    RUIN EXPLORERS COMPLETE Published by: Sentai Filmworks Distributed by: Section23 Films Run Time: 100 min. Street Date: 7/2/2013 Format: DVD Language: English & Japanese with English Subtitles SRP: $19.98 Ancient curses, enchanted artifacts and plain old fashioned dungeon diving: that`s what Fam and Ihrie do for a living -- whenever these lovely young ladies can get someone to pay them for it, that is. As two highly trained magic users with slightly faulty spelling abilities (Fam can`t do anything destructive and Ihrie keeps turning into a mouse,) they`re off on a quest for the "Ultimate Power." All they have to do is find three artifacts: the Proof Of Royalty, the Sword of Sargus and the Mirror of Truth. So how hard can it be? Unfortunately, Sorceress Rasha and her muscle-headed partner Migel are on the same quest, as are the mysterious Prince Lyle, the anything for a buck merchant Galuff with his dog Gil, and the sinister magician Rugudurol! And to make this epic odyssey even more odd and complex, it`s not really clear as to exactly which ones are the bad guys! Hold onto your talismans and amulets, because the road to high adventure is about to have a multi-mage pileup, and the fate of all humanity may just be in the hands of two underpaid young women trying to make a living as RUIN EXPLORERS!

The girl`s only hope: Sybil, a freelance journalist who`s out to get the scoop of her life, if she can somehow keep both herself and her subject alive long enough to file a report. But first, she has to remember to put her clothes on! Co-directed by legendary manga master Masamune Shirow (GHOST IN THE SHELL, APPLESEED) and visionary director Hiroyuki Kitakubo (JO JO`s BIZZARRE ADVENTURE, GOLDENBOY,), it`s a tour de force of violence and mayhem on an epic scale as two damsels in distress and two deranged battle robots face off, girl vs. mecha style, in the all-time anime classic BLACK MAGIC M-66!

The odds may seem unfairly stacked in favor of the Amazonian ranks of the queen, doubly supported by her power of writ and assassins. But the incredible wits and assets of the dazzling array of daring damsels willing to risk their gorgeous skins and put their lithesome bodies on line against her, might just expose a few unexpected weaknesses in the queen`s support! It`s the wildest fantasy ever as an unprecedented force of fabulous female fighters... from elven alchemist to half-demon berserker, from undead pirate captain to dragon maid… all come together with the goal of stripping the queen from her throne in QUEEN`S BLADE REBELLION!

But in a world where giant robots called Labors are frequently used for criminal purposes, the boys and girls in blue have to face things that are even bigger and scarier! So when police cadet Noa Izumi comes in to take a pilot aptitude test and instead initiates a high speed chase after a stolen Police Labor, it`s clear that she`s got exactly the right combination of guts, brains and just plain crazy that the Second Special Vehicles Division desperately needs. But fitting into the frequently insane lifestyle of SV2 won`t be easy. She`ll have rivals for the pilot seat of the mech that`s stolen Noa`s heart, and her patrol duties will include herding whales, exorcising hauntings and fighting rogue military units on top of the usual terrorists. On the other hand, she gets to carry the biggest handgun EVER. The wheels of justice keep turning (or, in this case, running on giant metal legs) as SV2 hits the street in MOBILE POLICE PATLABOR TV - COLLECTION 1!

But what Hikari`s never noticed is that he`s actually in love with her! And that`s only the beginning of the ridiculously convoluted web of relationships that ties the elite group of students who go by the name of the Special A together!

If Kaito could remember just what it was he did to earn the undying enmity of Freecell, the Order`s premier card-carrying member, he`d be happy to apologize.
