RIGHT STUF RELEASES 'MUST HAVE' ANIME ON DVD HOME VIDEO FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

November 29, 2005 – Right Stuf announced today the impending DVD home video release of several highly anticipated anime favorites for the holiday season. Long time fans of the popular Captain Tylor television series will especially be pleased with the release of the must own collection of the year, Captain Tylor OVA Limited Edition Collector's Ultra box set. The Right Stuf also plans on releasing acclaimed director Kunihiko Yunyama's (Slayers Great, Kimagure Orange Road) sexy tale of one woman's surprisingly steamy approach to the late-night news, and the final volume of Tatsuo Satō's Sci-fi Epic Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars!

"This holiday season promises to be a great one for fans of Japanese animation. And with the inception of the 'Anime Today' podcast, anime fans will now have a chance to hear more about their favorite shows like Captain Tylor. This should be a great season for anime DVD sales", says Shawne Kleckner, President of Right Stuf International.

Limited Edition Captain Tylor OVA Collector's Ultra Box Set

From director Kōichi Mashimo (.hack//SIGN, Avenger, Madlax, Sorcerer Hunters) and character designer Tomohiro Hirata (Last Exile, Urusei Yatsura, Trinity Blood) comes one of anime's most beloved action/comedies!

Six long months have passed... The Raalgon Empire has developed a horrible new type of weapon and Tylor has been charged with the duty of intercepting them as they're being transported. But when all that could go wrong, does go wrong – the crew of the Soyokaze finds themselves at the mercy of their enemies. As the hours tick down toward their execution, the crew wonders, has their irresponsible captain misled them, is this all a part of some greater strategy, or is it a path towards war?

Collection Includes: The ENTIRE Irresponsible Captain Tylor OVA Series; The Irresponsible Captain Tylor OAV CD Soundtrack, complete with printed 'romaji' lyrics; an Extras DVD filled with 95 minutes of Japanese interviews and extras related to the Tylor OVA series; a 32-page novella follow-up to the series written by the original creator of Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Hitoshi Yoshioka; and a 48-page booklet filled with artwork, interviews, and tidbits of trivia from the Tylor universe!

Weather Report Girl

From acclaimed director Kunihiko Yunyama (SLAYERS GREAT, KIMAGURE ORANGE ROAD) comes Weather Report Girl, the story of one woman's surprisingly steamy approach to the late-night news!

Channel ATV is in serious trouble. With viewer ratings at an all-time low, they've got to come up with an amazing gimmick, and fast, or else their sponsors are going to cut their funding! But a whirlwind is headed for ATV in the form of one Keiko Nakadai – a substitute weather girl for the prime-time news. In one quick flash of her panties, the ratings are sky-rocketing! Thanks to the public's overwhelming support of Keiko's brazen tactics (not to mention her gorgeous body), she's finally secured the bright and sunny future she's always wanted. However, there's a dangerous storm brewing on the horizon. Michiko Kawai, ATV's former prime-time weather girl, is furious that Keiko has stolen her job, and she'll stop at nothing to get it back! But poor Michiko may have bitten off more than she can chew because Keiko's soft exterior hides a nasty vicious streak, and she's not about to give up her dream job so easily. Japan's airwaves are about to get a whole lot hotter!

Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars: Fateful Conclusions

The final volume of director Tatsuo Satō's (Nadesico, Stellvia) Sci-fi Epic Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars! The fate of the world rests on the shoulders of a single middle-school student.

Pale skin, green eyes, and a piercing gaze – once you meet Kanata Myouken, you'll never forget him. And now this mysterious new stranger is tracking down Muryou! What's worse, he is only a harbinger of things to come. Soon after Kanata's arrival, two very ominous spaceships appear, hanging low over the town of Tenmo and both appear ready for a showdown at any moment. One of the ships belongs to the Galactic Federation... but who controls the other? While the situation on Earth is becoming more tense, trouble is beginning to brew in space as well. Four of the deadly Sanadon warships have been spotted on a direct intercept course with Earth! With each passing moment, the destruction of everything Nayuta loves draws closer. Will she be able to make the ultimate sacrifice and push the power of the Shingu farther than ever before? When the body becomes a new vessel, the truth behind the Shingu will finally be revealed...
