Bandai announced at Anime Expo that they have acquired and will be releasing Karakuri Kiden Hiwou Senki, the 3 Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation movies and .hack//Roots.

I guess this is good news for many who have been waiting for .hack//ROOTS to show up on normal TV, or at least DVDs. I know where my money will be going to soon. I think I'm going to need a job soon.

That's good news for everyone in the US and importers of R1 anime. I'm still waiting on the release of .hack//LotT here in the UK, has been delayed till next week or November

Have they mentioned when and what channel it will be on?

I don't think there has been a channel announced, but at Anime Expo ANN has it that Bandai pushing for the series to be on TV at the end of 2006 and on DVD in 2007. Most likely it will air a lot like the other anime, same channel and probably around the same time.

Thanks, hopefully the channels choosen are Cartoon Network and not channel 630 or 505.

ill probably skip watching Roots on TV and just buy the DVDs when they come out, after all, im probably gonna buy them anyways, and secondly the eps are probably gonna show like once a week and i kinda hate waiting, and i also hate how commercials show up right when things get interesting >.<

but cant wait to actually watch Roots since ive only seen the first ep >.>

I think that is awsome, hope it will release soon also in Germany, since all .hack// stuff has already been released here, I hope the dubs are good

That I shall as well, though I might be "stealing" from them now, doesn't mean I won't buy it when it comes to the states.

.hack//Roots has been licensed, hurray! Now I only have to wait two more years before it's cheap enough for my Canadian network to accquire!

Seriously, we only just got Fullmetal Alchemist a few months back. It's like I'm caught in a time warp.

xD Double edged sword, seeing as it's now illegal to download... but it's good that they're bring the franchise to America.

Subtitles are too small to read on my iPod...

CRtwenty · Post by **CRtwenty** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 4:05 pm

It's always been illegal to download, even before it was licensed.

Something tells me it's going to appear on Cartoon Network. .hack//SIGN and that other .hack anime appeared on it.

That's the one. There's Teletoon as well, but they prefer to air Canadian-made animation.
