Kitty and her twin, Mimmy, explore and learn life lessons in this octet of eight-minute episodes sandwiched between animated puzzles and clay shape play. The feline pair plant morning glory seeds, visit town with their parents, nurse a bird with a broken wing back to health, learn manners and safety, go underground with a mole friend, and in a storybook adventure visit a nice woman who turns out to be a witch. This new series is a departure from Hello Kitty’s first foray into television, with a largely unsuccessful fairy tale format, in that it combines ordinary teaching moments and flights of fancy–literally, as the twins travel via hot air balloon. While the Japanese-based marketing frenzy is aimed at teen girls, this series is strictly for kids. (Ages 3 to 7) –Kimberly Heinrichs

“Riddle Me This” finds Ash on his way to the island of Cinnabar to win his volcano badge, but when he, Misty, and Brock arrive, they discover that tourism has taken over the island, leaving only a dilapidated, deserted gym. When Togepi chances upon a secret entrance to the island’s volcano, the group finds a secret Pokemon gym headed by the riddle-loving Pokemon master Blaine. Do Squirtle, Charizard, and Pikachu stand a chance against Blaine’s arsenal of fire Pokemon? “Volcanic Panic” begins with Ash’s admission of defeat–he just can’t sacrifice Pikachu in the hopes of winning his seventh badge. The evil Team Rocket has followed Ash’s group to the volcano and is plotting to freeze and capture Blaine’s fire Pokemon Magmar. You’ll never guess which of Ash’s Pokemon helps thwart Team Rocket’s attempt, saves the island from a deadly volcanic eruption, and eventually defeats Magmar in a badge-winning battle. Ash’s plans to return to the Viridian City for his eighth badge are interrupted in “Beach Blank-Out Blastoise,” when the group encounters a frantic Wartortle that leads them to the Island of Turtle Pokemon. Upon their arrival, the group encounters a host of sleeping turtles and a snoozing Blastoise. It seems that Jigglypuff has become wedged in the Blastoise’s water cannon and is putting everyone to sleep. Can Squirtle and Pikachu wake up the island and save the Blastoise from Team Rocket? Parents concerned about violence should, of course, be vigilant. (Ages 5-10) –Tami Horiuchi

Satoshi Kon’s eerie fantasy grows darker and more disquieting as it progresses. All Tokyo is fixated on the seemingly random violence of Lil’ Slugger. In episode 9, a group of gossipy housewives trades increasingly outrageous stories: Lil’ Slugger brained a pitcher during a major league baseball game; he attacked a man on a desert island; he appeared in a pregnant woman’s ultrasound. After swapping lies, one of the women is ecstatic to discover her husband has been beaten by the mysterious adolescent. Episode 8 reveals Kon’s black sense of humor: An old man, a younger man, and an adolescent girl ineptly try to fulfill an online suicide pact. When they see Lil’ Slugger at an inn, they eagerly pursue him. Kon loops back to the main narrative when violence strikes the studio that’s animating Maromi, the cute little dog created by Tsukiko, the first victim. (Rated 16 and older: violence, tobacco and alcohol use) –Charles Solomon
