Update: We created the Animax Forum for Animax lovers like you and me. It is your forum to discuss Animax animes (past and present) and other popular animes like Dragonball Z etc. Please post all your comments and thoughts there.You will find lots of other Animax lovers there.

I am closing the comments section of this post for further comments as it has grown too large and also it is hard for users to browse two places. Please use the animax forum; it is exactly for this purpose.

Congratulations to indian_otaku for being the first member.


Flipping through TV channels in Chennai, I realized that only channels I can understand (not in Tamil) are Animax, Pogo (for kids), Splash (for kids), SAB and Sahara.

Never being a watcher of soaps, my only decent alternative was Animax.

I realized I have started to like quite a few of their serials. Here is my list in the order of liking:
1. Samurai X - story of Battousai’s life in post-slasher period and strength of conviction. Highly recommended. Very rich potrayal of characters, good storyline.

2. Get Backers - story of two friends who can get back almost anything. Again the characters are richly potrayed. May city gives me jitters.

3. Dan Detective School - story of a bunch of kids who learn being detectives. It is often stimulating for the mind to outguess the story teller.

4. Cyborg 009 - Story of 9 friends as cyborgs.

3. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - way too geeky even for me.

4. .Hack Sign - ok, all others are not watchable.

BTW: I happened to watch Wonder Woman on Pogo TV once briefly, flipping channel in horror, way too cheesy for my taste. Yuk!

Update: Please refer to the comments below for further information about your favorite Animax characters and feel free to leave your comment too.

PS. I hope Animax chooses better names for its serials. Some of the names are really lame.

Update: Mega XLR aired by Cartoon Network is mega-fun. Watch it. I am sure you will like it too.

Hello, maybe this is a bit off topic but in any case, I have been browsing around your blog and it is really astonishing. I’m making a new blog and I am pressured to make it seem great, and supply superior writings. I have explored a lot on your website and can’t wait for more updates and will be back.

I am a great fan of Princess sarah and Little women animes that were shown on animax and Sony in Hindi and english. I also like Heidi that was aired on cartoon network. I have tried very hard to find them but these are very rare animes and are not available on dvd in english. I hope the respective channels atleast air them once more…

Is it possible to replace some of the anime broadcasted in South Africa? Because some of them are getting boring. For instance Magister Negi Magi Negima, can’t the second season be showed for a change? Or Eureka Seven be replaced by a anime which wasn’t yet been showed?

well I like all the animes from animax but it would be weiser to have more shows coming up rather then repeating the same stuff again and again two times is ok but come on man we are bored we want more season 2’s and new animes.Point to be noted is all these japanese people have done the theme songs and other music for their anime’s really great.

hey there. is there anyway that they can show the second season of Black Lagoon and Mahou Sensei Negima, and put on Full Metal Panic( season 1), Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Astray or Stargazer (wichever is the continueing season of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed). Some reruns are great, but they eventually get boring. . .

BTW, they’ve just started airing DBZ ads on Cartoon Network…Looks like DBZ is coming back! Watch out for these adverts, they mostly show scenes from the Saiyan saga, and end with a “Coming soon”.
