DURARARA!!
Part 3 is just about here and thus concludes the Durarara!! story. There’s an exclusive DVD-only OVA on this one, too. We’ve had to synch our release dates up with the USA, so it’ll be hitting stores a little later than the other new releases for this month. Don’t forget that our Durarara!! competition is still up and running, so if you want to win a Japanese Durarara!! poster signed by Takahiro Omori time is ticking away…
NEEDLESS
Part 1 of the post-apocalyptic action-comedy is here! A 2DVD release, Needless pokes fun at gung-ho series like Fist of the North Star, throws in some cheeky sexual innuendo; whips up some no-holds-barred, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink OTT action and then wallows in its own gratuitous glory! If you’re after some nudges/winks and think you’ve seen it all, see if you can sit still while watching Needless! Part 2 is availabe for pre-order now.
WHEN THEY CRY
Yep, it’s here – Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Part 2. Those of you who picked it up at the recent festivals and told us “naw i’ll wait for part two thanx k bye” need wait no more. This is a tale of EVIL…and is delivering chilly goose-bumps to fans far and wide. Great to finally have the whole shebang available locally. In stores May 20.
WELCOME TO THE NHK
Stock arriving soon! Arguably the BEST slice-o’-life series of recent times, we’re shooting for the definitive edition with this one. I have the big ol’ first-wave box set here next to me and it’s a shame to see the empty space where volumes 5 and 6 should be. Then there’s the budget release from a couple of years ago with the slap-bang design and cheesy, fan-service art that completely misrepresents the series (insert sad face). Truth be told: Welcome to the NHK is a stone-cold cult CLASSIC and we’re elated to have a chance at presenting it the way it should have been the first time ’round. Still open for pre-order and running HOT.
CLANNAD AFTER STORY
Part 2 of the Clannad sequel is out soon. Remember that we are also giving away a limited edition Clannad lithograph to one lucky pre-order customer…Don’t wanna pre-order? FINE THEN: we’ve also snared another one which we’re giving away via our facebook page (check out the facebook page for more information)!
KAIBA
Masaaki Yuasa’s mind-bending vision of a bleak future punctauted by glimmers of hope will be available next month. Hot off the heels of his brilliant work on The Tatami Galaxy, Kaiba is similarly reflective in tone and is sweet candy for the eyes and ears. Exquisite anime for discerning fans.
