ADV Films has set a street date of February 5th, 2002 for the DVD release of Plastic Little - the sexy, outrageous anime fan favorite. Previously available only in VHS format, this popular title is finally coming home on DVD.
Journey to the breathtakingly beautiful planet Yietta, where colonists - living on a floating artificial continent - make their living by exploiting tourists. But no paradise is perfect! A secret organization within Yietta’s military initiates a ruthless plot to take control of the planet. At the last moment, Professor Nalerof Mordish sabotages their plans, but in the process, loses his own life. Believing Mordish’s daughter Elysse possesses a computer code vital to their cause - the military capture her as well. Captain Tita and the crew of her hyper-sub Cha Cha Maru put their lives on the line to rescue her. When the military mobilizes, in a desperate bid to retrieve Elysse, it’s a game of Cat and Mouse on a planet-wide scale - with one crucial difference: mice don’t shoot back!

Long ago, in a time of magic and mystery, there lived a group of courageous individuals known as the Sorcerer Hunters. Pure of heart and dedicated to justice, their job was to rid the kingdom of the powerful sorcerers and demonic monsters that oppressed the people and terrorized the land.
This isn't their story.
This IS the story of Shibas, a bounty hunter whose job is to rid the kingdom of the powerful sorcerers and demonic monsters that oppress the people and terrorize the land . . . for a price! Although the price isn't small, it's willingly paid in full. Even though he may be debauched, debased and a real bastard at times, he's also good. Really good! So good, in fact, that when a local nasty needs a powerful sorcerer to use as a sacrifice, he settles on Shibas. It's just his bad luck that Shibas has no intention of cooperating. Get ready for the magical mayhem of Sorcerer on the Rocks!
