TV Listings Explanation
|
|
|
|
I decided to compile the TV listings, as given in the English paper,
|
|
Japan Times. The advantage is that these are daily listings that give
|
|
the anime show names in English. The disadvantage is that these are
|
|
daily listings (which means that a special showing of a half-hour
|
|
episode that never gets shown again, is difficult to differentiate from
|
|
a regular series that gets shown once a week,) and many times the
|
|
listings simply identify a show as "cartoon", without a series title.
|
|
I did this because I can not read the titles given in Animage.
|
|
I've only been able to watch Japanese TV, in the Kanto area (Tokyo
|
|
and surrounds) since mid-July, and haven't been able to identify some
|
|
of the shows called "cartoon" either because I haven't watched them yet,
|
|
or I can't figure out the kanji for the names.
|
|
Either way, this is just a guide to what's on Japanese TV, in the
|
|
three main regions in Japan. Japan Times also gives TV listings for UHF
|
|
and cable stations, but these are ALL just "cartoon", with no actual
|
|
titles. If the show starts at a time like 9:55, then it is just a five
|
|
minute short aimed directly at small children, and is ignorable.
|
|
First thing to note is that Tokyo is not the best place to watch
|
|
anime on TV -- Osaka and Kyoto are (Kansei area.) (Kansei had Yawara!,
|
|
Dr. Slump, and City Hunter re-runs, and Nagoya has The Dirty Pair on
|
|
Saturdays.)
|
|
Second, lots of the shows are for children, and are comparable with
|
|
American Saturday morning fare. The main difference is in the subject
|
|
matter covered (a greater amount of sexual and toilet jokes,) in
|
|
Japanese kiddie shows, and the fact that the western cartoons talk down
|
|
to their audience a lot more.
|
|
Third, "Cartoon" seems to be a title that has been expanded enough to
|
|
include "Ultraman" (at least in part,) and stop-motion toy boats.
|
|
However, most of the "cartoons" labelled in the paper have been the
|
|
cel-based animation that we have come to call anime.
|
|
Fourth, EVERYTHING takes a backseat to baseball. If a game is to be
|
|
televised at some particular day and time, even the weekly showings of
|
|
new TV series episodes will be pre-empted. Dragon Ball Z is the ONLY
|
|
exception.
|
|
|
|
My capsule reviews are contained in a different file, and are only
|
|
for the stuff shown in Tokyo.
|
|
|
|
Also, if a particular TV entry is in parenthesis, then it just appeared
|
|
in the TV listings for the first time, and I can't tell yet if it is a
|
|
special showing, or part of the regular line-up that hadn't been listed
|
|
before. But, the Kansei-area TV stations has changed a lot of their July
|
|
line up to something else for each new month, but since I can't watch those
|
|
shows, I can't really verify the current listings.)
