Anime UK News quizzes Rapture on new TV show Anime Nation

With RaptureTV’s immediate future on Sky Digital now confirmed as safe, Anime UK News recently pitched a few questions over to them about their all new weekly anime themed TV show “Anime Nation”.What encouraged RaptureTV to produce Anime Nation? Anime is still a fairly niche market in the UK, so investing in such a programme could be seen as a gamble.

RaptureTV: I think the popularity of Anime is growing and growing, certainly FMA (Fullmetal Alchemist), Wolf’s Rain, and Mezzo DSA which are on our channel have been a big success for us and our viewers. Anime-Nation which is made for them and what they’re into, might be a gamble when compared to more popular subjects, but we are willing to take that risk for our viewers.Click here to read more, including the news that the first few episodes of Anime Nation will feature interviews with American dub voice actors Greg Ayres and Monical Rial.
