GOTH ANIME GILGAMESH LOOKS IN THE MIRROR

DON’T CUT YOURSELF ON THE TRUTH COME 15th JANUARY 2007

LONDON, UK, 24th November 2006

ADV Films continues to redefine anime with the release of Gilgamesh - Tablet 05: As Truth Breaks Like Glass, in stores across the UK from 15th January 2007.

Gilgamesh is the latest sci-fi masterpiece from Shotaro Ishinomori (Cyborg 009, Kamen Rider). Ishinomori has created a dark, post-



 

apocalyptic world where the sky has been turned into a psychedelic mirror, and civilization is only a shadow of its former self.  Where beautiful assassins transform into terrifying winged creatures.  Where children are born with amazing powers.  And where a brother and sister are hunted by organizations with shadowy agendas.  Gorgeous animation, breakthrough character designs, and stunning visuals make this suspenseful, addictive tale of mystery, magic, and espionage the first gothic masterpiece of the new millennium!

The Story:

As Mitleid’s ruthless corporate raider examines “every inch” of Tatsuya’s body, he has a soul-shaking revelation.  Of even more consequence, this truth has an equally powerful impact on his fellow psychics in Orga, who decide to slip behind the Countess’ back for their own secret meeting with the widow’s enemy to find out what he knows about them.  Meanwhile, Tatsuya’s sister gets a surprise visitor as well when Septem, a beautiful (and jealous) new Gilgamesh, seeks to lure Novem from Kiyoko-and out of her bed.  But even if Septem succeeds in spiriting Novem away, Kiyoko is not exactly alone.  For she reveals a surprising, shockingly powerful new ally who will vex the plans of the Countess and her suit-clad, power-mad foe, shattering every one, every thing, and every side in this dark, deceptive war.

Gilgamesh - Tablet 05: As Truth Breaks Like Glass (RRP £19.99) is a DVD-only release, including three uncut anamorphic widescreen episodes in English 5.1- and Japanese 2.0-language, with English subtitles.  Extras include: clean opening and closing animations; character and production art galleries; glossary of terms; Tablet Histories, Futures; Revelations: A Gorgeous Puzzle; Anime Network Presents: Going, Going, Goth; and ADV Previews.
