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). They are the usual no-dialogue teasers with either the opening and ending song as music and narrative trailers with some footage that overlapped with the teasers. 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

I’m finally starting to get back to watching NHK and the rest of my neglected backlog and I think I’m going to do more of my episode entries in batches. For example, this post covers the four episodes of the “off meeting” mini-arc and is a little long because of it and my temporary inability to paraphrase my notes. Individual episode posts are tiresome especially with screenshots and this series in particular seems appropriate to be broken down into collective segments.
