If you watched the show you'd notice that the thing is very Anime style "very my so called life" kinda thing. I'm thinking that the creators of the show must have been big anime fans, right down to the humor (it could have been better) and the art style, and wild takes and heck even some fanservice (I was kinda suprised by this but oh well.)

It seems that the cycle of U.S and Jappanesse animation influencing eachother continues. I for one love the big melting pot that's come of this.

I am going to see it this morning. ONLY, and I repeat only, because I am an anime fan, and it's the closest US show that looks like anime.

I also thought that this show was done in the anime style...even though it's animated in France. Tres incroyable!
I first heard about the show on - of all places - Nickelodeon. The premise kinda put me off, but I saw the show and it was good. Here's an interesting connection: the show's head writers are Robert and Michelle Lamoreaux, who also wrote eps of "Hey Arnold".

Another good show I've discovered on Fox Family is "What's With Andy?". It's basically the story of a 13 year old boy who is a master prankster. It's pretty funny.

If and when ABC renovates the schedule on this channel, they can do what they want with the other shows, but please - PLEASE - leave these shows alone!

--when I saw the previews, my first thought was a teenaged version of Charlie's Angels (down to the freckles on the Asian lass' cheeks).

I can't believe I'm admitting this, but...

lately, I've been watching this show. And god help me, I've been enjoying it. The girls are just too damn cute/hot. Their VA's are fantastic. And it features one of my favorite VA's, Jess Harnell (Wakko Warner). The animation is also pretty nice.

It hasn't been showing recently on American TV. ABC Family dumped the show after its first season, for reason I still don't get. It has been airing in Canada on Teletoon at 5:30 p.m. weekdays.

Later.

Why, why, WHY did ABCFam have to get rid of this show?

Dang... 4 posts in the span of 10 minutes... That's a record for me.

Might as well ask why Disney was so stupid as to get rid of "Monster Rancher", "Shinzo" and "Digimon". In this case, a bit of cupidity might be involved, because Disney might not want competition for "Kim Possible" (personally I think a hot rivalry between similar shows benefits both in the long run, but oh well....)

I never watched "Totally Spies," but I've heard some good buzz about it. Hmmm....you suppose someone might put up a poll thread "Kim Possible and sidekicks fight Totally Spies, who wins?"

It plays regularly here in the UK on Fox Kids. Along with Jackie Chan Adventures, it's the most promoted show on the channel.

I hate ABC Family for getting rid of it. The only cartoons they even had anyway that weren't anime were Totally Spies and Braceface. Now Braceface has been in reruns for the past YEAR almost and Totally Spies is nowhere to be found.

Don't let this get around, but I heard from Bob Lamoreaux (co-head writer on the show) that it would end up on Cartoon Network. I don't know when exactly.

Sounds like it would be a good fit for them.

Maybe replace one of the doubly-played shows on SVES?
