Hi there,
I don't know if many of you remember the hot little trailer from 2001 called "Molly Star-Racer".
The creators moved to Japan and produced in Tokyo a full 26 half hour series there now called "Oban Star-Racers" in collaboration with anime studio Hal Film Maker.
It looks like it turned out for the best, judging from the trailer.
Just heard it was being released in the US but missed it yesterday. Any one seen it?
For info:
From news section of www.savtheworld.com:
Oban Star-Racers airs an hour-long premiere Monday, June 5 during Jetix on Toon Disney Jetix (8:30 p.m. ET/PT), with encore airings on Friday, June 9, (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) and Saturday, June 10, (10:30 a.m. ET/PT) on ABC Family.
Half-hour episodes will air in the regular timeslots on Toon Disney Jetix, Mondays (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) and Saturdays (10:30 a.m. ET/PT) on ABC Family.
