RED GARDEN: THE BODY SNATCHERS

ADV Films is pleased to present the latest chapter in the new horror series that has critics agog. Described as “violent, shocking, and sexy” (JIVE Magazine), Red Garden: The Body Snatchers will be available in stores January 22.

From acclaimed studio Gonzo (Afro Samurai, Chrono Crusade) and director Kou Matsuo (Rozen Maiden) comes an urban horror masterpiece as stylish as it is disturbing. Set in modern day New York, Red Garden’s unique character designs, haunting story, and realistic violence make it one of the most anticipated new series of 2007. “Red Garden is not your typical production... there’s real drama and then some” (Anime Insider).

Synopsis: Just as the girls grow accustomed to killing, they are confronted with the soul-shaking consequences of their new, murderous “life.” For it seems their ravenous, monstrous prey are victims just like themselves—innocent pawns of an evil game being played in the streets of New York. Worse, it seems the players are not limiting the match to the moonlight hours anymore. Seasoned gamers, they begin encroaching in the daylight, slipping into each other’s camps to discover strategy and secrets, drawing even the most innocent of girls into the most wicked of traps—love. Don’t miss the next play in anime’s most dangerous game, Red Garden.

Red Garden: The Body Snatchers (SRP $29.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release including episodes nine through twelve, presented in both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles. Extras include clean opening animation, clean closing animation and previews of upcoming ADV Films releases.

ADV Films is pleased to announce the attractive new thin-pack compilation Comic Party Revolution TV Complete Collection, containing the entire fan-favorite series, will be available on January 22.

After failing his examinations, Sendo Kazuki spends his days aimlessly – that is, until his childhood friend, Taishi, drags Kazuki into the world of fan comics. But this harmless diversion soon becomes an obsession as Kazuki is drawn further into otaku culture. In the dog-eat-dog world of fan comics, you need more than talent to realize your dreams!

Synopsis: A man-made island is located on the edge of Tokyo, well off the beaten path. And now, the time is drawing near when this island of cold concrete will be set afire with passion. People will gather here to draw manga, search for manga, and get passionate about manga! It's a joyous celebration of individuals who have staked their entire youths on doujinshi. It’s the event known as – Comic Party! In this hilarious follow up to Comic Party, we rejoin Kazuki, Mizuki and all their friends a year later. Kazuki has grown more confident in his abilities as a doujinshi (amateur comic) artist. The rivalry between Yuu and Eimi has grown even fiercer, and Taishi is crazier than ever!
