We are in the heart of summer and the beginning of a large amount of new FUNimation titles hitting stores. With there being so many new releases in the pipeline, we have decided to create a mega event to promote them all. So we give you the…
How this event will work is that we will have one or two contests each week for upcoming releases before they hit stores. The prize for each contest will be a copy of the product it is promoting. After the event is over we will see which contest had the most entries. Everyone who entered the contest with the most entries will be entered to win the event grand prize – one copy of every product in the event!
For example:
You enter both contests for week one. They both get over 500 entries. You didn’t enter the first contest from week two (clearly you were detained by ninjas) and it gets over 600 entries. If you want to be included in the grand prize drawing you will need to enter another contest and hope that it get’s more than 600 entries.
Here is some other general information about the contest you should know:
*Winners will be chosen at random. There will be one winner per contest. Once you win a contest you can not win another one in this event. Do feel free to keep entering other contests if you do win so you can still have a shot at the grand prize. You will just not be eligible to win later contests.
*The details for each contest will be updated on this blog post the day each event starts. See below for contest schedule. The number of entries and contest winners will be added shortly after each one ends.
*You may enter every contest, but only once. All contests end at 11:59pm Central Time on their end date
*Contests are open to US and Canadian residents, excluding Quebec and Puerto Rico. Click here for official rules.
Our recommendation is to enter as many contests as you can and tell all your friends to as well to help ensure the largest number of entries.
Got all that? Great. Here is the contest schedule for the event. Good luck!

Week Three
High School DxD Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack
Contest Dates: 8/12 – 8/13
A war between heaven and hell is raging on Earth – and a hot mess of hormonal fury is raging in Issei’s pants. The guy is dying to get some action. Which is funny, since his first date ever turns into a winged monster and tries to kill him. Fortunately, ridiculously curvy redhead Rias comes to his rescue. She’s president of The Occult Research Club, a club that doesn’t actually research the occult. They ARE the occult – and Rias is a Devil. Rias takes Issei as a more-than-willing slave and begins training him to use magic in battle against the Fallen Angels, the long-time enemies of Devils everywhere. If Issei can improve his mystical skills, he’ll be able to help his hotter-than-hell master and her scorching supernatural schoolgirl friends defeat their foes. Even better, he might end up with a few sexy slaves of his own.
