FUNimation announced that the FUNimation Channel is now available nationwide on the Comcast digital cable service. The FUNimation Channel will offer free and paid titles, which are available through Comcast's The Cutting Edge and Movie & Events sections, respectively. The free titles currently include the following titles:

  • Ouran High School Host Club
  • Aquarion
  • Mushi-Shi
  • Black Blood Brothers

Currently, the FUNimation Channel's pay-per-view content includes the following:

  • D. Gray-Man
  • Devil May Cry
  • xxxHOLiC
  • Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle

Over the summer, FUNimation plans to add Viz titles to the network, including Honey & Clover and Nana. FUNimation also plans to add their newer properties, including Heroic Age, Murder Princess, and Romeo x Juliet.

The FUNimation Channel is a 24/7 on-demand network, much like ADV's Anime Network. The network was rolled out in select areas in January, though today marks the first time that the FUNimation Channel is available nationwide.
