Anime Unleashed was an anime block that is broadcast on the American cable TV network, G4. The block was placed on the original TechTV in early 2003 and moved to G4techTV after the two networks merged. Titles airing on the block almost exclusively came from domestic anime distributors ADV Films, Bandai and Geneon (formerly Pioneer Animation). As of March 16th 2006 Anime Unleashed has been taken off of the G4 schedule. It is unknown if it will be just for a short period of time or if G4 has decided to end the show.

In late March G4 aired commercials to hype up for new episodes of some of their shows for April-May. In the commercial there seems to be a clip of anime which could possibly hint to that Anime Unleashed will be returning.


In April it was discovered that during the opening for the commercial that G4 is/was using to hype up the new episodes of their shows for April-May, if you look carefully you can see the Anime Unleash logo flash quickly. If you view the commercial and make it go frame by frame you can see it the logo perfectly.


Recently it was announced by one of the shows producers (who post under the name Teggy on the G4 message board) that there would be an upcoming statement about the current status of the show.


Here is a list of some of the programming that appears as part of Anime Unleashed:

Anime on TV (1466 words)
While it is debatable as to whether these changes ruined or improved the anime, it is undeniable that it gave Anime the one thing it needed most to make it in the American market: exposure.
Anime clearly meant for older audiences, such as Crest of the Stars and Serial Experiments Lain, have both seen unedited runs on the US networks who have recognized the older audience and fan desires, while on the more youth oriented CN, The Big O, Dragonball, and Yu Yu Hakusho all saw minimal edits.
The only remaining hurdle to making Anime a force in America, is the crumbling of the mindset of animation as a kids only area of entertainment.
