Orphen Second Season to come out in December?

[dheu]

I was idly searching Anime on Dvd for upcoming releases, and I saw this line:

Orphen II Vol. #1 ----- ADV Films ---- 100 min. ---- 1/6 ---- 29.98 ---- 12/09/2003

Does this mean what I think it means? Is the second season really coming out in December? I searched the ADV website, and of course found nothing. Does anyone happen to have some reliable information on this?

Sweet, I hope it's true. Even if I have to wait a few months until Australia gets its grubby little hands on it.

But again they call it Orphen II. I think that Revenge sounds much better.

ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE FOR ORPHEN SEASON TWO: REVENGE

FIRST VOLUME OF THRILLING ANIME FANTASY SERIES' SECOND SEASON AVAILABLE DECEMBER 9, 2003

HOUSTON, October 13, 2003-ADV Films today announced a December 9, 2003 release date for the first volume of Orphen Season Two: Revenge. The initial volume of the series' sequel picks up where Season One left off, staying loyal to the stylish animation, exciting action and quick wit that appealed to a wide range of anime fans during the first season.

The Story:
Things are never easy for Orphen and his friends. When Cleao wants to find a little relaxation at the local hot springs, the group ends up finding a lot more than warm water. Why has a young woman been trailing them for months? Who is the mystery man that wishes to destroy Orphen? And can a magic lake really make a wish come true?

Orphen Season Two: Revenge, Volume One (SRP $29.98) is a DVD-only release, including four complete episodes. In both English 2.0- and Japanese 2.0-language versions, and English subtitles. DVD extras include: clean opening and closing animation; production sketches; bloopers; and ADV previews.

So this means July for Australia... But oh well this is still good news. And the referred to it as Revenge. So hopefully this means no "Orphen II" title.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new season. If it's anything like the last, it should be very good. :)
