Moretsu-kai in Kiteretsu and Chimpui will air on Malaysian TV

Today I've found two things around the Fujiko anime genre. The first one is in Kiteretsu on TV3 where there is a new character called Moretsu-sai. He was once a good friend of Kiteretsu since their youth years while studying at Nagasaki, creating new things together, until Moretsu-sai saw Kiteretsu-sai making a robot that would be called Korosuke. This causes Moretsu-sai to start disliking Kiteretsu-sai's inventions, so he build his own robot called Koronoshin. The robot is more powerful than Korosuke. The below picture is the ancestor of Moretsu-sai and Koronoshin in the episode.

Meanwhile after I watched Kiterestu I suddenly saw a promo for a Fujiko anime called "Chimpui". It will be airing on Disney Channel Asia (Astro Channel 615) on November 14 at 1:30 pm. I was extremely excited because this would be the first time a Fujiko anime will be airing on a Malaysian pay TV channel. More than that, it airs for the whole Southeast Asian region because of their coverage. Even more importantly, this is the first time a Fujiko anime will be broadcast English-dubbed. The preceeding Fujiko animes (Doraemon, Perman and Kiteretsu) have been aired on free-to-air TV while Fujiko Fujio A's animes (Ninja Hattori-kun and Kaibutsu-kun) have also formerly aired on free-to-air TV and on Astro Ceria.
