Hero is the anime cable channel in the Philippines formed by Creative Programs Inc. (the cable subsidiary of ABS-CBN) which also produces MYX, Cinema One, ABS-CBN News Channel, Lifestyle Network Balls, Maxxx and Velvet. So far, it is seen on SkyCable in Metro Manila and in over 200 cable systems all over the Philippines. It is also known as Hero TV by fans and at times by the channel itself probably due to ambiguation purposes. It is the first and only all-Tagalog-dubbed anime channel. It aired its first test broadcast from August to September, 2005; regular broadcast started on the following month. It was formally launched at the Philippine Trade Training Center on November 12, 2005. Initially, the channel airs between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight; but since April 2006, the schedule has been extended to 2:00 a.m. the next day. Some anime shown in the channel were also being shown in a special block in the The Filipino Channel called Hero on TFC. The said block lasted from 2006-07 and featured some anime already pulled out of the programming rotation at the time.
[edit] Anime shown on the channelMain article: List of anime broadcast by Hero Much of the content in Hero is attributed to the fact that Creative Programs Inc's parent company ABS-CBN (though its main network has produced numerous dubs of anime years before the launch of Hero, as well as maintained an ANIMAX airing block for quite sometime). Aside from those, the channel also airs anime that have not yet seen in any terrestrial or cable channel shown in the Philippines prior to its first showing in the channel, such as Mirmo de Pon!. The channel also features anime dubbed by Telesuccess, Inc., supplier for most of the anime aired on ABS-CBN's rival GMA 7. Some of these are Love Hina, Rune Soldier, and Shaman King.[1] Others seen in the channel were previously shown in English on Cartoon Network's Philippine feed or, in the case of Raijin-Oh, on government-controlled RPN 9.[2] Furthermore, the channel features re-dubs, i.e. it produced its own dubbed version of anime which previously were already dubbed in Tagalog. Examples of these are Mon Colle Knights, Metal Fighter Miku, Zenki, The Slayers, and Voltes V. [edit] Non-anime programsAlthough the channel prides itself as an anime channel, some of the programs it aired were non-anime. They are Mission Odyssey and Shadow of the Elves, both produced by the Berliner Film Companie, and the tokusatsu or live-action shows The Gransazers, Masked Rider Ryuki, and Shaider. As of the present, all five programs mentions have been pulled out of the program rotation. The following programs joined and will join these five programs as non-anime programs shown on Hero: [edit] Tokusatsu programs
