AN Entertainment is proud to announce that the debut DVD volume of the
Miami Guns anime series will hit retail store shelves throughout North
America on June 22, 2004. Anticipated to be one of the year's breakout
surprise hits, Miami Guns is a wild, wacky comedy in the vein of the
best selling anime title Excel Saga. Fast paced, sexy, non-stop action
and comedy tailored toward anime fans, yet still easily accessible and
entertaining for viewers uninitiated into anime culture, are sure to
distinguish Miami Guns as one of 2004's most talked about "must see"
series!
ABOUT MIAMI GUNS
Based on a fan favorite four volume manga series by Takeaki Momose,
the artist behind the RahXephon manga, the 13 episode Miami Guns TV
series tells the story of spoiled rich girl Yao Sakurakouji who
decides to join the Miami police force to enjoy car chases, gunfights
and wanton destruction. The psychotic and not-too-bright Yao is
partnered with Lu Amano, the soft-spoken and sharp-tongued daughter of
the police chief. Together the dirty duo clean up the streets of Miami
and take on a mysterious crime syndicate known only as "The
Organization."
Slapstick comedy, risque action, and outrageous parody ensue. The
first Miami Guns DVD alone features side-splitting parodies of pop
culture icons including Jean Reno's Leon the Professional, Detective
Conan, Speed Racer, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Wacky Races, and a world
famous extended homage to the hit anime series Initial D. Director
Yoshitaka Koyama, the director behind the popular Rune Soldier anime
TV series, pulls out all the stops for Miami Guns, resulting in the
craziest, most bizarre anime to hit American shores since the
blockbuster hit FLCL.
ABOUT MIAMI GUNS DVD VOLUME ONE
The first of four Miami Guns DVDs to be released by AN Entertainment
will contain four full length bilingual episodes, copious translation
notes, and extensive bonus features including character guides,
production sketches, a look behind the scenes of the English dubbing,
and even original Japanese TV spots and trailers. The English language
adaptation of Miami Guns is provided by Phoenix Post Sound, the
internationally recognized and award winning dubbing studio formerly
known as Coastal Carolina Studios. The Miami Guns Japanese language
version will retain the original voice performances of Megumi
Toyoguchi (Chobits, .hack//SIGN, Vandread), Yukari Tamura (Please
Teacher, Galaxy Angel), Mitsuru Ogata (Lupin the 3rd, Millennium
Actress, Burn Up W, Pokemon), and Rie Tanaka (Wild Arms, Steel Angel
Kurumi, Chobits) and offer optional English subtitles, translated with
the extensive accuracy and detail that AN Entertainment translations
are noted for.
