News article from Animation Magazine: Home » Television Gormiti Sells to U.S., Europe and Middle East Thursday, September 17, 2009 By: Thomas J. Mclean "Broadcasters in the United States, Europe and the Middle East have bought the rights to Zodiak Entertainment’s animated children’s series Gormiti: The Lords of Nature. In the United States, the series will debut in October on Cartoon Network. Gormiti starts airing in September on M6 and Canal J in France, RTL 2 in Germany, RTVE and Cartoon Network in Spain and Nickelodeon in the United Kingdom. The show also is set to debut on the Alter Channel in Greece, Digi Turk in Turkey, Noga in Israel, MBC in the Middle East, TV3 in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, Nova TV in Bulgaria and Globo TV in Brazil. Further deals are pending for additional territories in Latin America and Southeast Asia. Produced by Marathon Media and Giochi Preziosi for Mediaset, M6 and Canal J, Gormiti was adapted from a major Italian property and launched at MIPCOM in 2008. It has been a huge hit in its native Italy, drawing more than 1 million viewers per episode on Mediaset. “The series should be on air worldwide in mid-2010, as planned,” said Vincent Chalvon Demersay, CEO of Marathon Media." Details can be found here: http://www.marathon.fr/page_p.php?lg=uk&id=1389&cc=3&csc=0 I've seen some promo clips for this, and unfortunately, it's not looking too promising. While it's cool that Marathon is still able to sell cartoon properties in the States, their choice of properties leaves a little something to be desired..

Can't they make shows for girls again? Really that promo art looks like a He-Man rip-off or something. I wasn't aware it was still the 80's. |

1. Girls don't watch cartoons. They watch live action shows with girls who are like them and get into crazy situations. Boys watch cartoons. Seriously, why does all animation have to be masculine/both genders. There's no attempt anymore to cater to exclusively to a female demographic. That's not to say girls can't watch "Hot Wheels Battle Force 5", but you know that show was really made for boys. 2. The whole thing seems like it's been done before. I guess it could be fun, but hopes presently low. 3. They should have a show with these superpowers, but make the cast Earth, Wind and Fire. Only cause it'll be so random and amazing to see an animated version of Philip Bailey shooting fire from his hands. |

Cartoon companies have got it into their heads that "huh, look at the current viewing capacity. Obviously girls don't like our stuff as much so let's cater only to boys, we'll get more viewers that way". It's ridiculous, and probably one of the reasons that TS was shunted, even if it dude have equal gender viewing capacity. |

I read an article about it before, girls cartoons have gotten good ratings, but due to the bias with corporate geniuses who decides what goes into programming blocks its systematically marginalized because those people believe "cartoons are for boys." Like there was one point where the Saturday morning demographic had been shown to be edging increasingly female, and 4Kids responded by saying they wanted to further pursue boy's programming then they had been or something like that.

Pretty much what it's gotten to. Obviously because the greater viewing capacity for boys, cartoon companies will only cater to boys nowadays, even when girls start watching them more. |

IIRC, the reason TS was canned from ABC Family in the first place was because someone wanted "Boy Action Heroes Only". Not only will girls not watch cartoons, but boys won't watch cartoons with girls in them cause girls have cooties. That, and I suppose idiot parents who think that if their son watches TS it'll make him gay. |

What would Phil Collins' power be when there's a crossover episode loosely based on "Easy Lover"??? XD Edited by Spin New Yasha, Sep 20 2009, 06:07 PM.

*was going to say this* It's not just a shitty show, it's a shitty show that's also a 30 minute long toy commercial. Aside from "Ben 10", "Chowder" or "Flapjack", I honestly think that in order to get new episodes aired on CN you need to be either a toy related show, live action, or made by Fresh TV. |

I'm thinking thats the major reason why Team Galaxy got on CN when it did. Granted, TS was still a force of CN nature when the planning/production of TG was going down, but they were totally going for a big product sell as well. Obviously since I'm tripping over Team Galaxy toys as we speak, that went quite well. I still am interested in tracking down those prototypes. I'm getting a Yoko on my desk if I can't get a Mandy, Britney, or Diana. On Gormiti itself......can't canon it with anything. I can put up with TAS since I can expand my TS canon with some new characters and such, and that also fills up my "3 shotas, 1 loli" tolerance slot.
117 plays on Mez's ipod, that's what. Thank you Vice City Stories!

I didn't watch Team Galaxy often, but I already know it was a better show than this is going to be. (Off-topic: Yoko figurine? That'd be interesting to have. Where can you get it, Amazon?) Edited by TerminalGT, Sep 22 2009, 08:46 PM.

They just need to make a show with all girls again. I honestly think they have a problem with making male main characters who aren't total throw-aways. |

Another trouble they have, viewing capacity aside, is that they seemingly can't think of scenarios/plots for an all-girls show anymore. Such a shame. Whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy won't they continue TS I know I keep saying it but they need to needtoneedtoneedtoneedtoneedtoneedto sdfdsfdsfdsfds And apparently I have been rendered so incoherent by Marathon's utter stupidity that words have failed me. |

I think they can, it's just that executives are so retarded and stuck into horrible gender stereotypes now that well, it ain't going to happen.
Maybe it was all some sort of brief trend. Even this happened. I need to play and review that. It probably sucks, but it would make a nice companion to compare to the TS and KP games. Edit:
One day, I'm going to find a copy of the extended version without a skip in it. And even if I don't I'm still keeping it because it's amazing. |

If I knew where it was I'd have like a box of them lol. I only think there are only prototypes out for what was going to be the toy line from Bandai, and searching Team Galaxy cartoon/yoko will usually find several sites with images of said figurine. Whether acquiring one is a possibility I have no clue, but if anything I bet it'd be on eBay. |
