Android Kikaider 01
The world is thrust into peril when the villainous Hakaider emerges from the scrapheap with an army built in his own image! His first target? Akira, a young amnesiac who harbors a powerful secret! In response, a powerful new android emerges from his stone slumber—Kikaider 01! Programmed to protect Akira, this solar-powered hero finds him- self on the run while fighting off Hakaider's deadly duplicates! However, the mechanical maniac is just one of many shadowy foes lingering over the horizon...
Shotaro Ishinomori's (Kamen Rider, Cyborg 009) second two-toned hero cruises onto Blu- ray for the first time in North America! This complete collection includes all 46 episodes of Kikaider 01's explosive adventures—presented in standard definition with the original Japanese language and English subtitles!
STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 25.
The Happiness of the Katakuris
It wasn't all that long ago that the Katakuris moved out to the sticks with dreams of running a beautiful bed and breakfast along the highway. Unfortunately for them, that highway never came. With their morale at rock bottom, the eccentric family prays to add just one name to the guestbook! But when customers finally start rolling in, they won't stop keeling over! And instead of going to the cops, the Katakuris find themselves doing a strange song and dance to keep anyone from finding out!
Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Gerardmer Film Festival, Takashi Miike's (Audition, Ichi the Killer) viscerally surreal horror musical returns on Blu-ray - jam packed with a whole chorus of special features! Presented in the original Japanese language with English subtitles!
STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 25.
Galaxy Express 999: The TV Series Complete Collection
After witnessing the death of his mother and being left for dead at the hands of Count Mecha, ten-year old Tetsuro Hoshino is awakened by a mysterious woman, Maetel. In exchange for only his company, Maetel offers him the ride of his life on the Galaxy Express 999. It is said that those who travel aboard the legendary train to the end of the line can receive a free mechanical body and with it, immortality.
Impoverished and alone, Tetsuro leaps at the opportunity and joins Maetel on a quest that will span the cosmos. As the Galaxy Express 999 makes its way across our solar system and beyond, Tetsuro is drawn deeper into a dangerous universe where peril lurks at every stop! Follow Tetsuro and Maetel's incredible journey through a sea of stars in this complete collection of all 113 episodes of the classic TV Series!

Hajime no Ippo: The Fighting! - Complete Collection
Whether it's making friends or standing up to his bullies, Ippo's always been on the backstep. However, the shy schoolboy's fortunes start changing when a brutal beating lands him in the middle of a bustling boxing gym! After realizing that he'd been saved by a boxing champ, Ippo falls hard and fast for the sport—vowing to one day go the distance! And while this rookie has a long road ahead of him, who knows just how far he'll go once he takes the first step forward!
MADHOUSE (Ninja Scroll, Frieren) and the Trigun duo of Director Satoshi Nishimura and Composer Tsuneo Imahori go for the knockout in this beloved boxing classic! This complete collection includes all 76 episodes of the TV series PLUS the Champion Road OVA and Mashiba vs. Kimura Special! Presented in the original Japanese language with English subtitles alongside the English and Spanish dubs!
