MUMBAI: Animax is launching Galaxy Angel, a show about five angels on a mission.

Galaxy Angel will premier on 8 December at 8 pm. There will be a repeat telecast the following day at 4 pm and 8 pm.

The five characters - Milfeulle, Forte, Mint, Ranpha, and Vanilla - are assigned to discover an ancient relic called Lost Technology.

Silent Mobius has made a debut on 6 December at 8 pm. The repeat telecast will be on the following day, at 12 am and 1 pm. The show charts a supernatural character known as Lucifer Hawk whose sole aim is to invade the earth. The Attacked Mystification Police Department, a special division of Tokyo police, is staffed by women who possess supernatural power.

Animax has also renamed its Kids Hour band between 3 pm-7 pm as Fun Fun Time. The block will feature anime shows titled Daigunder, Astro Boy and UFO Baby every Monday to Friday.

Says SET assistant VP Marketing Rohit Bhandari, "We have defined and created this time band as a branded property."

As part of the marketing initative Animax, the new branded band follows the school contact on-ground promotional activity undertaken late last month.

Recently the channel launched Get Irfan to School contest which is aimed at strengthening its 7-14-year-old core audience group.
