ADV Releases Comic Party, Kalideo Star & Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok
On Sept. 19, 2006, ADV Films will release the first volume of COMIC PARTY: REVOLUTION TV, the fifth volume of KALIDEO STAR: NEW WINGS and the final volume of MYTHICAL DETECTIVE LOKI RAGNAROK. These titles follows ADV’s previous September releases of MACROSS, MICHEL, NANAKA 6/17, JINKI: EXTEND, THIS UGLY YET BEAUTIFUL WORLD and THE UFO ULTRAMAIDEN VALKYRIE OVA.
COMIC PARTY REVOLUTION TV offers an insider’s look at the world of fan comics.
After failing his examinations, Sendo Kazuki spends his days aimlessly – that is, until his childhood friend, Taishi, drags Kazuki into the world of fan comics. But this harmless diversion soon becomes an obsession as Kazuki is drawn further into otaku culture. In the dog-eat-dog world of fan comics, you need more than talent to realize your dreams.
A man-made island sits on the edge of Tokyo, well off the beaten path. The time is drawing near when this island of cold concrete will be set afire with passion. People will gather to draw manga, search for manga, and get passionate about manga. It’s a joyous celebration of individuals who’ve staked their entire youths on doujinshi. It’s - Comic Party. We rejoin Kazuki and Mizuki as college students as they immerse themselves in the otaku subculture. Kazuki has grown more confident in his abilities as a doujinshi (amateur comic) artist, but will all the girls distract him or help him succeed? And what of Taishi’s plans for world domination? Parodies abound and wackiness ensues in the first chapter of Comic Party Revolution TV.
COMIC PARTY REVOLUTION TV: LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED ($29.98) is a DVD-only release including the first five episodes, presented in both English 2.0 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles.

Directed by Junichi Sato (PRINCESS TUTU, SAILOR MOON), KALEIDO STAR is a animated series aimed at tweens and teens, combining playful elements of children’s anime with the sophisticated vision of Cirque du Soleil.
Leon pushes Sora to new extremes as he continues her special training to perfect the Angel’s Maneuver. After experiencing new lows, she soars to new heights. Just when it seems that Sora’s dream will finally become a reality, a challenger for the lead role comes along. Sora’s determination to keep her role forces her to face her competition head on. Her heart starts racing. Her stomach is full of butterflies. She experiences the thrill of competition and she likes it. After an impressive audition, the lead role is decided and the show goes on. Will Sora be able to perform a perfect Angel’s Maneuver and awaken everyone’s angel hearts? You’ll just have to watch to find out.

In MYTHICAL DETECTIVE LOKI RAGNAROK, Loki is the Norse god of mischief, now banished to Earth by Odin. Forced to exist in exile in a little boy’s body – but with all the powers of a god – Loki runs a private detective agency. Alongside his trusted assistant, Yamino, and a beautiful high school girl, Mayura, they set out to shine a light into the deepest corners of the paranormal. But there is one metaphysical mystery remains: Just what in the Heavens has Loki done to find himself banished to Earth?
