So, I've heard friends and readers refer to ADV as being more or less out of the game for a while now-- and just recently I had occasion to discover that ADV actually did release a brand-new anime amidst all the repackagings of past titles: Koharu Biyori, or Indian Summer, a romantic comedy ecchi anime. Naturally, I ran right out to pick up the DVD so I could tell you how it is.
If you can't watch the video, here's the quick sum-up: a great choice for fans of ecchi romantic comedies along the lines of Chobits and Mahoromatic, and/or people with cosplay fetishes. It's a very bare-bones release, though, so you may want to try and find it for a discount, or try to convince ADV to run it on the Anime Network.
And while I'm at it, a piece of news that fell by the wayside until reader Paploo mentioned it in the comments: ADV picked up the original Appleseed movie earlier this month, a rescue from Geneon.
So the next time you hear someone say that ADV is dead, defunct, or not operating-- correct them. Tell 'em I sent you.

@Adevanzo: They played Koharu Biyori for free on my OnDemand. I guess it differs per provider/region.
Protip: When using DVD footage in a video Gia, be sure to "deinterlace" the video when you convert it for your video editor to use. If you're using virtualdubmod, just go to video / filters / add / deinterlace. The default option should work fine.
(And if I'm coming across as being a smartass here for saying something you already knew then I apologize)
Maybe they'll get a blue ray release.
