Ltd., a
subsidiary
of Sega
SAMMY
Holdings,
Inc. The
deal was
brokered by

ImaginAsianTV.
Right Stuf
President
and CEO
Shawne
Kleckner
said he is
excited
about the
opportunity
to help fans
discover
these
classic
properties.
“Since
ImaginAsian’s
announcement
of these
releases,
we’ve been
fielding
requests
from our
customers
about this
kind of
possibility,”
said
Kleckner.
“As fans of
classic
anime -- and
as one of
the oldest
and most
established
anime
retailers in
North
America --
we’re
pleased to
provide this
service to
the
English-speaking
fan
community.”
“RightStuf.com
is a premier
retailer of
quality
Japanese
animation,
and we are
thrilled to
be working
with them on
the U.S.
launch of
the Orguss,
Nobody’s Boy
- Remi and
Cat’s Eye
DVD titles,”
said Syd
Dufton,
President of
TitleMatch
Entertainment.
Each series
will
premiere on
ImaginAsianTV
as part of
the “TMS
Presents:
Anime
Classics”
programming
block prior
to its DVD
release. The
DVDs will be
published
using
“manufacture-to-order”
technology
from
TitleMatch,
with CSS
encryption
and region
coding on
DVD-R media.
Each series
will run for
eight

with four to
seven
episodes per
volume. The
first volume
of each
series,
which will
include a
keepcase to
house all
eight discs,
will be
available
for $12.99.
Subsequent
volumes will
be offered
for $9.99.
The initial
DVD releases
are
tentatively
scheduled
for early
July 2007.
Due to the
already low
price
points,
these discs
will not be
discounted
or eligible
for Right
Stuf
coupons.
However,
they will
count toward
free
shipping.
Orguss
In the mid
21st
century, the
two
superpowers
that control
the earth
are engaged
in a fierce
battle for
control of
an “orbital
elevator,”
which allows
fast access
to satellite
colonies. In
the midst of
battle, one
pilot
accidentally
activates a
secret
weapon–destroying
all of
Earth's
parallel
dimensions
and
resulting in
a world that
constantly
shifts
between
pieces of
different
realities.
Suddenly,
Earth is
shared
between four
different
human races!
The first 17
episodes
will include
the
English-language
dub produced
by US
Renditions,
but the
remaining
episodes
will be
subtitle-only.
Cat’s Eye
Three
sisters run
a small café
during the
day, but at
night, they
become Cat’s
Eye, an
infamous
group of
fine art
thieves who
infiltrate
museums,
stealing
priceless
works of art
(and
completely
evading
police). But
it's not
greed that
motivates
these girls:
Their
father, a
famous
artist, has
disappeared,
and the only
clues they
have to his
whereabouts
might come
from the art
they steal.
Subtitled
only.
Nobody's Boy
- Remi
Based on the
classic 1878
book by
Hector Malot,
Nobody's Boy
is the tale
of Remi, a
boy from a
French
village,
whose life
is forever
changed when
his father
tells him
that he is
adopted and
sells him to
a traveling
artist.
Heartbroken
and
adjusting to
the
difficulties
of life on
the road, he
is soon left
alone,
enduring
hardships
and loss,
and
desperately
searching
for his real
parents.
Subtitled
only.
