ADV ANNOUNCES DECEMBER 5 RELEASES
HOUSTON, October 5, 2006 —ADV Films, the number one producer-distributor of anime outside of Japan, is pleased to announce the release of the wacky and exciting new series Paniponi Dash!, along with the third volume of the insane Papuwa. These hilarious titles are set to hit the streets on December 5!
PANIPONI DASH!: LETHAL LESSONS
10th Grade Class + 11 Year Old Teacher…You Do The Math.
ADV Films is pleased to bring an all new series that is sure to leave your stomach aching with laughter! The first installment of Paniponi Dash! is slated to hit store shelves on December 5.
From studios GANSIS and Shaft (Negima!) and Director Akiyuki Shinobi (Petite Cossette) comes a hilarious new high school comedy that should appeal to fans of Excel Saga. Join Becky, the gang, and one really depressed bunny as they get themselves into all sorts of trouble on and around campus.
Synopsis: Good news? She's an MIT grad. Bad news? She's an 11-year-old MIT grad. So while Becky Miyamoto may be intellectually able, this MIT prodigy is painfully ill-equipped to deal with a group of temperamental teens, especially THIS group. There's the bitchy heather, the spazz, the angry nerd, the identical twins, the invisible girl, the freaky class president, the drama geek, the Nancy Drew, the gamer, the princess…whew! Add to that her pathetically-abused stuffed bunny buddy and idiotic aliens watching her every move and it's no wonder Becky's prone to crying fits, tirades, and flipping the class the bird. Don't miss the Grade-A comedy from the brains behind Negima!—Paniponi Dash! It's a lesson in comedy that'll just kill you.
Paniponi Dash: Lethal Lessons (SRP $29.98 DVD) is an anamorphic DVD-only release including the first five episodes, presented in both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles. Extras include AD Vidnotes ™, two Japanese television spots, a special opening “Yellow Vacation,” information for “The Chalkboard Champion Contest,” a reversible cover, a booklet insert, plus clean closing animation and previews of upcoming ADV Films releases.

“The Most Hilarious Anime I've Ever Seen.” – Anime-Planet.com
ADV is proud to bring you the third volume of the series bound to delight all lovers of weirdness. The crazy, goofy, loopy fun continues when Papuwa: Tropical Triathlon hits store shelves on December 5!
Synopsis: Let the games begin! The party animals on Papuwa Island are gearing up for some fun in the sun in a dizzying series of funky festivities and crazy competitions. The first event is the annual Hina King Cup, where the competitors are drunken assassins, and the playing field is steeped in booby-traps, creepy creatures and murderous samurai. Next up is Beach Volleyball with an electrified net and a masochistic porcupine fish for a ball. The final event is the Boy's Day Festival, where the island inhabitants summon the Great Man God to measure their machismo and test their testosterone. This year, it's Kotaro's turn. He must flex his stuff to recover the mysterious “Man Ball” and pass “The Test of Courageous Manhood”.
Papuwa: Tropical Triathlon (SRP $29.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release including episodes 11-14, presented in both English 2.0 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles.
