Lupin the Third vs. Detective Conan: The Movie
Description: They say it takes a thief to catch a thief, but the world's greatest detective begs to differ! An unknown enemy has kidnapped Fujiko, and the only way for Lupin to save her is by stealing a certain jewel. Meanwhile, Fujiko isn't the only one in danger, as a popular Italian singer receives a note that promises to take his life. It's up to Conan Edogawa to get to the bottom of the mystery, but these two tales have more in common than it might seem! Who is really playing who, and who will come out ahead of the game?
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Kodocha: The Complete First Series
Description: 11-year-old Sana Kurata is a famous child actress with a hit TV show and enough energy to power a city. But her school life isn't going so well. Class has been ground to a halt by problem child Akito Hayama and his gang of boys. Sana declares war on Hayama and his minions... but her remarkably dumb attacks have no effect! Soon she finds that Hayama's problems run far deeper than she ever expected. Can she help fix his broken family? Will Sana's novelist mother ever finish her manuscript? Can her young manager ever figure out his life? And what, exactly, IS that weird white bat that keeps popping up with his opinions? Find out in the entire first series of Kodocha, on SDBD Blu-ray for the first time in North America! This collection contains all 51 episodes of the first series in standard definition, with the original Japanese language and English subtitles, and the English dub!

Urusei Yatsura Movie 1: Only You
Description: Love, eleven years in the making… not that he remembers!
Invitations sprinkled throughout the city tell of the wedding set to occur soon, between bride Elle and groom… Ataru Moroboshi?! Doubt swells as word spreads across the town. Who is Elle, and why would she want to marry someone like Ataru? The funny thing is, not even Ataru knows who his bride-to-be is! The secret lies in an afternoon of play eleven years ago, when Ataru stepped on a girl's shadow. And while Ataru might have forgotten about her, Elle remembers- uh, something anyway.
She's definitely here for romantic reasons, which assuredly have nothing to do with a garden full of handsome, frozen men! Will any of that even matter, though, with Lum on the rampage? Witness the directorial debut of acclaimed animation master Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell and Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer) in this can't-miss Urusei Yatsura adventure!

Z/X: Ignition
Description: Asuka Tennoji's life looks normal on the outside. Living in Kobe, Japan, the hardest thing he has to deal with is balancing school with working at a restaurant and taking care of his sick mother. With such a peaceful life, it's easy to forget that outside of Kobe, portals to another world have swallowed up major cities and plunged most of Earth into chaos! Called "Black Points," these portals allow beings of immense power, referred to as "Zillions of Enemy X" or Z/X, to invade Earth. The Z/X use Earth as a battleground to wage a war between each of their worlds- -White, Red, Green, Blue, and Black--where it isn't just survival at stake, but their world's very existence!
Earth, too, finds itself caught in this struggle, and the only weapon they have to defend themselves is the Card Device: a technology that allows humanity to fight fire with fire by allowing them to capture and control Z/X! With Kobe being one of the last places on Earth where you could forget the conflict with the Z/X, Asuka thought he was safe. But his peaceful life turns upside down when he meets a mysterious girl called the Dragon's Priestess, who claims she has chosen him, and grants him a Card Device!

Project A-Ko
Description: FOR THESE THREE HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS REPELLING AN ALIEN INVASION IS AS EASY AS A-B-C!
On a splendid morning, an effervescently cheerful teenaged schoolgirl named A-ko sets off for school with her delightfully ditzy friend, C-ko. The duo are students in a marvelous futuristic city, but A-ko is about to run afoul of the wealthy and powerful B-ko, a young lady used to getting everything she wants—and what she wants is C-ko! Also, a vast and powerful alien fleet is about to touch down in Graviton City, and they're after something, too. Fortunately for us, A-ko's no ordinary schoolgirl—she's got super powers of her own!
An all-star squad of the anime world's greatest talents collaborated on Project A-ko, led by director Katsuhiko Nishijima (Agent Aika, Najica Blitz Tactics) and character designer Yuji Moriyama (Robot Carnival, Geobreeders). Discotek is bursting with pride to present this beloved anime classic in high-definition for the very first time anywhere, along with a treasure trove of features so hefty that A-ko herself might struggle to lift it.
