Crying Freeman

Crying Freeman (クライング フリーマン Kuraingu Furīman) is a 6 episode anime OVA series based on the manga series written by Kazuo Koike and illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami. It was released on home video in Japan from September 1988 to January 1994.

Dubbing History
Prior to the better known American made dub of the series, Manga UK acquired the series and provided their own dub, covering all 6 episodes on 5 VHS tapes released from 1993-1995.

In the United States, Streamline Pictures acquired the rights to the series, dubbing the first 5 episodes and releasing them on VHS in 1995. However, due to Streamline's problems with its distribution company, Orion Pictures, the sixth episode was not initially covered until the rights were picked up by ADV Films in 2003. While ADV picked up and later redubbed many titles originally dubbed by Streamline, ADV went another route. Rather than redub the series with their own cast, Steve Bulen and Edie Mirman were flown out to Houston to reprise their roles, while the rest of the cast (fortunately, none of which appeared in prior episodes) were voiced by ADV's regular talent pool.
