Are you ----in' kidding me?! They're finally doing it?!

I only hope they release the rest of ExoSquad's episodes as well.

(I should really pay more attention to DVD releases.)

A.D.VISION, INC. CONCLUDES SERIES OF ASSET TRANSACTIONS

HOUSTON, September 1, 2009 — A.D. VISION, INC. ("ADV" or the "Company") announced today that June 1, 2009, the Company concluded a series of transactions that are expected to result in seamless delivery of home video products and television programming to customers.

Through an asset purchase agreement, AEsir Holdings, LLC ("Aesir") acquired a subordinated interest in selected programming from ADV's film library together with other intellectual property subject to all liens and security interests of the Company's senior secured lender. The transaction requires Aesir to assume specific obligations and scheduled liabilities of the Company under legacy license agreements associated with the acquired programming.

Concurrently, the Company concluded an asset purchase agreement with SXION 23, LLC, doing business as "Section23 Films," a home video distribution company, under which it assumes account servicing and distribution operations in connection with the library acquired by Aesir, subject to all liens and security interest of the Company's senior secured lender.

John Ledford, ADV's President and CEO, states "We believe the actions we initiated and completed provided the same or more value to the Company's secured lender and its programming licensors while giving other key stakeholders such as employees and customers some potential value or the reasonable probability of realizing value."

In a separate transaction, Valkyrie Media Partners, LLC ("Valkyrie") acquired a 100% equity position in Anime Network, Inc. ("ANI"), formerly ADV's television unit, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement between ADV and Valkyrie. That transaction includes an assumption by Valkyrie of specific liens and security interests of the Company's senior secured lender.

In another separate transaction, Seraphim Studios, LLC acquired Amusement Park Media, the production unit of A.D. Vision, Inc.

Further announcements are expected from the respective acquiring entities over the coming days.

In English, AD Vision has chopped off its "ADV Films" head and had 5 new ones spring up in its place. Wink

The North American anime distributor Funimation has announced at its New York Anime Festival panel on Friday that it has licensed the X fantasy anime television series and its X OAV prologue, as well as five stages of the Initial D street-racing anime. Funimation will ship MADHOUSE's anime adaptation of CLAMP's X manga with the English dubbing that Geneon/Pioneer Entertainment, the previous licensee, had released.

On the other hand, Funimation will redub the Initial D anime instead of using the adaptation that the previous licensee, Tokyopop, had produced earlier. Funimation has acquired Initial D: First Stage, Second Stage, Extra Stage, Third Stage, and Fourth Stage. Funimation will retain the original, uncut music for its soundtrack.

Funimation has also announced the English dubbing cast for the ongoing Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood television series version of Hiromu Arakawa's fantasy adventure manga. Bryan Massey will play Isaac, J. Michael Tatum will play Scar, and Maxey Whitehead will play Alfonse Elric. The other characters will have the same voice cast from the earlier 2003-2004 Fullmetal Alchemist television adaptation. Alfonse Elric's former voice actor, Aaron Dismuke, will have a "big role" later on. Caitlin Glass and Mike McFarland are the ADR directors for the English dub.
