ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES THREE HOT NEW ANIME RELEASES FOR JUNE 28
HOUSTON, June 13, 2005 —ADV Films, the number one producer-distributor of anime in North America, is pleased to announce three exciting new titles set to hit the streets on June 28: the seventh volume of the hit anime series Get Backers, plus Shuten Doji volume 2 and Sister Princess volume 6!
GET BACKERS: VENUS, INTERRUPTED
“A Great Series to Watch… The Perfect Balance of Storyline, Characters, and Dialogue!” – Anime Advanced
ADV Films is pleased to announce volume 7 in the Get Backers saga, Venus, Interrupted, hitting store shelves June 28. The hit action-comedy series, based on the popular manga by the same name, is one of the hottest anime series of the year, and this new DVD more than lives up to the hype!
Get Backers, animated by the famous Studio Deen (King of Bandit Jing), is the story of Ginji Amano and Ban Midou, two chronically broke but supernaturally empowered youths who run a “recovery service.” Their motto? “If it was taken, get it back.”
Synopsis: Ginji's captured. Ban's exhausted. Emishi and Shido are on the run from a pair of bald twins with super Chinese fighting techniques. The mission to recover the arms of the goddess seems all but lost…But then again, “lost” is the territory the Get Backers know best! Join our heroes as the hunt for the Venus kicks into overdrive! Can Ginji escape from Yukihiko and Natsuhiko before they kill him with their version of brotherly love? Can Emishi and Shido defeat Shakuryuu and Hyouko once the twins reveal their ultimate power? Can Ban hope to survive a duel to the death with Dr. Jackal? And while we're at it, do any of them have a clue how to get off this crazy island?
Get Backers: Venus, Interrupted (SRP $29.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release including episodes 31 through 35, presented in both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles. Extras include behind the scene interviews with voice actors Christopher Loveless (Hyouko), Michael Mergen (Natsuhiko & Yukihiko), and Adam Sultan (Kait), plus clean opening animation, clean closing animation, and previews of upcoming ADV Films releases.

Sister Princess sets a new standard for the “harem” comedy, an anime genre that never fails to arouse fan interest.

Lots of laughs and eye-catching character designs propel this rollicking teen comedy.
Synopsis: Wataru's life on Promised Island with thirteen sisters is certainly never dull, but things are about to get really exciting. In an effort to make her Bro's life easier, Rin Rin decides to build Wataru her greatest invention yet! Then, when a thief is on the loose in the Welcome House, Wataru must rely on the keen crime solving skills of his sister, Yotsuba, to catch the fiend. And, after living with his sisters for almost a year, Wataru is about to receive his first visitor Tokyo, but will that really be a good thing?
