Either way, given ANN's policies on anouncements like this, they have SOME very reliable source telling them this and ADV isn't telling them otherwise. (Sounds like ADV just said "we're not ready to announce this. . . yet.") Also, just because they don't mention a source doesn't mean the information is incorrect. (Heck, the New York Times might go out of business if you removed all of their "unnamed sources."  )

Doesn't sound like a title which would sell that well here. But then Gankutsuou seems to be doing ok...
CornernedAngel:
ADV has plenty of mature titles. See Neo Tokyo, MegaZone, and Voices of a Distant Star as examples. It's just that there aren't enough mature fans to justify buying more of those types of shows. |

Part of the problem though is the companies and stores themselves not having faith in the titles. When you don't advertise what you have and you can't get brick and mortars to carry it when you do advertise, fans can't buy it. I'll be watching for this title when it comes out. It sounds interesting. (Hopefully ADV will make a kick-ass dub and an equally sweet art box. I'm not holding my breath on the art box though.) |

Considering that it features teenage characters and is aimed at teenagers (the most prolific text-messaging demographic), I have a hard time buying VODS as a "mature" title. But that's entirely off subject.

However, I have a sneaking suspicion that the fansubs will be continued on Chevalier despite this announcement. |

I only know what I've read on this forum about it and it is on my "want to see list."
It will be interesting to see how ADV handles this title since it does seem out of it's usual "range." But, with all businesses it is "expand, grow or die." And if they don't go beyond their "usual," how will they expand their reach and grow beyond what they are now. Of course, I'm sure that they have to know that we the fans/audience will be watching very closely as to how they handle the title. |

This is GREAT news! I've been really wanting to see this show...and to not only have it licensed, but to have it coming out so soon, and by a company that has some of my FAVORITE voice actors (I like the Full Metal Panic! dub better than I like the actual anime, and I was also really impressed with how they handled Princess Tutu), I'm...well...estatic. <3
I really hope it does come out as soon as the article says it might, because I can't wait to get my hands on this. ^^ |

if its ADV that makes me even more happy means I can get a cheap boxset in a couple years.

Most fansubbers today are mildly resistant to anything that takes their fansubs away. They'll wait for an official announcement from ADV, but that doesn't matter, they won't wait very long. Of course, some fansubbers are much more resistant and will continue to fansub the show (or start fansubbing it) even after ADV announces the license. I suspect this is why ADV is looking to release it so quickly. -t |

Hopefully it gets a "Full Metal Panic" quality dub and not a "Kaleido Star" dub. I really do hope they get a good director for the dub.
That said, unless the show really, REALLY gets good, I'm holding off until the eventual thinpak release. It's nice to know that ADV is still able to get their hands on some semi-popular series though, since they've been getting mostly lesser known series (Underwater Ray Romano aside of course). |

I decided to start watching Chevalier because its plot reminded me somewhat of The Rose of Versailles, but I actually didn't find the two series that similar apart from the setting and the main characters (along with a few other superficial similarites). Chevalier is much darker and, uh, weirder, although it's still very good in its own way. |

Well it will be interesting to see what they (fansubbers) do since an episode just came out the day before this announcement. And according to the big fansub hub, Chevalier still hasn't been placed on their licensed list yet, even thought when a series has a Geneon logo at the end of the credits they normally consider that enough to deem it licensed.
At least their going about this the right way, by getting the dvds out to people as quick as possible, I am going to probably stop watching it (even though it so good) and wait for the DVDs....this release reminds me of Ergo Proxy which is due out next week, very quick turnaround from licensing to dvd release.

Quick? Dude, it was announced way over a year ago. So it was pre-licensed and it didn't actually start airing until half a year later, but it has still been a long wait from the announcement.

Well, it's not "official" until ADV makes an announcement imo. Geneon having something does not equal Geneon Entertainment USA having it. It is clearly distinguished in the Japanese programs when Geneon USA acquires a title. |

Very nice. I would have liked to have seen NewGen pictures dub this but ADV has its share of good dubs so I'm defenatly not complaining.
