Viewtiful Joe

Viewtiful Joe is an anime series based on the video game franchise of the same name. The show loosely adapts the first two games.

It begins with movie lover Joe and his girlfriend Silvia attending the movies to watch an action film starring Joe's idol, Captain Blue. The leader of the evil Jadow force then reaches out of the screen and takes Silvia into the movie. Joe is forced to follow her by Captain Blue's mecha, Six Machine ("Machine Six" in the English dub), and meets Captain Blue in the flesh who grants Joe the power to become an action movie hero in his own right called Viewtiful Joe.

An English dub of the series aired on Kids' WB! from 2005 to 2006. In its native Japan, the series lasted two seasons and a total of 51 episodes. However, the dub contained only the first 26 episodes.
