UFO Princess Valkarie licensed by ADV
www.animeondvd.com
ADV Announced the license to 2 Animes and 4 Live Action Movies. Here is what they announced at PMX: # Rockman: Wishing Upon a Star (anime) # UFO Princess Valkarie (anime) Guess that's another marking-off for Animesuki. Not sure what Rockman OAV that is though. |

UFO Princess valkyrie is licensed??? This is another one to go down in the "WHY?!!" catagory. While I liked it, it wasn't that popular when it was being released. I won't try to claim that I know more about marketing then the experts ADV has, but I would assume that a series that very few people wanted for free will do even worse when people need to pay for it...
You'd think there would be someone working for these companies to keep track of fansubbers and their releases. They'd have an easier time stopping groups from distributing their licensed series, and would be able to keep track of what's popular. It's a good bet that a series popular among fansub watchers will be among the general anime viewing public, and unpopular series will probably be even more unpopular, since hardcore anime otaku who download would be more tolerant of a bad series. edit: Quote:
edit #2: does it say anything about december nocturne or is it just the original that's licensed?

If I went solely by what the fansub crowd finds popular, I'd have missed out on a lot of great series over the past few years. |

- Sister Princess - Angel Tail - Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto - Earth Defence Force Mao-chan All of these also fall in the "How on earth will they get people to buy these" category in my opinion. |

2005 Update
This release information was probably already in the thread before the data loss, so I thought I'd put it back for anyone interested.
- The title will be UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie due to marketing issues. (source: David Williams, Producer -- A.D.Vision, Inc. (ADV) - Release date for Vol. #1: UFO ULTRAMAIDEN VALKYRIE VOL 1 "BEDLAM BATHHOUSE & BEYOND" DVD SRP: $29.98 -- around March 2006 (source: January 2006 Diamond Previews) Last edited by Catgirls; 2005-12-24 at 00:39. |
