ADV are selling off all their assets... I'm heartbroken! They used to be the largest anime company in the world, just how did this happen? I guess the anime industry really is in a bad state. They reported that their anime DVD sales had dropped by almost 50% in only a couple of years. Why must this happen to ADV of all companies!?

Yea Funimation own the anime market now. lol.. there getting all the big titles. have lots of series, And they got a bunch of title from Geneon cos they went bust so they might get more. There doing pretty well from them selfs.

Hmm well i got my N.G.E tin set D: i tried my best but nah to ,many people stream online or download nowadays. and they have the simucasts for like OP and Gintama but still wont make them buy the dvds.. well OP dvds anyway.. no Gintama dvds.. /sigh.

Now that ADV are gone every other anime company should shut down and leave it all to the fansubbers.

noo ive always prefered funi.. i like there dubs. only thing i disliked was there remasterd dbz sets but they have made up for it with the dragon boxes

More like they're just milking the product now. I don't really care for dubs, although the only ones I do like are done by ADV (Guyver, The Place Promised In Our Early Days). I like ADV simply because they are fans. I would just walk up to them at the Expo and have a chat, but I couldn't do that with anyone else there (except for that legend guy selling manga). They knew their stuff, and they knew exactly what the fans wanted, and so its what they gave us. Accurate translations, no Americanization, loads of Japanese extras, free booklets, etc. I haven't come across any other anime company that has pleased me as much as ADV with their releases. Also, as if it wasn't already a huge shame, if ADV didn't get into money problems we would have seen a live action Evangelion done right in the near future. I guess that project can now be classed as cancelled.

Funi saved OP from 4kids.. and seeing as im a OP fan boy... lol.

But yea i think N.G.E will be the on ADV product i'll have

I've never played WoW but that looks pretty spot on.

For shame.

You have the platinum edition though right? They done an absolutely fantastic job with that, you have to agree. The booklet alone is worth paying for.

came today along with my Ghost in the shell movie pack and Shigurui.
had a quick look at them and stuff.

N.G.E awesome. yea i got the platinum edition. Booklet is awesome will make a good read once i watch the dvds. the tin was smaller than i was expecting. i dunno was expecting a box similar to my Guild Wars CE.

GITS: Double pack looks good going to watch the 1st one tonight. nice box to keep the dvds in.

Shigurui: Looks good watch the 1st few minutes and its a bit gory. Funi dub so looks good. because its Manga dvd i was checking the subs and they seem to be ok only complaint is the subs are yellow not white. white is minor but not use to yellow

Damn, I haven't bought any anime in ages! I think I'm going to have to buy the rest of Satoshi Kon's movies very soon though. I watched Paprika yesterday and it was amazing. The opening scene is so creative, and it has one of the best movie soundtracks ever!

I have Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers and Paranoia Agent, just need to buy Memories, Paprika and Perfect Blue. Sword of the Stranger is out on DVD in just over a month as well. Must buy that!
