After being bitten by the vampire Nazuna while wandering late at night, insomniac student Ko Yamori unhappily learns that he's NOT becoming a vampire himself. Apparently, if you're bitten by a vampire that you're not in love with, you just get a bloodthirsty friend instead of a supernatural blood connection.
But being vamped is one of the few things to ever intrigue Ko, so he makes it his goal to fall in love with Nazuna. Of course, Ko's friends aren't thrilled with his new vampiric ambitions, and it's not even clear if Nazuna will bite on the offer should Ko try to answer the CALL OF THE NIGHT!

Putting schoolgirls in vintage military tanks and letting them run amok on a battlefield may sound completely crazy, but that's Tankery, the addictive sport/history lesson/free-for-all that's exploding at schools across Japan!
Except at Oarai Academy, which is why Miho Nishizumi chose to hide there after drawing her "gun-fu" legend Mother's ire. Then Oarai is caught up in a Tankery competition to save the school, and the resulting arms build-up requires Miho to say farewell to her arms!
It's a Tank Heaven for not so little girls as they blow things up in the most delightful ways in the uber-sized and bomb-tastic OVA and TV series collection of GIRLS UND PANZER!

The members of STARISH were already close, but the events of the Maji LOVE LIVE Kingdom concert have bound them into a single unit, harmonizing their lives as well as their voices. Now there's just one thing on all their minds: what's next?
It's a question that no one has an answer to yet, so maybe it's time to take a little break to ponder big thoughts as a group. But, of course, the daily duties of being an Idol can never be completely escaped, and just as they're starting to catch a little R&R, they're summoned back to the Shining Office for something huge in the two film UTANO*PRINCESAMA MAJI LOVE STARISH TOURS collection!
