The Cartoon
Network has made their announcement on the 17 new episodes of "Sailor
Moon." The new episodes will begin airing on Monday, November 30,
1998. This can only mean that they have planned to finish showing
the rest of the "Sailor Moon" series (the episodes with Queen Beryl in
them) and then skip the first 13 episodes of the "Sailor Moon R" series
(with the aliens Alan and Ann). Since those 13 episodes have little
influence on the actual series, they'll be skipped for now. Didn't
understand what was just explained? Then head on out to the Guardian
Universe to find out a bit more.

Yo. While searching the web, I crossed a
place that had some incredible potential. It's run by Jeff Harris
and he is a member of the Inner Circle. What is the Inner Circle?
Well, I'm not totally certain, but these guys have an idea brewing and
has the possibility to blow wide open. It a concept known as 'CN2:
Toonami.' See, where there is normal Cartoon Network with it's mostly
cartoony programs, CN2 would deal more with the Toonami programming, having
more action, more mature subject matter... in a nutshell, more anime programming
and movies. I love the idea. Head on over and read up a bit
more on what the idea deals with and marvel over the cool Toonami ship
Jeff was able to create (he puts mine to shame. Heck, most people
would
put mine to shame).

The new issue of MiXX'Zine is up. What, you
don't know what Mixx'Zine is? Good, some of you do know. Anyway.
for those who haven't been fortunate enough to get it, MiXX 'zine is a
manga magazine. It contains some of the hottest manga, which we in
North America would refer to as comics, from Japan. The best part
is, the manga is TRANSLATTED. It's a great mag that's in its second
year of publication and growing stronger all the time. Go to your
local comic store to see if you can find a copy so you can give it a look,
y'know, to see if you like it. If you want, you can even go to their
online site and order up a subscription. No matter what you choose,
visit MiXX 'zines' revamped website
Currently
in the MiXX: Magic Night Rayearth, Parasyte, Iceblade, Harlem Beat,
and the new addition this month is Mobile Suit Gundam: Blue Destiny.

If you've been watching the Cartoon Network, then
you've heard of the "Superfriends." There are new episodes on the
way. Actually, these are episodes that were previously unreleased.
That means that these were done in the '80, but now they are getting a
chance to finally be shown. If the reports hold true, "Superfriends"
will be joining the Toonami block, taking over the "Thundercats" time slot
at 4:30pm. We'll all just have to wait and see

Pokemon is the newest anime to come to America.
There are some things that make this series unusual and interesting.
First of all, the anime is based on the game "Pocket Monster." It's
kinda like Tamagochi, only you can raise any of 150 monsters, then have
them battle other opponents monster using special abilities, attacks, and
manuvers. Until the game comes out late this month, I really can't
give you any better details. Blkcloak is working on a site for these
creatures, so while it's under construction, you can still get the basic
info by going to his
Pokemon Center
of America
site. Give it some time.

There's alot going on with these sites. It
looks like it's going at a snail's pace, but things are about to get a
whole lot more interesting. In the works is making this site more
informative, and I don't mean only Toonami. Anime is an artform in
and of itself, and soon, alot of you will get to see what is out there.
So keep check. It's gonna be a blast.

There are reports on another new show coming to
Toonami, but the title might be familiar to some. The show is "Superfriends"
and will take over the Thundercats time slot on weekdays starting October
5th. These are new episodes of the Superfriends, so it most likely
won't look like the old 80's stuff currently being shown at 3pm ET on the
Cartoon
Network. I have a theory on this. Most likely, the animation
will be done in the footsteps of "The New Batman & Superman Adventures"
that is shown on the Kids WB, or, if you are familiar with "Batman on Cartoon
Network (shows at 6:00PM ET), that works. That's just a theory,
however, so we'll have to wait and see October 5th.

Universe then and find out .
