Area 88 TV Complete collection DVD
Shin Kazama is a gifted pilot with a bright future, a beautiful fiancee and a job with a prestigious airline - until a treacherous act of betrayal rips his world apart and sends him into the barren desert of the war-torn Kingdom of Aslan. With escape only meaning death, he must now use his superior skills to become a cold-blooded aerial killer; and with every kill, he paints a trail of blood in the sky back to the life that was stolen from him. Area 88 pushes the boundaries of animation to the limits with a visual beauty that is rarely accomplished. You can almost feel the jet wash on the desert wind.
This is Area 88. In the desert the souls of men are either consumed by the fire or reborn from the ashes.

Mafia goons are doing their best to whack each other on the mean streets of the Big Apple, and hot lead is punching holes in the walls of a cross-country train called the Flying Pussyfoot. But this caper ain't about a simple gangland feud or a train heist.

Guy Double target DVD
At long last... The original adult anime classic returns!

Guy. He's big, he's bad, and when he's aroused, he's nearly eighteen feet tall! But if you think Guy is bad news, just keep your eye on his partner Raina, a red-headed homicidal sex bomb with only one thing on her mind: getting out of whatever nasty situation she and Guy have managed to get themselves into with her gorgeous hide intact! (and that's not easy when you lose your clothes as often as she does!) Between the two of them, they're the dirtiest pair of soldiers of fortune to ever hit the space ways, not to mention an interstellar-class menace to every civilized planet! But what do Guy and Raina care? They hang around the uncivilized planets, anyway. After all, when you're a cool looking dude who just happens to turn into an eighteen foot tall blue monster and an over-sexed juvenile delinquent who outgrew the "juvenile" about three bra sizes back, it's not as if you're going to waste your time sipping tea and eating crumpets. Not when you're busy just trying to stay alive...

This deluxe DVD contains two complete Guy adventures!

Lucky star vol 06 DVD
Hi Lucky Star fans, your friendly assistant Minoru Shiraishi here! Our senior friends and I are about to leave for our class trip, so hurry up or you'll miss the bus! While the purpose of our trip is cultural education, the real fun comes for some people during our free time when we can choose the sites we want to explore. What's even better are the things that happen back at the hotel, like that passionate confession of love that you never saw coming! Isn't that right, Kagami?
Unfortunately after our trip is over we have a boatload of work ahead of us - the college entrance exams, the annual cultural festival and then school is finally over! Luckily, there are now plenty of us to spread the work around, come up with fresh ideas, and use our... well, many unique talents the way only cheerleaders can! We'll have to do our best to take full advantage of the time we have left, and hopefully create some unforgettable memories with our friends, so I hope you can join us!
