ADV Announces Cromartie High
ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF CROMARTIE HIGH SCHOOL: CROMARTIAN RHAPSODY
The Wackiest High School Comedy You'll Ever See!
HOUSTON, February 23, 2005— School's in session with the highly anticipated March 15, 2005 release of the first volume of Cromartie High School: Cromartian Rhapsody. With giant gorillas, a robot with an identity crisis, and a school full of brain-damaged delinquents, this is going to be the craziest academic adventure seen this side of the Pacific!
Produced by Production I.G (Blue Seed, Ghost in the Shell) and TV Tokyo (Final Fantasy: Unlimited) and based on the wildly popular manga by Eiji Nonaka, Cromartie High School ventures forth into the deranged and wacked-out world of the infamous school for delinquents. Packed to the brim with crazy humor, pithy puns, political satire, and characters you'll love to despise, Cromatrie High School will leave your brain fried and your funny bone sore.
Poor Kamiyama! Somehow he has been enrolled in Cromartie High School, the infamous school for delinquents. When your classmates are the meanest, toughest (and often dumbest) students around, you do what you can to fit in. But when you add a 400-pound gorilla, a robot with an attitude, and a macho brute that bears a striking resemblance to a world famous celebrity, it makes blending much more difficult. So put on your best tough-guy swagger and get a lesson in insanity from the hilarious losers of Cromartie High.
Limited Collector's Edition Available with First Volume of Cromartie High School manga
You think you're tough enough to handle Cromartie High? Only the meanest of the mean and baddest of the bad can face the collector's edition!
