ACCOUNT INTRODUCTION! PLEASE READ IN FULL.
This is the UNOFFICIAL-
“PUNCH PUNCH KYŪ KYŪ: DIGIGUARDS!”
-Preservation and archival account.
Hello! This is the “PUNCH-PUNCH KYŪ KYŪ:DigiGuards!” Archival and preservation team (just me)!
I was a big fan of this kids anime when i was little, and i’m hoping to preserve any media I can find from it!
“PUNCH-PUNCH KYŪ KYŪ:DigiGuards!”
-which was its English title used in its English dub’s Release, Or-
“パンチパンチ：友情アドベンチャー”
(Panchipanchi: Yūjō adobenchā!) -from its original release in japan around 1996, though the trademark was made in 1995 during its original “hand held pet” toy release.
It aired in Japan on “TV Asahi”(unconfirmed) and later in America on the “FoxKids” network(despite memory, it’s not credited to have been shown by them anywhere???) but I’m not actually sure if those were the only places it aired. It was (to my knowledge) originally pitched and developed by “名無しの権兵衛“ aka “Nanashi no Gonbei”, who was (allegedly?) 32 when he pitched the show.
It had 8(?) seasons (unknown if there were any others released outside of America?), a 4 episode second generation reboot before it was canceled because of negative reception from fans, a movie that was only ever aired in Japan, 5 (known) games, a trading card collectible game (only 3 cards actually found in readable condition), a hand held “カムアライブデジタルガード”(Kamuaraibudejitarugādo) which roughly translated to “come alive digital guard”, similar in design to tamagotchi eggs at the time, figurines, plushies, and candies. for a show with such a strong impact, i can’t find any physical or digital media from it that i didn’t already have access to.
i tried searching it up on google (with no luck), and several other Japanese search engines, but i can’t find anything aside from some very niche fan sites.
(This blog should hopefully be continuously updated by the team (just me 😔) Though, an important note, none of us speak Japanese, nor are any of us from japan, so please correct us if any of our translations are incorrect. )
please send me screenshots in my asks of media in our asks if you find anything!!
(hey, hi, note from the account creator here, all of this is fake/false. Everything the account posts is just made by one person (@pi-roach). There is no anime. Just a bunch of drawings from me in an attempt to fake an entire show. If you’re reading this, The whole goal is to just act like it exists, you’re free to make fake screenshots and things to have get put here as ‘lost media’ which you can put in my asks (NOT MY DM’S.) One rule. Please don’t make any nsfw art of any of the characters. I’m currently 16.)
