ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE FOR SAKURA WARS TV: CURTAIN CALL

FINAL VOLUME OF THE HIT ANIME TV SERIES TO BE AVAILABLE DECEMBER 23, 2003

HOUSTON, November 14, 2003, 2003-ADV Films today announced a December 23, 2003 release date for Sakura Wars TV: Curtain Call, the sixth and concluding volume of the series that has proved an enduring fan favorite, blending exciting robot combat, musical theatre, romance, and a dose of history lesson.

The Story:
Our heroes are on the run after the combined forces of evil destroy the headquarters of the Imperial Flower Combat Troop. Without a base of operations, the girls are at the mercy of Satani and his infernal crew. But the forces of good still have a few unplayed cards. Will it be too late in the game to win the jackpot?

Based on the video game that took the world by storm, Sakura Wars TV brings you even more of the beautiful warriors made popular in Sakura Wars. The grand adventure comes to an end with these four episodes of danger, despair, destruction, and defeat! When the fate of the globe hangs by a thread, the future depends on who holds the scissors.

The Sakura Wars franchise already had a dedicated fan base thanks to a series of OVAs and an enormously successful video game, but the television series has only compounded the story’s success. “It has the perfect blend of characterization, action, and a touch of humor. … Sakura Wars has all the right ingredients to become a winning series,” raves Phantasmagoria Online.

Sakura Wars TV: Curtain Call ($29.98 SRP) is a DVD-only release containing four complete episodes. It includes both English 5.1- and Japanese 2.0-language versions, and English subtitles. DVD extras include: an 8-page printed production notes booklet; clean opening and closing animation; and ADV previews.
