Toei Animation Co. Ltd. and Toei Animation Inc. will debut their two most popular animated series, Digimon Adventure 02 and Pretty Cure, online this month. Each anime show will be available for download on IGN.com’s Direct2Drive section. Slam Dunk and Fist of the North Star were the first titles to premiere online last month through this new initiative. Other animated titles from Toei’s extensive catalogue will roll out later this year.
Digimon Adventure 02, the second season of the hit animated series, follows the adventures of Daisuke Motomiya and his friends as they battle the evil Digimon Kaiser, who is out to dominate the Digital World. When Digimon Kaiser’s powers prevent other Digimon from Digivolving, a new generation of Digimon hero emerges to save their world
Pretty Cure revolves around Nagisa and Honoka, eighth graders at the Verone Junior High School for girls, who encounter two mysterious creatures that came down from the sky one night. Named Mepple and Mipple, the creatures fled their homeland, known as the Field of Light, in order to escape an attack by the evil forces of Dotsuku Zone. They grant Nagisa and Honoka the power to transform into superheroes dubbed ‘Cure Black’ and ‘Cure White,’ who may be our planet’s only hope in battling the evil Dotsuku Zone.
