Panda Kids, a leader in Portugal's children's and young adult content, is adding "Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens," the latest anime series in the popular "Yu-Gi-Oh!" franchise, to its Monday-Friday primetime lineup. Mark Kirk, Senior Vice President of Distribution at Konami Cross Media, made the announcement.

"As 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens' continues its successful run on Disney XD in the U.S. while also airing on '9GO!' In Australia and Etisalat in the Middle East; we are pleased to bring the latest series in our anime franchise to Portugal, where Panda Kids is one of the most popular channels with young viewers across the region," said Kirk. "Much of its success is owed to Japanese anime and 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens' will continue to strengthen the channel's appeal and popularity," he added.

Panda KIDS, owned by Dreamia, a joint venture between AMC Networks International Iberia and NOS, has picked up Seasons 1 and 2 of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens," comprising 92 episodes, which will air in the 21:00h time slot, Monday-Friday. Panda KIDS was launched last year by Dreamia and is available on operators NOS, MEO, Vodafone, and NOWO, as well as on Angolan operator ZAP. It stands out for having fun content adapted to the preferences of its young audience, who prefer to enjoy a unique and exclusive viewing experience.

In "Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS" Yuga Ohdo may seem like any other 5th grader in Goha City, but he's about to take his favorite game to the next level by inventing a whole new way to duel - Rush Duels. Unlike previous duels, Rush Duels are faster and simpler but with fantastic new strategies that make each fight more dynamic than the last. Yuga can't wait to share Rush Dueling with every Duelist out there, but Goha Enterprises - the megacorp that controls the whole city - is having none of it! They're the ones who dictate how Duels are supposed to be played, so they will use everything in their arsenal to crush this kid! But if they think that will stop Yuga from building his road to freedom - they don't know Yuga.
