VIZ Media announced early this week that they have plans to create a 24-hour anime channel titled Neon Alley. The new channel will be debuting on game consoles this fall and will be available in the U.S. and Canada.
Neon Alley will be subscription-based and will be presented with limited commercial advertising. The new channel will be provided at $6.99 a month. It's set to provide a variety of anime uncut, dubbed into English and presented in HD (when available). Programming will include Naruto Shippuden, InuYasha: the Final Act, Death Note, Tiger & Bunny, Berserk: the Golden Age Arc, Zetman, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan and more. Original content such as behind-the-scenes and news will be provided as well.
As apart of the Neon Alley partnership, Aniplex USA announced at their Anime Expo panel that Blue Exorcist will be dubbed and will be completed in September in time for the launch of the new service. Bryce Papenbrook (Masaomi Kida of Durarara!! and Zidane Tribal in Dissidia: Final Fantasy) will voice Rin with Johnny Yong Bosch (Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach and Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass) to provide the voice of Yukio.

I find it funny. Why do you people see the link, go to this page, just to trash the dubs? I mean, people have their opinions, I respect that, but really? :/ I'm not trying to seem hateful, but some people like SOME dubs(Deadman Wonderland was one anime, I WILL say the dub was awful for). I, personally, accept this, and await its release. And if you like subs, then go sign in on Hulu, and watch it. Or buy the dvds, that are subtitled. Just stating my opinion...
i hate dubs!! >:( why pay that each month when the anime is free??
Ughhh, although this is anime and not music...
It's really disappointing. Having only dubs is a bit... eh. It doesn't cater to the more serious anime fans, and as time goes on the anime selection will have more things that a lot of the more casual people will have never heard of.
I would buy if it wasn't dubbed, and if it (looked like) has a larger range of anime. Sooo streaming / bluray still wins
If they have this for Comcast i shall order this channel. and nuu! I don't wanna see a blue exorcist dub! ;-;
oh yeah I still haven't watch it so I'll probably watch it then
Beyond awesome, very interesting development!
sounds interesting.... but i like the original voices,even though i cant understand them withourt subs
ew dubs
im sorry..
I Wanna Voice Act It!!!
I want to do Rin's voice!
You can do Yukio!
Loving the voice actor choice already.
Wouldn't pay for it like that though, I'm fine with toonami....
They should add Blue Exorcist to it!
That would fit perfectly lol
