The Anime News Network is reporting that the Cartoon Network will air the Super Milk-chan Show sometime in 2005.  Although episodes from several ADV anime series were run as part of the Cartoon Network's ill-fated Giant Robot week several years ago, this will be the first ADV series on the Cartoon Network -- and it's easy to see why the Cartoon Network wants it, since the subversive tone of the Super Milk-chan series fits right in with satirical intent of much of the Adult Swim programming and all of its between-show commentaries. 

 

The Milk-chan series features a drooling, potty-mouthed five-year-old girl, who along with her companions, a robodog that pees on everything and a drunken slug, make up the least likely team of superheroes ever.

 

ADV has already released two volumes of the Super Milk-chan anime so far in 2004, with a third set for an October debut. 

 

This series should have considerable appeal to fans of South Park, and a good run on Adult Swim could create considerable interest when the Cartoon Network starts showing episodes.  Stay tuned for exact show times when they become available.
