Statement of delivery from Gonzo Style

After hearing in September that Gonzo would be closing its official online store at the end of that month, I ordered some items from the GONZO Style store since there were heavy discounts on a number of products.

I saw the first episode of Pumpkin Scissors when it premiered in fall 2006 and found it marginally interesting but not enough to continue to the second episode. Recently I got around to watching the Volume 1 DVD that I had bought during RightStuf’s Xmas sale and I now feel the same way about the second disc: I’m kind of interested in the story but not enough to buy the next volume to find out.

ADV released some new trailers this week for 5 Centimeters per Second (December), Pumpkin Scissors (Oct. 23 – tentative), Red Garden (Sept. 18), Welcome to the NHK (Oct. 2 – tentative), and Xenosaga (Sept. 11).

If I had only seen the trailers and not any episodes, I would be interested in watching Red Garden (zombie hit by a truck!), kind of like to see Pumpkin Scissors (“In a country ravaged by war…”), and not care for Welcome to the NHK (“porn” is said three times…) and Xenosaga (never played the games).

ADV made it known during their panel at Anime Central and through a press release on Friday that they have licensed four GONZO titles: Red Garden, Welcome to the NHK!, Pumpkin Scissors, and Magikano. Most of those sound like they would be good fits with ADV’s marketing but I am a little concerned about NHK, probably because I’ve watched the most of that one out of the bunch.

Here’s the release breakdown from the press release:

  • Red Garden: 24 episodes over 6 discs
    Volume 1 due 9/18/2007
  • Welcome to the NHK!: 24 episodes over 6 discs
    Volume 1 due 10/2/2007
  • Pumpkin Scissors: 24 episodes over 6 discs
    Volume 1 due out 10/23/2007
  • Magikano: 13 episodes over 3 discs
    Volume 1 due out 12/4/2007
