Zannen, Canada ·

2017/10/09

Netflix has committed to investing $500 million into a Canadian production studio over the next five years, but will this be enough to save Canadian media?

Zannen, Canada ·

2017/09/11

G4, G4TechTV, ZDTV... no matter what you call it, it had one of the most interesting evolutionary path of any channel on Canadian TV, and some of the most interesting anime selections. Does Anime Current stand the test of time? Jarvis and I try to get to the bottom of that.

Zannen, Canada ·

2017/06/02

Under the localized title "Albator," the 1978 series was once a massive social phenomenon in French-speaking Canada. What made this show resonate so strongly with people?
