HOUSTON, April 28, 2006 —ADV Films, the number one producer-distributor of anime in North America, is pleased to present the fifth volume in its hot new fighting anime series, Shadow Skill: Timor Mors Mortis, which will hit store shelves June 27. “If you are a fan of anime such as Slayers, Inuyasha and Fushigi Yuugi, I definitely recommend checking out Shadow Skill.” (J!-Ent.com)
The warrior kingdom of Kuruda is home to the fiercest fighters in the world, men and women who live solely for the chance to fight and become the greatest in the world. Young Gau Ban dreams of becoming the warrior of his generation. Along with his adopted sister Elle and the legendary Scarface, Gau trains and battles for the mastery of the Shadow Skill. Produced by Studio DEEN (Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok, Getbackers), “Shadow Skill mixes some decent humor with fantastic fighting” (Anime Frontier).
Synopsis: The annihilation of the Holy Nation has begun, and flames engulf the ancient city of Kuruda. All eyes are on Elle, for a maniac versed in the Kurudan martial arts has begun to assassinate key figures, with the skill which only a Sevalle such as she could possess. Sensing the time is ripe for attack, more of Ashlianna's enemies gather in the shadows, seeking to purge mankind of the “societal disease” known as civilization by awakening the beast within. With society clinging to order amidst the chaos, Elle violates the Law of the Four Devas, adding fuel to the inferno consuming Kuruda. In the war between man's dueling natures, has Elle finally given the beast in man the upper hand? Meanwhile Gau's trials at the hands of the 58th Sevalle, the deranged “G,” take him to the brink of madness, where a Darkness more terrible than death itself has set its eyes on our young hero's life. Will it take the sacrifice of Diaz for Gau to be delivered from his dark fate? Will the Black Wing ever fly again? Join us and find out, in this latest installment of Shadow Skill. And remember: while the fangs of the beast remain unbroken, the battle rages on!
Shadow Skill: Timor Mors Mortis (SRP $29.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release including episodes 18-21, presented in both English and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles. Extras include a commentary track with Marty Fleck (Iba Sutra), Jay Hickman (Kain) and John Swasey (ADR Director), plus clean opening animation, clean closing animation, and previews of upcoming ADV Films releases.
