Taffy's Bleach cleans up at MCM.

Distributor Taffy Entertainment has secured a deal with cableco MCM to bring Tite Kubo's anime series Bleach to France from September this year.

The manga title, which premiered in September 2006 on Cartoon Network in the US, follows the adventures of a 15-year-old boy gifted with the ability to see ghosts.

"We decided to acquire the show as we believe that Bleach is the most exciting animé series of this year," said Cécile Mercier, acquisitions executive at MCM.

MCM, which skews towards a 15- to 24-year-old audience, offers a selection of Japanese animation including the classics Saint Seiya and Dragon Ball, as well as new offerings such as Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.
