You all are planning on dropping Funimation? This is a very dumb move imo. You have a ton of people that are Verizon Fios customers solely for this channel. This is the only channel you are able to watch "real" anime and I along with alot of people from what I see just googleing "Fios to drop funumation" came here mainly for that channel. There are NO real anime channels beside this, how could the ratings possibly be that low. This channel is no lie on at my house at least 8 hours a day. This is the channel that runs even while I am on my pc not watching TV. Go find another "actual" crappy channel to cut. I can't imagine many people watch cartoon network anymore now that Adult Swim is filled with stupid shows a 4 year old could do a better job on and comedies that are the dumbest thing I have ever seen. If you cut this channel Verizon I asure you, that you will lose ALOT of customers.
As people have stated, there are plenty of other channels that could go.. i doubt keeping funimation channel is going to make a diffrence in keeping our bills down.. besides , since when does verizon even care how much we're paying for the service, i have 5 set-top boxes in my home, all of them which have funimation channel running most of the time, Funimation channel, Adult swim, ID channel, Fuel TV, TNT, USA, AMC and G4 are the only channels i watch, and from what i've seen in your channel lineup, i'm not missing much at all.
I don't have a contract with verizon atm, so i can and i will cancel if this channel goes. according to you guys i can just watch the funimation episodes on funimation's website, may as well just pay for a T1 connection then i'll have no need for verizon, i can just watch all the TV i want online.
I waited for years to get fios, mostly for the funimation network, plus better than cable. As soon as i get the **bleep** thing, they take out my favorate channel. The Anime Network is a joke, just a bunch of VOD content, plus you can only see a few episodes, so its impossible to watch a whole series. I could watch it online, but there are times I am working at home and I just want somehting on for background noise and occasional entertainment. I live on this channel.
FIOS does not understand that there is a small ,but very loyal fanbase for this channel. The can lose subscibers over this, and if i find another provider that has the channel, I'll be on of them.
I knew this was coming. I bought my son the Black Butler series & the Chobits series for Christmas gifts.
And a Black Butler t-shirt.
Companies never seem to know when to leave things alone.
Funimation Channel stays on constantly in my home & it has even inspired my son to want to learn Mandarin Chinese.
There are plenty of other channels Fios can cut & I am not talking about Cartoon Network or Boomerang.
I only keep my bundle because of Funimation Channel & BBC America.
Verizon fios should not take away funimation because its the only channel for anime. This is my opinion. You should let people decide if they want funimation in their programming.
If funimation gets taken away:
Just by seeing this message and many others I hope you reconsider taking away funimation.
pl. don't remove funimation you have more channells to play with so play with channell like mtv, 18, 24, 26,to 30
so i can have a show to came home from work i like to watch big windup, yu yu hakusho, basilisk, phantom,
