BBC iPlayer Launches 24/7 Pokémon Streaming Channel
Pokémon (1997)
BBC has unveiled a new Pokémon-themed live-streaming channel on its video-on-demand service, BBC iPlayer.

This dedicated channel will offer non-stop 24/7 live stream of the Pokémon anime, and will stream over 600 episodes, which is roughly half of the entire Pokémon anime library.

Included in the line-up is the original series, which follows the adventures of Ash Ketchum, as well as the latest series, titled Pokémon Horizons: The Series.

The new Pokémon channel will exclusively be available to viewers in the United Kingdom. Due to regional restrictions, the BBC iPlayer service won’t be available elsewhere.

Written by Shoji Yonemura

Directed by Takayuki Shibasaki

And yet, the franchise’ cast of characters has grown so massive that it’s become en vogue in recent years for massive teamup movies featuring every main character in Kamen Rider history to be produced every year or so.

A few days ago, the official website for the hybrid live-action/animated film Thriller Restaurant was updated with a full trailer featuring some previously unrevealed live-action footage.

The film is based on a popular series of storybooks in which the proprietor of Kaidan Restaurant, Obake Garçon (Ghost Waiter), tells horror stories to a group of children. A total of 50 volumes were published from 1996-2007 and have sold over 8 million copies to date. Toei Animation recently adapted the books to an anime series which TV Asahi began airing on October 13, 2009.
