Tamagotchi! (anime)

Tamagotchi! (たまごっち!^?) is an anime series by Jouji Shimura that airs on TV Tokyo, 7pm Mondays. It is the second Tamagotchi animated series to air in Japan. The anime is based on the handheld digital pet, Tamagotchi. But from the anime series, it is mostly based a newer version of Tamagotchi, the Tamagotchi iD and Tamagotchi iD L, a colored screen Tamagotchi pets based around friendship. There is also a manga series based on the anime called GOGO♪ TAMAGOTCHI! (ＧＯＧＯ♪たまごっち！^?), released in February 2010.

The series has been translated into English on Australian channel Go!, Chinese Mandarin on YoYo TV, Tagalog, and French. However, it has not been aired in the United States. The English translation is very poor, and with many mispronunciations.
