Launching in Indonesia on December 1, Toonami is a 24-hour, high-octane ride, serving up animated hits like Young Justice, Dragon Ball Z and Batman: the Brave and the Bold to boys and girls alike, Turner International Asia Pacific Limited said in a press statement here Tuesday.
A socially-charged, multiplatform experience, Toonami is a superhero fantasy: a full tilt, over the top, roller-coaster ride of adventure, quips, drama and a whole lot more.
"With the launch of Toonami, Indonesian kids will have 24/7 access to the most electrifying entertainment available. For the first time anywhere in the world, viewers will be able to see the Spider-Man and the Hulk meet Iron Man and Goku on the same channel. It really is the ultimate home of the action hero," said Sunny Saha, Senior VP and Managing Director, Turner International Asia Pacific.
Toonami is a channel for the fans and by the fans - and the excitement extends beyond television, into the online and social media space.
To kick off Toonami`s launch, budding science-fiction writers can play an active part in the channel`s origins which centers on NAMI, an A.I. lifeform from the future.
In December and January, fanboys and fangirls can pitch ideas as to how to complete NAMI`s story. The winning entry will be created into an animated clip for the channel and a customized printed comic book. For more information, head to ToonamiAsia.com.
Excitement for Toonami`s launch is already building online through a video which depicts a spaceship spotted over Jakarta city center.
Toonami is available on First Media CH 126, Indovision CH 47, Aora TV CH 115, Telkomvision Groovia TV CH 307 and Topas TV CH 136.
It is operated and distributed in Asia by Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific, Inc., a Time Warner Company.
