MUMBAI: Toei Animation is all set to launch their two popular animated series, Digimon Adventure 02 and Pretty Cure online later this month. The series 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 as a result of this new initiative. Other animated titles from Toei’s catalogue will also roll out later this year.
Digimon Adventure 02 follows the adventures Daisuke Motomiya and his friends as they battle the evil Digimon Kaiser who is out for domination in the digital world.
Pretty Cure revolves around Nagisa and Honoka who are both eighth graders at the Verone Junior High School for girls. The girls both encounter Mepple and Mipple – two mysterious creatures who came down from the sky one night. Mepple and Mipple have fled from their homeland – the Field of Light – in order to escape an attack by the evil force of Dotsuku Zone. These two strange creatures grant Nagisa and Honoka the power to transform into superheroes called ‘Cure Black’ and ‘Cure White.’ The two girls, thus, become guardians of Earth.
Toei Animation’s operations include animation development and production, and worldwide marketing and program licensing.
