Stitch! The Anime Series Gets New TV Special!


Hi everyone it's Xebs, Mad House Anime Studio announces that they'll be airing the anime version of Lilo & Stitch called "Stitch! Perfect Memory", which will air on Japan's Disney Channel on August 7th 2015.

For those who don't know Stitch! the anime series is based on Disney's Lilo & Stitch! film. Disney co-produced the series with Japan's Mad House anime studio. Unlike the previous Lilo & Stitch! sequels which starred a Hawaiian girl named Lilo, the Stitch! series is based in a fictional island (not dissimilar to Japan's Okinawa) with a heroine named Yūna. The title character Stitch, a runaway alien test subject, remains largely unchanged in MADHOUSE's version.



This will be the first new anime special for the franchise in three years. Actress/model Yuu Aoi will guest star in the special as "Tiira," an information analysis robot from the Galactic Federation. In the story, a mysterious giant tank rocket begins stealing resources from various planets. On Earth, Yūna and Boogoo get involved in the incident and disappear. In order to save Yūna, Stitch teams up with Tiira.


"Stitch!: Zutto Saikō no Tomodachi"

The anime series spawned two sequel series in Japan: Stitch!: Itazura Alien no Daibōken and Stitch!: Zutto Saikō no Tomodachi. The original series premiered in Japan in 2008, and the two sequels premiered in Japan in 2009 and 2010. A one-hour sequel special, Stitch to Suna no Wakusei, aired in 2012. The series premiered on Disney XD in the United States but only five episodes aired. The first season has aired with the English dub in other territories.
