David Williams is currently an ADR Director for ADV Films as well as the DVD Producer, voice on the Internet and keeper of the Suck Bunny (in name only because the Bunny has a will of his own). Shows he has directed include, Angelic Layer, Pretear, Najica, the original Nuku Nuku OVAs, Dirty Pair and many others. He's produced more DVDs than he can remember and had more skin grafts due to online flamewars than he wants to remember. Being the evil company rep that he is, he's often invited to anime conventions where he can be seen wandering the con with his "What would you do for a DVD badge" giving out DVDs to clever and amusing otaku. And those evil roots go deep, having been an anime fan since before there was an anime industry in the US and with ADV from the beginning when his living room was used as a production facility for their first show, Devil Hunter Yohko. You can follow his antics in the studio on his journal.

Robert and Emily met at a convention called Anime Central and haven't been apart since that day. Emily has always enjoyed manga and anime, but never thought it could be her job. Emily has worked with Robert for over 6 years now. She helps write the web comic "How to Loathe Drawing in the Manga Style" and has just finished writing her first children's book. She enjoys the business side of working for Studio Capsule very much and is grateful that she has an opportunity to work in the comics business.

Robert is no stranger to the anime and manga community. An Indiana born, self-taught artist, who got his first art career break when he sent an eight page short story to comic publisher, Antarctic Press in February of 1990. He has drawn manga inspired art for well over 18 years and has been published nearly all over the world. He has worked for many companies like Playstation Magazine, Marvel, Hasbro, and now his most recent work with Harper Collins Publishing, just to name a few.

The last of a dying breed, Shadow13 continues to defy categorization and push the boundaries of music as we know it. Despite its dark overtones and hard rock roots, the band plays a surprising variety of music ranging from heavy metal, punk, hip-hop and goth-industrial to even a few flamenco and classical style compositions. The musicians themselves are also incredibly well rounded, each plays an assortment of instruments and has a different role in each song.
