Re-airing of "Tatakae!", "2010", "Rebirth" (and YES, it WAS dubbed into Japanese), "Beast Wars", "Beast Wars Metals" and "Beast Wars Returns".

Note that all of them are shows with stories which originated in the West.

Thanks to Autobase Aichi for the original story.

Yeah, read your post over at Allspark. Maybe I'll catch a few episodes when I'm over there in August. I'll try watching TV whenever I get a chance. There a time? Channel?

Your Japanese is better than mine.

Perhaps, but your computer can display Japanese characters and mine can't.

I lost that stupid disc...

Takara: "See? You think the American shows are so good.. we gave you Headmasters, the Americans got this! HA HA HA! We laugh at American cartoons make in Korea! HA HA HA!"

It's funnier if you use ' GO JHIRA!" voice... or if you're drunk.

Cool. Looks like Channel 160 for The Rebirth: 8/12-8/25 @ 7:00/8:15am and 9:30/10:45am

However, it looks like some of those other shows have already finished airring on their various stations.

But Beast Wars Returns looks to still be in reruns on Cartoon Network Japan (channel 274) at 5:30pm.

EDIT:

Hey! My mistake!

On Demand, Nextensive and Burara 4th Network will be airring the other shows on through 2006. And Moba HO! Ch001 has been showing them since last year and has no end date for the reruns.

Very cool.

I don't travel much, do hotel rooms have TVs?

In the states, you would be hard pressed not to find a TV in every hotel room - most with some limited cable access.

In Faulty Towers, it's a special surcharge, and you'll likely get yelled at for asking.

I will be spending at least 1 night at the Tokyo Hilton. Maybe I'll be getting one of those fancy Japanese TVs that serves drinks and injects you with heroin. On, and Transformers.
