Watch *MIRAGE OF BLAZE* series and OVA on American TV!
If you want to watch Mirage of Blaze but don't have money to spend on all the DVDs, you can watch it on Encore Wam (http://www.encoretv.com/appmanager/seg/e?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=encore_wam). It's channel 200-something for me, but I think it depends on where you live.
Anyway, the series just finished for the first time and the OVA is being shown until tomorrow. I watched part 2 of the OVA today, even though I own all the DVDs, just because I wanted to see what it was like. It's really cool because there are no commercial breaks, and it doesn't seem to be censored at all (anyone else who's seen part 2 of the OVA knows it can't get much worse than that, so if they left that scene alone then what else would they mess with?).
Unfortunately, as expected, it's the dubbed version that's being aired. I'm not one of those so-called "purists" who automatically hates any English dub they hear, and I actually think the Mirage of Blaze dub is decent, but I'd still much prefer to watch anime characters speaking with their "natural" Japanese voices. Still, I'm just happy that Mirage of Blaze is even being shown at all, and uncensored, too!
If you missed it the first time around, the series will start again on June 16th @ 4:30 PM where I live, but I'd reccomend checking your local TV guide. It will then repeat each episode twice in the late night/early morning hours before showing the next episode @ 4:30 PM (or whenever it was the previous day where you live) the very next day. After all 13 series episodes are aired, the OVA will presumably be shown again, split into three half-hour parts. Enjoy!
