FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fanboy Entertainment To Publish Kia Asamiya's MOBIUS KLEIN
New York, NY - Fanboy Entertainment is pleased to announce that they will begin publishing Kia Asamiya's Mobius Klein, the prequel to the hit manga and anime series Silent Mobius, in January 2001. The release of Mobius Klein also marks the launch of Fanboy Entertainment's new translated manga line.
"As a big fan of the Kia Asamiya's Silent Mobius manga and anime series', I feel blessed that we were able to acquire the rights to publish its prequel, Mobius Klein.", remarked Fanboy Entertainment's C.B. Cebulski. "Our partnership with Mr. Asamiya's STUDIO TRON continues to strengthen and grow and I think Mr. Asamiya's decision to bring Mobius Klein to Fanboy is a sign of his faith and belief in us."
"Over the years, as the Silent Mobius story and world expanded, fans always had questions about the pasts of certain characters, settings and plot points. With each issue, the mysteries grew and I knew I had to one day go back and explain some of the back story to make the present storyline coherent.", explained Mr. Asamiya. "With the Silent Mobius manga continuing monthly from Viz and the anime series now being released in English from Bandai, I felt now was the perfect time to have Mobius Klein, the Silent Mobius prequel, translated and published in English.", he continued. "With Fanboy's belief in quality and their commitment to upholding the integrity of the original story and art, I was more than happy to work with them to help bring Mobius Klein to the international English audiences. Hopefully now more of Silent Mobius will start making sense.", he joked.
In order to avoid common reprinted manga problems such as moray patterns, dark reproduction, and blurred screentones and to help insure near perfect print quality, Mr. Asamiya will be allowing Fanboy access to his original Mobius Klein artwork. "This is a great step in the right direction for manga reproduction in my opinion.", Cebulski commented. "I have complained endlessly in the past about poor print quality due to the fact that inadequate source material is usually never provided. We're honored Mr. Asamiya is allowing us to use his original artwork to create the English language versions of Moius Klein. We will now be able to reproduce his detailed lines and intricate screentone work exactly as it was seen in the original Japanese versions. No more muddy panels and blurred lines like some of his past works have suffered here. I think the fans will be happy with what they see."
Mobius Klein will be an eight issue mini-series beginning in January 2001, Each issue will be black and white, 32 pages in length and cost $2.95. Here is how Fanboy Entertainment describes the series:
From the mind and pen of Kia Asamiya! This is where Silent Mobius all began. Mobius Klein is a prequel, telling the tales of the events that took place before the current Silent Mobius storyline. Who are the Lucifer Hawks? How did they escape Nemesis and end up on Earth? Just who was Gigelf Liquer? Why does Katsumi still have to bear the curse of her father's actions? And who is the mysterious woman in black leather that keeps popping up in the shadows? Look no further manga fans, as you will find all the answers right here!
In the premiere issue of Mobius Klein, we meet Gigelf Liquer, Katsumi's father and magician extraordinaire. As he travels to Tokyo for a meeting of the Earth's most powerful wizards, he is attacked at the airport by his ex-assistant, Ganossa Maxmillian. Having dabbled in the Dark Arts, Ganosa has turned to the ways of evil and seeks to teach his ex-master a lesson. Can Gigelf's skill and experience overcome Ganosa's newfound power and rage? And what effect will this battle have on the city and denizens of Tokyo?
A beautiful new manga masterpiece from Kia Asamiya, the man who brought us the original Silent Mobius, Nadesico, Dark Angel and Steam Detectives! Full color cover by Kia Asamiya.

According to him Nick was interested in possibly producing in-house projects with anime inspired themes, he added a great number of the animators there were anime fans. Mr. Sirabella was of a different opinion, according to him Nick may have some anime-related plans in the works but could not elaborate.
- At the Toonami panel, the representitive mentioned the network is considering showing considerably more mature non-anime animation on the network in a late night timeslot.
