RIGHT STUF’S NOZOMI ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES NINJA NONSENSE COMPLETE DVD COLLECTION – Limited Edition

Box set containing entire series, plus extras scheduled for December 4, 2007

GRIMES, IA, August 28, 2007 – Anime producer and distributor Right Stuf, Inc. and Nozomi Entertainment are pleased to announce the release of the NINJA NONSENSE: THE LEGEND OF SHINOBU Complete DVD Collection – Limited Edition on December 4, 2007.

This first-ever Ninja Nonsense collection features the complete series – with all of the video and print extras included during its initial release – and an art box to house the four DVD volumes. Plus, this limited edition will also include a special mini-manga by series creator Ryoichi Koga, an “Onsokumaru” squeeze toy and a ninja-trainee headband.

Based on Koga’s manga Ninin ga Shinobuden (2 x 2 = Shinobuden) and animated by ufotable (Coyote Ragtime Show, Tales of Symphonia OAV), the Ninja Nonsense series has been recognized as one of the “top 10 anime DVDs” of 2006 (DVD Talk’s Anime Talk), and actor Sean Schemmel’s comedic performance as over-the-top, ninja master “Onsokumaru” has been praised as deserving “to be considered among the all-time great anime performances.” (Anime News Network)

About NINJA NONSENSE

Take one totally cute (and naive) ninja-girl trainee, add a ninja horde under the tutelage of a perverse headmaster – a strange, yellow, spherical, pudgy... creature... named Onsokumaru – and you get the kind of “super-explosive ninja insanity” that can only be found in what’s been called “the runaway nuclear reactor” of anime comedies!
