I grew up watching the TV series and film series in Japan when I was a kid and now Walt Disney is to begin broadcasting Japanese cartoon “ Doraemon ,” the first time in the iconic series’ history that it will play in English in the U.S. Some 26 English-dubbed episodes will play, five times a week, on the Disney XD satellite channel starting from an unspecified date in the summer. Target age group is elementary school children. The series is owned by TV Asahi, Fujiko F. Fujio Production and TV Asahi subsidiary Shinei Animation. The deal was struck with TV Asahi, which handles the U.S. rights.

The first TV series was launched in 1973 and has played in 35 territories, particularly in East Asia, where it has a huge following. Unlike previous episodes, which have shown in North America in Japanese o

TV Review: Hannibal “Ko No Mono” By: Brandon Wolfe The degree to which the Vergers have taken over ‘Hannibal’ so quickly is a bit strange. The characters, who have a rightful place in the Hannibal Lecter mythos, are interesting ones to add into the mix, especially since they were late additions to Thomas Harris’ written universe and we are still at a point before even the events of ‘Red Dragon’ have occurred. Katharine Isabelle and Michael Pitt are doing fine work as the twisted siblings, and Pitt in particular adds a manic, animated note to the show that definitely stands out among the solemnity of the rest of the cast. But it feels like too much, too fast. Maybe if the characters had lingered in the background longer this season, their sudden ascension wouldn’t have felt so jarring. But we only officially met Mason last week and he’s already in therapy sessions with Hannibal (as all psychos on this show inevitably are). What’s more, Margot is already pregnant with Will’s love c

Captain America reaches new highs, while Amazing Spider-man 2 gets beat in its second week. Story by: Matt Cummings It seems as though even the best marketing in the world can still leave audiences a little wanting to see a Summer blockbuster, even when it appears near the top of our May Preview . That's unfortunately been the case with The Amazing Spider-man 2 , as domestic audiences have apparently deserted the film in droves. In only its second week of release, the Peter Parker/Gwen Stacy set up for Sinister Six was beat out by the comedy Neighbors , which took in a terrific $51.7m, eclipsing the webslinger's $37.2m. Perhaps its somewhat cool response by critics ( ours included ) and audiences have contributed to the numbers? That's certainly not what Sony had in mind, but they have to be happy when comparing it to another superhero flick Captain America: The Winter Solider . After 10 days of release, ASM2 has taken in domestically $147.9m as compared
