|
|||||||||
| Rightstuf | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Comments | Lupin the Third and his crew have to go up against a green-jacketed imitator who just might be as good as the original. The title is derived from the TV show versions of Lupin III being divided by the fans between the more semi-serious “Green” era and the more slap-sticky “Red” Era. | ||||||||

| Amazon | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Rightstuf | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Comments | The translation of the title “Tenchi Muyo” as “No Need For Tenchi” could not be more apt with this series, as Tenchi is Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Show, with Tenchi’s half-brother, Kenshi (introduced in the GXP TV show), in the starring role. The Limited Edition release comes with a slipcase for parts one and two. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “There really isn’t much that’s caught my interest this week. If you haven’t already gotten the Miyazaki re-releases, I’d recommend going with those. Otherwise, on the anime front, I’m putting Daibuster on my to-rent list. On the everything-else front, I’d definitely recommend checking out Little Caesar.” Blaine says, “I’ll see you Alex’s Little Caesar and raise you the entire gangster box set.”
