"Hikaru's Go") is a Japanese manga series, a coming of age story based on the board game Go written by Yumi Hotta and illustrated by Takeshi Obata with an anime adaptation. The production of the series' Go games was supervised by Go professional Yukari Umezawa (5-dan). The manga is largely responsible for popularizing Go amongnst the youth of Japan since its debut, and in other areas such as mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea. More recently it has gained much popularity in the United States. The title is sometimes abbreviated 'HnG'.<br/><br/>First released in Japan in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1998, Hikaru no Go achieved tremendous success, spawning a popular Go fad of almost unprecedented proportions; it received the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2000[1] and creators received Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2003 for the series.

According to an interview with the March 2006 issue of Animage, Hiroshi Kamishina, the show's director, noted that the show "absolutely will not have any plot elements that carry favor to children". The producers of the show has also commented that Kiba will not be the type of show to put "human drama" on the back burner while concentrating on promotional tie-ins. While Upper Deck owns the rights to the series, ADV Films is producing the dub and distrobuting the Kiba anime, and it will be available later this year. Kiba started airing on Toonami Jetstream on July 14, 2008. 2/11/2012 http://www.bbpctv.com/Program-MAR.aspx MÄR (Meru), which stands for "Märchen Awakens Romance", is a manga series created by mangaka Nobuyuki Anzai.

The English episode numbers are based on their first airing in the United States either in syndication or on Cartoon Network.

Subsequent airings of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except in the case of episodes which are no longer shown in English.<br/><br/>This season aired first-run episodes in Japan from October 6, 2005, to September 14, 2006 (although, it should be noted that the Japanese season started much earlier). In the United States, it began airing on September 8, 2006, and is currently airing on Cartoon Network in their 2006-07 Saturday morning line-up. This is the first season of Pokemon that has been dubbed into English by Pokémon USA after 4Kids Entertainment's contract expired (though assets from the 4Kids dub are still used), and as such, the first season dubbed by the new voice cast.

It is noted for its highly detailed, outline-free, masking-based animation, as well as for its cinematic style and pacing.<br/><br/>The plots of individual episodes range from dark and epic to light-hearted and comic, but typically follow Jack in his singular quest to find a method of traveling back in time. Many of the battle scenes in the series are reminiscent of samurai films, and since Jack's robotic enemies "bleed" oil or electricity and monsters/aliens bleed slime or goo, the series is able to exhibit the action of these films while avoiding censorship for violence. 2/11/2012 http://www.bbpctv.com/Program-Star-Wars-The-Clone-Wars.aspx Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an American 3D CGI animated television series created by Lucasfilm Animation, Lucasfilm Animation Singapore and CGCG Inc.
