I was browsing All 4 and discovered they are now showing free anime. I thought i'd share this in case people don't know and perhaps anime on All 4 will be a regular thing the more people who watch it.

Channel 4’s streaming service – All 4 – looks set to delight fans with 100 hours of Anime series, to be made available for free this Autumn, with the first 10 series to be released, Friday 25 October.

The 14 titles in the collection, comprising 285 dubbed episodes, have been selected to showcase Anime’s diverse range of styles and story-telling. The collection includes introductory titles such as Tokyo Ghoul, Megalo Box and Persona 5: The Animation; nostalgic classics like Cowboy Bepop, Cardcaptor Sakura and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin; and fan favourites including Gurren Lagann, Kill La Kill and Durarara!!

    I remember watching Akira in the late 1980's or early 1990's. God did it mess with my brain! Can't get to grips with Japanese Anime.

    The film was only part of the story, it didn't really make complete sense (generally speaking) without reading the manga, even with that in mind it was still an amazing film & arguably it was too good because not much else ever lived up to it back in the day.

    There are pliantly of anime that are easily accessible, you just need to find the right ones.

    The Japanese written language is (partially) derived from Chinese and they read in columns starting from the right.

    I didn't realise they were all dubbed, apart from the Ghibli's, I cannot stomach dubs with American voices, so irritating & it completely changes the feel of a show/film.

    I watched the life out of all of the manga that was on CH4 back in the 90's on a Saturday night. Fist of the North Star, Vampire Hunter D, Legend of the Four Kings (which had the crappiest ending ever), and the absolutely amazing Cyber City OEDO 808 (that soundtrack ).
    Awesome memories. (edited)

    This is great, and I hope it's something that takes off on All 4! I had noticed it a few weeks back but nice to spread the word.

    I cannot recommend Cowboy Bepop highly enough! I watched the series a couple of years ago and despite hearing good reviews I wasn't expecting much - I couldn't believe how good it was, it's one of those shows that you never want to end!

    So true about the memories.
    Add to that Crying Freeman, Wicked City, Ninja Scroll...

    You should look on YouTube for the Japanese Blu-Ray rip with the US OST dubbing. It's a *real* shame that they only ever made three episodes of OEDO 808. It had a crazy amount of potential as the scripting was brilliant.

    Just bought Jin Roh collector's blu ray. The completely serious end of anime. I think they remade that as live action recently too. Need to buy Royal Space Force soon too as I read it was a limited run.

    Nice. I'll be having a look.

    It's a shame they're all dub. I much prefer subtitles and the original character voices. Having said that, when I first watched Bebop I preferred the dub.

    I'm going to give Gundam a go. Such a massive show, that somehow never made my DVD collection.

    Heat added.

    Thanks op. I don't watch Channel 4, so I'd have missed this.

    Yeah i remember setting up my vhs to record these. I never got to find out how it ended as my vhs would randomly not record sometimes. I did find every episode to be pretty much the same as the last if i remember right.
