Let me say straight up from the get-go: I don’t really give a damn about the Devil May Cry anime. I’ve never played the games. I watched the first episode and was amazed at the mediocrity of the visuals for an anime based on such a popular game franchise. (They weren’t bad, but they weren’t great either.)

That said: ANN has a new release list from ADV that includes the second disc of Devil May Cry, now due out on May 6th (both in a regular edition and an edition with a box).

But the IMPORTANT news is that there’s still no word on a release for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which makes baby Jesus cry. And baby Simon. And baby Kamina. SERIOUSLY.

Also, ADV is apparently calling Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora (literally Kyoshiro and the Eternal Sky, Kyoshiro being a character of course) “Shattered Angels,” which is kind of silly. (If you had to give an English name, how about just “Eternal Sky”?)

Silly ADV.

Anime on DVD has some new title solicitations from ADV, one of which is Gurren Lagann, the first volume of which is due out on February 26th. It seems like a pretty quick release to me, but then I realized that Devil May Cry, which was announced with Gurren Lagann at Anime Expo 2007, is also coming out on the same day.

So is ADV speeding up releases in general? Or just these two, since they both have a certain built-in fanbase? Hmm!
