I'm not so sure about that last line. I've been under the impression from interviews I've read with ADV employees (including Matt Greenfield) that the "AD" in "ADV" is a closely-guarded secret (either purposefully or as an elaborate company inside joke). Could be wrong. Don't follow the con circuit as much as I'd like.

I'm sure. I own a lot of early ADV stuff. The whole "closely guarded secret" shtick got its start on the con circuit some years back, at a point in time when most in attendance were not old enough to have consumed anime during the days of $40 VHS tapes. It's cute, but the company did indeed get its start as "Animation Dubbing Vision", and it's not hard to see why they would want to distance themselves from that name. - Tzaquiel 14:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
