A.D. Vision's New Fansub Label, ADV Fansubs, will have releases available through their website, mailorder, and convention sales. The first two series to be released under this label will be the City Hunter TV series and Nadia: Secret of Blue Water. Both will debut in March, with a new volume in each subsequent month. Each volume will contain 4 episodes and be priced at $19.98.

Now for the other news! ADV's newly announced titles include Monster Rancher TV on video, Rurouni Kenshin, Shin Getter Robo, and Sorceress-Stabber Orphen. They also have a host of live action movies due out, including The Samurai, Dragon Blue, Gamera - Advent of Legion and Gamera vs. Irys, Lady Battle Cop, The Hypnotist, Parasite Eve, Plugasari, and Silk & Steel.

The Martian Succesor Nadesico Movie has also been acquired, which should be released shortly after the TV series is completed. Arc the Lad TV, Chivass (Shibasu 1, 2, 3), Melty Lancer, and Power Stone have all also been newly acquired. An interesting point to think about is if ADV and Working Designs will try a marketing tie-in with the Arc the Lad anime and the newly announced Arc the Lad collection for PSX.

ADV Music has also been announced. Four new music titles will be released every month. Most releases will be cost effective at $14 MSRP. The first four releases from ADV Music will be the Akira Symphonic Soundtrack, Macross II OST, Macross Plus OST, and Macross Plus OST 2, all of which should be available soon.

Thanks to Legion for this exhaustive amount of info! Phew...I think I'll go sleep now!
