HOUSTON, July 3, 2002 - ADV Films has set the street date of August 20, 2002 for the DVD premiere of Super Atragon, the popular OAV produced by Toho International, the legendary producers of the Godzilla movie franchise, and co-producers of Akira and Spriggan. Super Atragon is based on Kaitei Gunkan, the 1900 Japanese science fiction novel by Shunro Oshikawa. Previously available on VHS, this release marks the DVD premiere of Super Atragon.
The Story: Moments after an atomic bomb falls over Hiroshima, a secret Japanese submarine sails into battle against its American counterpart, and both are lost to history. Some fifty years later, the long-lost sub astonishingly reappears, as a mysterious black cylinder threatens a special UN task force sent to investigate unusual phenomena in Antarctica. However, the incident in the Antarctic is only the first round in a cataclysmic battle of wills between two descendants of an ancient race dwelling within the Earth. Standing against them is a single, amazing ship - the RA, a Yamato-class battle sub secretly rebuilt after its supposed destruction in World War II. A science fiction masterpiece with a brilliant story and stunning animation, Super Atragon is a classic no one should miss!
ADV’s release of Super Atragon ($24.98 SRP) collects the two-part sci-fi anime in the English-language, as well as the Japanese language version with English subtitles.
