ADV Announces Nadesico: Essential Anime Vol. 3
ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF MARTIAN SUCCESSOR NADESICO: ESSENTIAL ANIME COLLECTION, VOLUME THREE
HOUSTON, January 14, 2005 -- ADV Films is pleased to announce the January 25, 2005 DVD release of Martian Successor Nadesico: Essential Anime Collection, Volume 3, the final volume of the fan-centric animation series that is perfect for aficionados of both science fiction AND wacky comedy.
Voted the “Best Anime Show of All Time” by Japanese animation fans, Martian Successor Nadesico was produced by XEBEC (D.N.Angel, Sorcerer Hunters) and features character designs by Keiji Gotoh (Kiddy Grade, Sorcerer Hunters, Those Who Hunt Elves, Gate Keepers). Noted for its clever use of anime in-jokes that presaged the cult hit Excel Saga, this new Essential Anime release from ADV utilizes advancements in subtitle technology to reveal previously unseen animation footage that was blocked by overlays in all previous ADV releases!
The crew of the Nadesico, the most powerful ship in the fleet, has to be ready to fight anywhere, anytime and at a moment's notice. From harrowing rescue missions to fierce deadly battles against evil foes like the Jovians, this team always fights with fury and might. But what will they do when their main computer develops a mind of its own? And then, when things couldn't get any worse, the Gekiganger team takes and turns the universe upside down as the truth about the Jovians is revealed!
Martian Successor Nadesico: Essential Anime Collection, Volume 3 (SRP $19.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release which includes two discs containing eight complete episodes in both English 2.0 and Japanese 2.0 language versions with English subtitles. Extras include: character bios, production sketches, commentary with Tiffany Grant (Ryoko), Cynthia Martinex (Hikaru) and Jay Hickman (Aktsuki), clean opening and closing animations and ADV previews
