With the fourth iteration/third reboot of The Mummy coming up soon, we’ve got a lot of Universal’s classic horror/action franchises getting releases. In fact, some of those collections have two seemingly identical listings with two different product identifications, so I listed both.

Comments | Anime series based on a currently ongoing crime manga with some light speculative fiction elements. As a warning, the anime series ends on a cliffhanger, and the studio that released it has closed it’s doors, so it’s probably not getting a sequel. The series is fairly notable for having a promenant character who is deaf and primarily communicates through signing. The limited edition release comes in a chipboard box, with a metal mint tin similar to one used by one of the characters in the show, and a pair of corkboard coasters for a nightclub featured promenantly in the series. | ||||||||

Comments | Anime series about a 14 year old mad scientist who wants to launch the first mission to the moon (in spite of the fact that we’ve previously launched missions to the moon successfully) and without the use of fossel fuels (in spite of the fact that modern rocketry does not use fossel fuels). I have not seen the show, but I’m assuming the 14-year old’s ignorance of how rocketry works is, in fact, the joke, and isn’t the writer’s ignorance of how rocketry works. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Streets of Fire holds a special place in my heart.” Blaine says, “the Dracula: Complete Legacy Collection with Dracula (1931) and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is great.”
Oh for goodness sake.
Streets of Fire
I like this movie. It’s not great, but it’s better than it has a right to be. It is a dirty city, street level story. Rick Moranis shows up surprisingly, and plays a complete jagoff.
