Man, I really like the new box art for these Dragon Ball Z Kai seasons! Just look at the design on the Dragon Ball Z Kai Season 3 DVD and Blu-ray releasing next week. Pretty epic. What do you think? Are you going to pick up Season 3 next week?

series synopsis:

For the first time in history, experience the legendary Z as the master intended: bigger, faster, stronger, and packed with the pulverizing power to blow your puny minds! Beef up your collection with this manga-centric, fresh take on Akira Toriyama’s original vision, featuring more action than you can handle, revitalized animation, and an amped-up audio experience that will make your ears beg for mercy!

If apples are your favorite, then you’ve got something in common with Holo from Spice and Wolf. You can own the complete series on BD/DVD Combo next week. Are you a fan of economics? Or maybe just a fan of wolf deities?

series synopsis:

Lawrence, a traveling merchant searching for profit, finds a naked girl with the ears and tail of a wolf asleep in his cart. Her name is Holo - a harvest goddess with an untamed beast lurking inside who longs to return to her beloved northern home. Armed with his street smarts and her animal instincts, a simple peddler and a forgotten deity begin a journey through the wild countryside. Along their path, the riches of happiness shall be reaped, even as the bankruptcy which dwells in the human heart is exposed.

Wow, the next few months are going to be a powerhouse of releases. We’ve got Season One of the compelling SyFy series, Lost Girl, releasing in October and then on November 13th we get Season Two. Although the release date for Mass Effect: Paragon Lost has now been changed to December 28th, you can still pre-order it on Amazon.com. This is our second co-production film with BioWare, and we couldn’t be more excited. If you’ve played Mass Effect 3 and you found you weren’t the biggest Vega fan, watch this movie. Trust us, you’ll see Vega in a whole new light after seeing this.

movie synopsis:

Fans of the ground-breaking Mass Effect franchise shouldn’t miss this stunning motion picture experience born of an epic collaboration between the legendary Bioware and visionary Production I.G (Ghost in the Shell, Kill Bill: Vol.1).

Mass Effect: Paragon Lost is the prequel to the highly-anticipated Mass Effect 3 and follows the early career of Alliance Marine, James Vega. Vega leads an elite Special Forces squad into battle against a mysterious alien threat known as The Collectors. Stationed at a colony in a remote star system, Vega and his soldiers must protect the civilians from a ruthless invasion determined to capture the population for unknown purposes. Learn more about the Mass Effect universe with an unprecedented glimpse into the haunted past of Mass Effect’s newest hero!

Sales, sales, sales! You love them, but they make your wallets cry. Well, here’s another sale that’s probably not going to help that dysfunctional relationship with your cash. From now until Sept. 24th select Blu-rays and DVDs will be offered for a significantly discounted price. That’s right, titles like Black Butler, Fairy Tail, Tales of Vesperia, and Cat Planet Cuties will be up to 56% off! Get yourself some back to school anime, your shelves look a little lonely.

So, what titles are you most interested in?

Some of you may have noticed that the eagerly anticipated Shakugan no Shana Season Two Part 1 & Part 2 releases have been delayed, but that’s because we’re packing the release full of EXTRAS! Including the animated specials of: Why? What? Shana! Ask Anything Question Box (aka Naze Nani Shana), and Shakugan no Shana-tan. So while there may be a bit of a wait, it’s all so we could make the release just a little more special for all of you.

To tide you over until December, don’t forget that Shakugan no Shana Season One is available for the first time on Blu-ray this month (August 21)! So you can watch the scorching saga all over again from the beginning, but now in glorious High Definition!

series synopsis:

From the studio behind Toradora! and Okami-san and her Seven Companions comes the iconic series centered around the heated bond and supernatural battles of two friends from two very different worlds. Wielding a blazing sword, Shana is a fiery huntress whose sole purpose is to fight demon-like beings that consume human lives. To reduce the impact on the human realm, Shana turns the slain into shadows of their former selves. Once a flame that represents their remaining life goes out, they fade from existence. This should be Yuji’s fate, but when he discovers he holds a special power that ignites a newfound strength in Shana, they join forces in her ongoing mission to maintain the balance between the ordinary world and the supernatural.

Also out next week, we have Shangri-la Parts 1 & 2. We enjoy a good resistance speech as much as the next person, and the trailer for this series is fantastic!

In a mythical kingdom, the mighty Imperial Knights harness a magical substance known as Aer to power their weapons and protect humanity from the monsters of the forest. But something strange is afoot; the Aer is somehow changing, causing the wilderness to waste away and stirring the woodland beasts to attack with greater frequency. As danger creeps steadily closer to civilization, two young recruits - Flynn, the rigid son of a fallen hero, and the rebellious and brash Yuri - must ride with their fellow Imperial Knights to distant ruins in hopes of uncovering the truth behind the transforming Aer. Some will not survive the thrilling journey. Some will be betrayed. If Flynn and Yuri cannot overcome their differences and learn to fight together, all will be lost for the people of the realm.
