ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES MY DEAR MARIE ON DVD FOR THE FIRST TIME
HOUSTON, August 17, 2004—ADV Films, the #1 producer-distributor of anime in the U.S., is excited to announce another first… the first American DVD release of the anime cult classic My Dear Marie. With a street date of September 28, 2004, this wild and wacky collection of original animation videos proves that with a little perseverance you don't have to go to Stepford to get the perfect girl.
Based on the popular manga by Takeuchi Sakura and directed by Tomomi Mochizuki (Princess Nine and Dirty Pair Flash), My Dear Marie has been hailed as a must-see for the romantically impaired ever since its initial release on VHS by ADV Films. Now, at long last, anime fans everywhere will finally get their heart-springs re-wound as this timeless masterpiece about a clueless guy and his clockwork girl returns for a much-anticipated deluxe DVD treatment. Prepare to meet the ultimate household appliance in a love story full of crossed circuits in My Dear Marie!
Ever met the perfect girl, but she already had a boyfriend? Well why not just build your own? An amateur mad scientist attempts to build a robotic duplicate of his dream girl, and Marie is the result. As you can probably guess, there are some unexpected complications. Stay tuned for mayhem and disaster!
My Dear Marie (SRP $29.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release, including three complete episodes in both English 2.0 and Japanese 2.0 language versions, with English subtitles. Extras are ADV previews.
