Memories
Episode 1: Magnetic Rose
Alone on a mysterious ship in deepest space, she waits. Once a beloved diva, she is now nothing more than memories.
And for unsuspecting travelers that respond to her beacon, she will be their undoing.
Episode 2: Stink Bomb
A junior scientist gets the flu, and decides to try out some newly developed pills. But he takes the wrong ones, turning him into a walking, talking, and exceptionally clueless weapon of mass destruction.
Episode 3: Cannon Fodder
A day in the life of a small family in a big city. In this city, there is only war. There are no dreams, there is only labor. And there is no god, only a gigantic cannon.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Description: Who says playing video games doesn't prepare you for life?
In the far future, the Moon and Mars have become dumping grounds for Earth's toxic waste and criminals, and the criminal settlers on the moon have started an armed rebellion, threatening their Earthbound captors. None of that that matters much to Takashi Katori, who just wants to play computer games with his friend from America, Olivia Lawrence. Their favorite is a fighting robot game, where Takashi's Laserion mecha can't be beat. But when a scientific experiment causes the robot to materialize into reality, Takashi learns that he must pilot the Laserion to protect Earth from the criminals invading from space! Video Warrior Laserion TV Series contains episodes 1-45 of the anime directed by Kozo Morishita in standard definition on a Blu-ray disc.
Nyanbo!: The Complete Series
Description: They're not cats, they came from outer space!
Humans can't see them. They resemble cats, but they aren't cats. A somewhat mysterious group of friends, they are the Nyanbo! A spin-off from author Kiyohiko Azuma's Yotsuba&! manga, Nyanbo! follows Tora, his sister Kotora, and their friends Shiro, Kuro and Mike as they inhabit our world while they reassemble their UFO to return home.
Dear Brother
Description: It's Nanako's first day at Seiran Academy, a prestigious all-girl's high school famous for its exclusive and elegant "Sorority." Only ten members will be accepted this year, and competition is fierce! Despite seeming fairly unremarkable on the surface, Nanako is selected as a member – instantly making her a target for her jealous and angry classmates. But the bullying doesn't stop Nanako from forming friendships with the three most popular students, and even falling in love. Reuniting Lady Oscar author Riyoko Ikeda with legendary director Osamu Dezaki, Dear Brother is an enduring melodrama that's getting rediscovered by a new generation of anime fans. Dear Brother TV Series contains episodes 1-39 of the anime directed by Osamu Dezaki.
Lady Oscar: The Rose of Versailles - Collection 2
Description: Liberté, égalité, fraternité... The fires of Revolution are coming Since making the choice to put on the military uniform, Oscar has watched over Marie Antoinette and seen much. The pettiness borne of royal ego, the strife wrought from class divisions, and most personally, the stress put on a young girl, given to rulership too soon. As France moves ever closer to revolution, Oscar protects the Queen from harm, but cannot look away from the encroaching darkness outside the walls. When the fire is lit, which side will Oscar choose? Lady Oscar: The Rose of Versailles Collection 2 contains episodes 21-40 of the anime directed by Osamu Dezaki.
