Digimon Fusion Anime Joins CW's Saturday Morning Lineup

The CW Network has announced that the Digimon Fusion television anime series will join its Vortexx Saturday morning lineup starting on January 25. Digimon Fusion will air on Saturdays at 10:30 a.m.

The show's distributor, Saban, describes the series as follows:

Digimon Fusion is the all-new animated series and sixth installment of the Digimon franchise, the longest-running Japanese anime property. The series will feature all-new Digimon action and excitement following Mikey, a human boy, who is transported into the digital realm and must team up with his new “Digimon” or “Digital Monster” friends before their world is deleted once and for all. New fusion powers allow Digimon to combine and fuse their abilities to create endless battle possibilities.

Digimon Xros Wars, the original name of the sixth Digimon television anime series, premiered in Japan in 2010, and its follow-up Digimon Xros Wars: Toki o Kakeru Shōnen Hunter-tachi premiered in October 2011. Crunchyroll streamed the first series and simulcast the second series as it aired in Japan. The series previously aired on Nickelodeon in 2013.
