Summary
At the dawn of the 17th century, at the end of the era of civil wars, in a world of chaos, the epic Battle of Sekigahara was joined. One man emerged from the largest battle ever fought on Japanese soil; a terrible warrior of unspeakable power, he was nicknamed 'the unconquerable.'
Kyoshiro is a peaceful medicine peddler who harbors the soul of an assassin. He accompanies a young bounty hunter across Japan in search of a murderer and on a quest to discover the terrible secret of his own identity.

Hey, Tiger & Bunny, what're you trying to say here? Superheroes, reality shows, corporate sponsors, product placement, and economic downturns?
If you needed any further confirmation that Japanese anime studios are scoping out potential foreign audiences when they greenlight a new show, this is it. The series has "Region 1 license" written all over it, with a dizzying American pop-culture pastiche designed to amuse fans on either side of the Pacific. The story begins in Stern Bild, an ultra-modern city where DC/Marvel-type superheroes are a fact of life—except that they have corporate logos plastered across their skintight suits and have their exploits shown on TV as if it were a professional sport. That wry premise alone ought to sell the series.

Once again, a high price tag and no English dub will probably keep casual fans from picking up this release. But even in Japanese, the tone of the vocal performances is clear: lots of loudness and silliness. The subtitles stay true to certain details of the language, such as sentence endings ("nano da"), but at the same time the text retains a conversational flow, even managing a couple of colloquialisms in English.
Serious Galaxy Angel fans will probably be the ones to get the most enjoyment out of the extras; this is one of the few franchises where the voice actresses are just as important to the series as the actual characters. As mentioned before, the "Angel Rune Sentiment" short film starring Aya Hirano (Kahlua/Tequila) is probably the big draw here, although a separate short featuring Satomi Akesaka (Nano-Nano) gets the script with the better plot. Textless ending sequences round out the extras on the disc, while the case comes with a booklet containing episode and character trivia, as well as a reversible cover.

This edition of Galaxy Angel Rune continues with its fluffy comedy ways, stopping only once for an interesting little genre spoof. The idea of cute space cadets getting trapped in a classic horror movie plot does have its entertainment value—but that only accounts for a quarter of the disc's running time. Elsewhere, it's all about cute space cadets making fools of themselves in a far more conventional manner. There's nothing artistically special about it, and the plotting only goes as far as thinking 5 seconds ahead to the next slapstick gag—but those who like what they've seen of the series so far can at least be assured that they'll enjoy this one too.

Volume 2 of Princess 9 brings our gals closer to something resembling a team. This volume fills in the remaining holes and gives some important background for the series as well. And, as usual, Princess 9 carries impressive art and outstanding music.
The interpersonal relationships are really tested in this one. That is what makes this series stand out from others: it is almost completely character-driven. Not only do we get to see the struggles of putting together this rag-tag baseball team, but also what happens in the girls' personal lives, and it's all done without gimmicky super powers or giant robots. To add to the mix, the series carries the same weight it would for a high school-er, meaning the threat of utter failure is there. The audience is not guaranteed that everything will succeed. Granted we "know" the baseball team will continue, because otherwise there is no more series, but the thrill of the moment is still there through each of the trials the girls face to keep it going.

Deadman Wonderland chapter 11 12 13 14 15 16
Summary
Ganta Igarashi has been convicted of a crime that he hasn't committed, and sent to a new, privately owned and operated prison, where the inmates are the main attraction in a modern day twist to the gladiatorial coliseums of ancient times. Throw in a healthy dose of weird little girl, some new-found super powers, and a little conspiracy theory, and you have Deadman Wonderland.

There are some nice extras on this disk that are worth checking out. The opening sequence from the cut VHS dub and The Power of Love (The song that replaced Moon Revenge on the cut VHS dub release) are included. This is nice for people like me who love to compare different versions. In the character profiles section you can jump to each of the sailors' transformation sequences and to an example of each of the attacks they perform in this movie. There is also an image gallery.
In conclusion, this is a very solid movie. It is a wonderful place to start if you want an introduction to Sailor Moon.

Brandon Heat is a man unlike all other men: he shoots his guns cross-handed. More importantly, he's been resurrected from the dead and is now known as Grave--short for Beyond the Grave. Under the watch of a scientist and a young girl, Grave wanders around his deserted hometown recollecting his memories and preparing for a mission of revenge against the friend who turned on him. His back story is long enough that the next few episodes cover just the first stage of Brandon's past. In the flashbacks, Brandon runs with a gang of street punks whose rivalry with another gang escalates into a battle for their lives when mobster "Mad Dog" Ladd steps into the fray. Guns are fired, lives are lost, and soon it's just Brandon and his best friend Harry MacDowel fending for themselves on the city streets. With nowhere else to go, Harry decides to join Millennion, the crime syndicate that killed Ladd. Brandon decides to come along, but inside he's wondering if they've made the right choice.
