Animidnight will premiere at 12:00 a.m. ET/PT on Wednesday, November 6, with an airing of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society.

Since The GITS:SAC movie already aired on Sci Fi's Ani-Monday will they air any of the other titles that have or will air on Sci Fi?

GitS has been on Starz before, and anime has been scattered across its lineup for a few years now. I even want to say (although I'm not sure) that there's already been an anime block on Starz Action sometime recently.

He's not talking about the Ghost in the Shell movie. He was talking about Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society movie that Sci Fi channel aired in the summer.

And wondering if since it aired on Sci Fi already if they'll be airing the same titles as Sci Fi.I could see it happening since more people have
Sci Fi than the Starz network so there wouldn't be a danger of overlapping.

Nope, they are not going to show anything from Sci Fi Channel other then Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society movie.

Really, I hope they get a clue and take the stuff that they are going to air the stuff from Staz Edge to Sci Fi Channel.

They could really make the Ani Monday really cool.

They are going also going to air Hellsing Ultimate OVA and Black Lagoon. Too bad that they can only air the four eps of Hellsing Ultimate.
