      FROM ANN (READ THIS!)

      Burbank, CA and Long Beach, CA (June 21, 2005) – Kids’ WB!, the #1 broadcast network for kids, and Geneon Entertainment, a leader in introducing anime to North America, have joined forces to bring one of Japan’s hottest television series, VIEWTIFUL JOE, to kids in the United States on Saturday mornings beginning Fall 2005. The network has ordered 26 episodes of the action-comedy series, which will air during the 2005-2006 broadcast season on Kids’ WB! The announcement was made today by Betsy McGowen, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Kids’ WB!, and Yosuke Kobayashi, President/CEO, Geneon Entertainment. “We are excited to partner with the innovative creative talent at Geneon Entertainment to bring viewers across the nation this extraordinary series in the fall,� said Ms. McGowen. “This award-winning property, VIEWTIFUL JOE, introduces a fantastical world with high action and character-driven comedy starring a likable underdog who overcomes the odds to become a superhero. This series will be a wonderful addition to our programming slate and is sure to be Kids’ WB!’s next animé hit.�

      “We’re thrilled to be able to bring VIEWTIFUL JOE to Kids’ WB!,� said Mr. Kobayashi. “The characters have already been universally embraced and we’re sure that Joe’s super-stature will continue to grow on the number one kids broadcast network. This is a high-concept, high-profile series that breaks the mold of standard children’s animé; it’s exciting to have the opportunity to showcase this great property for an audience that is certain to appreciate all the fun and colorful innovation that Joe has to offer.� With breakout characters from the award-winning video game series developed by Capcom Co. Ltd., VIEWTIFUL JOE has become a global sensation spawning a successful television series and licensing program in Japan. VIEWTIFUL JOE features American comic-style character design that is ripe with action and loaded with comedy.

      STORYLINE:
      Joe is just a normal guy with two great loves: his girlfriend Silvia and Captain Blue, an action movie superhero. When Silvia is magically captured through a movie screen by a celluloid monster, Joe gets himself swallowed into the screen to save her. There, Joe meets Captain Blue just as the superhero is about to retire, exhausted from his lifelong battle against villains known as Jadows. With special superpowers bestowed upon him by Captain Blue, Joe transforms into Viewtiful Joe to vanquish the enemies in Movie Land.

      Any thoughts or complaints?

        Hmmm.. no complaints. I'm actually looking forward to this. I've never played the game but I heard it was good. I wonder how the drawing will be. Hopefully like the game.

        This sounds kool. -_-

        Hm… WB Kids? Oh well.

          I love the game (Henshin a go-go baby! ❤ ), but I never even heard of an anime. I'll probably watch it, just for the sake of the gamer in me ^^ .

                I watched three eps of the anime. It was alright but nothing special.

                  Viewtiful Joe is good watching.
                  But…I shudder at the thought of KidsWB dubbing it.
                  Do you think they will use the voices they had for the games?
                  If so...ohhh yeah.

                    The game is awesome! But, I'm not looking forward to the dubbed anime on behalf of the fact that it'll be edited. Geneon is dubbing it, so that should be good if they get Dee Bradley Baker to retain his role as Joe.

Then, old docta' Hiruk gave me this blingin' hat! My family beat me, shunt me, but it's all tight. Because I'm doin' my doctor remedies all night. I look like freak with my Human Human fruit. But now I'm with some gangsta' pirates who like to steal loot! All the girls like my blue nose. Yeah; it's the way that I get the Record scratching. Usopp's the guy with all 'da glory. He's my main man with all his tight stories. Zolo's Santoryu skills are on ice. You betta' watch out, or you gonna get sliced! Sanji's the cook servin' up the main dish. Don't mess with him, unless that's your wish. Luffy's 'da captain with the straw hat! His Gum Gum skills are real real tight. Vivi's the princess of Alabasta. Now we gotta head there, and we betta' do it faster!"

                          Meh. I'm from Norway, where the possibillity of gettin' this is under 1 %.

                          But Viewtiful Joe seems like an exciting series based on the games, yep.

                            Yeah, I really like the cheesy game voices. This should kick a litle ass because of the fact that Geneon (and not 4kids for once) is doing an anime for kidsWB….allthough they did do a lackluster job on Cardcaptor Sakura.

                              I saw a clip of it at Comic-Con. Couldn't hear much because it because everyone was so loud.

                              I just saw a comercial for it the other day. The commercial said it's coming in November. Joe sounds the same, but I only heard the last few seconds of the commercial, & Joe sounded like it may have been someone other than Dee Bradley Baker. I'm not sure though.

                                    My brother loves the Viewtiful Joe games, so I pretty much know the story… I heard that there was an anime of it from one of said brother's nintendo power magazines...

                                    Well I have 2 hopes for this in America:

                                    1. That it will get at least a decent dub,
                                    &
                                    2. That my brother will not get frustrated by the Anime (like he does at the video game) and yell at it...

                                          Got any proof with that statement? And some localization would be nessecary for a bunch of anime series. Hell, Bo-bobo needed some because believe it or not, people like to laugh at jokes without having to go on the internet to find out what the hell two characters are talking about.

                                          I have no complaints since I have not seen any previews of the dub nor the anime in Japan. I do love the games though so I am going to give it a shot. I like Genon's dubs, espically Paranoia Agent.

                                          Sometimes, a dead woman is a dead woman. Sometimes a giant black gorilla is just a giant black gorilla.

                                          Stop reading into every little thing.

                                              Saw some parts of it and I don't like Joe & Blue's voices, the VA's try to hard to sound like the original actors I really trying to figure out what other characters like Alastor will sound like. And a quick question do they ever explain how Joe got the V-watch & winds up in Movieland in the anime.

                                                Even though I've never seen the Japanese anime, I can guess two changes that were made in the dub.
                                                1. Bianko Billy's bullets were changed to lasers.
                                                2. The cow pies were changed to mud pies.
                                                My favourite part in the episode would probably be the detective guy who was always trying to disarm a bomb. Where did those things come from?
