Steel Angel Kurumi Release Details

Worth noting, ADV first sent this press release out with $19.98 listed as the SRP for Steel Angel Kurumi Volume 1, this was an error on their part and they sent out a second notice to correct the mistake.

Excerpts from Press Release:

ADV Films has set a street date of May 21, 2002
for the DVD release of Angel On My Shoulder - the first exciting installment
of the highly anticipated anime series, Steel Angel Kurumi.

Steel Angel Kurumi features breathtaking animation from acclaimed studio
O.L.M. - famous for their work on the Pokémon franchise - along with an
English dub starring some of the hottest actresses in anime: Kelli Cousins
(Princess Nine), Monica Rial (Gasaraki), Hilary Haag (Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo
2040), and Kira Vincent-Davis (Martian Successor Nadesico), with a special
appearance by one of the most popular actresses in live action sci-fi,
Claudia Black (Farscape, Pitch Black).

The Story: She was the most powerful creation ever invented. Designed by a
brilliant mind, using otherworldly technology, bred for military use, the
Steel Angel's intent was as revolutionary as it was mysterious. But when a
young boy accidentally awakens the Steel Angel Kurumi, science and strategy
are thrown a curve. Now this multi-million dollar soldier is taking orders
from a boy-and other forces are not happy about it. So Kurumi and her young
master must seek out a secret lab and discover dangerous answers. Namely,
why was Kurumi created in the first place? What is her true purpose? And why
is a mysterious organization activating other beautiful, seductive, and
powerful Steel Angels to destroy her?

ADV FILMS' DVD release ($29.98 SRP) of Steel Angel Kurumi: Angel On My
Shoulder will feature the English-language version as well as the
Japanese-language version with English subtitles. DVD extras include the
behind the scenes feature Conversations with Angels, a historical background
of Tashio era Japan (1912-1926), production sketches, textless open and
close credits, and more.
