I was surprised to see AZN showing Japanese shows again (although I haven't watched the channel in near nine months so perhaps my surprise is a bit dated) and even more surprised that they are showing brand new shows that are only a couple of weeks out of Japan.

Agh! That totally sucks, I just read about that yesterday and it came as a complete shock!
