Rave Master coming to UK TV

Various reports and rumours around the Internet are stating that Cartoon Network UK have picked up the 51-episode anime Rave Master and are expected to start airing the show on UK TV (probably on Toonami UK) during the first quarter of 2005.

Rave Master has been (and is) a popular show on Cartoon Network in the US and given this series is distributed (in the US) by Tokyopop, this perhaps hints that Tokyopop are continuing to increase their interest in the UK.

UPDATE: According to a post by IanC over at the AnimeonDVD forums, Toonami UK have lined up the popular anime One Piece to premiere at around the same period as Rave Master. Also, in addition to this news, Toonami UK are still planning on creating a late night Adult Swim block, but have yet to tie-up enough shows to license for it (unfortunately, they have already stated that they have no intentions of using anime in this block).
