*RIGHT STUF, Inc. Acquires/
SPACE ADVENTURE COBRA: The Original TV Series/**
Nozomi Ent. to release classic anime on DVD in late 2013.*


GRIMES, Iowa, Jan. 15, 2013 – Anime producer and distributor *Right
Stuf, Inc.* is excited to announce the acquisition of the original
*/SPACE ADVENTURE COBRA/**television series* from *TMS ENTERTAINMENT
CO., LTD.*

*/Space Adventure Cobra: The Original TV Series/* will be released via
Right Stuf’s *Nozomi Entertainment* as *two DVD sets, *starting
in*late* *2013*, along with *digital distribution*. The upcoming home
video release will mark the first time the anime TV series will be
available to North American audiences.

Additionally, Nozomi Entertainment wants *fans’ questions* for an
upcoming Q&A interview with *Buichi Terasawa*, the creator of /Cobra/.
*Please submit questions,* via the form located at the *official series
site (**_cobra.rightstuf.com_**)*, by *4 p.m. CT on Fri., Feb. 15, 2013.*

Right Stuf’s President and CEO *Shawne Kleckner* said, “/Cobra/ is a
frequently requested title for a reason. Its mix of science fiction,
action and adventure is what attracted so many of us to anime in the
first place, and it is truly a privilege to bring the television series
to North America.”

Deputy Manager of TMS Entertainment USA, Inc. *Katsuki Masai* said,
“The /Cobra/ television series has been immensely popular for years,
but this is the very first time it will be released as DVDs and
digitally in the United States and Canada. It is our wish that North
America’s anime fans enjoy this series as much as sci-fi fans in
Japan have.”

One of Japan’s most influential sci-fi/action series,/Cobra /tells the
story of a far-off future where one man – (literally) armed with a
psycho-gun – and his android companion are all that stand between the
human race and a ruthless criminal organization of space pirates.

/Space Adventure Cobra /is based upon the best-selling/manga/ (comic) by
*Buichi Terasawa* (/Goku: Midnight Eye/), which was originally
serialized in Shueisha’s /Weekly Shonen Jump/ anthology and later
collected into 18 volumes. In addition to the 1980s television
adaptation, it inspired a feature film, two direct-to-video anime series
(2008-2009) and a 2010 anime TV series, as well as three manga sequel
series (also written by Terasawa).

This 31-episode television adaptation of /Cobra /originally aired on
Japanese television, from October 1982 through May 1983. It features
animation by TMS ENTERTAINMENT CO., LTD.,**as well as direction by
*Osamu Dezaki *(/The Rose of Versailles/, /Golgo 13: The Professional/).
