ADV Films Announces Release for Sister Princess
ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES AN OCTOBER 19 RELEASE DATE FOR SISTER PRINCESS: OH, BROTHER!
SIBLING REVELRY AT ITS FINEST!
HOUSTON, September 13, 2004—ADV Films, the #1 producer-distributor of anime in the U.S., today announced an October 19 release date for the first volume of the chaotic circus of siblings, Sister Princess: Oh, Brother!
Based on a popular dating sim in Japan, Sister Princess follows the quirky story of a boy who discovers he has twelve sisters, all of whom are trying to win his undying affection. This situational comedy is great for fans of His or Her Circumstances and Azumanga Daioh!
Wataru Minakami was at the top of his class in middle school and had a pretty comfy life in Tokyo. When he unexpectedly fails his only high school entrance exam because of a computer glitch, his life is suddenly thrown into utter chaos! Jeeves, Wataru's trusted butler, sends him off to attend school at Stargazer's Hill in a mysterious place called Promised Island. Upon his arrival, Wataru encounters many friendly, cute girls. This isn't a problem – until he finds out they are all his sisters! For most kids, adjusting to life at a new school in a different town is tough enough. But for Wataru Minakami, high school will be the easy part!
Twelve sisters all at once… What would YOU do?
