Well it has been a few months now when Animax has "tweaked" their schedule to include reality shows.
Afte a week of so of actively irritating DSTV reps, we have received the following reply:

Hi all,

Please see Animax's feedback on some of your queries and comments:

Thanks for taking the time to provide us with feedback.

As you know, over the course of the last number of months, ANIMAX has made a number of schedule tweaks to optimize the programming schedule. While we appreciate that not all programs on ANIMAX appeal to all viewers and our intent in evolving the schedule – to offer a range of exciting reality/live action programming, in addition to animé – is to appeal to a broader South African audience. While we are sorry that you are disappointed with the changes on the channel, overall, the result of refreshing the schedule with this new programming, has generally proven to be a big success with viewers.

Our programming schedule is constantly evolving and, while we don’t have any new animé series to announce at this time, you can keep updated about our programming by logging on to www.animaxtv.co.za.

A bit of fob off if you ask me.
Then it was highlighted that there are was a very similar letter sent in November.:rolleyes:

Hi
Here's a response from Animax to some of the earlier questions on this thread.


Thanks for taking the time to provide us with feedback.

As you have seen, over the last number of months, ANIMAX has made a number of tweaks to optimize the programming schedule -- offering a range of exciting reality/live action programming. While we are sorry you are not keen on these changes, the range of new programming has generally proven to be a big success with viewers.

For background, ANIMAX currently has 52 episodes of Bleach under license and, now that we have aired all of these – as of November 6 – we have refreshed the timeslot with Black Lagoon and are offering encore presentations of Bleach in an alternate timeslot.

While we currently, we have no plans to license additional episodes of the Bleach, which is currently still in production in Japan, we have passed along your feedback to our programming team for their consideration.

While we don’t have any plans to license Naruto, we have passed along all your feedback to our programming team for their consideration.

So it seems that reality shows being repeated until my eyes bleed "has generally proven to be a big success with viewers."

As always.
DSTV offers so much more!
:rolleyes:
 
Animax have now gone from having non-anime shows to having non-anime movies. I mean really what is the f'n point, And people wonder why we download. To call multichoice retarded would be an insult to disabled folk
 
Totally agree, if they want to call it Animax then show Anime for heaven sake!
Its a niche channel, not VUZE 2.
Comparing our version of this channel with other countries is like night and day.
Keep up the terrible work Multichoice !:sick:
 
I stopped watching Animax when they decided to put Bromance on ... what a F'ing gay show!!!
 
I can understand the japanese reality shows as it has to do with the whole japanese culture, but shows like next and solitary have nothing to do with anime and it baffles me as to why its on the channel. Sony, who owns animax need a kick up their arses.
 
Ahhh yes, remember when they actually showed anime on that channel? Seems like ages ago... pity, the channel had such promise. Now it's sucky reality crap practically 24/7. Reminds me of what happened to the old SciFi channel. And look what happened to that one.
 
I miss my Anime shows,fcking idiots in control of animax is showing teeny crap:angry:
 
On a sidenote, just watched dennou coil and full metal panic fumoffu, two shows we will most likely never see on ani/reality-max. If you guys are anime fans you guys should definatly watch those, quality anime.
