ADV ANNOUNCES AUGUST 26 RELEASE DATE FOR GO NAGAI?S COLLECTOR?S SET

NEVER BEFORE AVAILABLE ON DVD; ADV FILMS RELEASE INCLUDES THREE CLASSICS FROM THE NAGAI OEUVRE: SHUTEN DOJI KEKKO KAMEN AND DELINQUENT IN DRAG

HOUSTON June 20 2003?ADV Films today announced an August 26 2003 release date for Go Nagai?s Collector?s Set a three-disc collection assembling three anime OVAs created by the legendary Go Nagai responsible for the seminal titles Mazinger Z Devilman Cutey Honey Getter Robo and many others. Predictably unpredictable the titles in this new collection tip quite a few sacred cows. Savvy slapstick and satirical prurience reign; this release is a must-have for Go Nagai fans specifically and for serious anime aficionados in general.

The Stories:
From the master of horror and off-beat comedy Go Nagai come three completely different and completely entertaining anime masterpieces. In Shuten Doji time-traveling trolls enlist the aid of human boy to defeat a nameless horror that threatens the entire universe. The battle rages in the past present and future as Jiro and his companions fight to save all they know and love. Kekko Kamen is the ultimate super-hero. Dressed only in her mask and red leather boots and armed with an array of highly unusual attacks she fights crime wherever she finds it. And the Delinquent in Drag isn?t perverted his parents just bought him the wrong the school uniform. What?s a boy to do?

Go Nagai?s Collector?s Set (SRP $44.98) is a DVD-only release including all four episodes of Shuten Doji both episodes of Kekko Kamen and all of Delinquent in Drag in one three-disc package. In Japanese with English subtitles. Includes ADV Previews.
