Chances of it appearing on Virgin, probably less then the fabled Sky Atlantic.

I was also a latecommer to animé and like you once hooked.
Rarely shown on UK TV ( An emasculated copy, with the appaling US dub, of Gundam Wing was shown in the graveyard slot on cartoon network long ago).
I now go to specialist sites and download fan subbed series. A few are available on the likes of Amazon but they're usually the horrid American dubbed versions.
Although animé is a drawn artform, it is very different to children's cartoons, often depicting death in detail so rarely gets a look in on UK TV.
