Anime Expo - ADV Films Panel

By Andrew Tei     July 04, 2003

Heading the panel was David Williams, Matt Greenfield, and John Ledford.

First we had the ceremonial listing of the titles that ADV has. Yeeeeeeeeeah.

Then they showed the list of titles they have announced since Anime Boston.

Next up was the list of announcements. First up was Kino no Tabi (how surprising). They then showed a trailer for Slayers Premium confirming what is means when you have ALL of something. For the third showing, we get Gravion. Mahou Yuugi was fourth. Gravion was confirmed as being the home video version.

They then announced a few shows without video. They have an old show named Birth, then mentioned something named Bast of Lemon and Mani Mani. (Neo-Tokyo was the name Streamline used) They confirmed the Azumanga Movie, then DNANGEL.

Next, David used his powers to get Matt to also announced the RahXephon Movie and and Nurse Witch Komugi-chan.

After this, they showed a few trailers. First up was Angelic Layer, then Zaion. The first episode of Angelic Layer will be on the DVD in the September issue of NewType.

After this, they moved to talk about the Anime Network, by showing their commercial from it and announced like 15 cities it would be appearing in soon.

Southern Cross was shown with remastered and original video side by side. The difference was huge. They also showed the covers for Steel Angel Kurumi 2. If you?ve seen the Cosplay Complex R2 DVDs, you?ll know exactly what I mean here. They have removable clothing, and you can put different outfits on them, or leave them in their underwear.

Next up, ADV announced their new publishing division. The manga titles include:

Demon Palace Babylon

Cat Girl Nuku Nuku

Cat Shit One

Dark Side Blues

Full Metal Panic

Kimera

Those Who Hunt Elves

Seven of Seven

Demon City Shinjuku

Steel Angel Kurumi

Azumanga Daoih

Demon City Hunter

Raxhxephon Bible

Najica

Gunslinger Girl

To Heart

Figure 17

Happy Lesson

They will be unflipped and $9.99. More details will be covered tomorrow.

An ADV toy division was also announced. It?ll have things like wallscrolls and posters.

Tomorrow, we?ll also hear about ADV Pro, their production division.

They also showed some ADV soap, which is great since when you use the soap you uncover a toy in the middle.
