Is there anyone here who knows Super Pig or as it is called in Japan: Tonde Boorin? It's a very funny Anime and below you can find the story:
Karin Kokubu (Kassie Carlen) is late for school one day when she comes across an apparently injured yellow pig. It turns out the pig wasn't injured but just hungry, and he gets back his health when he eats Karin's apple. When Karin gets to school she discovers that the pig has stowed away in her backpack which causes her more trouble. Later she meets the pig again and finds out he can talk and fly, he gives her a "pigompact" which she opens; a pig snout appears from it and attaches itself to her nose! She finds the pig again, who explains that he is actually Prince Tonrariāno III (Iggy Pig) of the planet Buuringo. He tells her how she can transform: by saying "BA BI BU BE BOorin!" she transforms into a superpowered pink piglet called Buurin. This is not something Karin is happy about at all as she'd rather transform into a heroine like her idol the henshin hero tokusatsu character "Cutey Chao" (who is possibly a referance to Cutey Honey). Tonrariāno (who she calls Ton-chan) tells her if she can collect 108 pearls by doing good deeds as Buurin she can do so. The series contains 51 episodes.
They aired the show in English when Fox Kids started somewhere in 1998 or something, but it didn't ran for long. Then after a lot of campaigning the show returned in 2004, dubbed in Dutch and called Super Big. I like the show very much, because it is very funny, the only downthing is, that the American version changed the music, cut some minor scene's, removed her henshin and put in so many puns and stupid jokes that it sometimes isn't funny anymore. But it's still funny to watch. Does anyone know if this series will ever get a DVD release by someone let's say ADV?
