GRIMES, Iowa, April 17, 2013 – Anime producer and distributor *Right
Stuf, Inc. *and its *Nozomi Entertainment* division are excited to
announce the */PRINCESS KNIGHT, Part 2 /**DVD set* will be available on
*August 6, 2013.

*The Part 2 DVD set will feature *the concluding 26 episodes* of this
classic television series with its *original English-language dub*.
Right Stuf and Nozomi’s two-part home video release will be the _first
time_ the /Princess Knight/ series will be available to North American
audiences on licensed DVD.

*Note:* Due to the availability of materials, these DVD releases will
utilize the edited and cut, broadcast video footage from /Princess
Knight/’s television syndication during the 1960s and 1970s. (Japanese
audio will not be included on these sets because it cannot be synched to
the video.)

Also known as /“Choppy and the Princess,†/the 52-episode /anime/
adaptation of/Princess Knight/ is based upon the best-selling comic
(/manga/) by legendary creator *Osamu Tezuka* (/Astro Boy/, /Kimba The
White Lion/) and features animation from Tezuka’s own *Mushi
Productions*. It originally aired on Japanese television from 1967
through 1968, and its English-language adaptation was syndicated
throughout the United States in the 1970s and 1980s.

In both anime and manga forms, /Princess Knight/ was among the first
titles geared specifically toward a young female (/shoujo/) audience.
The original comic was serialized in Kodansha’s /Shoujo Club/
anthology magazine, from 1953 through 1956, and its sequel series, /Twin
Knight/, was serialized in Kodansha’s/Nakayoshi/ anthology in 1958.
The two collected volumes of the /Princess Knight/ manga are currently
available to North American readers from Vertical, Inc., which plans to
release the sequel series in Summer 2013.

series and to pre-order the DVD sets.

"prince" is actually a girl! As punishment for lying to the people,
Sapphire and the Queen have been locked away in lonely Coffin Tower. But
Sapphire won't give up hope. She's created a new persona for herself –
