Anime on Mexican TV

The Sweet Tales of St. Tail (Kaitou St. Tail) premiered on channel 7 of TV Azteca network in Mexico on Monday and currently runs five days a week. It has taken over the time slot of Escaflowne, which was broadcast in its full, uncut 26 episode length, dubbed into Spanish. This Saturday the “yusha” (hero) children’s adventure series Yaiba will premier in the 30 minutes timeslot just prior to St. Tail.

These series are not the only anime currently broadcast on television in Mexico. The Cartoon Network is currently broadcasting Card Captor Sakura and Pokemon to Spanish speaking countries. While the Spanish language version of Pokemon is the edited Warner Brothers version, Card Captor Sakura is not the Nelvana version, but a Spanish translation of the full, uncut, unedited version of the series, including the episodes edited out of the American broadcast. Fox Television also broadcasts edited versions of Tonde Burin, titled Super Cerdita (Super Pig), Monster Rancher and an uncut, unedited translation of Digimon to its Spanish language networks.
