ADV Films Has 6 New Titles on the Way
ADV Films will release six new titles on Feb. 8, 2005, including NEON GENESIS EVANGELION PLATINUM: 05, GETBACKERS: BATTLES WITH THE PAST, MEZZO: SHELL 3, WEDDING PEACH: WEDDING DAY, SISTER PRINCESS: SISTERS AND SUNSHINE and SAINT SEIYA: FALLEN FRIENDS.
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION PLATINUM: 05 is directed by Hideaki Anno (NADIA: THE SECRET OF BLUE WATER, HIS AND HER CIRCUMSTANCES); produced by GAINAX (FLCL), NAS (YU-GI-OH!) and TV Tokyo (SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN); and animated by Production I.G. (GHOST IN THE SHELL) and GAINAX.
The first test of the new Eva unit ends in disaster. As the giant bio-humanoid runs out of control, both Asuka and Rei fail to stop it, leaving, Shinji to face the berserk monster alone, but will his compassion for the fellow child trapped inside the monster become his undoing? As Gendo unleashes the monstrous power of Unit 01’s dummy plug, it becomes horribly apparent that the Evas are far more than just machines. The truth behind the sinister mask of the Eva is revealed.
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: PLATINUM:05 ($29.98) is a DVD-only release, including three complete episodes in both English 5.1 and Japanese 5.1 language versions with English subtitles. The volume is housed in an exclusive metallic finish slipcover. Extras include: clean opening and closing animation; commentary with Matt Greenfield and Sean McCoy; full length animatics for episode 18, 19 and 20, The Mythology of EVANGELION, a 12-page profile booklet filled with screen shots and ADV previews.
Additionally, the first volume of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: PLATINUM EDITION is available as a Collector’s Edition ($39.98), which includes the Volume 1 DVD with an exclusive metallic finish slipcover and an attractive custom series art box to house all seven volumes. Extras include: one-of-a-kind numbered decal; profile booklet filled with screen shots, Japanese commentaries and character profiles; Episode: 01 commentary by ADR director Matt Greenfield; Episode: 02 commentary by Matt Greenfield and Spike Spencer (“Shinji”); clean opening and closing animation; and ADV previews.
GETBACKERS: BATTLES WITH THE PAST is the fourth volume of the hip new series. Based on the hit manga by Rando Ayamine and Yuya Aoki, the show was animated by Studio Deen (KING OF BANDIT JING, COWBOY BEBOP).
Ginji and Ban, two continually broke guys who seem to always be down on their luck, have made it their calling to retrieve items that have been stolen or lost for a price of course. Though they appear to be a normal duo, Ginji and Ban both have powers that allow them to take on impressive enemies. They'll dodge bullets, defeat supernatural enemies, even risk their own deaths; whatever it takes.
GET BACKERS: BATTLES WITH THE PAST ($29.98) is a DVD-only release, including five complete episodes in both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 language versions, with English subtitles. Extras include: clean opening and closing animation, behind the scenes: interviews with Dan Deitz (ADR Writer) & John Minnich (Makubex) and ADV previews.
In addition, the first volume of GET BACKERS is also available as a Collector’s Edition ($39.98), which includes the VOLUME 1: G & B ON THE CASE DVD and an attractive custom series art box to house volumes 1-5.
MEZZO: SHELL 3 was created by Yasuomi Umetsu (KITE).
Stay alive long enough in the danger business, and you’ll get a reputation. The funny thing about that – the better your reputation gets, the more people want you dead. The DSA know this all too well. Every body blow, fireball, and ricochet lets Mikura, Harada, and Kurokawa know that they’re doing something right. And, it must be something very, very right – because the line separating them from a closed-casket funeral keeps getting thinner. From the undead to the Black Scissors gang, from trained assassins to the boys in blue – with so many enemies, even the tiniest friend can mean the difference between life and death.
MEZZO: SHELL THREE ($29.98) is a DVD-only release, including four complete episodes in both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 language versions, with English subtitles. Extras include: clean opening and closing animation, production sketches and ADV Films previews.
