No anime at the NFT
===================

After fighting my way through some particularly grotty London weather to
get to today's screening of Utena: The Movie at the NFT, I was dismayed to
find that all the anime screenings that I reported last time have been
canceled. This was due to the film prints not arriving in time.

More anime on the Sci-Fi channel
================================

The Sci-Fi channel has revealed that it will be changing its Saturday
night anime slot from 4th May. Instead of showing a random movie each week,
they will be showing one episode a week of three TV series: 'Neon Genesis
Evangelion' at 24.00hrs, 'Martian Successor Nadeiso' at 00.30hrs and 'Blue
Gender' at 01.00hrs. All three series will last for 26 episodes.

Further information will be available shortly on the Sci-Fi website at
http://www.uk.scifi.com.
