Thank God My Batch Download Finished Last Night

The surprise seemingly-out-of-nowhere news of the week is ADV’s license of AIR the anime and its subsequent 87-minute movie. The company has set the release date for the first of four volumes as August 14 and stated a new DVD will come out each month – this means that all of AIR will have been brought to the R1 market by the end of November. That’s like Viz releasing three volumes of the Naruto manga a month from September to December, except with video discs.

I think it’s worth noting out that it was last Friday that ADV announced at Anime Boston that the first volume of Innocent Venus will come out on August 21. In that particular press release, you can read rep David Williams describing the anime as “combin[ing] the sci-fi noir of Logan’s Run with the fast-paced action of Gantz”.

P.S. I am not lying about the title of this post. I actually did finish downloading AIR the TV series (but not the movie) last night and was – and still am – planning to watch it this weekend, although I’m going to be occupied with yard work part of Saturday and I have a paper due Thursday…
