On Monday, TV Tokyo and Capcom held an exhibition of the new Viewtiful Joe anime, which is set to begin airing on October 2nd. TV Tokyo producer Susumu Matsuyama commented that since the original game has been highly praised overseas, they do want to release the program outside of Japan, centering on the North American and European markets which are already familiar with the franchise.
An original female character named Sprocket was also revealed at the event, and you can find pictures of her and a crazy man in a Viewtiful Joe costume over at Dengeki Online.

Hopefully this show keeps a cheesy type personality, but keeps it a more mature show instead of a show just for kids. Many of the aspects of Viewtiful Joe appeals to an older audience that actually 'gets' the jokes from the game.
The new character is pretty cool too. I don't know what role she will play, but hopefully she won't be edited. Actually that character design really gives me hope, because it appears it is being geared towards older audiences.
This show could be great for Cartoon Network, or even FoxBox. Wherever it goes I hope it is a success.
