Terrifying Girls' High School: Animal Classmates
Description: At Seiwa Academy for Girls, the surface is all prestige with an impressive study abroad program and top-notch sports department. However, beneath the veneer of excellence lies the dangerous and corrupt Black Roses Society, who rule the school with an iron fist. The arrival of five transfer students - Masami, Masae, Shizuko, Kazue, and Aki - sets off a culture clash between female juvenile delinquents, sadistic jocks, and perverted faculty members. Masami, Masae, and Shizuko quickly fall in line with the bad crowd, while Kazue tries to play it safe and earn a scholarship to study abroad. But Aki, a lone wolf and skilled fencer, refuses to tolerate unfair play. In this jungle of a school, these newcomers must navigate the treacherous terrain and fierce classmates. Who will come out on top and who will be devoured by the pack? This film is not for the faint of heart!

Animal Treasure Island
Description: Jim and his mouse friend Gran toll away working as innkeepers. They dream of sailing far away on their own boat. One day, a mysterious fellow appears at the inn and gives them a map. It's the map to Treasure Island. So they decide to make their own boat, and sail away treasure hunting. But it's not as easy as they think when they run into a group of unsavory pirates led by the dastardly Captain Silver. Silver wants the treasure for himself. And it is up to Jim, Gran, and their new friend Kathy, to beat him to it.

Digimon Adventure: Season 1
Description: When seven kids went to camp for the summer, the last thing they expected was to be whisked away to another world, one populated by Digital Monsters! In this strange Digital World, the Chosen Children must unlock the powers within themselves to evolve their Digimon friends into new, more powerful forms and defeat the evil that threatens both worlds! From a battle with the evil Devimon and his Black Gears on File Island, to returning to Tokyo to prevent the vampire lord Vamdemon from finding the eighth member of the Chosen Children, then a return to a darker Digital World and the menacing Dark Masters - it's all here in the complete collection of Digimon Adventure, the hit series that defined the childhoods of anime fans around the world!

Urusei Yatsura: TV Series Collection 02
Description: About a year after the lecherous Ataru Moroboshi saved the world from an alien invasion by rudely grabbing the lovely Lum by her horns, the lovable loons of Tomobiki Town are getting used to having the occasional obnoxious alien around. Those centuries-old curses are still a problem though. As for "earth's savior" himself, Ataru is still skirt-chasing as always—even after a few thousand love-zaps from Lum. Despite hitting on all of her friends, Ataru might be starting to see Lum as more than just a high-voltage thorn in his side. Studio Pierrot (Kimagure Orange Road, Ninja Robot Tobikage) & Director Mamoru Oshii's (Ghost in the Shell, Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer) run on Urusei Yatsura concludes with a mischievous cavalcade of tomfoolery, hearty laughs, and tender moments to remember! The electrifying romantic comedy that defined a generation returns to Blu-ray in this four disc collection containing episodes 55 through 106! Urusei Yatsura— Keeping Tomobiki Town Weird Since 1978!
Technical Specs:
Iria: Zeiram the Animation
Description: As an apprentice Hunter, Iria can't wait until she can get the fun jobs like her big brother (and top Hunter), Gren. In fact, he's just got a new one: get to a ship adrift in space and evacuate crew, passengers, and cargo. It sounds fun enough to tag along, uninvited... only, it goes wrong from the start. Evading an assassination attempt from the very people that hired them, they make it to the job site, and find it's a bloody one. The crew is dead, the passengers are terrified, and the cargo? Well, that moved itself…
Iria encounters the so-called cargo, and it's Zeiram, a creature said to be immortal. The terrifying monster turns Iria's life upside down, as she barely manages to escape from the ship with her life. Gren, however, is not so lucky. Iria finds herself caught in a conspiracy to cover up the events of that day, and with every step she takes, she finds Zeiram right behind her. Why is it so interested in her? Does it simply want to kill her, or is there something more beneath its black carapace? It's time for "Killing Dimension Action" in Iria: Zeiram the Animation, complete and remastered with all six OVA episodes!
