Oh, it's certainly been on the road to destruction for months. When it will actually cave in significantly, however, I'm not so sure. Pretty bold statement to say it will happen next week, though. But I mean, if this news has some real significance behind it, I guess that would be possible. |

To all those trying to curse ADV, don't spin this article. You have no sources to back up your "ADV is dead" claims because your in no way closely associate with them noir do you live in Houston. From the looks of it, ADV is NOT going under but rather going through a "hibernation" period in which it won't aqqiure any more licenses until it finds a new Japanese investor. Rest assured, they will be plenty of new releases, but will probably be older anime titles since the company has about a few hundred licensed titles and old titles still in print.

What got ADV in the predicament in the first place? As an investor, Sojitz obviously expected a reasonable ROI, but they were seeing the opposite. Ultimately, it's still ADV's fault for behaving recklessly (probably through a false sense of security since they had big backing). When a company invests, you have the responsibility of making wise business decisions so that the partner also profits. |

Why do all of you want to condemn ADV? ADV has been distributing Anime for the longest time, you really think if ADV goes the industry is going to get better? Not really, we are going to lose one major chunk of Anime. FUNi, Viz , Right Stuff and Bandai will be the only major companies left. FUNi has been putting more vareity into their roster now, but they're only just beginning, and they are painfully slow, Bandai is speedy but they only do their own work, Viz only ever does the same old shounen and endless ripoffs, RightStuff well they're rather under the Radar, and I don't see much of their stuff.

Uh where have you been right stuff announced Aria and they Have emma and Maria watches over us. Right Stuff is a smaller company so the do not go after many titles. In terms of the ADV thing I do not see them going under at all. They are going thru some issue with the sojitz issue. And we do not know where the problem is with the deal they had. I don't think it was just ADV but both companies having issue. ADV may have low sales the what they tought and then Sojitz may have turn tail and ran instead of sticking with ADV or they may have been some issues with the Parent Company. Really we do not know and I think that they will get thru the storm. People just need to stop it with the doom and Gloom. Also I think that they have a enough back titles and still making money that way and they may be looking into other ways to get their product out. |

From the AOD forums back when the crap hit the fan in February:
I would have just linked to the thread, but I no longer have it bookmarked and I'm too lazy to search for it at the moment. I hope bctaris doesn't mind me sharing this. |

I've been lurking here following this for the past while,
but i feel i must vent... This is not ADV's fault, or at least not directly. The ball was dropped somewhere along the line, and we as customers are feeling it pretty hard. I feel pretty pissed off that of all the series that could have been canceled, it was Kanon. Not to mention that it was almost done, i mean this is not the first time this year that ADV pulled this kind of thing. We had that big scare at the beginning of the year too. I was also looking forward to Shattered Angels, but thats not gunna happen now either, i honestly just want to smash some heads into the damn wall right now, as im sure we all do Do i think ADV is going down the crapper? Thing may look really bad right now, but i still think there going. I would like to see an official press release with more detail on what the hecks going on. I think they owe us that at the very least |

ADV officially sucks. I'm keeping my Kanon preorder open but I'm beginning to care very little if ADV dies off. Once what I'm buying from them is done I'm strongly considering writing off anything else they license because of their huge inconsistency and decision to leave everyone in the dark.
