Tamagotchi! (Cartoon Network dub)

In mid-2010, a few months after Cookie Jar's unlicensed dub of the 2009 Tamagotchi! anime premiered, another dub of the series made it's premiere on Cartoon Network, with the channel's Burbank-based production division, Cartoon Network Studios, handling most production duties, and Bandai Entertainment co-producing the first 3 seasons. Typical for an anime dub, the scripts for this dub were translated, then adapted for an english-speaking audience.
A Polish dub had premiered on ZigZap (now TeleTOON+) in Poland 3 months before the Cartoon Network dub.
The series premiered on September 4, 2010 on Cartoon Network, with The CW and a handful of Fox stations simulcasting the first two episodes as well, resulting in over 115 Million viewers (64 million from Cartoon Network) tuning in. The series also premiered on YTV in Canada on September 24, 2010. 
The series saw it's terrestrial channel debut again on November 23, 2011 on The CW and Cartoon Network to celebrate the franchise's 15th Anniversary. The series finale (episode 143) aired in September 2013, and was followed up by the dub of Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream the following week. 
The series received a greatly positive reception. Critics praised the dub for being a nearly direct translation of the show (similar to what WHUT did to Let's Go! Tamagotchi), most especially the songs, as well as the humor, character arcs, and cutesy aesthetic, and fans praised that the series was accurate compared to the Cookie Jar dub. On top of that, Bandai and Cartoon Network (along with Washington D.C. CW station WDCW), in a multi-million dollar ad campaign, advertised the series as "animated adventures that audiences of all ages will enjoy". 
This has led to the series being nominated for numerous awards, and even winning the 2011, 2012 and 2013 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in the "Favorite Cartoon" category, beating out long-time winner SpongeBob SquarePants. It has also resulted in more people becoming aware of the Tamagotchi franchise, thus making it become one of the most lucrative media properties in the world, and greatly enhancing the profits of both Bandai and Cartoon Network.
In terms of dubbing, this even led to the anime becoming the first piece of Tamagotchi-related media to be dubbed in Basque (which aired on ETB 3), Catalan (which aired on Super3), Danish (which aired on DR Ramasjang and DR Ultra), Finnish (which aired on Yle TV2), Icelandic (which aired on RÚV), Galician (which aired on tvG2), Norwegian (which aired on NRK Super), Russian (which aired on 2x2) (also the second if you count the Russian voice-over of Tamagotchi Toons), Swedish (which aired on SVT Barn), and Welsh (which aired on S4C).
Currently, the series is syndicated on MyNetworkTV stations every Tuesday night, with Warner Bros. Television acting as the distributor for syndication. A "Cartoon Network Presents" caption appears before the intro in syndication. The series is also rerun on Cartoon Network and its many international variants, as well as various free-to-air kids TV channels around the world, and is available to stream on Netflix. 
== Summary ==
Taking place sometime after the events of Tamagotchi: Happiest Story in the Universe!, Tamagotchi! follows Mametchi, Lovelitchi, Kuchipatchi, Memetchi, and all of their friends, in their everyday adventures in Tamagotchi Town. As the series progresses, more characters, such as Melodytchi and Himespetchi, join the cast, with the last two seasons leaning towards a more story-focused, fantastical style.
==Plot==
===Season 1===
A very famous Tamagotchi idol named Lovelin moves to Tamagotchi Town to host a footrace. The following day, at school, a shy, yet sweet new girl named Lovelitchi came to class. Little were her classmates aware that she was actually Lovelin. Poor experiences in prior schools caused Lovelitchi to decide to keep her Lovelin identity a secret when transferring to Tamagotchi School. After Mametchi told Lovelitchi he sees her as a Tama-Friend, she soon gets nervous due to the fact that Tama-Friends are never dishonest with each other. On Mametchi's birthday, Lovelitchi announced that she was, indeed, Lovelin. She feared that her newly-made friendships would come to an end, but everyone was quick to forgive her, and she was relieved. Everyone at the party then resolved to keep her idol identity a secret amongst themselves and they would go on to join her in acting in TAMAX-TV's TV shows.
===Season 2===
Daily life continued from that point until a legend about "The Kuchipatchi of Truth" was learned about by Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi. It caused a variety of shenanigans, included teleporting the main cast back in time and Lovelitchi's cell phone, Telelin, coming to life. Telelin would join Lovelitchi on her adventures and would have adventures on her own.
===Seasons 3 and 4===
At the end of season 2, an outgoing violinist named Melodytchi eventually moves to Tamagotchi Town. Lovelitchi quickly became Tama-Friends with her and they became an idol and violinist duet, performing many songs together. Sometime afterwards, a new group of Tamagotchis would enroll into Tamagotchi School, causing some students to move into other classes to make room. Included in this group is Moriritchi, a bright and optimistic fashion designer. Moriritchi quickly became Tama-Friends with the cast, especially Lovelitchi and Melodytchi, with her camera Pashalin later joining the cast, developing a rivalry with Telelin.
===Season 5===
Shortly after, a human girl named Tomomi arrives on Tamagotchi Planet following a malfunction from one of Mametchi's inventions. At that time, a new conflict unfolds; the legend of the Tama-Hearts. These mythical hearts were floating about on Tamagotchi Planet, and if they weren't found in time, Tamagotchi Planet would face a permanent curse. Mametchi created the Tama Profys, devices that could store the Tama-Hearts shortly after they were uncovered, and gave them to Lovelitchi and Melodytchi. Every time a Tama-Heart was found, Lovelitchi and Melodytchi would take out their Tama Profy and store the Tama-Heart inside. At one time around that time, a mysterious Tamagotchi named Kizunatchi got out of the devices and offered to help with the search. Not long after, Tomomi leaves to return to the Earth and a new Tamagotchi girl from Spacy Land with a massive crush on Mametchi, Himespetchi, arrives and agrees to help with the search. 
=== Season 6 ===
With all the Tama-Hearts eventually found and stored in the Tama-Profys, citizens of Tamagotchi Town were soon turning into eggs. This was the beginning for what may be a permanent curse in Tamagotchi Planet, and if the Tama-Hearts weren't returned to their respective pillars on Heart Island in time, a rather unhappy ending is rest assured. Luckily, The Tama-Friends make it to Heart Island just before the curse gets any worse and manage to store the Tama-Hearts in their proper pillars. The sky then darkens, making them think something awful is bound to happen. Mametchi, Lovelitchi, Melodytchi, Memetchi, Kuchipatchi, and Himespetchi each made their hopes on the Tamagotchi Planet being Okay and the Egg curse to being stopped. Kizunatchi, only able to do so much to stop the curse, descended from the sky in a manner that saddened her Tama-Friends and made them run towards her, screaming her name. Kizunatchi soon evolved, and ended the egg curse once and for all. Everyone was turned back to their regular selves and, after a tearful farewell to Kizunatchi, everything went back to normal. Ms. Perfect called Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi, and announced that the three Tamagotchis have won the Robot Soccer Tournament and that they would be transferring to Dream Town in light of their victory. The entire class was surprised, especially Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi. Makiko remarked that the three will need to leave Tamagotchi Town, making Himespetchi tear up in the thought that her love was leaving.
