The Japanese anime series Viewtiful Joe will be introduced to young viewers in North America on Kids’ WB! The network has ordered 26 episodes of the action/comedy series from Geneon Ent. and plans to launch the show on Saturday mornings beginning this fall.
Based on Capconm’s award-winning video game series, Viewtiful Joe tells the story of a normal guy with two great loves–his girlfriend, Silvia, and Captain Blue, an action movie superhero. When Silvia is pulled into a movie screen by a celluloid monster, Joe jumps in to save her. There, he meets his hero, Captain Blue, and inherits super powers from the retiring crime fighter.
On Kids’ WB! Viewtiful Joe will join such hit shows as Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Xiaolin Showdown The Batman, Jackie Chan Adventures, ¡Mucha Lucha! Gigante, Teen Titans and MegaMan NT Warrior: Axess. More information can be found at www.KidsWB.com.
