Anonymous File :-(, x)
A few years ago some series actually got airtime, but only a few of the most popular series, primarily targeted at young kids. Sailor Moon, Pokémon, Sakura. The series were heavily butchered, and consistently stopped airing halfway. How they butchered Sakura especially hurt, since it was so painfully obvious, even to me, and I hadn't seen the original yet. Like all series, it was cancelled halfway through. Also the theme songs were done in a rather mediocre fashion, although the voice acting was generally better than that of English dubs. Currently, no anime is aired on Dutch television. Films on DVD are almost impossible to get, only Ghibli stuff lies on the shelves. Nothing wrong with Ghibli, but still... Sometimes MTV aires something worth watching, but only rarely. Of course, if you're into hentai (eroanime) you've got a wide spectrum of choices in the local video shop. No, you don't even need to go to an erotica store. Go figure. Unfortunately I hate hentai. All in all the situation is pretty hopeless. Or it would have been, were it not for the fact that broadband internet is extremely cheap over here. There, I managed to end my post on a positive note :-)
