  MAR: Marchen Awakens Romance - Coming to Toonami Jetstream (July 17, 2006)!

  MAR is easily one of my favorite mangas, but I've never seen the anime before. In a few hours, I will be able to experience the MAR anime via YouTube. I'm getting very excited that it's coming to Toonami Jetstream, and I'd love to see the anime before it's dubbed. If you've never heard of this anime/manga, I suggest that you read below. I have posted a quick summary (thanks to Wikipedia).

  MAR: Marchen Awakens Romance is a popular manga series created by Nobuyuki Anzai - the creator of Flame of Recca. A television anime of the series also exists and in Japan is broadcast on TXN stations. The Anime is severely toned down from the manga, containing almost no blood (the manga is very graphic at times), referring to alcohol as "Paopu juice", and adding flashbacks, backstories, and dialogue that never occurred in the manga during battles, apparently to make the fight last an entire episode.

  The story follows Ginta Toramizu, a boy who always dreamed of a fantasy world, but now has actually been transported to one - MAR Heaven. Here, his physical weakness is replaced with physical strength. Ginta quickly meets the mysterious witch Dorothy, who introduces him to the powerful ÄRMs; artifacts that can possess the power to transform into weapons, summon monsters, or other abilities. Ginta obtains a special ARM call Babbo. Babbo is unique: not only is he a weapon ARM, but he is also alive and can therefore talk, drink, and move of his own accord. Babbo was once the weapon of an infamous Knight named Phantom, the leader of the Chess Pieces who has return to conquer MAR Heaven.

  As of 2005 the manga is still running and has reached about Chapter 112. The series is published in Japan by Shogakukan, in North America in English by VIZ Media, and in Singapore in English and Simplified Chinese by Chuang Yi.

  MAR has been announced to be a part of Cartoon Network's new online broadband service called Toonami Jetstream. It is slated to begin July 17, 2006.

  If you're interested in the MAR anime as much as I am, you can watch the first episode (in Japanese; subtitled in English) by clicking on the following URL address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D431jwqUxo. Enjoy!

  

  MAR owns your ass,
