ADV ANNOUNCES AUGUST 23 RELEASES
HOUSTON, July 13, 2005 —ADV Films, the number one producer-distributor of anime in North America, is pleased to announce two very special DVD releases for August 23: DNAngel 7, the final volume in the hit anime series, and the super-affordable Thin-pack Final Fantasy: Unlimited Complete Collection.
DNANGEL: The Light Breaks
Seventh and Final Volume in the Hit Series
ADV Films is proud to present the seventh and final volume in the hit anime DVD series, DNAngel: The Light Breaks, available in stores everywhere August 23. DNAngel, based on the Top 10 manga series, is one of the best-selling anime series of 2005.
Adapted from the international best-selling manga series by Yukiru Sugisaki, DNAngel is a romantic adventure with a fantastic premise. High school hottie Risa has two suitors: shy Daisuke and the magical thief Dark. But the twist is that Daisuke and Dark share the same body, and it's Daisuke's love for Risa that allows Dark to take over! The only way to resolve this romantic disaster is for Daisuke to win the heart of his true love – but since she's only got eyes for Dark, that's not happening anytime soon!
Synopsis: Daisuke Niwa's life is already rough, but it's about to get even harder. After finally learning the truth about his family's fate and Dark's origins, Daisuke comes to the realization that Dark may not be around forever. That's not good, because as Daisuke's confrontation with the ultimate evil approaches, he's going to need Dark more than ever. Even with their family and friends behind them, will Daisuke and Dark be able to overpower Krad? What about The Black Wings? And will Daisuke ever see his love again? In this last thrilling volume of DNAngel, a foe becomes a friend for the good of all.
