Animejin News - 8th August 2001

This is the 175th irregular bulletin comprising the latest news section
from Animejin - an independent, non-profit UK anime (Japanese animation)
website. Please visit us at http://www.animejin.org.uk. All feedback
welcome.

DVD news
========

ADV Films and MVM have both announced new DVD releases for the next few
months. MVM will be releasing Riding Bean in October and the first Urusei
Yatsura movie in November.  ADV's next DVD will be Gunsmith Cats, which
will be released in November.

The date that I previously reported for the release of Blood: The Last
Vampire was incorrect - I listed the US release date by mistake. The
correct date is 17th September. A firm date for Akira on DVD has also been
set at 8th October. There is no news on the exact contents of the Akira
DVD apart from that fact that it will include the new English soundtrack
produced by Pioneer for the US re-release.
