HIT FANTASY-ACTION TITLE AVAILABLE IN STORES

HOUSTON, September 2, 2003- ADV Films, a leading distributor of Japanese animation in North America, today announced an October 21, 2003 release date for Saint Seiya: The Power of the Cosmos Lies Within, first volume of the highly anticipated fantasy-action anime series, and U.S. DVD premiere of the title.
The Saint Seiya series, an epic tale that became a sensation with fans in Japan after its original release, has been widely anticipated by the growing number of anime fans in the U.S. The series, which was acquired domestically by DiC Entertainment, is based on a manga by Masami Kurumada and produced by one of the top animation studios, Toei Animation (Digimon, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball).
Collector's Edition Available!
Saint Seiya: The Power of the Cosmos Lies Within is available in a Collector's Edition, including a custom art box sized to hold the first five volumes of the series.
The Story:
The cosmos is bound together by an incomprehensible web of strength, power and-some would even say-magic. And only by a select few may these forces be harnessed! Seiya is a mortal from Japan who has been trained and has excelled. The time has now come for him to test his skills in battle and to claim the sacred cloth: cloth that will change the order of the universe; armor that will earn Seiya a place in the cosmos; cloth that will establish his rank among the Saints. Through a series of tournaments and trials, Seiya must not only defeat some of the most powerful fighters ever to set foot in the ring, but he must also defeat the demons within himself... Long live the Saints! Long live Saint Seiya!
Saint Seiya: The Power of the Cosmos Lies Within (SRP $29.98 DVD; SRP $39.98 Collector's Edition) is a DVD-only release, including four complete episodes; English 2.0 and Japanese 2.0 audio, with English subtitles.
