AN Entertainment Risky Safety Moratorium
Last Chance to Own a Piece of Risky Safety Approaching!
May 18, 2007
AN Entertainment's North American distribution rights to its acclaimed first anime series, Omishi Magical Theater: Risky Safety, will officially expire this November. While time and supplies last, AN Entertainment is pleased to announce one last opportunity for anime fans and collectors to own this outstanding anime series, and a unique first time opportunity for fans and collectors to literally own a piece of Risky Safety and anime history. Coinciding with the moratorium of the anime DVD series, AN Entertainment will offer fans the chance to purchase the original, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn Japanese production art used in the making of the Risky Safety anime!
The all-star creative talents of creator Rei Omishi (Sorcerer Hunters), animation Studio A.P.P.P. (Robot Carnival, JoJo's Bizarre Adventures), award winning director Kouji Masunari (Kamichu!, Read or Die), and fan favorite vocalist/voice actress Maaya Sakamoto (Escaflowne, Wolf's Rain) combined in the creation of the Risky Safety anime, a charming, heart breaking, humorous, and inspiring story about the cosmic balance of good and evil as personified by an apprentice angel and an apprentice shinigami (grim reaper) that inadvertently share a single body.
Anime on DVD calls Risky Safety, “An easy recommendation.” Anime News Network describes Risky Safety as an “Adorable, funny misadventure, [with] excellent visuals and an overall solid execution.” Underland Online urges, “You should definitely take the risk on this series.”
AN Entertainment's release of Risky Safety's 24 twelve minute episodes are contained on three DVDs featuring English dubbing by fan favorite studio Bang Zoom! Entertainment, original Japanese dialogue, extensive translation notes, and reversible covers that faithfully recreate the original Japanese packaging, right down to the authentic textured paper used for the initial Japanese DVD release! For the remainder of its availability, the Risky Safety anime series will be available from participating retailers at a “last chance” SRP of $14.99 per three disc set.

To give Risky Safety a fitting send-off celebration, AN Entertainment is proud to offer fans and collectors a unique opportunity to purchase some of the original, hand-drawn production art used in the making of the Risky Safety anime. Original art will be available in bundles containing hundreds of one-of-a-kind, hand drawn monochrome and colored pencil drawings of major and supporting characters. (Risky Safety was a digital animation production, so no hand painted color cels were produced for the series.) Bundles may include one or more hand painted color backgrounds. And some bundles may include all of the sequential frames from entire animation sequences. Each bundle consists of one or more “cuts,” single camera shots, including all original art, notes, sketches, time charts, and staff messages and notations - ideal for both collectors and aspiring animators interested in the nuts and bolts of anime production. Each package of Risky Safety production art has been individually selected and sorted by the AN Entertainment staff to exclude incidental, inconsequential shots. So each package of production art contains only “cream of the crop” one-of-a-kind pieces of original art suitable for framing and display. Original Risky Safety production art will be sold at $9.99 per bundle, while supplies last.
