Hero TV Will Air Final Episodes of Tide-Line Blue on Saturday

Philippine television channel HERO TV announced on its Facebook page on Monday that it will air the final episodes of the Tide-Line Blue anime on July 25. The network apologized for not being able to air the episodes as scheduled on July 18, as it suffered from technical issues from 10:20 a.m. to 10:40 a.m. The channel airs Tide-Line Blue on Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

In the anime series, a catastrophe called "Hammer of Eden" resulted in the loss of six billion lives and the flooding of 90% of the land. The New United Nations were formed to pursue peace on the ruined lands 14 years later. Keel is a boy living in a town called Yabitsu, an area which prospered due to the energy from the nuclear generator brought by the catastrophe. His next kin, Aoi, is the secretary general of the New United Nations. She views the catastrophe as an opportunity to create a new world in which nations can help one another overcome differences in races and religions. However, her efforts to realise that vision fail because of the unwillingness of the nations to change. Gould, a military officer, feels that the only way to make an order is through the military. Using Ulysses, a nuclear submarine, along with his crew, including Keel's brother Tean, Gould carries out a coup to declare war against the New United Nations in his attack on Yabitsu.

The TV anime premiered in Japan in July 2005. Bandai Entertainment licensed the series in North America and released it in four DVD volumes in 2007. HERO TV first aired the anime in the Philippines in March 2013.
