MVM Reveal DVD Plans
====================

MVM have announced that they will be releasing some of some of their most
popular anime titles on DVD. Their first DVDs will be the Oh My Goddess
series released on two volumes in August and September, which will be 
followed later by Bubblegum Crisis, and possibly others.

The Oh My Goddess DVDs will be released at the same time as the US and
Australian versions, with identical content. The only differences
between the three versions will be the region code and the covers. Details
can be found on the MVM website at
http://www.mvm-uk.co.uk/pages/omgdvd.htm.
