OUT OF STOCK; NO LONGER AVAILABLE Cromartie High School Volume 2: Hey Dude Described as “hilarious” (Anime Insider), “a winner” (J! Entertainment), and “the sh*t” (Evan Dorkin, Dork), Cromartie High School is a smart, funny, slow-burn comedy that’s totally absurd. Based on the award-winning manga series by Eiji Nonaka (published in the US by ADV Manga), Cromartie High School was produced by Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell) in partnership with TV Tokyo (Final Fantasy: Unlimited). It combines an absurd point of view with offbeat timing and self-referential riffs reminiscent of smart sketch comedies like Mr. Show, Kids In the Hall, or Sealab 2020. “Cromartie has more in common with Late Night with Conan O'Brien than it does with other anime and manga comedy series, and that's precisely what makes it so special (not to mention hilarious)” (Anime Insider). Synopsis: What are the dumbass delinquents of Cromartie to do? Their robot classmate Mechazawa is feeling blue. Seems his little brother keeps getting stepped on, which isn’t surprising since he’s the size of a tea canister. Hayashida’s baseball team might lift his spirits—if they can ever find their way out of the woods and onto an actual field. Add a rival gang with handpuppet leaders and a crowd-phobic hijacker on their class field trip, and you have the sophomore volume of Cromartie High School! A DVD-only release including episodes 9-14, presented in both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles. Extras include cultural notes and comments and the original Japanese TV warning, plus clean opening animation, clean closing animation, and previews of upcoming ADV Films releases.
