A statement from ADV Films re: Giant Robot Week on Cartoon Network

HOUSTON February 25 2003 - Cartoon Network is currently airing episodes from Neon Genesis Evangelion Dai-Guard Martian Successor Nadesico and the Harmony Gold production Robotech during the afternoon Toonami block as part of Giant Robot Week (Feb 24-28 2003).

While recognizing the value and significance of the anime titles they were granted permission to broadcast Cartoon Network is also bound by the exigencies of daytime broadcast?including the requirement that the content they broadcast be per FCC regulations suitable for children. Cartoon Network?s edits which were minor were in accordance with FCC broadcast requirements.

ADV Films is very pleased that Cartoon Network requested episodes of these titles in their week-long celebration of the ?giant robot? genre of anime and we hope that their enthusiasm for the broadcast of anime will continue and grow.
