News on SBS screenings of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Castle of Cagliostro

Sorry, but I don't think you fans are going to like the recent news which has been taken from the same address as below.

"We are happy to inform you, that after SBS airs Bubblegum Crisis this year (as listed above), we still own the broadcasting rights for one more screening. However, this contract is valid until 2004. Therefore, SBS could repeat the 26 episodes anywhere between 2002 - 2004. So make sure you don't miss this year's screening! As for related programs, unfortunately, SBS no longers owns the broadcasting rights for Neon Genesis Evangelion or The Castle Of Cagliostro. Also, we do not categorise our programs by subject matter, only by title and date. Therefore, we cannot advise as to upcoming programs. SBS is always aware of our manga and anime fans, so keep an eye out! "
