Date: 10/30/2005
Kadokawa Holdings has announced American television company Cartoon Network will produce a new animation TV series based on their Gamera property. The new work will be broadcast in North America during the spring of 2007. Each episode will run 30 minutes. CN has enjoyed much sucess from their past cross market (Japan /USA) inspired productions, this first occured in America during the 1990's with the anime-inspired Power Puff Girls animation. The show was a hit in the USA and later went on to become popular in Japan. From there the network went on to actually create original works based on Japan (Hi Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi), fund works based on their original properties being created in Japan (Powerpuff Girls Z) and jointly produce new works based on properties originating in Japan with Japanese animation firms (IGPX).
