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)
"David L. Williams often jokes at some conventions that ADV stands for "Army of Darkness Video" (stated at AnimeExpo NY)." Does not point out the significance of Mr. Williams to the topic, should be made into a Wikilink if the person is the same man as on the David L. Williams. It doesn't say anything on that page about him being into anime, though, and the statement should then be clarified as to how he's relevant to anime. "Conventions" should also be Wikilinked, either to anime conventions or to conventions in general — Raijinili 14:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manga
While there is a manga listed on ADV Manga's website named By the Sword, the link to the article is to another By the Sword (a novel). Please create the manga article and disambiguate. --Geopgeop 17:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Anime Network
just wondering if anyone knows if Dish Network will ever get anime network —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.6.188.49 (talk • contribs) 16:00, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC).
-- They offer some of it through VOD (DiSH On Demand [1]). Look on the bright side, at least you get the 4 hour Syndicated Block of the FUNimation Channel on CoLour TV (It's in the public Access Channels). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.246.208.182 (talk • contribs) 23:15, 9 Sep 2006 (UTC).

[edit] ADV Films Website Hacking by AYT
Would this be considered newsworthy?
yes(24.188.203.181 02:07, 7 May 2006 (UTC))
After the absolutely appalling standards ADV have taken themselves to, what with Mermaid Melody, Saint Seiya, YotsubaTO and all, yes. They most definitely had this coming to them in some shape or form.--Conan-san 08:01, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
It was, it was indeed notable 24.188.203.181 16:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, despite many other websites being victim to the attacks of the hackers, it still feels worthy since somewhat well known sites especially those that are seen or appear on wikipedia, should have a dangerous incident mentioned if it happens, since the fighters/hackers did attack something that was known to many(?) (ex: well known) somehow triggering a necessary mention of sorts. Plus look at Conan's post too. 24.188.203.181 03:43, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Re: Conan's reason, Having it "coming to them" doesn't make the incent noteworthy. Also ADV website itself doesn't appear to be that notable as an entity. So I completely fail to see how the hack is notable. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 13:37, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
I may not understand why, but it somehow remains being a notable event on Wikipedia. Why? that's just how it seemed or seems to work for some reason. 24.188.203.181 16:42, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's not a good enough reason. The section has now been (correctly, IMO) removed by another user. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 16:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Wow just wow, or I can't believe it got removed. 24.188.203.181 02:33, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Completing ADV's titles
Just FYI, I am trying to add a page for all of ADV titles, and I do not know everything about all of them. So please edit freely \o/ Take Care KaorinGirl 02:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
I propose merging Anime Network into this article. The Anime Network is a year old and hasn't progressed past the stub stage. All the information is now present here so I see no reason to keep a separate page. --Squilibob 02:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose — The Anime Network page warrants its own page. While a discussion of it belongs on the A.D. Vision page, there is enough information to warrant the separate subject. If each and every long-term stub page were unceremoniously yanked like this, there wouldn't be anything left to work on, on WP. --Mhking 02:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose — Tv channels articles can clog up other articles and should have their own articles.
- Oppose as well. It's better for it to have its own main article article. dposse 23:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Split / Merge
I agree that there should be an article including the parent company of ADVision with listings for its sub groups and think this page should continue to act as that page. However I feel it is important that ADV Films has its own article. The company itself is noteworthy enough and has more that enough information to warrant it. Furthermore it would allow this new article to also hold the ADV releases listings as well as improving this to include foreign territories like the United Kingdom which has its own branch of ADV.
