ZEIRAM: 30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
December 21st marks the blu-ray debut and the three-decade anniversary of Amemiya’s acclaimed Zeiram! Two happy-go-lucky electricians go out on a job expecting it will be just like any other work day only to find themselves suddenly zapped into a violent virtual reality war zone! The Zone is an alternate dimension created by Iria, a cute but badass bounty hunter, and Bob, her super-brainy computer side-kick, to capture and destroy Zeiram, an evil alien creature! Soon, the bumbling electricians join forces with Iria to battle Zeiram in this epic sci-fi adventure created and directed by renowned character and weapon designer Keita Amemiya (MOON OVER TAO, MECHANICAL VIOLATOR HAKAIDER) and starring Yuko Moriyama (KUNOICHI LADY NINJA). Fully loaded with extras including interviews, behind-the-scenes and trailers! (100 mins.)
GRENADIER: COMPLETE COLLECTION (All 12 Episodes!)
First time on blu-ray! During the time of the Great Japanese Civil War, the faithful samurai Yairo Torajima finds himself surrounded by an enemy army and certain death. At the moment of his impending doom, the bountiful Rushuna appears and rescues him with nothing more than an enchanting smile and a high-caliber revolver! Together, Yajiro and Rushuna challenge and defeat countless formidable enemies with his swift sword and her uncanny talent for reloading on the bounce! Now, Yajiro joins Rushuna on a mission that is crucial to the survival of humankind- the search for the solution to permanently end all wars and establish world peace for eternity! (300 mins.)
VERY PRIVATE LESSON
First time on blu-ray! Tairaku is a teacher at a local high school and he has a crush on Ms. Satsuki, a fellow teacher whom he hopes to marry someday. Then he meets Aya Shirakaba, whom he makes such a favorable impression upon that she transfers into his class. Unfortunately, Aya’s father is a very wealthy and powerful yakuza boss, who entrusts Tairaku to keep his daughter safe and chaste—or else! To make Tairaku’s job even more difficult, he must fend off the hordes of Aya’s male and female admirers and struggle to resist Aya’s blatant passes at him! Now, Tairaku is in a world of trouble! (80 mins.)
