Seeking information on "Dōkyūsei" release

[DocWatson]

I am looking for the original release of Dōkyūsei ~Natsu no Owari ni~ (http://web.archive.org/web/20021011202950/ho.ho.net/kakyuusei/background.html) (a further description (http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.anime.misc/msg/6c96250770ee6b75?dmode=source)), issued in English by A.D. Vision as End of Summer [vol. 1] (http://www.rightstuf.com/aod/vhse001). Does anyone know the VHS or laserdisc catalog number? For reference, here are the separate releases (http://www.shop-yamada.com/ldb-14.htm#JSLA-52401), which I already have:

According to ja.wikipidia.org, the original releases were rental VHS only. 2 eps per tape, then the retail VHS/LDs were 1ep with additional scenes, which was apparently trend-setting. I don't think there was a single original OVA and then additional ones made like the raam post says, unless they were referring to the 2 Climax Files that came later. There was also the "My Sweet Memories" compilation and then the Forever Collection LD Box, which I believe both had additional footage.

Ah—thanks. :sdsmiley: That makes sense. And no, the other Watson was not referring to the Climax Files.
