I would please like to ask a favor from all of the South African Anime fans to partake in this opinion poll about the DSTV Animemax channel. The reason for these questions is to ascertain what the watching demography is for the Animax and whether the current programming and re runs is undoing the good the channel initially did in the beginning.
The opinion poll will run for one month exactly starting from the 6th of March 2008 up to and including the 6th of April 2008. After the closing date all the information will be gathered and the results will be posted in due course.
So please take the time to read through all of the 12 questions that I provided, and try to answer them in as much details as possible. You can either give your reply to the questions via the forums you post on regularly, Facebook or on Anime Life And Everything Else. And for those who don’t have access those they can mail me there answers to: larcho@ananzi.co.za.
And just maybe we can hand this to the bunch of people who run Animax and DSTV and show them what is happening to there own channel.

Where did you hear about Animax, and please specify.
Are you satisfied with Animax’s programing schedule?
I think their is to many reruns on the sameday and viewing all the programs is done in less than 3hours and some shows (other the Elfien Lied and other none PG shows) are shown to late.
Do you prefer subs over dubs please specify.
Prefer subs as dubs often feature less of the story line and english voices are to High pitched or to boring to their Japanese counterpart.
Do you have Internet access if so please specify where you get your access.
Yes dialup
Any other additional comments you would like to add?
If Animax showed more variety and changed a few times and stopped changing episodes(i.e. one showing is episode 4 and the next showing is episode 15, is very irriating as the anime is chopped and changed and makes viewing confusing as you miss out on plote and additional storylines). If animax could at least play episode in ORDER then viewing would be alot better

We tried watching shows like Hellsing/Eureka 7 - but episodes were out of order and did not make sense!! The episodes did not start at the same time every day.
We never watched it again after that and we all continue downloading and watching SUBBED anime.
