ADV Films Announces the VHS and DVD Release of:
Orphen: Supernatural Powers
ADV Films is proud to announce the home video and DVD release of Orphen:
Supernatural Powers, the second installment of the newest fantasy anime series
from the #1 distributor of Japanese animation in North America.
Based on the popular series of Japanese fantasy novels that spawned the hit
Playstation 2® video game, this second installment of Orphen will resume the
breathtaking adventures of Orphen and fellow traveling companions Majic and
Cleo. Priced to sell at $19.98 (VHS) and $29.98 (DVD), this second installment
of Orphen promises to go over very well with fans of this hot new anime saga
when ADV Films releases it to eager buyers on September 11th.
The “Heiress With Attitude” is getting tired of traveling with
sorcerer-turned-dragon hunters Orphen and Majic. So when Cleao hears about the
legend of a monster near the mysterious resort at Mount Kahlna, it’s no surprise
when she goes to check it out. But neither Cleao nor her friends are quite
prepared for the truth behind the legend! Later, the group meets Fiena, a gentle
girl with the magical power to heal animals-a trait that comes in handy when the
forest is populated with shotgun-happy hunters. Yet the hunters aren’t the only
dangers in this forest. For watching their every move are several pairs of
glowing, yellow, angry eyes! From flora to fauna, this adventure of Orphen shows
nature at its most magical!
