Take from http://www.animenewsservice.com/, yet again (I wuv that site!)

" Central Park Media and Adult Swim are proud to announce CPM's award-winning CG sci-fi horror anime "Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek" is to be broadcast just in time for Halloween on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. An Adult Swim Halloween special and the "Kakurenbo" worldwide network television premiere, CPM's "Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek" will air at midnight on October 29th between episodes of Adult Swim favorites "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Samurai Champloo."

"Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek" is the first film by the new animation studio YAMATOWORKS, an independent computer graphics production house founded by Syuhei Morita, a veteran of the prolific Studio 4C (The Animatrix, Steamboy). Morita left Studio 4C to found YAMATOWORKS to create CG productions with the look and feel of a traditional 2D animation. Despite "Kakurenbo" being YAMATOWORKS's first project, "Kakurenbo" attracted some of the biggest voice acting talent on both sides of the Pacific - its cast led by Junko Takeuchi (Naruto) in Japan and Michael Sinterniklaas (Alien 9, Fullmetal Alchemist) in North America.

Screened at more than twenty of the most-prestigious film festivals around the world including the Tokyo Anime Fair, Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, and Fantasia International Film Festival, "Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek" has won awards including Best Short Film at Fantasia and the Exemplary Production Award at the Tokyo Anime Fair. Preview showings at Anime Expo, Comic-Con, and Otakon this past summer have been standing room only, and "Kakurenbo" continually receives critical acclaim. Play Magazine recently called "Kakurenbo" "as timeless as it is beautiful." Anime on DVD has said of "Kakurenbo" simply "Haunting. Beautiful. Tragic. Brilliant." "



Hmmm... I don't get CN, but seeing this title on AnimNfo didn't really interest me... *shrugs* Guess I'll hear from all yous Americans when you watch it!
