Tenkai Knights
With Tenkai Knights doing fairly well in release in North America as the show continues on in Japan, it’s now getting a bit more exposure in the next few months with an Australian pickup. The series has been solicited for release there by Roadshow Entertainment with a planned June 11th, 2014 release. No details or pricing is available yet but it’s expected to run similar to what we see in the US with short-run discs of a handful of dubbed and TV edited episodes that are designed to appeal to parents by being very low priced The series is planned for 52 episodes in Japan, almost thirty of which have been broadcast in the US. The series is set to premiere in Japan in April 2014.
Plot concept: Eons ago, a cube–like peaceful planet named Quarton, populated by shape–shifting living bricks called Tenkai, was ravaged by a war between two opposite factions: the Corekai and the Corrupted led by the ruthless warlord Vilius who desired to obtain the source of Tenkai Energy for his own purposes. However, the only ones who were strong enough to defeat him were the Tenkai Knights: Bravenwolf, Tributon, Valorn and Lydendor. Facing defeat, Vilius unleashed the mighty Tenkai Dragon, who was later defeated by the four Knights and its fragments were scattered across the planet. These heroes were never seen again, but the Corrupted have returned more powerful than ever.
Now on planet Earth in the year 2034, four teenage humans named Guren, Ceylan, Toxsa, and Chooki find an interdimensional portal to Quarton where they are chosen by the Guardians to become the new generation of Tenkai Knights and prevent Vilius to take control of both worlds.
