News and Events

26/Sep/1997: ACC screened their last episode of Sailor Moon (DIC #65). The latest word is that the new episodes will be shown on ACC early next year. We will post updates here when we find out more.


20/Sep/1997: Somebody decided to list our site in the "Dept of Youth" section of SYTE in today's Weekend Australian. We're very grateful for the publicity and all that. But we're not too happy that the editors didn't check and notice that they'd listed an ADULT site in a CHILDRENS' section.


19/Sep/1997: Agro's Cartoon Connection introduced a couple of new segments today. The first, called "Agro's Friday Funnies", showcases out-takes and bloopers. The second, called "Agro's Classic Crack-Ups", is basically their attempt at our "Embarrassing Moments" section. Mimicry is the greatest form of flattery don't you think? :-)

BTW, today's chat session with Brad has been cancelled. He'll be on next week.


16/Sep/1997: For the week beginning Monday September 22nd the ACC cast will be in Sailor Moon costume! Should be good for a laugh. We'll put the results online soon after. :-)


29/Aug/1997: Today's chat session went really well. It'll be a regular event - an ACC cast member online every Friday at 4pm EST. Go check the Features section for Brad's chat transcript.


23/Aug/1997: Friday's chat session really rocked! Pity more of our questions didn't get answered though. I guess you have to expect that when you're sharing a channel with 200 people! :-)

We have placed a transcript of the IRC session in the Features section. We took the liberty of removing all the joining, leaving, kicking, etc messages. All the questions and answers are untouched.

Next Friday, August 29th at 4pm (EST) it will be Brad's turn to talk. (We'll make a transcript of that session too.)


17/Aug/1997: Seven have just launched their new-look web site. It's very impressive. All you Terasa fans take note - she's in the hot seat this week! There you can read an interview with her and also find out about an IRC session being held this Friday 22nd August, where you can chat with Terasa.


16/Jul/1997: We've updated the Cast section. It now includes a Gibbo and Crikey interview.


6/Jul/1997: Checkout this item from last Sunday's Melbourne Herald Sun. Follow the thread to find out more.


1/Jul/1997: On the June 30th episode you may have noticed a second camera crew roaming about the Cartoon Connection studio. It turns out that they were compiling footage for a story to be aired on Saturday, 12th July, 5.30pm on the Channel 7 program "The Sydney Weekender".

Unfortunately, the show is only screened in NSW. Southern QLD viewers along the Gold Coast strip between Tweed Heads and Coomera can view the show on Prime Television. If you live close to the NSW border on either side, check with your local provider of Seven Network programs (if you have one) to see if it is available in your area.


24/Jun/1997: On this morning's episode of Cartoon Connection Agro announced that Sailor Moon will be returning on Monday 30th of June!


15/Jun/1997: Check out the Features and Embarrassing Moments sections for new material. Amongst this stuff is the Logie footage.


1/Jun/1997: Check out the Features section. Agro assisted in the return of an aboriginal artefact last week.


18/May/1997: Agro's Cartoon Connection won its seventh Logie today. Terasa accepted it. But during her speech she got a little bit confused about which city she was in. We'll sample and grab the footage as soon as we find some free time. Well done guys!


21/Apr/1997: Brad Hills, the latest member of the Cartoon Connection crew made his debut appearence today. He quickly settled in as Agro's latest foil.


3/Apr/1997: Terasa's Birthday card has been sent. An HTML-ised version may be found in the Features section.


24/Mar/1997: Agro has an official web page now. Go visit him at http://www.seven.com.au/agro/. It has some interesting background info on the cast - but it's more geared towards a kiddy audience.


19/Mar/1997: A Guestbook has been added to the site. Why not register your visit? Terasa's Birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks or so. Anyone who wishes to add a message to our Birthday card please send email to terasa_at_holon_dot_net (deadline April 3rd). The message can simply be your name if you like.


1/Mar/1997: Good news - Sailor Moon is going to return. But if you're familiar with the FAQ you'll realise that it'll have to be re-run material. "Agro's Cartoon Connection" has shown all available episodes.

So until DIC pulls its finger out (which it won't because the as-yet untranslated episodes are deemed unsuitable for North American kids) we'll all have to be content with re-runs (or learn Japanese).

That's okay by us (for now) 'coz Derek and I haven't seen all of those first 65 (DIC) episodes. BTW, for those who are interested, DIC episode 65 corresponds to the orginial Japanese episode 72. Here's a brief synopsis of that episode.


23/Feb/1997: Finally we have launched the page. You can help us by having a listen to this. (Here's more info about the clip.) If your computer couldn't deal with it then you'd better click on the button below and pick up the latest version of the Real Audio software because it's all we'll be using for audio.


12/Feb/1997: We are so very sorry about the delays. This page is getting so many visitors, and so much feedback. It's just incredible. We know you're hanging out for the new-look page.
