I'll fess up and be the first one to admit that I'm actually interested in watching this Kodomo series for no other reason than, perhaps, because it will just be another anime series on regular television for me to have easy access to. I've been curious considering that 4Kids has been delaying this for quite some time it might seem. What network is the preview episode going to be on anyways? The same that carries the CW4Kids broadcast in one's market? I certainly hope they don't cut down on broadcasting Dragon Ball Z Kai for this.

I'll just wait for the TV broadcast.

Oh, you mean instead of the stream? I'm on a slow internet connection, so I'm waiting for television anyways.

The preview should be airing on Friday September 9th on your CW affiliate. Mine has scheduled it for 4:00pm.

Thank you very much; CW is always a bit difficult to figure out because of the different times for some of the different affiliate networks.

I took a look and I;m somewhat surprised. This is the first time in a while spoiler[ a character seems to have actually died in a 4 Kids show without some sort of handwave]. The actual show itself seems to be the sort of typical Saturday morning thing that is a 4 kids show but at least there wasn;t too much of 4 Kids usual cheesy lines in the script. I may actually keep up with this.

I live in Canada, so it's impossible for me to watch it. x.x

This looks...interesting. Hopefully it'll be a hit for 4Kids. Yeah it's another toyetic anime, but it's still an anime! I hope it'll get on another network, as well as some other networks across the world. I'm not sure how popular Toonzai is...

I wonder whether 4Kids' obsession with finding toyetic things to work with is a problem since they might avoid certain shows that might actually attract more viewership. However, if it means anything, I watch Toonzai for the Dragon Ball Z Kai.

Would this show even count as toyetic? The cards they use don't necessarily seem to be played in a game. It just seems like your generic shonen anime, which was good that 4Kids picked up one no one had heard of, lol.

Oh, I was under the impression that there was some trading card game that actually tied in. There isn't?

Wait, I thought 4kids went out of business. Now if only they can get the rights back for Pokemon.

So is this real anime? I thought I heard 4Kids was co-producing this awhile ago so it was more of that fake-anime stuff with American writing and Japanese animation

And if it is anime, I'll be waiting for the Japanese sub. 4Kids dubs are always terrible.

According to Wikipedia (and this article), apparently it's Korean coproduction. So

I was under the impression that the writing was Japanese and the animation and character design was done in Korea. Am I incorrect?
