With Comedian Hiroyuki Amano providing an extra bump at the end of each episode to pass on toy and other information.
A bit disturbing is that Takara only sees the show as being in the 3-8 age range, but they will have a full DVD/BR release this year. Hopefully this means we may get our wide screen version as well
The same report also notes that SEGA is working on a new animated based arcade game using the card systems this summer. That could be quite interesting is see develop.
