I found this at superherohype.com
quote:Variety says that Japan's biggest animation studio, Toei Animation, is creating a sequel to its popular Ultimate Muscle series, called "Kinnikuman" in Japan, for exclusive release in the U.S.
The 26-episode wrestling series will be less violent to comply with U.S. audience preferences, says the trade. This is the first time Toei has produced animation for an overseas market only, rather than selling a domestic hit abroad.
The series started as a comic book in 1982. Toei's TV series hit the air the following year and lasted 137 episodes until 1986. In 2001, the next generation of Ultimate Muscle hit Japan and was picked up by 4Kids Entertainment for the U.S.
I really like the one being shown right now. I didn't really see a whole lot of the original though. I wonder if they will have a lot of references to current big names like The Rock or Stone Cold.
BTW, isn't there a Kinnikuman game being made or already out on the Gamecube? Does anyone know if it is coming state side?

Yes, it is supposed to come out between April-June in the states. I'm really looking forward to it! Every review (that I have seen) for it so far has been positive.
The news about the US exclusive episodes disturbs me... they will probably botch things up and mess with the characters in an attempt to please American audiences. As if they haven't done enough with the rediculous name changes in the show!!

I played the game at my local import shop and its FREAKING AWESOME.
anyway, I can't wait for more episodes, and more contemporary references are more than welcome. I couldn't stop laughing when I heard "vance mcmad."

Don't forget Kevin Mask & dMP.
They need more characters "inspired by" WWE in the show...
