Anime Crash, crash landing again at Licensing 2004!

Date: Thursday, May 27, 2004

And you thought you could only buy anime from the usual suspects.



They say that lightning doesn't strike twice but then they've never met The Crash Media Group's boys in black! The men behind the house that anime built, Anime Crash, are back with a vengeance re-launching the Anime Crash brand name with a new, innovative technology.



In a three tiered strategy, Crash Media Group Inc and partner company

Abrams Gentile Entertainment Inc (both based in New York) will be

announcing the return of the Anime Crash brand name in style at the 2004 Licensing Show held June 8th - 10th in New York City's Jacob Javits Convention Center.



Crash/AGE are proud to present SHIDEN, a new anime production from

Kimio Ikeda (producer of such mega-hits as Astro Boy, Speed Racer,

Gatchaman, and founder of Jin Production, Tokyo). Best described as a

high-octane modern gothic anime adventure, the 26 episode SHIDEN is

currently in production in Japan, but an exclusive special preview will premiere for the first time anywhere (and we mean anywhere) at the Crash/AGE booth, where SHIDEN will be exclusively represented by

Crash/AGE to the licensing world.



Second is the release of Geisters: Fractions of the Earth, on DVD as the first branded Anime Crash title. A 26 episode groundbreaking sci-fi anime series with 2D and 3D animation, Geisters volume one will hit stores on June first, and the series will include unprecedented premium items including collectable figures and ID. case that will interact with each other using Crash/Age Inc's exclusively patented t-ink technology. Plans are also in development for a Geisters TV launch later in 2004/2005.




Next is Ki Fighter, the thinking otaku's Dragon Ball, created by Sung

Woong Yoo, President of Grimi Production based out of South Korea. A 26 episode series of stunning animation with hundreds of lovable characters, Crash/AGE will be introducing Ki Fighter into the U.S.

mainstream for 2004. Often referred to as the "Osamu Tezuka of Korea",

Mr. Yoo and his production company have animated of such international

heavy hitters as Captain Future, Tiger-Mask, G.I. Joe, and Transformers to name only a few!).





The final phase of Anime Crash's 1-2-3 punch is Talking Manga. Using

t-ink "thinking ink" technology (recently featured in Forbes Magazine)

Crash/AGE will unveil the world's only Talking Manga, which will

revolutionize the way anime and Asian PoP-Culture products are consumed in the world market.



Thus proving once again that the boys at Crash are indeed: Creatively Resilient Artistically Superlative Hubrists.
