Awsome news, that's a favorite RPG of mine (too bad it never got released over here). However, the links to the trailers aren't working.
Emerje (EDIT: Ok, now I'm a bit confused, If it's an OAV then how is it premeiring on PPV? Wouldn't that make it a TV series instead since it isn't a video release? Also, an Encyclopedia qustion, it says the Vintage is the 22ed, but the PPV premier is the 23ed, shouldn't they be the same day? Or is there a video release that has come out the day before showing on PPV?  )

premiere. Premiere is a verb. Premier is a noun. Gah... I can't even save the ANN forums. I should just add that to the word censor list.. :p Anywho: Yeah, it seems to be a new trend in shows, releasing them and airing them on TV either simultaneously or shortly after one-another. Still, I think it's fair to call them OVAs.. like Munto is an OVA, but it was webcast before it was released. The original production wasn't intended for a TV release; it was intended for a VHS/DVD release... it just so happened that this means of broadcasting it became possible. That doesn't color the original intent of the show. |

(premiere)
Verb: "To premiere a new movie" (Meaning: "To show (for the first time) a new movie") Noun: "The movie's premiere showing" (Meaning: "The movie's first showing") versus: (premier) Noun: "The Premier of England" (Meaning: "The person who holds the office of Premier [==Prime Minister or thereabouts] in England") Adjective: "The premier Restaurant" (Meaning: "The highest-ranked (#1) Restaurant") Adapted from the OED, so it's gotta be right. Right? :) |

...eh...mostly...
Although premiere can be an adjective, too. It's then the same as premier. Or so says the dictionary. I'm not that language smart on me own.
