ADV Films Announces Gravion
ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES STREET DATE FOR GRAVION
HOUSTON, April 6, 2004—ADV Films, the #1 producer-distributor of anime in the U.S., has set a May 18, 2004 release date for the first volume of Gravion: Divine Steel. Gravion is an exciting new anime series produced by Gonzo Digimation (Najica, Full Metal Panic!, Hellsing), Media Factory (RahXephon) and Lantis (Heat Guy J).
The Story:
When mankind faces an alien force with technology light years ahead of Earth's, it may take a man obsessed with the past to save them. The fate of the planet rests on whether the eccentric billionaire Sandman can build a machine as great as the myths of old. His creation is a god for the modern age, a deity forged of circuits and steel – it is Gravion!
Only a young band of orphaned misfits are born with the ability to pilot this top-secret weapon. All life on the planet depends on how well they can fight the Zeravire – if they can only stop fighting amongst themselves!
Gravion: Divine Steel (SRP $29.98 DVD) includes five episodes in English 5.1- and Japanese 2.0-language, with English subtitles. Extras include exclusive character static cling decals and these on-disc extras: design sketches; Japanese trailer; clean open and close animation; and ADV Previews.
