RTL Croatia and Pro Plus Slovenia pick up the latest installment of popular Anime Series
As Anime continues to soar in popularity, Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS has been picked up by RTL Croatia and Pro Plus Slovenia, the leading commercial platforms in their territories and owned by Central European Media Enterprises (CME).
At this year’s MIPTV ’24, Konami Cross Media NY is represented by Mark Kirk, SVP of Distribution, who made the announcement today.
Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS, featuring all new characters and adventures, will debut in Croatia and Slovenia in the second quarter of 2024. MENART, the company who distribute the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME locally, are also overseeing localization of the series for Croatian and Slovenian audiences.
“We are pleased that our partners in Croatia and Slovenia are finding a great deal of success with the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise,” said Kirk. “Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS gives fans a brand-new twist with the introduction of ‘Rush Duel,’ allowing for more faster paced and frantic dueling among Yuga and his friends. As proven in the U.S., and many other key territories worldwide, anime fans are excited to see the latest Yu-Gi-Oh! Adventures.”
Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS is the seventh series for the Anime franchise and introduces a new protagonist, Yuga Ohdo. Yuga Ohdo may seem like any other 5th grader in Goha City, but he’s about to take his favorite game to the next level by inventing a whole new way to duel – Rush Duel! Unlike previous duels, Rush Duel are faster and simpler, but with awesome new strategies that make each duel more dynamic than the last! Yuga can’t wait to share Rush Dueling with every Duelist out there, but Goha Enterprises – the megacorp that controls the whole city – is having none of it! They’re the ones who dictate how Duels are supposed to be played, so they’re going to use everything in their arsenal to crush this kid! But if they think that’s going to stop Yuga from building his road to freedom – they don’t know Yuga!
