This means that all you anti-Manga fans can now buy it now without fear of
putting money in Manga's pockets.

Iczer 1 release planned by Anime Projects

Buried in the news section of the Anime Projects/AD Vision catalogue has been
discovered a claim that they will be releasing the Iczer 1 series at some point.
One phone call later, I found out that work on releasing it has to fit around
their commitments to AD Vision, and since this is taking 99% of their time, AP
are unlikely to get round to it soon.
