A bit surprised no one has posted this info yet.

tfw2005 is posting that Nikkei Net and Kyodo News are reporting new developments for Transformers Animated in Japan.

Transformers Animated will air on TV-Tokyo starting April 3rd at 8:30am.

Optimus Prime=Takahashi Hiroki
Starcream, Mantis and Autoruncher in Beast Wars second

Harima Kenji in School Rumble
Kikumaru Eiji in Prince of Tennis
Jonouchi Katsuya in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Squalo in Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

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.
