New Release Tuesday – Summon the Beasts Again

January 29, 2013 by Funimation

Happy New Release Tuesday! Today we’ve got the hilarious second season of Baka and Test on BD/DVD Combo. This one might even be funnier than the first. For those of you unfamiliar with this series, it’s kind of like academic Pokemon.

synopsis:
Yoshii’s a good-hearted goofball enrolled at a school where students settle their differences by summoning Avatars, pint-sized stand-ins with battle powers based on academic ability. That “academic ability” part is bad news for idiotic Yoshii – he’s stuck in lowly Class F with the slackers. If these misfits want to escape their dump of a classroom and earn some respect, they’ll have to fight their way up the ranks and take on Class A, the brightest students on campus. It’s going to be tough, that’s for sure. But once the underachievers of Class F get motivated, they don’t give up – and Yoshii can’t even spell surrender!

And now the trailer!

But, if your sense of humor leans more toward a certain rude, crude tiny tot, then you’ll be pleased to know that you can now get the complete third season of Shin-Chan on DVD.

New Release Tuesday – Food, Blood, and Magic

January 22, 2013 by Funimation

We’ve got quite a full New Release Tuesday for you today full of food, blood, and magic: Toriko Part One on DVD, Blood-C on BD/DVD Combo, Shakugan no Shana the Movie on BD/DVD Combo, and Shakugan no Shana OVA series on BD/DVD Combo.

Get your forks and knives ready, if you haven’t seen Toriko you’re in for one delicious ride. We’ve currently working on an epic video where Ian Sinclair (voice of Toriko) cooks and eats your epic meals. So, stay tuned for that in the near future!

synopsis:
Get ready for the next great anime adventure from TOEI, the legendary force behind Dragon Ball Z and One Piece!

Welcome to the Gourmet Age, a time when the world is full of deliciously deadly ingredients that the wealthiest appetites in existence can’t wait to devour. But only a mighty masticating mercenary like Toriko can track down the rarest animals on the planet and put them on a plate! This gluttonous gourmet hunter is one of the four Legendary Kings, superhuman warriors born to battle the likes of Troll Kongs, Gararagators, and Devil Pythons! Accompanied by his loyal Battle Wolf and the promising young chef Komatsu, Toriko will circle the globe in search of the mouth-wateringly lethal ingredients that will one day make up his Full Course Menu of Life! The more ferocious the beast – the bigger the feast, but never forget the code of a true gourmet hunter: You gotta eat what you defeat!

And now the trailer!

We’ve also got the release of the ultra gory Blood-C: The Complete Series on BD/DVD Combo. If you’re a fan of CLAMP then you’ll most likely want to pick this one up.

synopsis:
The creators of Blood – the Last Vampire and Blood+ team up with renowned powerhouse CLAMP to inject beauty into a chilling new addition to the Blood line.

Horrifying beasts with a hunger for human flesh prey on the citizens of a quiet town. In moonlit twilight, Saya slays the monsters and returns home drenched in blood. As the attacks increase in frequency and intensity, her enemies relay cryptic messages about a broken contract. Limbs are torn from flesh and skulls are crushed and devoured while the huntress struggles with paralyzing visions and gaping holes in her memory. When the humans Saya promised to protect reveal the sickening truth about her role in the violence, she learns her mission isn’t as clear cut as she thought—and her most sadistic foe of all is so close she can taste it.

And then to complete our New Release Tuesday, we’ve got both Shakugan no Shana the Movieand Shakugan no Shana OVA on BD/DVD Combo.

So, what are you interested in?

English Cast Announcement for Tenchi War on Geminar

January 19, 2013 by Funimation

Fresh out of Ohayo-con, we’ve got the English cast announcement for Tenchi War on Geminar!

synopsis:
Get ready for an adventurous new chapter in the legendary Tenchi franchise – a classic spinoff loaded with interplanetary sex appeal!

Fifteen year old Kenshi Masaki was taken from his home planet, transported to a galaxy far, far away, and captured by a gorgeous princess! This royal beauty quickly claims Kenshi as her personal servant – and lends him out to all the lecherous ladies at her prestigious boarding school. On the rare occasion Kenshi doesn’t have his hands full with a curvaceous coed, he can be found training for the intergalactic mecha battle royale looming on the horizon. Helping the princess save her planet is Kenshi’s ticket home, but losing means he’ll be stuck scrubbing backs in the interstellar sauna for the rest of his life! Every boy should be so lucky.
