WE HAVE MET NADESICO, AND IT IS US Remember that feeling when you first really got into anime? Spending weekday afternoons with Tom on Cartoon Network’s Toonami, or playing a tape for the first time after anxiously waiting weeks for it in the mail? Maybe sitting together with friends in a darkened classroom once a week at the local anime club, or even late-night marathoning on Youtube of what just became your favorite new show. It’s a feeling of relaxation, of excitement, of immersing yourself in stories full of ideas and characters that resonate in your mind and make you go “Yeah! That’s how life should be!” Martian Successor Nadesico is like that. More than one of us on the Nozomi staff has fond memories of watching the show back when it first came out, and seeing it today, those same feelings come bubbling back to the surface. Nadesico is labeled a comedy, and rightly so, but that comedy flourishes thanks to a strong dramatic foundation. The plot would be at home in any number of traditional mecha series full of invading aliens, political troubles, advanced weaponry, and scheming private corporations - and it’s as dramatic as one could wish. Crisis and tragedy are no strangers to the crew of the Nadesico, the only ship in Earth’s fleet with the shield technology capable of standing against the Jovian Lizard menace. All that drama could really get a person down, and that’s why the Nadesico’s eclectic crew takes life as unseriously as possible, escaping the horrors of war through comedy and romance. They’re comprised of civilian “experts” rather than experienced soldiers, and the only sane one among the crew is Ruri, the 10-year-old ship operator. She’s not shy about insulting the idiots surrounding her – especially if she can get a laugh from the audience out of it. Captain Yurika may be a tactical genius, but she’s a complete ditz who spends most of her time pursuing Akito, the cook who really wants to stay a cook and not get dragged into piloting the ship’s advanced mecha all the time, thank you very much. The communications officer is a former star voice actress, because who else would you get to handle communications, the lead mecha pilot is a die-hard otaku who learned all his moves from that classic anime, Gekiganger 3, and so on down the roster. Ship discipline is more like a competition to see who can best parody venerable sci-fi franchises than anything approved of by the military. …Wait, back up. Gekiganger 3? Not only does Nadesico embody good anime, it’s also about watching good anime. Gekiganger 3 is an in-show anime series with no-few similarities to Getter Robo and a growing fandom that starts with two members of the crew and gradually consumes the entire cast. Over the course of the series, stark differences and too-close parallels are drawn between the “anime” world of Gekiganger and the “real” world of Nadesico. Some Nadesico characters vow to uphold the noble ideals of love, death, and war espoused in Gekiganger 3, but are confronted with real-world consequences to those vows. Other, less-fanatical characters simply take comfort in watching their favorite show when the rest of the solar system seems determined to screw them over. We see characters teased for being grown-ups who still enjoy “children’s cartoons,” and we see friendships bloom over shared interests. We see characters who watch just because everyone else is, and characters who take their love of the show way, way too far. In short, we see us: an anime community - if, you know, we had an alien invasion to worry about. © XEBEC / Project NADESICO • TV TOKYO © 1998 XEBEC / NADESICO PRODUCTION COMMITTEE So you can see why we wanted to put together a totally sweet package for the show. As with Revolutionary Girl Utena, Nozomi Entertainment’s goal in bringing back Martian Successor Nadesico has been to create the definitive set for the title. Our new release contains not only the TV series and Prince of Darkness movie, but also the long-awaited Gekiganger 3 OVA, plus scores of extras previously unreleased in North America, including interviews with the entire main cast and a documentary with the staff. Among the audio options are both the original ADV Films English audio as well as a Japanese 5.1 surround sound track, never before available in North America. Furthermore, we were able to obtain the newly remastered footage from the recent Japanese re-release of Nadesico. This footage is actually doubly improved from the original U.S. release, which used the original TV broadcast version of the show. First, when Nadesico was released on home video in Japan, the animators went back and cleaned up the animation in a number of places - adding shadows, making lip flaps match more closely, and making other tweaks. Then, when the show was remastered for a new Japanese DVD release, the footage was cleaned to remove dust and scratches and to correct colors. The final result: Nadesico has never looked or sounded better. To top everything off, we’ve packaged the entire set in one of Nozomi’s famous sturdy, high-quality chipboard boxes. Whether you consider anime a casual hobby or a way of life, we hope you’ll enjoy our upcoming release of Martian Successor Nadesico. Maybe you’ll watch it for the dramatic plot, full of twists and turns, as old memories and dark revelations come to light. Maybe you’ll watch it for the character-derived comedy, realistic in its outlandishness as the characters strive to cope with war through ever-crazier antics. Maybe you’ll watch to find yourself in the Gekiganger-obsessed cast, and delight in each Gundam and Macross homage. We suggest you watch for all three and then some. - Nozomi Entertainment Staff Find out more about Nozomi Entertainment’s release of Martian Successor Nadesico on page 14.

BLUE EXORCIST STRAWBERRY PANIC I watched the adventures on Astraea Hill in a blearyeyed, Friday through Saturday, Sobe-fueled marathon of rapt, undistractable obsession.

I rooted for characters like Tamao, feeling my heart break for her as she tried desperately to win the love of someone whose eyes were fixed squarely on another.

N/R • Drama Box Set (Eps. 1-20) DVD • #880604001432 • SUB ONLY • 1200 mins • $44.99 Although many fans screech in horror at the very thought of altering the original Japanese version of a show, for a series to make it to American TV (or even into some retail stores), it is often edited. This can mean that scenes containing nudity, excessive violence, blood, and foul language are altered or even totally removed. Anime purists may want the original in all its glory, but parents of young TV viewers do not. Manufacturers recognize this and sometimes release both the Edited (TV) and the Uncut (original) versions of the show. DUB ONLY? SUB ONLY? HYB? Although DVDs and Blu-ray discs allow for the possibility of multiple languages, it’s not always possible to license a title for dual-language, or hybrid (HYB), release. So, you end up with manufacturers releasing discs that are Subtitled Only (SUB ONLY) or English Dubbed Only (DUB ONLY). Subtitled discs display the dialogue on the bottom of the screen while the actual voices are still in Japanese. Dubbed means the music is (probably) intact, but the voices have been redone in English. In our online store, subtitled items are represented by (S), dubbed items are represented by (D), and duallanguage, or hybrids, are represented by (HYB). Release Dates If an item has not yet been released at the time of this catalog’s printing, you may see a release date listed. However, manufacturers can (and often do) change these dates due to production delays. If you are preordering an item and are concerned whether it’s on schedule, please feel free to check the release date on our online store, or to contact our friendly Customer Care representatives. OVA (OAV) OVA stands for Original Video Animation. Basically, this means it is a direct-to-video release. Special Collections Certain DVD and Blu-ray items are marked with names such as “Viridian Collection,” “S.A.V.E. Edition,” etc. Print on Demand Some books are marked “Print On Demand.” This means they are part of the Right Stuf Print on Demand program, and are printed to meet orders. The paper quality used is higher than that of “regular” manga, but they may take extra time to ship if we do not have any copies already in stock. DVD/BLU-RAY SPECIFIC Can my DVD play in a Playstation / Xbox / personal computer? It depends on the DVD. There have been instances of some DVDs having difficulty playing in certain players. While the vast majority of DVDs will work just fine, we cannot guarantee all DVDs will play correctly on your Playstation, Xbox, or personal computer. Will a Blu-ray disc play in my regular DVD player? Just as CDs and DVDs require different types of players, so do DVDs and Blu-ray discs. In order to play a Blu-ray disc, you must have a Blu-ray player or a Playstation 3. Will a DVD play in my Blu-ray player? While soˆme Blu-ray players will also read DVDs, not all do. We cannot guarantee that all DVDs will play in your Blu-ray player. What is Region Coding? Region coding is a geographical restriction for DVDs and Blu-ray discs. Since players are region specific, you need to make sure that the item you purchase is coded for the same region as your player. All DVDs and Blu-ray discs we sell are region coded for the United States. What region is my player? If you purchased your player from a retail outlet in the U.S., it should be Region 1 for DVD players or Region A for Blu-ray players. You can check the region coding on your player by looking for the region code symbol on the player’s packaging. DVD Region Codes: 0 Region Free 1 United States and Canada 2 Europe, Egypt, Arabia, Japan and South Africa 3 Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo and Indonesia 4 Australia and New Zealand, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America 5 India, Africa, Russia and former USSR countries 6 People’s Republic of China Blu-ray Region Codes: A The Americas, Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia B Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand C Russia, India, China and the rest of world GENERAL I saw this show that I think might have been anime. Do you have it? If you can give us enough information, someone can usually identify the program. Please understand, though, that if you ask us about something where “there’s a girl who’s a magic user, a guy with a sword, and a villain who wants to take over the universe,” there’s a problem. This describes about half the films ever made. Also, knowing what a series or movie is doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s available in the U.S. as a licensed product, but it could be. Why isn’t (title here) available in the U.S.? You might be surprised to find out how much anime is available in the U.S. Of the few titles that remain unlicensed, some titles have their rights disputed, some licensors want more money than a title can possibly generate in this market, and of course, some are currently in negotiation. With the exception of a few TV series (which are a different matter entirely, due to their length), this just about covers it. We do not sell bootlegged products. Why don’t you carry many imports? Limited availability of imports and lack of timely distribution of such overseas items make it difficult to provide quality imports on a timely basis. As such, these items are generally only listed on our online store, so if you’re looking for a particular item, please check our online store or contact Customer Care. Why don’t you have (title here) audio soundtrack from Japan? See the previous question. You also might want to check our online store, since some titles are available domestically. I really want to learn Japanese. What resources do you have? We have many products to help our customers learn about Japan and the Japanese language! Whether you’re just starting out or you’re ready to move onto the next level, we carry the latest items to help you learn the Japanese language. These items are available on our online store, including everything from videos and textbooks to memory aids and intermediate readers. Can I special order items that are not on the online store? Simply put: If it isn’t on our online store, we can’t get it at the moment. Do you carry adult products? Since the catalog is delivered to anime fans of all ages, we’ve taken special precautions to ensure younger fans are not exposed to listings for products that contain adult situations or sexual content. Products of this nature have been placed in a special adult insert, and you will only receive it if you have ordered these products in the past. If you would like to receive a printed copy of the adult section, you can send a written request to: Right Stuf Adult Catalog Request PO Box 680 Grimes, IA 50111-0680 A free downloadable version is also available on our website at: http://catalog.rightstuf.com What’s this “Got Anime” thing?

Can I pay with my PayPal account? Sorry, we do not accept PayPal at this time. I’m an international customer. What’s with this extra data you need? With international mail and credit card fraud becoming a growing problem, we feel it’s better to ask you for additional information, rather than charge everyone outside the country a lot more for their stuff. First-time international customers using American Express cards can place orders immediately, with no additional security checks. American Express automatically verifies the cardholder address and is our preferred method of payment. For first-time orders paying via VISA, Master Card, or Discover, we require a copy of some form of address verification (driver’s license, passport, etc.) that shows your address, along with a photocopy of BOTH the FRONT AND BACK side of your credit card. For security purposes, you may black out one set of digits. Upon request, we can provide a secure website location to submit this information. This information is destroyed after verification. Shipping Address (If paying by credit card, this address must match your credit card billing information.) (International customers must ship to their billing address.

For domestic (U.S.) orders: We may, at our option, ship your order in multiple shipments. Please note that, in general, only shipments using the economy ship method will receive partial shipments.

Unopened DVDs and Blu-rays can be returned for Right Stuf store credit (or in the case of credit cards, refunded to the issuing card).

Although you can use the online store to generate your order, nothing will be recorded by our system, so make sure that you don’t lose your form or you’ll have to re-enter everything all over again!

DAWN OF THE ARCANA ORESAMA TEACHER Mafuyu is determined to put her yanki days behind her. Unfortunately, fate keeps throwing delinquents in her path, so she ends up fighting both school bullies and her own nature. No matter how many punks she faces down, though, it never gets old. Each scenario somehow surpasses the last in slapstick humor and out-and-out weirdness, so you never really know what to expect. Even if you don’t normally follow shoujo manga, give Oresama Teacher a try. It’s genuinely funny and filled with odd and likable characters who are perpetually involved in zany situations. - Christy S. Get more information on page 36.
