The last Godannar DVD arrived today, completing my collection, and by last I mean the first volume with box as I purchased volumes 2-7 earlier in a nice deal.
Inside the box was an ad for Gravion Zwei, which is a few years old by now, but it certainly caught my eye. Below is the ad’s text, reproduced for your enjoyment.
————————————————————-
EFFEMINATE HEROES! GIANT FIGHTING ROBOTS! GRAVITY-DEFYING BREASTS!
Hold on to your feather duster! With a legion of perky maids and more FAN SERVICE than you can shake a stick* at, Gravion Zwei has all the action, comedy and MADCAP ADVENTURE you’ve been looking for!
*No, not that stick!

…Really? I mean, really?
I’m no opponent of fanservice (I bought all of Godannar after all), but damn ADV, are you trying to make people too embarrassed to show your DVDs in their homes? I mean, unless it’s full-on pornographic anime you could at least use some restraint, some clever lines which sum up the show in a reasonably tasteful manner.

That’s about the only way you can advertise Gravion. It’s fairly below average trash.

Anime isn’t about taste. It’s about tits and child porn.

Is the emphasis in that quoted text yours or theirs.
This is an important question.

It’s THEIR emphasis.

ADV has never really been known for subtlety in their ad copy, but I do suppose that’s a new low point for them.

I used to hate ADV because of shit like this, but now I don’t care anymore

Yeah, I agree with Wildarms. All I care about now is that they give us Gurren Lagann sometime in the next 20 years.
ADV LOOK AT ME WAIVE MY MONEY! I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT. I WANT TO PAY FOR THE SERIES I BOOTLEGGED! I THOUGHT IT WAS AWESOME!
