Anime on US cable TV

[Bernardi-Buralli]

Our cable TV (TimeWarner) guide just came in with characters from "Spirited
Away," "Dragon Ball Z, "Yu-Gi-oh!" and that perky little Pikachu on the
cover. There are 4 pages on "How Japanese Animation is Conquering America"
(cover copy), and on the last page I noticed a little blurb that says
"Spirited Away" will premiere on PPV June 12.

For whatever it is worth, the "Ten anime essentials" that they (Scott
Barwick) list as possibly providing "some clues" over the future of an anime
feature going mainstream are:

Akira (1988)
Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Galaxy Express 999 (1978)
Metropolis (2001)
Alakazam the Great! (1961)
The Last Unicorn (1982)
Perfect Blue (1997)
Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
Otaku no Video (1992)
