Another surprise!
Digimon Adventure 02 is going to air in Japan on the Toei Channel.
Last year they aired Digimon Adventure, and it appears the overall schedule this time will be setup roughly identically to maximize the ability for fans to be able to catch the series on TV.
It starts with a special preview 'off schedule' airing of episode 1 on Sunday, January 6th at 7:00pm (all times for Japan.)
After that, the normal schedule begins on Monday, January 21st with episodes 1 and 2.
Each Monday, at 7pm, 2 episodes of Zero-Two will air in a row.
The next Monday, those same 2 episodes will air again at 8am.
If you miss the second airing on Monday, one final airing of those 2 episodes will be done that same Friday at 8am.
The schedule makes it reasonably easy for those in Japan to stay caught up, even if they don't record their shows (3 periods over nearly two weeks to watch an episode, and if you fall back to a Friday repeat, you can catch back up a few days later by watching a Monday repeat, and then the 'new' Monday airing.)
The schedule for the Toei Channel only currently goes up to dual airings of episodes 9 and 10 and single airings of episodes 11 and 12 (the schedule calendar only goes up thru the end of February at the time of posting), but the program page mentions they plan to air all 50.
Thanks to Digimon writer Hiro Masaki for the info and our friends at DigiSoul for the heads up.
