ADV has announced two new anime acquisitions.  The first is the fantasy story Petite Princess Yucie, in the child/adult (or in this case, adolescent) body-switching genre, in which a 17-year-old has the body of a 10-year-old.  ADV also announced that it has acquired rights to Parasite Dolls, a theatrical film set in the Bubblegum Crisis universe.   Last summer, Urban Vision announced that it was planning a theatrical release for Parasite Dolls (see 'Urban Vision Plans Special Edition of Vampire Hunter D'); Urban Vision did not respond in time for this article. 

 

ADV also announced new merchandise plans for two properties.  A lunch box, playing cards, window cling, four collectible cloisonn? pins, t-shirt, and wall scroll based on Noir are planned.   And a lunchbox, chopsticks, reversible antenna topper, cloisonn?, six magnets, wall scroll, t-shirt, rug, and a plush toy are planned based on Excel Saga.
