BEWARE THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE FLESH…
HOUSTON, September 9, 2004—ADV Films, the #1 producer-distributor of anime in the U.S., today announced an October 19 release date for new the feature length sci-fi thriller Parasite Dolls.
Set in the universe of the hit series Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, Parasite Dolls is an erotic thriller focusing on the Branch, an elite team of police investigators charged with fighting corruption in a futuristic city whose population is split between human masters and artificial slaves called boomer. Directed by Kazuto Nakazawa (Bubblegum Crisis, Final Fantasy: Unlimited) and Naoyuki Yoshinaga, Parasite Dolls utilizes a stunning combination of conventional and computer generated animation techniques to create a unique hyper-real look, climaxing in an amazing aerial chase unlike any animated sequence ever produced. English language version director Matt Greenfield (Evangelion, RahXephon, NOIR) declares that "the animation in Parasite Dolls is beyond phenomenal; and the final third of the feature is one of the most powerful segments I've seen in a lifetime devoted to this art form. If you want to see the future of anime, Parasite Dolls is the vanguard of the next generation."
Beauty is only skin deep, but when you can't see beneath the skin, how can you know what you're really dealing with? In a world where perfect androids called Boomers have infiltrated every aspect of society, it's the job of Branch to maintain peace between the people and the plastic. Unfortunately, not all boomers are created perfect, and when boomers go bad, people die. The thin blue line that separates man from machine is about to meet its most horrifying test in Parasite Dolls.
Parasite Dolls (SRP $29.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release including a 95 minute feature in both English 5.1 and Japanese 5.1 language versions, with English subtitles.
