It's been over a decade since the Bubble War, when the global economy burst. The rich got
richer, and the poor were out of luck. Welcome to Tokyo, if you've got money, you can buy
anything your sick mind can dream up. If you don't, you just try not to get crushed beneath the
wheels. Only the wicked rule here.
Enter the Club, a secret society pandering to the ultra-rich and fulfilling their deepest desires,
legal or otherwise. Sent to infiltrate the underground elite, Saiga, once a renowned war
photographer now reduced to tabloid journalism, stumbles upon a depraved ceremony and
discovers the ultimate beauty in Tokyo's darkest catacombs. With a tragic young girl named
Kagura in tow, Saiga flees from his enemies and his own inner demons. A single kiss has ignited
a chain of events that could force the entire ruling class to their knees.
Smile for the camera… or perish in the glare of its lens.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2008-03-05/speed-grapher-premieres-on-ifc-this-fridayOK it's to ep 2. I've caught both and it's airing right before Witchblade. IFC is the Independant Film Channel and it comes with basic cable on Direct TV channel 550. I don't know if it is with other sevices and what channel. But I know it's not premium.
2 things. Sweetly IFC is totally uncut and uncensored. So all situations and language stayed intact. The warning... this one IS NOT FOR LITTLE KIDS! That being said after only 2 eps I'm already into the story line. The animation is good and character development seems to be proceeding apace. This is one I don't think I'll be missing. Has anyone else seen it? I'm just hoping it's not one that starts strong and then crashes and burns halfway through.
