Anime Network VOD Reports/Updates/Questions Thread (2016)

@gymanime

“Waiting on callback” - means that Anime Network rep has called your provider about the issue, but they haven’t called back with an update yet.

Also, please don’t post several replies in a row, use the edit post (pencil icon at the bottom of the post in the “,”).

Azumanga Daioh #12 was added last Monday/Tuesday if I remember correctly and as stated prior most of the other missing or skipped over titles were added within 24 to 72 hours of my notifying you via forum.

Again thank you for you responses and prompt fixes to the missing titles

Updates Received/Not Received 8/25/16 :: Time Warner Cable :: Albany, NY :: Zip Code 12203

The short version:

“All scheduled episodes received, including the first episode of Is the Hors d’Oeuvre a Rabbi?, the spinoff from Food Wars where Soma and his fellow Toutsuki Culinary Academy students join forces with a band of Hasidic Kabbalists and their mecha-golems to battle an invasion of cannibal demons from the Tokyo Subway system and–what was that? Oh. Yes, I see.”

“Sorry, it seems that’s a different show. This one is a heartwarming show about a coffee shop. A coffee shop run by cute cannibalistic middle school girls who warm the hearts in an oven set to 350 degrees and–ow! What was that for? You didn’t have to hit me!”

Yes, I did.
My apologies, guys. Never mind…

Notes:

  1. I found an anomaly in TWC’s program listings for Gatchaman Crowds: while everything on Ye Olde Cutting Edge seems to be fine, on the fancy new On Demand Portal and Search function, everything after episode 5 is listed under Gatchaman Crowds Season One–there’s even separate entries for Gatchaman Crowds and Gatchaman Crowds Insight that come back if you search for the show. So episodes 6, 7 and 8 are listed under Season One, complete with the titles and blurbs from the corresponding first-season episodes 6, 7 and 8. Episode 9, which showed up just fine on Cutting Edge, has not shown up yet on the new portal listings, though everything else from the 8/25 ship has. Even from this far outside the loop, I’m pretty darn sure that the system pulls the program title and blurb from the bundled episodes. If so, that points to problems on AN’s side. Since this kind of Old School/New School mismatch also showed up in–and may have been the cause of–the “Nobunaga”/Nobunaga/“Punchline”/Punchline debacle, I think it’s worth looking into…

Thanks!

I’m afraid that the window has closed on this episode. It expired on August 18 and cannot be re-pitched.

Reporting these missing episodes as soon as they occur will help us get them to you in a timely manner.

You should have received RIN-NE, Ep 7 & To LoveRu Darkness 2, Ep 8, this week.

I’ll pass that other info on to Administration. Thanks!

Sorry! As usual, easily distracted by bright shiny objects and my feeble attempts at wit (I write it down right on the sheet, and then somehow don’t type it in. Merde!)

Yes, I did receive Rinne #7 and To Loveru Darkness II #8.

As an aside, Gatchaman Crowds Insight #9 has shown up on the new portal side; like episodes 6 through 8, it’s listed under Season One, with Season One #9’s title and blurb.

Thanks!

Well, I don’t see any DTV reporters here yet, so I guess you’re stuck with me.
Full pull - everything’s here. Thanks to all who made it happen.

Frontier FIOs 90505 (CA)

The 10 missing episodes from 10 different shows that were deleted a week early were never added. At this time, I don’t expect them to be added since they were scheduled to be dropped today from the Frontier menu. However, the last message I received from a contact in Executive Escalations at Frontier today indicated they were still planning to work with the Anime Network to add these episodes - I noted in my email response this does not seem to be a practical approach.

The good news is this week’s new episodes have been added with no more surprise deletions. However, I’m guessing there are a few new episodes missing since the following shows only have 3 episodes listed on the menu.

Girls Beyond the Wasteland - menu lists Eps 02-04, missing new ep 05?
Re: Hamatora - menu lists Eps 08-10, missing new ep 11?
School Live! - menu lists Eps 03-05, missing new ep 06?
Space Brothers - menu lists Eps 83-85, missing new ep 86?
Special A - menu lists Eps 17-19, missing new ep 20?

Let me know if there are any updates from your contacts working with Frontier. Also, can you confirm if the shows listed above should have new episodes this week? Thank you.

I appreciate the link as it was very helpful. Based on the shows listed for addition this week, the following shows are missing from the Frontier menu.

Girls Beyond the Wasteland - Frontier menu lists Eps 02-04 so Ep 04 was actually added a week early (on 8/18 rather than 8/25) while Ep 01 was deleted prematurely and should still be on the menu until 9/1.

Re: Hamatora - missing new ep 11
School Live! - missing new ep 06
Space Brothers - missing new ep 86
Special A - missing new ep 20

Thank you.
