- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 1, 1993
-
- AnimEigo announces licensing of "AD POLICE Files"
- and "Ten Little Gal Force"
-
- Tokyo, Japan
-
- AnimEigo, the leading releaser of subtitled Japanese Animation in the United
- States, today announced the licensing of the 3 "AD Police Files" Science
- Fiction OVA (Original Video Animations) from Artmic and Bandai Visual, and
- "Ten Little Gal Force," a "super-deformed parody," from Toho International.
-
- "AD Police" is set in the same "future history" as AnimEigo's smash-hit
- "Bubblegum Crisis" and "Bubblegum Crash" OVA series. Taking place in the
- mid-2020's, the AD Police Files chronicle 3 investigations involving rookie
- AD (Advanced) Police officer Leon McNichol, as he and his comrades attempt
- to cope with the criminal consequences of the Genom Corporation's artifically
- intelligent androids, the "Boomers."
-
- "The tone of AD Police is darker and more adult than Bubblegum Crisis," said
- AnimEigo VP Roe Adams, "and as such, the OVAs are intended for mature
- audiences. AD Police paints a compelling picture of the dark side of a
- future where technology has gone wild."
-
- AnimEigo's other new license, "Ten Little Gal Force," is a slapstick parody
- of one of Japan's hit OVA and movie series, "Gal Force." "Ten Little Gal
- Force" is a "super-deformed" parody; a category unique to Japan, where the
- creators of the original series get together and parody their own creation,
- using an exaggerated, cartoony style of drawing the characters.
-
- "Ten Little Gal Force" will be packaged together with another "super-deformed"
- parody, the previously announced "Scramble Wars," thus providing a double-
- dose of deformed dementia.
-
- Release dates and pricing will be announced in the near future.
