ADV Announces Final Godannar on August 29th
HOUSTON, July17, 2006 —ADV Films, the number one producer-distributor of anime outside of Japan, is pleased to announce the seventh and final volume in its modern mecha romance epic. Godannar: War Bride hits store shelves everywhere August 29.
Godannar is a genre-bending mecha anime series best described as equal parts action, adventure, and domestic soap opera. While much of anime is populated by high school vixens, magical fairies, and femme fatales, it's rare to find a married couple at the center of the story. And that's just one of the reasons Godannar stands out. That, and a female giant robot that jiggles. And a fantastic opening theme song.
Five years ago, as the Mimetic Beasts laid waste to Japan, Dannar Pilot Go saved young Anna Aoi's life. As they prepare to march down the aisle, a new Beast appears and Go is summoned into battle once more. But he's not going alone, not if his blushing bride-to-be can help it! If they can mate their robots' interlocking parts, they'll form the ultimate marriage of man, woman, and machine!
Synopsis: They met in combat and it's combat that will tear them apart. Against a backdrop of planet-wide destruction, the Dannar team begins the last desperate assault against their inhuman adversaries. But as the war with the Mimetic Beasts reaches it's climax, the breaking point in Goh and Anna's own relationship is finally met. To win the war will require one last sacrifice, no matter what the cost. What God has joined, Man will tear asunder in the final apocalyptic volume of GODANNAR!
Godannar: War Bride (SRP $29.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release including the final three episodes, presented in both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles. Extras include “From the Archives—Recording the Songs,” production sketches, plus clean opening animation, clean closing animation, and previews of upcoming ADV Films releases.
