Anime Network VOD Reports/Updates/Questions Thread (2011)

Albany, NY Zip codes: 12201, 12202, 12203, 12204, 12205, 12206, 12207, 12208, 12209, 12210, 12211, 12212, 12214, 12220, 12222, 12223, 12224, 12225, 12226

Take your pick, they’re all going to be the same TWC hub. And, everything missing on that list I’m missing, plus a few more.

Cogeco L6K3R6:

All scheduled content received on time. I know, go figure. The episode naming conventions are erratic and episode descriptions are randomly omitted, but I’d be a fool to try to fight that battle…

Speaking of which, is any explanation forthcoming for the partial delivery of series (Angel Beats 1-4 and Yozakura 1-2 leap to mind)? While I’m glad to see content, I’d rather not be teased like this.

And just to satisfy my curiosity, will any Glass Mask episodes after #26 be appearing eventually? The full series goes up to #51.

Unfortunately, still working on that Angel Beats!, Hell Girl: Two Mirrors, Yozakura Quartet deal.

Sales of Glass Mask were poor and Sentai did not pick up the rest of it.

Received everything that was scheduled.

And speaking of schedules, was there finally any reply coming from AN HQ about the “*Pay full price and receive a fraction of the new content~!” *problem ?

I know you ask them regularly Slowhand and I appreciate it, but this has been an ongoing demand for two months. What are they doing?

I guess we’ll see when the December shceudles will come up.

Did you receive your November 3 update? I can’t find anything that says you did.[/quote]

The update from November 3rd came up fine. The only weird thing that happened was that Coicent showed up twice for a day or two but I didn’t think it was worth mentionning.

I apologize for the late report, but I’ve received all episodes from the Nov 17 update. I hope you got word on the three anime series soon because they were cool. However, I am shocked we’re not going to see any more Glass Mask. I actually liked the show. What a drag. Here’s hoping they change their mind on showing the rest of it.

As usual, ditto everything SpaceCobraJoe says in his excellent, exhaustive report.

Thanks, rebecca! In my case, it’s 12203.

Five Numbers is also missing.

Yozakura Quartet also hasn’t advanced past episode 2, and the reprise of Angel Beats didn’t advanced past …hmm… I think it was episode 3, but I can’t check that, since the last episodes that were loaded have rolled off the system already. (Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention the second time around.) However, since these series aren’t on the official schedule on the site, I wasn’t sure whether to report that or not.

Thanks again…

11/17/2011 UPDATES:
All updates received

** Yozakura Quartet, Hell Girl Season 2, and Angel Beats (sub):

there is some kind of error in the scheduling, no one is recieving these right now **

Further update on TWC 13215: Friday afternoon Maid-Sama 2 was available. Since then nothing else has come through. I’m a little annoyed especially with losing the last two episodes of Glass Maiden.

I have anime network on entertainment on demand through time warner cable. I have been watching Kobato, and for the past couple weeks, episode 5 has been missing. Right now, it is up to episode 7, and I have not seen episode 5 up there at all. Does anyone know why this episode has been skipped? Can something be done about this please?

joeyw wrote:

I don’t know why it was skipped, but you’re not the only one who is missing that episode.

I’ll add you on to my report, but the shows for that date (Oct 27) are set to expire Nov 23, so I’m not sure that much can be done at this point. But I’ll give it a shot.

The report for the last week & all follow-ups was compiled and sent to Anime Network today.

DirecTV 46544, Indiana

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. Unfortunately, the fact you’re hearing from me means that things didn’t go as smoothly as last week. As of 12:20 am E.S.T., only 3 out of 11 expected programs have showed up:

Hidamari Sketch BigWord #9
Kobato #9
Maid Sama #3

Eight programs haven’t made it yet, although Pet Shop of Horrors doesn’t appear to be on TAN’s DTV schedule for today. Then again, there have been other misteaks on that page this month, so who knows? The missing:
Croisee #4
Gintama #15 & 16
Kampfer #4
MSAA #8 (By the way, what’s with the hillbilly accents in this show?)
Pet Shop #5 (maybe not scheduled?)
To Love Ru #6
Tytania #8
You’re Under Arrest #215 & 216 (per DTV’s episode numbering)

I’ll be traveling later today, so probably won’t check back in until late tonight or Friday AM.
