This Saturday, December 23, marks a milestone for anime and soccer fans, as Neox, Atresmedia's themed channel, will welcome "Campeones: Oliver y Benji" in its Kidz container. The series, which left an indelible mark on the 90s generation, returns remastered for the first time, becoming a special gift for the Christmas holidays.
The news was confirmed by Josep Pedrerol and the "El Chiringuito de Jugones" team, who carried out an eye-catching promotional campaign to announce the long-awaited premiere of an exciting "crossover."
The original series, known in Japan as "Captain Tsubasa," was created by Yoichi Takahashi in 1981 and became an international phenomenon under the title "Champions: Oliver and Benji."
Composed of 128 remastered episodes, the story follows the life of Oliver Atom, a young footballer who embarks on the adventure of conquering the world of football from his hometown, Shizuoka. The series, which had a massive impact in Spain, will be broadcast on Neox and will be available on Atresplayer from the same day.
The remastering will allow viewers to enjoy better picture and sound quality as they follow the exploits of Oliver and his inseparable soccer ball. From showdowns with Benji Price to thrilling shots on goal, the series promises to bring back the excitement and nostalgia of a golden age of animation.
This initiative joins the trend of resurrecting classics, following in the footsteps of hits like "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece", which returned to television with their original dubs. The arrival of "Campeones" to Neox demonstrates the continued interest in reviving productions that left an indelible mark on pop culture.
Atresmedia joins the wave of Christmas nostalgia with the remastering of "Campeones: Oliver y Benji". The series will be a special gift for anime and soccer lovers during the holidays, offering a new generation the opportunity to experience the excitement of the unforgettable soccer duo.
