random anime.

There was also the Rankin Bass series, "Tales from the Wizard of OZ" which
played on TV. But that aired more around the 60s and 70s and there's a very
obvious difference in animation style.

Basically most of the Streamline catalog (yes, including that dopey
"cockroach" thing), the main A-ko/Beautiful Dreamer marketing horses for
CPM (including a great "excerpt" preview for UY:BD to explain to
neophytes), "EYES of Mars" because it was public domain, and isolated
segments of "Robot Carnival" whenever they needed ten to twenty minutes
of filler at the end.
But then, SFC was a simpler, more innocent place, back then... :(
