V-DAY HAS ARRIVED.
“From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend…”
Media Blasters is thrilled to announce its biggest release in the history of the AnimeWorks label. In conjunction with World Events Productions, we will be releasing the original, most beloved robot action animation ever
made…VOLTRON: DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE! Finally, after years of waiting, the series that captured the hearts and imaginations of children and adults alike will be available in special edition DVD boxed sets beginning in September 2006.
If you put together everything you love about anime, they form VOLTRON!
Before robot shows and Japanese imports took off on American TV, the world was introduced to a universe of mighty robots, growing monsters and big-eyed heroes through VOLTRON: DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE. With fantastical alien worlds, breath-taking action scenes, mortal combat, emotional characters, unique comedy and stark tragedy, VOLTRON went well beyond the imagination of most American “cartoons”. For those who grew up watching it, VOLTRON provided the spark that set imaginations on fire and has earned its position as the show that brought a generation into Anime.
With nostalgic animated TV series seeing a resurgence on DVD, one of the biggest to ever hit the airwaves remains absent from the shiny format.
VOLTRON was the number one children’s program in the United States during its initial run in 1984. And the nation hasn’t stopped talking about it since.
VOLTRON continues to be shown on television throughout the world, appears regularly on VH1’s “I Love the 80s” and Seth Green’s “Robot Chicken”.
VOLTRON t-shirts and merchandise are available all over the world. Recently, comic books were published by Devil’s Due and new Voltron toys were just released by Toynami this year. And with a blockbuster Hollywood film in the works from producers Mark Gordon (SAVING PRIVATE RYAN) and Pharrell Williams (N.E.R.D.), along with an all-new animation coming from Kickstart Entertainment, VOLTRON-mania is in full-force.
VOLTRON has grown into an object of fierce devotion and has become a part of the American lexicon. With Media Blasters’ release of the series on DVD in September, VOLTRON will become the must-have DVD set of the year.
“Let’s go Voltron Force!”

CENTRAL PARK MEDIA ACQUIRES JUN AWAZU’S NEGADON FOR NORTH AMERICAN RELEASE
Astounding Retro Style Computer Graphics Animation is an Homage to Classic Japanese Monster Movies
New York, NY (January 20, 2006) – Leading anime distributor Central Park Media Corporation (CPM), in cooperation with CoMix Wave of Japan, is proud to announce CPM’s acquisition of Jun Awazu’s animation masterpiece, Negadon: The Monster from Mars, for exclusive North American distribution.
The anime film was directed by Jun Awazu from his original script and rendered in staggeringly realistic, film noir computer graphic style, similar to recent blockbuster hits such as Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow. Negadon pays homage to a wide variety of 1950’s and 60’s Japanese monster movies such as Godzilla, Mothra, and other classics which first brought global attention to Japan’s then-emerging post-war feature film industry. These early special effects monster movies paved the way for the eventual success of the Japanese animation industry, which took a leadership position throughout the world in the 1990’s.
“We are ecstatic to be able to handle Mr. Awazu’s work in North America,” commented Central Park Media’s Vice President of Business Affairs Masumi Homma O’Donnell. “His clarity of story-telling, the unique and dramatic art design, and the overall excitement of the film are what make this an anime masterpiece.”
The world’s first completely computer generated monster movie, Negadon was in production for over three years and required the invention of special rendering algorithms to reproduce a 1950’s style film look.
Released in Japan theatrically in October 2005, Negadon has won the Outstanding Production Award at the 20th Digital Contents Grand Prix and has been named a Jury Recommended Work at the 2005 Japan Media Arts Festival.
Negadon will be released theatrically this spring and on home video this summer. Central Park Media will make further announcements at New York Comic-Con at the end of February.
About “Negadon: The Monster from Mars” (Wakusei Daikaiju Negadon)
Original story written and directed by Jun Awazu (Daikaichou Magara Shurai, Magara Gekimetsu Daikessen), with music by Shingo Terasawa and animation modeling by Makoto Miyahara. Kenjiro Kato served as SFX Supervisor. Worldwide distribution is by CoMix Wave.

But when a Japanese freight spaceship returning from Mars crashes on the streets of Tokyo unleashing a giant and vicious monster from underneath the surface of Mars, only Dr. Narasaki and his long-abandoned robot Miroku can save Earth and mankind.

Jun Awazu was born in 1974 in the Aichi Prefecture of Japan.

He worked for two years at a production company as a CG designer and VFX artist, which he left in March 2003, to start his own company and the production of “Negadon.”

Ms. Youka Nitta attends New York Comic Con as Guest of Honor
New York, NY (February 25, 2006) – America’s leading name in Yaoi graphic novels, Be Beautiful, is proud to announce the acquisition of the first film based on the works of best-selling yaoi artist Ms. Youka Nitta: Embracing Love, a two part OVA directed by Yoshikata Nitta.
Ms. Nitta traveled from Tokyo to attend the New York Comic Con as a Guest of Honor, and was present at the announcement made during the Be Beautiful panel held February 25. “I have been waiting with anticipation to see how the anime would turn out,” confessed Ms. Nitta. “It was everything I hoped for, and more. I thought the artwork was translated beautifully onto the video monitor.”
Be Beautiful publisher Masumi Homma O’Donnell noted that the success of Brokeback Mountain was a testimony to the growing interest in yaoi among American women. “There are more and more yaoi images appearing in American popular culture,” she noted. “Youka Nitta is one of the most popular of the yaoi artists in Japan, so it’s only natural that she has such a growing audience here in the U.S.”
Ms. Nitta is the author of one of the top-selling yaoi manga series in Japan, Embracing Love. Currently available in America from the Be Beautiful label, Embracing Love portrays the dramatic relationships of two impossibly beautiful men, always the hallmark of a popular yaoi graphic novel, with three volumes already released. The film version of Embracing Love will receive its U.S. premiere later this year.

Her most important work is Embracing Love (“Haru wo Daiteita”) which put her in the top position in the world of Yaoi manga both in Japan as well as overseas. Ms. Nitta’s Embracing Love first appeared in a periodical magazine in 1997; it is still continuing after almost a decade.
Her uniquely dramatic drawing style and her excellently calculated elaborate storytelling create romantic tension through her work and are greatly loved by fans all over the world.

About Negadon: The Monster From Mars
Directed by Jun Awazu from his original script and rendered in staggeringly realistic computer graphics, Negadon: The Monster From Mars pays homage to a wide variety of 1950’s and 60’s Japanese monster movies such as Godzilla, Mothra, and other classics which first brought global attention to Japan’s then-emerging post-war feature film industry.
Negadon is the world’s first completely computer-generated monster movie. The film was in production for over three years and required the invention of special rendering algorithms to reproduce a 1950’s style look.
Unleashed in Japan in October 2005, Negadon won the Outstanding Production Award at the 20th Digital Contents Grand Prix and was named a Jury Recommended Work at the 9th Japan Media Arts Festival.

From Producers Shiyuuta Biwajima and Chikara Niki (BONDAGE MANSION / WICKED LESSONS / PERVERSE INVESTIGATIONS), this year Professor Shizuma will be educating three beautiful young women in the science of sex and submission!
To all observers, Ryuei College looks like a clean-cut, ivy-league school… but in reality, the school is hiding its true purpose: to produce perfect female sex slaves.
Enter Kyoichi Shizuma. After being fired from his last job for molesting the students, Kyoichi has been hired as a professor at Ryuei College and given a single task: turn three of the school’s top female students into willing, luscious, and obedient sex slaves.
When Kyoichi enthusiastically begins his new job, he discovers that his new students are going to be a handful. Yumiko, a gorgeous girl with glasses, knows all about the true nature of the college. She seems like the perfect, willing slave – but is she really? Then there’s the submissive and easily influenced Asuna. Beautiful as she may be, she never seems to be able to think for herself.
But Kyoichi’s biggest problem is with the fiery and defiant freshman Tomo. When Tomo discovers the true nature of the school’s “education program”, she’s determined to fight to her last breath. Kyoichi may have thought this was going to be his dream job, but he’s about to discover that it’s anything but easy!

Yusuke has a problem - the kind of problem any guy would love to have. You see, there’s this girl named Reina, who wants him to be her “private tutor”… oh, and she just happens to have gigantic breasts. Huge, massive, watermelon-sized gazongas that taste sweet and are as soft as marshmallows.
So, what could Yusuke’s problem possibly be? Well, when he goes to Reina’s house to give her “lessons”, he has a run-in with Reina’s mom. And boy, is her mom ever stacked. Those triple-F-cup beauties are even bigger than Reina’s! Plus, she’s got the whole “sexual mid-life crisis” going on… she pours it on hot and heavy, and really wants Yusuke to take her for a ride.
Still not seeing the problem? Well each of these lovely ladies wants Yusuke for her own, so when mom catches Yusuke and Reina in the act, the fight is on - and Yusuke’s trapped in the middle! Those two may be mother and daughter, but when it comes to winning Yusuke, they’ll go to any length to prove their sexual skill!
Good luck ladies, and may the best boobs win!

All his life, Takashi has been compared to his older brother, Satoshi. Satoshi is smarter. More athletic. More handsome. More successful. But despite the constant reminders that he’s “not as good as his brother”, Takashi was never jealous because Satoshi took him in after their parents died. But that was before Satoshi stole Miwa, the love of Takashi’s life, and married her.
Miwa. Both incredibly beautiful and kind, she captured Takashi’s heart long before she ever agreed to marry his brother. And now that she’s Satoshi’s wife, Takashi sees her every day. Sees her with him. Hears her having sex with him through the bedroom wall. And each day Takashi’s jealousy towards his brother grows a little more.
But it seems the tables may turn when Takashi’s voluptuous college professor discovers that Takashi scores in one way over his brother: his sexual prowess. Now with the right clothing, the right hairstyle, and lots and lots of hands-on sexual tutoring, she’s going to turn Takashi into a ladies’ man that even his brother will envy!
