The following was originally posted on Tformers.com

Its not all playtime over at Takara, Japan. Most recently the cameras have been rolling on Takara's very own mobile cable channel, TAKARAND. The big news here is Beast fans in Japan will finally get to see Beast Machines in language! The show will go under the Japanese translated name of "Beast Wars Returns" and is set to debut in 2004.

Hmm. Five years late, but better than never, I guess.

Discuss.

Aren't some Japanese series still YET to receive English dub/version? I'd say five years later is indeed better than never.

To me, Beast Machines was the best animated TF series so far. Too bad they never aired it here

Now if only we could get proper dubs of the jap bw series'

you guys all keep whining that in japan (or america) it takes so long to get anything.
Well I live in Europe and everything is more expensive or gets shown really late.

I rather like it... more complex than either 'G1' or BW... on the one hand, you have a maniacal tyrant dedicated to creating order by wiping out choice and free will... and on the other hand, you have Primal also forcing everyone to submit to radical consequences because it's either that or be wiped out.

I've only really watched the final episodes so far, but I like it.

Interesting. Beast Machines was OK but I really didn't care for it as much as Beast Wars. Hope it gains a better following in Japan then it did here.
