Animated titles from Toei to be available on internet

MUMBAI: Toei Animation has announced the launch of their most popular animated content online this June. Slam Dunk and Fist of the North Star are the first titles scheduled to roll out.

Each series will be available for download on IGN.com’s Direct2Drive section.

The premiere of other animated titles from their extensive series catalogue will be announced later this year.

“We are thrilled to expand the ever-growing need for these popular shows on the web and We look forward to building a new legion of fans through this important platform,” said Toei Animation Coo and president Yosuke Kobayashi.

In Slam Dunk, former punk Sakuragi Hanamichi joins his high school basketball team attempting to impress his dream girl Haruko. Naturally athletic, yet lacking any experience in the sport, Sakuragi struggles to contribute to the Shohoku High team.

Fist of the North Star is set when the world is enveloped in the fires of a nuclear holocaust. On the charred remains of the earth’s surface, a few remaining group of humans are struggling to survive. However, they find themselves in a fearful world ruled by violence. The young wanderer, Kenshiro, stands up to the bandits. Upon his chest are seven scars in the shape of the North Star.
