SYNOPSIS: Are some secrets best kept with the dead? For most
Shigofumi Mail Carriers, charged with delivering messages from the
recently departed to those left behind, the question is purely
rhetorical as most Carriers are dead themselves and past the point of
caring about the still breathing. The solemn girl known as Fumika,
however, is all too aware of the mortal perspective, for she is still
aging: an indicator that she is somehow, mysteriously, still alive.
Yet, neither Fumika's own personal tragedy nor the knowledge that her
mail may be a mixed blessing at best will stay her grim determination to
make her morbid rounds. Though the postal scales of fate may be
eternally shifted, Fumika will make sure each posthumous posting from
the ultimate dead letter office reaches its intended target, even when
there's deadly postage due! Neither rain nor sleet nor even death will
stop the messages from beyond from coming in SHIGOFUMI - THE COMPLETE
COLLECTION!

SYNOPSIS: Before you make a deal with a girl in a mirror, reflect
seriously on the source of the offer. Ichika Tachibana fails to take
this advice in order to retrieve a lost charm, and as a result suddenly
ends up with the magical forces of a Djinn at her command. Sounds like a
good deal, right? Wrong. At first things seem wondrous, with her new
friend Manatsu assisting her via text messages and the occasional spell;
but as her powers grow, Ichika's situation quickly goes from magical to
nightmarish, and she finds herself drawn into an ever expanding web of
deceptions, lies and increasingly dangerous situations. For what
she's really done is subjected herself to seeing mankind as the Djinn
see them. Unfortunately, they don't seem to place a high value on human
life. Not all fairy tales are for children as small charms lead to
deadly conclusions in UTA-KATA- THE COMPLETE SERIES!

SYNOPSIS: 1925 - six years since the end of the Great War, four
years since women were allowed to join political associations and one
year since Emperor Hirohito assumed the throne. Only thirteen years
after the death of the Meiji Emperor, Japan is a nation re-inventing
itself, swept by wave after wave of wars, disasters and political
unrest. War looms in China, males over the age of 24 are about to
receive the right to vote and a strange new type of school uniform
called the "sailor suit" is being introduced. But at least the national
pastime, baseball, remains bound by tradition, the exclusive realm of
men and boys. Until now. When a local player arrogantly states that
girls should become housewives instead of going to school, teenage
firebrands Koume and Akiko respond by forming their own baseball team.
It's shocking. It's scandalous. And yet, in a nation in which almost
anything seems suddenly possible, it may just be the start of something
greater than any nine girls can imagine. It's not just a game, its
history in the making in TAISHO BASEBALL GIRLS - COMPLETE COLLECTION!

Okay, make that a LOT abnormal, but they DO specialize in disposing of things that most people don't even believe exist. Run by the visually delicious and even more avaricious Reiko Mikami, and aided by the very perverted (but also very loyal) Tadao Yokoshima, they'll take any case that pays. And Tadao will do anything that might let him sneak a peek at Reiko's magnificent physique. How unfortunate for him that Reiko basically sees him as cannon-fodder, something that's quite useful when your day to day business involves exorcising oni, yurei, yokai and anything else you might find in The Illustrated Bag of One Hundred Random Ghosts. For the supernatural services where the biggest bangs command the biggest bucks and the unexplained is usually expected, call on the first spectacular collection of GHOST SWEEPER MIKAMI!

GAMERA VS GYAOS / GAMERA VS VIRAS
DOUBLE FEATURES COLLECTOR’S EDITION DVD
DOUBLE FEATURES COLLECTOR’S EDITION DVD
As a competitor to Godzilla in the Sixties, Gamera developed a strong
following in and out of Japan, and with Gamera Vs. Gyaos his most
famous enemy emerged, one that would play a key role in the Gamera
trilogy released in the '90s. Like a giant bat fused with a shark's
head, the laser-spewing Gyaos is discovered in an ancient cave by a
young boy named Eiichi and a reporter named Okabe, whose neglect of the
child in crisis leads to his death. Once Gyaos is unleashed upon Japan,
both Gamera and the country's Self-Defense Forces try to bring down the
flying terror. And that's not going to be an easy feat!
While Gamera and Gamera Vs. Barugon established the colossal
chelonian as both a force to be feared by mankind and a friend to
children everywhere, the giant turtle began to live up to his potential
as a kids hero in later movies, most notably in Gamera Vs. Viras, in
which not only does the oversized turtle race Boy Scouts in the water,
but he must save them from an alien menace that uses his compassion as a
weakness and ultimately mentally manipulates him to destroy parts of
Earth. Once the children free Gamera from his mental slavery, the
aliens' non-human form is revealed, they bond together to form the
squid-like Viras. Then a climactic beachside rumble begins! (And Frankie
and Annette aren't sticking around for one.)
GAMERA VS. GUIRON / GAMERA VS. JIGER
DOUBLE FEATURES COLLECTOR’S EDITON DVD
DOUBLE FEATURES COLLECTOR’S EDITON DVD
Kids take an even more prominent role in Gamera Vs. Guiron as two
star-gazing Japanese tykes get whisked away by a spaceship to a planet
where two "groovy spacegirls" are the sole survivors of a once-superior
civilization. But the seemingly hospitable women have sinister plans in
store, and Gamera comes to save them and battle their rhino-like
guardian Guiron, a formidable beast with a razor-sharp steel blade for a
snout. This is one Gamera movie that needs to have the Japanese version
seen as it features possibly the worst dubbing job in Japanese monster
history. But it's still a camp gem. Space Gyaos makes an appearance,
too!
Our favorite flying turtle gets a female foe in Gamera Vs. Jiger,
which is set around the 1970 World's Fair in Osaka. When scientists
discover a mysterious statue called The Devil's Whistle on a remote
island, they steal it away to show at the Fair, which causes it to
unleash a high-pitched sound that disturbs the Triceratops-like Jiger,
who comes after them to stop the auditory pain she is in. And when she
faces down Gamera, she proves to be a nasty foe, able to shoot quills
from her head and a heat ray that can dissolve entire city blocks, plus
she has a tail stinger that implants eggs into her victims. Gamera
eventually has to cope with a baby Jiger growing inside of him. You've
got to love the lovably twisted Japanese concept of family
entertainment: No holds barred monster smackdowns!
