4Kids Announces New Acquisition

Tai Chi Chasers

4Kids Entertainment has announced its acquisition of worldwide (excluding Asia) translation and distribution rights to the Korean/Japanese animated series Tai Chi Chasers (Tai Chi Senjimon). The 39 episode series was co-produced by the the Korean Broadcasting System television network and Japan’s Toei Animation. It aired on Korean television in 2007. The card battle adventure series stars Rai, a young orphan descendant of the ancient “Tigeroid” race who must collect 500 lost tai chi symbol cards that grant ultimate power. He’s opposed in his quest by the Dragonoids who also seek the cards.

4Kids expects to begin distribution of the series in late 2011.

I wish 4Kids the best of luck with this acquisition, but it’s hard for me, personally, to get excited about a Korean card battle show.
