While I don't expect much discussion to happen in this topic, I thought it wouldn't hurt to open up a thread to discuss this series. It's also been awhile since I made a topic on this site, so... Here goes.
Monsuno is a Japanese-American co-production that is being produced for North America and Japan by Dentsu, Jakks Pacific, FremantleMedia Enterprises, and The Topps Company. Mitsuharu Inoue, who has previously worked with the Bakugan property, will serve as the Creative Director for the series. However, beyond that, no further staff or studio working on the animation has been announced. The show is currently planned for 52 episodes. Currently, it's scheduled to air on Nicktoons in the United States starting February 23, 2012 at 8:00PM, with an hour premiere of the first two episodes. Afterwards, the show will air Thursdays at 8:30PM. Europe will follow, getting a launch starting in the Summer. In Japan, the series will air on TV Tokyo, but no schedule has been announced when or what timeslot the show will have. If there is any doubts whether or not this really is anime or not, according to Fremantle's Website (who are a producer and distributor on the show) entry on Monsuno, the series is being produced for TV Tokyo and that the country of origin is Japan. As for the plot entry? Read below.
As for my opinion of the series, I'm going to give it a chance. It does kinda sound generic, but I think what's really important is the execution. However, I'm a bit... uneasy how Dentsu's going to handle the English production, given what they did with Deltora Quest. I'm hoping because they're directly producing it, they won't make any "changes" to what they produced. A couple more days until this airs and we'll find out all the questions regarding it. |

This is not the kind of show I am typically interested in, so I doubt I'll check it out, but it's interesting to be aware of co-productions like this.

Nicktoon's newest show,"Monsuno" has gotten a lot of attention lately. And it looks like a pretty good show. It's seems to have been inspired by shows like "Pokemon,""Digimon," and other shows like it.
My only problem with it and it's a minor one,is the names of some of the characters. I have no trouble with the lead character Chase's name. But,some of the other names like Jinja and Bren,sound a little strange to me. They sound like characters from the old "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" series. The people who made the series could come up with ordinary names like Ginger or Jenny or Billy or Byron,names like that. But,strange names aside,it sound like a good show and I'm going to be watching it. |

Hm. Anyway, I'll check it out, since they said it's 'more adult than any other monster battling show' statement they apparently made in their advertisements. I wonder if they can deliver. |

There is that, though the concept of Monsuno is probably initially American, however the animation creation and such is Japanese. It wouldn't be a total shock if, for example, the same was for Bakugan (as that is a co-production as well) originally concepted in Canada, though having the animation's origin and production being Japanese. There are other anime shows that list a foreign person as the creator, even though the series was written, directed, and animated in Japan. However, we'll find out more about the shows production once it airs, provided Dentsu gives us a credit listing. Anyways, iTunes had posted a preview trailer, as well as a preview of the opening. You can view the opening here, for those who don't have an iTunes account or the program for that matter. My opinion? Bleh... EDIT: Since I'm not sure what the rules for double posting are on this forum (it's been awhile since I checked), I'll just leave this information here.

Giving this a bump up, as some new information has arrived. The series, Monsuno, under the full title of "Spinning Monster Battle Monsuno" (or something like that. Not exactly sure how to romanize it out either...), was announced at the Tokyo Toy Show that it will begin airing on Japanese television in October of this year. Though they did not mention the exact network, it should be TV Tokyo as Fremantle's site had originally listed.
