XenoSaga anime licensed by ADV

While I still haven't watched the 12-episode XenoSaga anime, it's nice to know that it has been picked up by a quality licensing company. ADV is among the better licensing companies in the anime industry, and if anyone can do a good job of bringing XenoSaga over to the U.S., it's them.

Here's the ADV description, courtesy of IGN:

"Four thousand years have passed since humans abandoned the planet Earth. Humanity is now on the brink of destruction, hunted down by a vicious alien race known as the Gnosis. The last hope of mankind rests in the hands of scientist Shion Uzuki and her creation KOS-MOS, a battling android with unfathomable capabilities. Shion and her creation are taken in by the crew of the Woglinde, a battleship of the Galaxy Federation. Unbeknownst to the crew, the Woglinde houses the Zohar, a mysterious object that attracts the Gnosis. When the Woglinde is attacked by the Gnosis, KOS-MOS is activated and begins to pursue her own mysterious plans."

IGN also has an exclusive interview with Takao Yoshizawa, producer of the series up on the site. While the interview isn't a very lengthy or revealing affair (especially concerning the ADV release), it's still worth skimming over if you're a XenoSaga fan.
