4Kids Entertainment launched its Chaotic TV series in earnest last Saturday with a repeat broadcast of the first part of a two-episode cliffhanger that 4Kids used to tease the new series last September. The Chaotic TV series introduces viewers to a mythical trading card game that features tales of parallel worlds, incredible powers and fierce and fantastical creatures. 4Kids plans to run the second part of the cliffhanger as part of its 4Kids Saturday morning block on January 13th with the first of 40 new episodes set to debut on Saturday, January 20th.
The young protagonists of the Chaotic TV series discover that the Chaotic Trading Card Game they've been playing is a whole lot more than a game. They find that the unique codes on their trading cards are actually scans of real, living creatures with unique powers. The kids then use these fierce and fascinating beings to help further their gaming skills as they capture the codes of new creatures, new battle gear - even new locations -- in which to compete.
The TV series is closely tied to the Chaotic Trading Card Game. Kids will be able to have their own Chaotic experiences by playing the Chaotic Trading Card Game from TC Digital (a division of 4Kids Entertainment, which is manufacturing cards for the first time, see '4Kids Announces TCG Initiatives').
The Chaotic TCG is set to debut at comic and hobby stores this spring. Each card has its own unique code that not only ensures that virtually no two cards are alike, but also enables kids to upload their personal collection of Chaotic cards to battle and trade online for free at the Chaotic game portal. Through the TV series, viewers will be able to discover battle strategies that will ultimately help them master the Chaotic Trading Card Game for both on-line and off-line game play -- elevating the interactivity and engagement with kids to a new level for trading card games.
