ADV
Films shuts down! Titles and staff now with
Section23 Films.
Posted:

Robert
of Anime Corner Store has
gotten in touch with ADV Films now-former employees
and has confirmed that ADV Films Titles will
all be transfered to the new company, Section
23 Films.
UPDATE:
Just got off the phone with Mike Baliff, formerly
of ADV Films who is now heading up Sales and
Marketing at the new company Section 23 Films.
Section 23 has acquired all of ADV's former
licenses and most of the staff (including Chris
Oarr, Destiny, Michelle, everyone formerly at
ADV that mattered), and is picking up publication
and distribution of all former ADV titles, so
the DVD's will remain available and our orders
will just be processed and filled by the new
company, so the changeover will be pretty much
transparent to you guys. This includes pre-order
items in the pipeline but not yet released.
They will still be coming out, and the schedule
will not change. We'll be updating our catalog
over the next few days to reflect Section 23
as the new publisher of ADV's (former) titles.
I also think it's worth mentioning that John
Ledford is not part of the new company. Thanks
very much to Mike for calling me personally
to walk us through the changeover. Mike and
I go back a long way, maybe 10 or 11 years,
and I feel like ADV's former licences could
not have fallen into better hands.

Gatchaman
release date gets
pushed back.
Posted:

24, 2009
Introduction:
"Gatchaman," a new CG-animated feature
film from Imagi Studios, will bring the long-running
anime franchise to movie theaters around the
world in early 2011.
Set
in a future world grappling with environmental
and technological issues, the story focuses
on five reluctant heroes whose remarkable genetic
code makes them Earth's only hope of defeating
extra-terrestrial invaders. "Gatchaman"
will be a big, effects-rich movie with some
of the most ambitious action sequences ever
seen in animation.
"Gatchaman"
was created by Japan's Tatsunoko Production
in the early 1970s as a television series called
"Science Ninja Team Gatchaman." Aired
in the U.S. as "Battle of the Planets"
and "G-Force," it soon became one
of the top syndicated shows. -
