Toei to Produce More Mari & Gali Anime

Toei has announced plans to launch a series of five minute “Mari & Gali” anime shorts beginning March 31. The anime segments starring the middle school “goth-loli” girl Marika and the middle-aged scientist Galileo introducing scientific concepts to children through gag humor, music, and dancing will air during the NHK Educational network’s weekly Suiensa “scientific entertainment” program. A Mari & Gali “episode zero” aired in November 2008 when the Suiensa program itself premiered.

Mari & Gali will be Toei Animation’s first production for broadcast on the NHK Educational channel since the 1978 Captain Future series.
