UTA-KATA COLLECTION 1 Published by: Sentai Filmworks Distributed by: Section23 Films Run Time: 325 min. Street Date: 11/2/2010 Format: DVD Language: Japanese with English Subtitles SRP: $49.98 Before you make a deal with a girl in a mirror, reflect seriously on the source of the offer. Ichika Tachibana fails to take this advice in order to retrieve a lost charm, and as a result suddenly ends up with the magical forces of a Djinn at her command. Sounds like a good deal, right? Wrong. At first things seem wondrous, with her new friend Manatsu assisting her via text messages and the occasional spell; but as her powers grow, Ichika`s situation quickly goes from magical to nightmarish, and she finds herself drawn into an ever expanding web of deceptions, lies and increasingly dangerous situations. For what she`s really done is subjected herself to seeing mankind as the Djinn see them. Unfortunately, they don`t seem to place a high value on human life. Not all fairy tales are for children as small charms lead to deadly conclusions in UTA-KATA- THE COMPLETE SERIES!

TAISHO BASEBALL GIRLS COMPLETE COLLECTION Published by: Sentai Filmworks Distributed by: Section23 Films Run Time: 300 min. Street Date: 11/16/2010 Format: DVD Language: Japanese with English Subtitles SRP: $49.98 1925 - six years since the end of the Great War, four years since women were allowed to join political associations and one year since Emperor Hirohito assumed the throne. Only thirteen years after the death of the Meiji Emperor, Japan is a nation re-inventing itself, swept by wave after wave of wars, disasters and political unrest. War looms in China, males over the age of 24 are about to receive the right to vote and a strange new type of school uniform called the "sailor suit" is being introduced. But at least the national pastime, baseball, remains bound by tradition, the exclusive realm of men and boys. Until now. When a local player arrogantly states that girls should become housewives instead of going to school, teenage firebrands Koume and Akiko respond by forming their own baseball team. It`s shocking. It`s scandalous. And yet, in a nation in which almost anything seems suddenly possible, it may just be the start of something greater than any nine girls can imagine. It`s not just a game, its history in the making in TAISHO BASEBALL GIRLS - COMPLETE COLLECTION!
GHOST SWEEPER MIKAMI COLLECTION 1 Published by: Sentai Filmworks Distributed by: Section23 Films Run Time: 300 min. Street Date: 11/23/2010 Format: DVD Language: Japanese with English Subtitles SRP: $49.98 You say you got a ghost in your prefecture? In Japan that means you need to call Ghost Sweeper Mikami, the paranormal detective agency that`s a little abnormal. Okay, make that a LOT abnormal, but they DO specialize in disposing of things that most people don`t even believe exist. Run by the visually delicious and even more avaricious Reiko Mikami, and aided by the very perverted (but also very loyal) Tadao Yokoshima, they`ll take any case that pays. And Tadao will do anything that might let him sneak a peek at Reiko`s magnificent physique. How unfortunate for him that Reiko basically sees him as cannon-fodder, something that`s quite useful when your day to day business involves exorcising oni, yurei, yokai and anything else you might find in The Illustrated Bag of One Hundred Random Ghosts. For the supernatural services where the biggest bangs command the biggest bucks and the unexplained is usually expected, call on the first spectacular collection of GHOST SWEEPER MIKAMI!
HELL GIRL: THREE VESSELS (SEASON 3) COLLECTION 2 Published by: Sentai Filmworks Distributed by: Section23 Films Run Time: 325 min. Street Date: 11/30/2010 Format: DVD Language: Japanese with English Subtitles SRP: $49.98 Possessed by the spirit of Ai Enma and pulled into the fate of the Hell Girl, Yuzuki has struggled to cope with the terrifying burden. But even as she desperately attempts to maintain her own humanity, she finds the world around her slowly shattering into a terrifying series of riddles. Why has she been drawn into the world of the Hell Correspondence? What is her relationship to Ai? And has her ultimate destiny already been predetermined? As the powers of the Hell Girl continue to grow inside her, Yuzuki`s very existence is now at stake. Who and what is she, really? The shocking secrets of Yuzuki`s past are unlocked, the tragedies of Ai`s are revealed; and the torch of the Hell Girl is passed in the shocking final collection of HELL GIRL - THREE VESSELS.
