AD Vision Explains Things

Recently, a lot of rumors have been flooding the forever-flooded intestines of the Internets, regarding the sudden move made by ADV which involved removing no less than 37 titles, anime and live action movies alike, from the AD Vision homepage. All these titles were either distributed already, either being held under ADV's firmly distribution grasp.

I can sympathize with my almost-fellow Americans and I can understand that many of them went nuts, probably speculating the worst. For them, especially, a certain AD Vision spokesman felt necessary to give a very vague explanation:

We know there are a lot of rumors swirling about, and that fans are looking for assurances that ADV will continue to distribute the anime series they know and love.

While we can't go into any detail at this time, please know that ADV is working through a few short-term challenges and fully intends to continue our releases.

We thank you for your patience.

Translation: None needed. These kind of statements/press releases usually mean one thing: the company has issues regarding its financial status and it's making some decent long term marketing speculation to adjust their problems. If releasing those titles will not help getting ADV back on its feet, you can say bye bye to them.
