I really hope ADV does well with this series. It's peaked my interest solely by virtue of being both extremely popular in Japan and extremely odd sounding. I'm not as interested in it as I am in Kanon or a possible Clannad license, but I intend to check out the "awesome frog show" as so many refer to it.
Plus, how can this series be "non-kiddish action/drama" when it's got episodes involving such things as a spoon that makes things gigantic and the titular character is an alien frog? Granted, I haven't watched the series, but the plots sound quite funny and not that adult. (I read about the spoon plot on another thread about this series. I'm guessing this is the source of Mur in UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie's spork that makes him enormous for a few seconds.) Also, according to the wiki lords:

I think Lord Dolmus was being sarcastic

Diamond isn't always accurate, and more importantly, Diamond's listings are not official solicitations and should be treated as tentative pending official confirmation. They said Geneon was going to release a MariMite boxset this fall but that never happened. There have been other things they've mentioned that didn't come to pass, but I don't recall any other specifics. |

There was a bit of this same kind of thing when Funimation licened Jigoku Shoujo and used the direct English translation of Hell Girl for the title's release here in R1 land. (This is the most recent example I'm aware of but there are others.) The title is the basically the same either way, but some acted like using the English translation somehow "defiled" the anime. A much more extreme version, with some merits to both sides, would be the ongoing "death god" vs. "soul reaper" translations of shinigami. There you've got more nuances of translation and supposedly in the case of Bleach, the creator's preference vs. fan's perception of how important a literal translation of the Japanese term is. Not that any of this has that much to do with ADV, but my only point is that no emoticons or hint words were present for me to automatically ascribe sarcasm to Lord Dolmus's post as the point as made in the post is an acctual position held by a number of anime fans. |

The "non-kiddish action/drama" part makes me think it's a joke; I don't want to believe that anyone would seriously say that. lol |

finally, a date for Gurren Lagann. the only thing that could make this more perfect is on-air syndication.

So here is the new cover for the 1st Gurren Lagann DVD (I am still not sure if it is final.)
http://www.animeondvd.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/26700/ Also if you read through the thread an ADV rep confirmed that there will be 6 DVDs instead of 7. |

i hope that's not the final logo, cause that's really generic. |
