NAVARRE’S BCI OFFERS A GALAXY OF ACTION AND ADVENTURE WITH THE FIRST 33 EPISODES OF THE CLASSIC ANIMATED SERIES DEFENDERS OF THE EARTH: Volume One
Further Adventures of Flash Gordon, The Phantom, and Mandrake the Magician Available in Five-Disc Set on October 10th For $39.98
From out of the skies, rockets ignite, signaling the return to Earth of its greatest space champion, Flash Gordon. Now, the iconic interstellar hero has teamed up with his legendary comic strip and film companions for thrilling adventures in “Defenders of the Earth,” the animated series originally created by Marvel Productions. BCI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navarre Corporation, and Hearst Entertainment, are proud to announce the DVD release of “Defenders of the Earth: Volume One,” a five-disc set featuring the first 33 episodes of the series, available October 10th at a suggested retail price of $39.98.
“Defenders of the Earth” follows the continuing story of Flash Gordon, who returns to Earth in the near future, to defend the planet against the evil Emperor Ming. In the exciting battle between good and evil that follows, Flash teams up with Mandrake, the master of illusion, the powerfully strong Lothar, and The Phantom, who has the ability to summon the strength of the jungle animals in his battle against evil. The dazzling quartet of heroes is joined by their young offspring: handsome and headstrong Rick Gordon; Jedda Walker and her panther sidekick; tough and smart Lothar "L.J." Jr.; and orphaned Kshin with his outer-space pet Zuffy. Together, the team of heroes must battle against evildoers from their pasts and future, including Ming and his underlings, as well as super villains, marauding aliens, destructive demons, and sultry enchantresses! United as a team, they protect mankind as the Defenders of the Earth.
“Defenders of the Earth” features Flash Gordon, who was created for comic strips in 1934 by Alex Raymond. Soon launched into Hollywood and beyond, Flash Gordon became one of the most popular and well-known space heroes ever created. The Phantom debuted in 1936 from creator Lee Falk, and the purple-clad "Ghost Who Walks" has been published worldwide ever since, as well as starring in feature films and animation. Mandrake the Magician (with sidekick Lothar) debuted in 1934, also the creation of Lee Falk, and his suave adventures were translated into film, radio, and a stage musical. When the quartet of heroes was united in the 1986 series by Marvel Productions — the creative minds behind Spider-Man, the Hulk, and X-Men — the result was “Defenders of the Earth.” Over the course of 65 syndicated episodes, the series led to a 1987 comic book adaptation published by Marvel, a line of books, and a popular toy line from Galoob.
As it has done with its previous award-winning animated boxed sets, BCI will include in the five-disc collection a series of dazzling Special Features. The deluxe set will be packaged in a brilliantly-designed fold-out box with slipcase.
Special features for “Defenders of the Earth: Volume One” include:
· Interviews with “Defenders of the Earth” producers David J. Corbett and Bill Hutten, voice actors Peter Mark Richman and Loren Lester, and historian Rick Norwood.
· Full episode audio commentary track for “Defenders of the Earth” Episode 1 - “Escape From Mongo” featuring supervising producer David J. Corbett, producer/director Bill Hutten, story editor and episode writer Bryce Malek, voice actor Loren Lester (Rick Gordon), and episode storyboard artist Michael Swanigan. Commentary hosted by special features producer Andy Mangels.
· Image gallery of “Defenders of the Earth” original model sheets and sketches, plus a gallery of presentation artwork and backgrounds uses in the series.
· Original Presentation Pilot for “Defenders of the Earth” featuring alternate characters and animation
· Detailed profiles of various characters
· Two exclusive collectible 4x6 “Defenders of the Earth” art postcards by acclaimed comic book artists Michael Allred and Rafael Kayanan
· DVD-ROM Features – a selection of complete scripts and storyboards (PDF format, PC/Mac readable)
· “Defenders of the Earth” Trivia and Fun Facts

FUNimation Acquires 'Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles' Feature Film from Harmony Gold
announced on 2006-08-02 19:09
Fort Worth, TX, August 2, 2006 -- FUNimation® Entertainment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navarre Corporation and the market share leader for home video sales of Japanese animation in the United States, announced today that it has acquired rights to the feature film "Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles" from Harmony Gold. In the agreement, FUNimation acquired home video, broadcast and theatrical rights to this movie that delivers the continuation that fans have been anticipating for 20 years.
"Robotech is the series that introduced an entire generation to anime," said Gen Fukunaga, president and CEO of FUNimation. "It captured fans with its tremendous storylines and great storytelling. The Robotech series also ended on a cliffhanger that left fans waiting for 20 years. FUNimation is very excited to be part of the team that will bring expectant fans the ending they have been waiting for in Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles."
"While I watched over Robotech for the past twenty years, we were met with boundless enthusiasm from fans and companies alike," explained Frank Agrama, executive producer and CEO of Harmony Gold. "Robotech has a timeless quality that will live on forever. Then when I met this enthusiastic leader named Gen from FUNimation, I knew he had the right energy to help us take it twenty more years into the future."
Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles is the latest exciting chapter of the Robotech saga. A heroic cast of returning characters, led by Scott Bernard and Vince Grant, fight to end a decades-long struggle against an enigmatic alien race known as the Invid. However, the mysterious disappearance of the legendary Admiral Hunter will unfold in a treacherous mystery that could tear apart our young heroes and threaten their very survival!
Tommy Yune, director of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, explains, "Beneath the mesmerizing science fiction and anime world of Robotech, lies a palette of endearing characters that have become a part of the lives of countless fans. We couldn't leave their story unfinished. It's about time for Robotech to open this new chapter and more!"
Featuring the voices of Mark Hamill (Star Wars) and Chase Masterson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), the animation of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles also takes a generational leap into the future through a technological marriage of CG graphics beautifully composited with vibrant anime characters. The heightened production values showcase high-definition video, 5.1 digital surround sound, and an incredible musical score performed by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
FUNimation plans to release the Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles DVD on November 21, 2006.

AnimEigo has licensed Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl. "Expect the first box set in early 2007," their website reads, "though we don't guarantee this timeline."
AnimEigo will hold "an extremely fashionable preorder" for the show. Previous AnimEigo preorders featured a degrading price scheme in which the final price dropped as the number of preorders rose.
Yawara is AnimEigo's first anime license since the You're Under Arrest TV series in 2001. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

from http://www.satamsonic.com, a fansite for the old Saturday morning Sonic the Hedgehog series (Nightweaver's favorite), specifically this thread in their forums:
Quote:
Hey, guys! It gives me great pleasure to finally speak with some of the SatAM fans. You have no idea how long I've waited to do so, since this deal between DiC and Shout! Factory has been in the works for quite some time. But it's official. Shout! Factory will be releasing Sonic the Hedgehog: The Complete Series in early 2007. Unfortunately, I can't tell you just how early, since that's not exactly my job.
What I can say is this... Because I'm Shout! Factory's residing 80s-90s geek, I have the great privilege of producing this set. If you're interested in knowing what kinds of bonus features I've been able to put together for previous DiC sets, feel free to check out COPS: The Animated Series, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Volumes 1 & 2, Inspector Gadget: The Original Series, Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?, and the upcoming Sabrina the Animated Series.
You'll notice there are a lot of art-related bonus features on these sets. Frankly, that's for two reasons. First of all, as a producer and director myself, I'm always fascinated by the way things are put together, so I usually like to show you everything from early concept art to animated storyboards and the like. The second reason is that this artwork is often the only kind of bonus material available from DiC. There was a time when they didn't have this stuff in their archives, especially for some of the older shows, and the boxes have been pilfered. Often, this is what survives the years.
For Sonic the Hedgehog, however, I'd like put some special bonus features onto the set. These are currently pending, so only time will tell.
I just want to let everyone know that I'll be stopping in, most likely daily, to get feedback, ideas, concerns, etc. from you guys. I'm a fanboy, too, and I know what it's like to have something you love being handled by someone who couldn't care less. I want to ease those concerns here and now. I'll do everything in my power to create a set you'd all be proud to own.
That said, there are times when certain things are out of my control and I want you all to understand that. Unfortunately, there are times when you say, "I think it'd be great to have [insert bonus feature here]! Make sure that's on the set!" And then, I go looking to put that stuff on and I can't. It's not that I didn't try. It's simply that, for one reason or another, I couldn't get permission.
So chat away. You have my ears (or eyes, as the case may be).
Thanks!
Brian Ward

Hello iTunes?!
Viz Media Obtains License to Download Death Note
Jan 10 2007
Innovative Agreement Will Provide Episodes On A Download To Own/Rent Basis Soon After They Air In Japan
San Francisco, CA, January 10, 2007 – VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), one of the entertainment industry's most innovative and comprehensive publishing, animation and licensing companies, has announced that it has licensed from Nippon Television Network Corporation (NTV) the Download to Own (DTO) and Download to Rent (DTR) rights for the United States for the smash hit DEATH NOTE anime series, currently airing in Japan.
The deal is significant because it marks the first time a well known Japanese anime property will be made legally available to domestic audiences for download to own while the title still airs on Japanese television. VIZ Media will seek to make the series available to consumers through a number of online providers in order to reach the widest audience possible.
DEATH NOTE, based on the Shueisha manga series of the same name, is currently one of the hottest anime titles in Japan. Published in North America by VIZ Media, it depicts the adventures of Light Yagami, an ace student with great prospects but who is bored out of his mind. All of that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to investigate, and he is soon hot on the trail of Light, who must now reevaluate his one noble goal.
“We are pleased to team with a leading anime and manga company like VIZ Media to bring the DEATH NOTE anime series to eager fans in the United States digitally,” states NTV Spokesperson. “VIZ Media understands how the Internet can be used to distribute content. With a built-in fan base already generated by the popularity of the DEATH NOTE manga series, we are looking forward to the success of this innovative partnership.”
“With Shueisha's support and the agreement with NTV to bring DEATH NOTE to the American market, we will establish a new benchmark for bringing our audience the content they want when they want it,” says Daniel Marks, Senior Vice President, Strategy & Business Development, VIZ Media. “The success of the DEATH NOTE manga has created tremendous anticipation for its anime counterpart and we are committed to delivering the best content through a variety of platforms to our tech savvy fan base." _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S.
