I was waiting for Keroro Gunso to hit the US. I'm surpised that bandai let it go. But I'm glade ADV got it, they should do a good job on the Dub, hopefully.

If Bandai got it, there wouldn't be any sort of liner notes or on disc reference notes. |

Wow, so ADV can finally boast of an A-list anime license coup....oh, I guess they can't. To me, the ADV library has just been terrible lately. It's been a long time since they have released anything good. Back in the good old days, they seemed to be the major player and I liked a lot of their shows, but they're washed up now. I mean, name me the last GREAT show they've released. Elfen Lied is the only thing that comes to my mind and that's over a year old. As long as they keep their manga releases coming.....whoops, nevermind. Why don't they get that freaking frog to update their manga site!!!!!!! Who did they bribe to be voted best anime company? They should just keep on cranking out their yearly Evangelion rererererererereleases whose relevance was destroyed by Rahxephon. Does anybody remember that live action movie??? The real meat is being put out by Bandai, Funimation, and Geneon. Even a smaller player like Right Stuff puts out better shows like Boys Be and Piano. And how about their self congratulating magazine Newtype which managed to up its price about 35% while reducing content. What a sad company of losers in decline.

I have discovered that a Fresh Toasted Subway Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki with cheese is the sandwich equivalent of a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster mixed with Suudsu. Puuuuure genius...*head explodes* |

Yeah they finally got Kerero Gunsu (sgt. frog).
It's about freaking time. They better not butcher it and only do the subtitles. "KUKUKU" (|@_@|) Last edited by Ranmah on Thu Nov 16, 2006 6:35 am; edited 1 time in total |

Sweet! ALL HAIL KERORO! I also hope that ADV will include explanations for the jokes.

For those who didn't know this - ADV site had been down since Saturday. It had said it was under reconstruction but I never saw anyone mention it. I looked around several message boards but never saw a thing (I'd been trying to get into the site off and on all week with no luck).
It's nice to see Sgt Frog is now out of licencing limbo  . I do have to figure out how to get into the rest of the ADV site, if it's up. And it does look like part of it is back up because my direct link (via browser history) to the November Club newsletter just came up (which is what I've been trying to get into all week - I needed to see if going to my anime club meeting in two weeks to watch this months preview would be worth driving home at night or not).

Anime on DVD just reported a February solicitation for Sgt. Frog:
Pretty quick annnouncement if you ask me. Heck, I'm buying it simply because it's a Junichi Sato-directed show, and I'm a big fan of his work (namely, Princess Tutu and Kaleido Star, two great shows that ADV released this year). Now all we need is for the two ARIA series to receive a R1 license soon.

That's amazing. Frogs from outer space are taking over. Does this mean that it'll be in the U.S.? You know, from watching the site get invaded, it reminds me of those prank flashes where there's a certain picture that won't disturb you. then something strange happens, mostly a scary face will pop-up at you and screams or roars (but this is not really a screamer thank goodness). I bet ADV Films is licensing the show. |

Glad to hear it. I'm sure ADV will do a fine job with it, seeing as they mostly do a fine job with all of their licenses. Naming it Sgt. Keroro and not "Frog Warrior Chronicles" is a start, at least.
I've never watched it, and I've heard many good things about it, and it's directed by Yusuke Yamamoto who's handling NHK quite well, so that's high motivation for me to buy a DVD or ten.
No, Geneon just acquired it, and ADV is putting this Keroro-Gunsou prank on their website to help their rival make a few extra bucks. I hope everyone knows I'm being sarcastic. |

Am I the only person that is wondering why they don't have a link to their online store? You know; a significant source of income? Strange...

I think the page has a coding glitch and it is only suppose to show the "hack" and kick you to the main page. Why, because if you go http://www.advfilms.com/index.asp you get the main page - not Frog dance . I discovered this by going back into the site after I read the PDF, btw 
Anyway, the store can be reached here http://www.advfilms.com/CATALOGFilms.asp?Cat=A |

They will, but their explanations will be horrifically incorrect. Excel Saga's Vid Notes had me cringing, as I don't remember them actually getting a single Gundam reference right. In the Matsumoto parody episode with the Puchu White Base, they not only got every crew member's name mixed up (Frau is Sayla, Sayla is Mirai, that sort of thing), but I think they even described it as being from "Gundam Wing," if I recall (I know they did that at some point in the series, just not sure if it's during the White Base parody or not). I dread this release. I really do. |
