ADV Films (distributed by SXION 23)

On September 1, 2009, AD Vision (ADV Films parent company) shut down and transferred most of its assets to other companies. Specifically, select portions of their film library was acquired by AEsir Holdings. The servicing and distribution of the assets acquired by AEsir Holdings will be handled by the SXION 23 (Section23 Films) home video distribution company.

Note: Section23 will also be handling the distribution of two other ADV associated licensing companies…Sentai Filmworks and Switchblade Pictures. The latter deals with live-action features, so their releases will not be listed here. See below for Sentai releases.
