You guys like anime, don't you? Well, we do over at sister site Japanator. One day I'll be able to flip on a box, flip through a menu and watch whatever anime I want instantly. My PC connected to my TV does that in a way, as does my PS3. Both are excellent solutions, but it's kind of difficult to know what is available through these newfangled online services.
Sony sent us a list of which anime series are currently available for download on the PlayStation Network. That was nice of them. It's even separated by company. Old stuff is mixed with brand new stuff, and a few turds are scattered in the mostly good offerings. I can't complain -- the future is here, mostly. Dude, they even have Voltron. You can watch anime by hitting a button. Dreams are coming true.
Hit the jump for the full list. Sony says that the bolded titles are newer/featured titles.

Kenshiro does not approve.
@Bullet: Some of the unreleased Anime should have subs, I know that Xam'd had subtitles way back when Sony made a big deal out of it.
Jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes....
Respect points for Sony.
Rave Master is so awful compared to Groove Adventure Rave which I saw subbed a long time ago.
The list is endless but I'll be these are all butchered and edited versions. They killed Crayon Shin Chan to the poit where it's painful to watch.
I used to get a kick of of Atashi n' Chi, thankfully they haven't mangled that one.
Abenobashi Mahou Shotengai would rock out loud as well if they had that subbed!
@Steve Cabu
What's wrong with Shin Chan?
too bad this stuff isn't available in canadia :(
Not necessarily. If the series is short, you could save at least $10-20. Personally, I prefer physical media with my anime and games. I love having my entertainment on shelves and lending it to friends.
Samurai Champloo > Afro Samurai
Another BS restriction is you can't re-download any videos from the Playstation store. At least Microsoft had that part figured out years ago.
