ImaginAsian TV Adds Three New Series to Anime Block

NEW YORK, July 19: The U.S.-based Asian American network
ImaginAsian TV has added three new Japanese animated series from Geneon
Entertainment to its Tuesday evening animation block: Paradise Kiss, Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales and Kamichu.

The three new series, premiering July 31, will kick off the
second season of the animation block entitled Anime EnerG: Powered by Geneon. The three new series join returning series Law
of Ueki and Kyo Kara Maoh! in the block’s lineup.

The series Paradise Kiss follows a group of designers who try to convince a beautiful
high-school student named Yukari to model for their fashion show. Reluctant at
first, she is eventually swayed by the charming George Koizumi to join their
group. The series Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales features three horror stories that come to life. In
“Yotsuya Ghost Story,” the vengeful spirit of a murdered wife haunts her
enemies, while “Goddess of the Dark Tower,” based on a classic Japanese play,
tells of the forbidden romance between a goddess and a human. The third story
“Goblin Cat” is the original story of a “cat monster” that preys on each member
of a mysterious family. Kamichu follows
a girl named Yurie Hitotsubashi who has turned into a god and needs her
classmates to help her figure out what kind of powers she possesses. However,
before she figures this out, a typhoon and other calamities require her help.

“We’re thrilled about the second cycle of Anime EnerG,” said David Chu, the senior VP of programming and
production at ImaginAsian TV. “The success of our first season speaks to the
lasting appeal of anime in America. With our second season, we will continue
catering to an ever-growing market of anime enthusiasts. Our highly anticipated
new programs are audience favorites in Japan, with great crossover
potential.”
