Viz, T3 Networks Partner to Market Anime for TV

[† RazorDan]

The media licensing and distribution company T3 Networks Inc. announced on Thursday that it signed an agreement with the anime distributor Viz Media for television and film distribution. T3 Networks will market titles on Viz Media's behalf to television companies and other venues looking for programming content.

T3 Networks said that it "will leverage its relationships, technologies and processes to help expand upon the television distribution landscape with selected Viz Media series." The company named Naruto Shippūden, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Inuyasha: The Final Act, Naruto, Death Note, Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva, and Vampire Knight as titles it will market.

T3 Networks also owns the promot.tv social website, which works to distribute and monetize "independent films, sports, documentaries, shorts and genres of all types."

Naruto aired on Cartoon Network between 2005-2009, and its sequel, Naruto Shippūden, began airing on Disney XD in October 2009. Death Note aired on Adult Swim from 2007-2008.

Sounds like more anime might be dubbed sooner but what does this mean for us anime fans.

Please tell me this means that more mature anime will someday be broadcast prime time now, I hate that as it is, most shows worth watching are broadcast past midnight or early in the morning, people like me are usually way too tired at the end of the day to stay up that late.
