Another somewhat light week for U.S. productions, but anime fans have a lot to look forward to.
| Title | Available Formats |
|---|---|
| Action | |
| Hawaii Five O: The First Season |
|
| Time Traveler: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time | |
| Alex: Live action adaptation of the anime film I reviewed around this time last year. | |
| Yakuza Weapon | |
| Alex: So, the premise of this film’s director’s earlier movie, The Machine Girl, was about a High School girl who had her arm cut off by the same villain who killed her parents, having machine guns attached to her arm (and later her leg), so she could go get revenge. This is basically the same thing except with a Yakuza instead of a High School Girl. | |
| Anime | |
| Akira | |
| Alex: I can’t belive I’m writing this – but as Akira was a Bandai release, Akira is going to need to get license rescued. Criterion Collection – are you reading this? Also, I’ve previously reviewed this. | |
| Code Geass: Lelouch of the Revolution R2 (Anime Legends) | |
| Gasaraki – The Complete Series | |
| K-ON Complete Collection (Anime Legends) | |
| Mobile Suit Gundam 00 – Season 1 (Anime Legends) | |
| Alex: Reminder, Bandai Entertainment is stopping operations, so the Gundam DVDs coming out this week (along with Code Geass, Tales of the Abyss & K-ON) will likely not get reprinted. | |

| Blaine: I thought about putting this in the romance category, but I can’t bring myself to do it. My only exposure to the franchise was the first movie, and that didn’t feel like romance to me. Instead, it felt like a teenage girl lusted after her stalker. | |

| Blaine: This release clearly has Quentin Tarantino fans in mind more than CSI fans. This season 5 finale is already out on DVD with that season, but Tarantino fans who don’t otherwise watch CSI could well be interested. | |
| Western | |
| Laramie – The Second Season |
|
I don’t think “Dangerous Liasons” is a “Family” movie.
Maybe the Addams Family watches it together?
Content is now adjusted for families not named “Manson.”
