ADV hits us with a slate of new titles, including Clannad: After Story and He Is My Master photo

Looking for some ecchi comedy? Or how about some sappy love story that Dale can't get enough of? Well, ADV has all that and more, with the latest slate of series they're set to distribute from Sentai Filmworks. The list includes titles like He Is My Master and Clannad: After Story -- things people have been waiting for, especially He Is My Master, which Del Rey has been publishing the manga to for a while.

The full list of titles includes:

Clannad: After Story
Ghost Hound
He Is My Master
Papotan
Little Snow Fairy Sugar
Fistful of Fuku (live action film)
Zombie Self-Defense Force (live action film)

Some of these -- namely Papotan and Little Snow Fairy Sugar -- are rescues from Geneon. I'm thinking I should finally give Clannad a try, just so I can say I've sat through it. Oh, and He Is My Master is an easy buy for me. Any of these titles get you readers excited? I can only assume Zombie Self-Defense Force is.

Absurdly excited for He Is My Master here too. One title I never understood why it wasn't licensed sooner.

Samurai Will

Those live action movies aren't worth seeing, I'm jaded. See Bio-Zombie instead or Shaolin Versus Evil Dead 1. Does anyone think Comic King (Live Action) is anything like Comic Party? I love them both.

Since they're Sentai that means they arn't dubbed. I don't thing it's fair for me to pay those prices for subtitles only. Otherwise I would be interestined in he is my master (though only during a discount even then cuz i dont find it all THAT great), and clannad id instant buy if had dub options.

Call me a hater, but I can't watch anything ecchi. I absolutely hate how some animes trades a good story or at least making sense for cheap panty-shots or boobs that are bigger than a basketball...

Lolwut? Zombie Self Defense force, really? I'd recommend seeing that movie purely for the large amount of anti-america propaganda in the beginning and throughout the movie. I hope some people go a-ragin'

If you don't go into Zombie Self Defense Force thinking it will be some serious epic zombie action you're set up for a fun time. It was pretty funny.

I adore both so hard it hurts. Love both of these

Neat, He is my Master is finally getting dubbed. I remember watching that series a few years ago & enjoyed it. Now I just need to continue the manga by buying volume 3.

Glad to see Clannad: After Story is coming out. It was hard waiting for it since I fell in love with the series when I got the DVDs earlier this year. Probably end up getting He Is My Master too.

I enjoyed Ghost Hound. Slow at times, but still was interesting.

@Zonic505 at this time, at least the October solicitations versions, Sentai Filmworks and ADV will be releasing it as English subtitle release, like most of their releases lately. My guess is they won't be dubbing any of their pick ups until the either they get a major acquisition where the value of a dub expands the consumer base enough, or at least until the retail market starts to get healthier again.

As a huge dub fan I'm disappointed by the decline of the Anime market myself (the last 2 years have been very difficult). Hopefully things improve next year.

Myself though I'm really looking forward to Ghost Hound.

Ghost Hound is the stand out of this list. It's amazing, though it does lose some momentum in the last few episodes. Otherwise, one of the best shows of the past few years.

Burd

Ghost Hound! Fantastic! I NEVER thought I'd see that show get licensed!

Rewarp

Clannad. Yay!
