SYNOPSIS:
Some say that life is like
an unfolding tapestry, but living at the Hidamari Apartments is more
like being part of a patchwork quilt, one that constantly changes as
bits and pieces of the lives
and dreams of the young artists who make this extraordinary residence
their home are added to the ever-expanding pattern. When we first met
Yuno, she'd just been accepted to the prestigious Yamabuki Art School
and it was up to her new neighbors at Hidamari
to help her find her way in the big scary world. Now a seasoned vet of
the Hidamari Apartments herself, Yuno's newest challenge is to help the
latest arrivals, Nazuna and Nori, acclimate to life on their own. Of
course, since it IS Hidamari, there are still
lots of trials and tribulations ahead, and nothing will ever go quite
as expected. But with friends like Miyako, Hiro and Sae ready to lend a
hand, there will always be a ray of sunshine at the end of every storm
in Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu - Blu-ray.

The lockers are splattered with blood, the student bodies are piling up

when a nightmarish virus is unleashed, turning humans into flesh eating
zombies and converting Fujimi High School into a literal hell on
Earth. Now it's a crash course in survival, and
the only test or skill that matters is the ability to keep moving,
breathing and fighting. Because if nerds, jocks and the surviving staff
can't find a way to work together to escape this carnal house of
education, they're all going to end up on the menu.
And that's assuming there's anyplace safe left to escape to. At the
sound of the school bell, the Zombie Apocalypse will begin as Kumuro,
Saya, Rei, Busujima, Hirano band together in the ultimate collectors'

Format: DVD
Language: English & Japanese with English Subtitles
SRP: $19.98
SYNOPSIS:
The Magic Spheres are incredibly dangerous and powerful magical
artifacts, capable of absorbing negative emotions and transforming
everyday
objects into monstrous BEMS (bug eyed monsters). So when a demon
manages to scatter six of them through the gate between the World of
Magic and Earth, someone's got to get them back. Unfortunately, that
job falls to master of disguise (and fan servicey costumes)
Lime, the sometimes monstrous and generally lecherous monster hunter
Bass and their ooey-gooey shape-shifting slime companion Poogie, none of
whom are probably the best choices for a task of such monumental
importance and urgency. On the other hand, the whole
situation is sort of their fault to begin with, and while their
decision to infiltrate a Japanese High School may seem a bit oddly
timed, at least it gets them a new friend in the form of cute but
clueless schoolgirl Miyuki! Will this motley band of would
be BEM hunters be up to the task of fingering panty stealing pocket
purses, pinning down living syringes with nastily pointed agendas and
turning up the heat on malevolent candles intent on snuffing out entire
cities? The hunt is on in JEWEL BEM HUNTER LIME!

SYNOPSIS:
Hazuki may be near-sighted, but he knows true beauty when he sees it
and the delicate form of flower shop owner Rokka draws him in like a
bee to honey. So, hoping to cultivate a relationship between them,
Hazuki takes a part time job at her shop, only to discover two huge
thorns preventing the nurturing of any romance. The first, the fact
that Rokka is still grieving for her late husband Shimao,
would be enough to snip most men's ardor short, but it's the second
that really threatens to make Hazuki's forlorn hopes wilt. Because
while Shimao is most definitely deceased, he hasn't yet departed and his
spirit is still living in Rokka's apartment! Except
only Hazuki can see him, which leads to a very strange romantic
triangle indeed. Are Hazuki's chances with Rokka as dead as the man who
still lives in her house? Or can he somehow make love blossom even
though there's an interloper pushing up the daisies
between them? One way or another, the ground's going to be rocky and
someone or something's likely to get nipped in the bud in NATSUYUKI
RENDEZVOUS!

words? Well, it's time to find out as Fate steps in and decides to see
