ADV has finally found a new licensing partner: Sentai Filmworks.
ADV films, the largest anime company in North America, had recently been going through some tough times when their partnership with Sojitz, a Japanese licensing company, had ended. Since then, ADV has dropped several of its titles, such as Gurren Lagann and Welcome to the NHK! and handed them over to other companies such as Bandai and FUNimation.
Hopefully this new partnership will mark an end to the struggle they had been going through.
This news also reveals that ADV will be distributing the anime adaptation of the popular visual novel Clannad. Clannad is based on a game by Key, the creators of other famous visual-novels-made-into-anime such as Kanon and Air. The series was animated by Kyoto Animation, famous for their work in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Lucky Star.
Through this partnership, ADV also acquired the rights to Koharu Biyori, Mahoromatic, Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful, Tsukihime, Pet Shop of Horrors, and Jewel BEM Hunter Lime.
