SDCC07: ADVentures with ADV
The ADV panel (see liveblog thread) started out with just trailers, then talked about ADV manga a bit. They’ll be announcing some new licenses over the next few months, and they’ll also be collecting Azumanga Daioh into an omnibus edition which will come in a larger trim size, which is pretty groovy.
Jumping back to anime, ADV plans to start putting out much of its new anime in a monthly fashion, starting with Air TV.
Then they announced the film Appleseed EX Machina, which is pretty interesting giving FUNimation’s announcement of Vexille by the team behind the original Appleseed flick. They also plan on putting out a bundle of a bunch of their movies, and that’s pretty much it for ADV announcements.
Edit: Just to clarify, ADV is doing production work on Appleseed EX Machina, i.e. the dubbing - Warner Home Video still presumably has the rights.

they ruined Air from what i saw on demand….they actually removed Misuzu’s trademark laugh “nihaha” and everyone else sounds too old

Strange, I thought Warner Home Video already got it…

I guess I didn’t explain well, Affenheim: ADV is going to do production on it at their studios in Houston. Warner still owns the rights. Or at least, that’s the sense I got :)
