               2/03/2003~ It’s been a remarkably surprising day for ADV Films news. In a press release yesterday, Cartoon Network (CN) has announced that several ADV titles will appear on CN’s upcoming Giant Robo Week scheduled to begin on 2/24 on their Toonami programming block.
The weeklong event will feature classic Gigantor segments plus ADV titles such as Evangelion, Dai-Guard, Nadesico, and Robotech.
Fans will notice from the schedule listed below that each series has only been allocated 1-2 days for approximately 1 hour segments. Does this mean that the shows will be edited or only limited episode will be shown? ADV has yet to release anything official on the subject, though we’ll keep you informed when we do hear.
  • Evangelion: 2/24 and 2/25 @ 4:30PM (ET/PT)
  • Dai-Guard: 2/27 and 2/28 @ 4PM (ET/PT)
  • Nadesico: 2/24 and 2/26 @ 4PM (ET/PT)
  • Robotech: 2/26 and 2/28 @ 4:30PM (ET/PT)

               Seems several of the studios have been putting a lot of effort into creating series based websites lately. ADV has added to their growing list with the launch of the Flash site for Rahxephon. All the usual elements on the story, the staff and the characters are there, though it seems a bit unusual for ADV that the site is missing a section for news about what's going on with the series. They do however have a mailing list you can sign up for to be informed when anything on the site changes.
