The new release date (for the first episode) is January 25. The whole thing is slated to take three years, by the way. (Update from 2008: HAH.)

Yes, that’s right – the OVA has been turned into a CD of holiday songs, just in time to buy a copy for all the special people on your list. A sample of the songs they’ll get…

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the screaming aircraft sing
Run, for death is forthcoming
War on Earth, in which one child
Stood, his gun in hand, and smiled

We Three Kings
We two guns of Alucard are
Good for forcing elevator doors
Locked and loaded; if he’s goaded
We’ll be in use for sure

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Seras the blue-eyed vampire
Had two very giant guns
And if you ever see them
You should just shut up and run

God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen
Good fighting, merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, this scene has to fill
The whole of Volume Eight

Frosty The Snowman
Rip Van the Huntress
Was a jolly, happy soul
With some magic bullets,
a freckled nose,
and a yellow parasol

O Holy Night
O toasty night
THe background’s brightly burning
it is the scene
Of our dear Pip’s debut

Deck The Halls
Drop the bombs on London, England
Fa la la la la, la la, la, la
‘Tis the time of Nazis singing
Fa la la la la, la la, la, la

Joy To The World
Joy to the world!
The OVA’s come.
Let fans receive their–
