GMA Anime Block Fights Back!

 Will GMA prove that they are Philippines' Premiere Anime Authority? This case is just brewing.

GMA has this tradition of announcing their new anime shows during the Holy Week and from the shows that they announced last year, only 4 aired. Now, GMA announced that they will air Shin Mazinger Z, the live action adaptation of Detective Conan and new episodes of Pokemon (Probably Battle Frontier onwards), Doraemon and Detective Conan.

Considering their current anime achievements namely: they were able to air the first half of One Piece’s Water 7 Arc, Bleach’s Arrancar and Huenco Mundo Arcs, the last Hunter X Hunter OVA, Hajime no Ippo: Champion Road OVA and currently, they are airing Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger under the Knockout! Title, I have a baaad feeling about Shin Mazinger Z. Considering that they were not able to finish the original Mazinger Z according to this article.

At the end of the day, the big question is, can they prove that they are the premiere  ANIME AUTHORITY here in the Philippines like what they said? Or the brand the Anime Authority title is just a misnomer for them?
