suspected WP:HOAX. There is no evidence such an anime exists. ANN has no entry on it at all. The content is contradictory (OVA doesn't air on Japanese TV), and 160 episodes? Such a lengthy series would certainly not have been overlooked by any of the Anime sources. No speedy option for hoaxes, so AfDing instead. Collectonian (talk) 22:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as hoax. I'm a huge fan of Gonzo Studios, who are the proclaimed to be the producers of this anime. If it ran on Cartoon Network since 2000 I would've known about it. Nothing on their website - either in English or from the Japanese i can read. Zippo on imdb. Proclaimed to be airing on the Anime Network who don't have it listed as a current or former show I don't think that a Japanese studio would make an anime about a NN American. It first proclaims to have 160 episodes, then in the table, claims to have 29 episodes. OVAs don't run for 160 episodes (OVA equals "original video animation", almost always some sort of mini-series). Seems to be a hoax hacked together using otaku jargon by someone who clearly isn't.

- Delete. Echo Doc Strange's comments. Doesn't exist, plain and simple. A textbook case of WP:BALLS. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
