I've heard somewhere that Sci-Fi Channel talked to Media Blasters about airing the Berserk anime on their network. Whether it's true or not I don't know. I'd personally like to see Berserk on American TV, even though it'll be edited. A run on TV would give Berserk even more fans. And it'll convince them to buy the manga. Any thoughts?

I'm not really interested in 20 10 minute episodes airing at 3am. ::)

In my opinion, there's no chance in hell and even in the (very) off chance that it did, it would edited to ridiculous proportions (or shown at some ungodly hour). It might as well not even be Berserk. Where did you find this information?
More fans of Berserk is not necessarily a good thing. Just take a look at some of the posts on this board by people who are so dumb it's almost painful to watch, that's what can happen with a surge in fanbase.
I don't know, to be honest, I really only like the Berserk manga anyway, the anime's not a huge concern. ^^;

Thats almost the worst idea ive ever heard, but it would be worse if it came on cartoon network! ::)
They couldnt air berserk on edited TV because too much of the story involves sexual content and bloodshed. Like on that last episode when caska is nude, they couldnt edit that because it had such a role to it. And Berserk wouldnt be Berserk without Blood

Hahaha, they could always convert it to barbie doll nudity (boobs w/ no nipples) like a bunch of other animes. And if you've seen uneditted and editted gundam wing, it's surprising how they can get rid of blood. It would never show up on cartoon network. sci-fi, i don't know, but i don't care to see it heavily editted really.

Wow. Is that info posted on Sci-Fi's website or what? I was talking to a guy from Media Blasters and the director of the English dub this weekend at AnimeNEXT, and they were saying that Berserk being aired on TV (on a channel like HBO, for example) would be GREAT for more Berserk (aka support for a 2nd season ala Big O!). If Sci-Fi showed it, I'm hoping they'd put a big ole warning before airing it and before coming back from commercial, and that they would show it at an appropriate time slot. More Berserk fans are a good thing!! I would get everyone I know to try and watch the damn thing!
It may have been Anime News Network, but I could be wrong. It was a while ago, and still nothing, so I have reason to beleive it really is nothing but a rumor.kimchan said:
I don't find it as farfetched as some people do, though. Afterall, this is Sci-Fi, not Cartoon Network. Sci-Fi has shown some pretty graphic things before, so I think if it is true, Berserk could air with minimal editing.

=Patiently awaiting return email from Media Blasters=
People at the panel I was at were suggesting HBO, but for some reason, I think Showtime would be more obliged to show it, since I think they actually do tend to show anime. They play Dirty Pair all the time but that's not exactly Berserk. I could ALMOST see TechTV airing it as well, since they have their late night AnimeUnleashed block...but now they show it during the afternoons as well. =shrug= Just have to wait and see...

Yeah I forgot about the whole uhh TECH tv thing. Technology oriented shows, and all...heh...heh...
You're right about Showtime not reaching as broad an audience as Sci-Fi. Berserk seems to fit quite well though...
Watch MTV picks it up, with all the sex reality shows and shit they put on...lol

They could have used another picture altogether, but nooo... Sheer stupidity at work.The Dragon Slayer said:On the back of Media Blasters' DVD 6, Roshinu's nipple is removed.
i was thinking disney channel....yeah right, thed turn it into some kinda happy ending with only 5 minutes of footage.
Id like to see it on Starz, or Encour, something like that.

Jesus cries when he looks at me.
I cant imagin Berserk being on the sci fi channel... most of their shows are about crap aliens with terrible background stories and terrible sets.
Except the Cube 1 and 2 of course... ::)

LEXX was, but in a good way.DarkBlademaster said:
Farscape was good stuff.
Stargate: SG-1 is fairly good.
Sci-fi does have a number of fantasy shows from time to time.

Berserk must be mine!
Sci fi stoped showing anime along time ago....at least in my area they did.
Didn't I see Fist of the North Star on Sci-Fi Channel when I was a kid, or am I mistaken?FateINwaiting said:
The Dragon Slayer said:
have you not seen their version of Fatal Fury? Or Akira? the latter has less blood then Berserk and yet Sci-fi decided to edit out the red juices altogether.
and Farscape rocked my face.
Sci-Fi Channel is showing Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I guess that's not necessarily considered anime, but it's a step closer to them picking it back up. 8)
