I don't know whether Anime News Network is trying to get people to click through to Advertising or what. Now they are saying that ADV films has pulled all of their new releases from their website and all trailers for those releases, also. This report came out after 6 PM ET/5 PM CT (Houston Time), so it could be that their website is having issues ( Read more... )
