GRIMES, IA, April 28, 2010 – Anime producer and distributor Right Stuf, Inc. and Nozomi Entertainment are pleased to announce the LOST UNIVERSE DVD Thinpak Collection will be available for a new, lower SRP of $39.99 starting August 3, 2010.

This DVD collection is housed in a slim-profile art box and features unedited and remastered video, Japanese and English-language audio options, and two subtitle tracks (standard and on-screen translations).

Lost Universe shares a creative team with the popular Slayers anime series: Both anime properties were based upon novels by Hajime Kanzaka (Slayers), directed by Takashi Watanabe (Slayers, Slayers Next, Slayers Try, Shakugan no Shana) and feature character designs by Naomi Miyata (Slayers, Slayers Next, Slayers Try). Additionally, both vocal casts are led by Megumi Hayashibara (“Lina Inverse” in Slayers), who also performs the theme songs for each series.

* “whacked out space adventure” – Digitally Obsessed
* “A light SF fantasy romp about good vs. evil. And cute hologram girls. – AnimeOnDVD at Mania.com
