discovers a long-lost artifact from the past, the façade of their world
is shattered and the cracks that split the foundation of their reality
threaten to swallow them whole! Faced with
a bloody secret history of how their world really came to be and thrust
into a nightmarish new paradigm, Saki and her companions are confronted

legendary set of unstoppable weapons created in the distant past. But

SYNOPSIS:
After making an animated film together in high school, Aoi and her
friends Shizuka, Ema, Misa, and Midori made a promise to each other: to
all get jobs in the anime industry and someday work together again.
Two years later, Aoi is learning that working as a production assistant
at a small animation studio is far more demanding than she ever
imagined, and Shizuka's aspiring career as a voice
actor involves more time waiting tables than recording. Meanwhile,
Ema's slowly making a name for herself as a key animator, Misa's moved
from 2D to 3D and now works in computer graphics, and screenwriting
hopeful Midori is lagging furthest behind, still
looking for her first big break. But are they ready to give up on
their dreams just yet? No way! Because while anime may come from
inspiration, in the end it's the ones who're willing to put in the
perspiration that make their dreams real in SHIROBAKO!

SRP: $59.98, $69.98
SYNOPSIS:
With great powers come great responsibilities, and that includes
cleaning up the aftermath of your previous adventures. Which means
that,
instead of getting a break after saving the world, newly changed
magical girls Illya and Miyu have to help deal with the side-effects
caused by the sealing of the Ley Cards. Still, that shouldn't be too
hard, right? Wrong! Not only are the ley lines failing,
but to make matters worse, Illya somehow ends up with a magical clone…
and that sinister clone has plans of her own! Worse yet, since the
"dark" version of herself is drawing its power from the same source as
our heroine, Illya's own powers are being reduced
proportionately. These are definitely not the kind of problems that
the average girl should have to deal with. It's double the trouble as
Illya's split personalities face off and the personal conflicts get
physical in Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2Wei!

Whether in the planning rooms for lunar missions or the claustrophobic

astronaut must learn to deal with is pressure. But as deadly as the
blowout of a pressurized cabin may be, the peer pressure that weighs on
brothers Mutta and Hibito may be even more crippling. As Mutta
prepares to journey to the bottom of the deep blue
sea for NEEMO training, Hibito's path descends to even lower depths as
his inability to recover sends him into a downward emotional spiral.
Will a trip to Russia be the cure for Hibito's malaise? Or, having once
reached the stars, will he now end up forever
grounded by NASA and JAXA? Yet even as one rising star falters, a
second prepares for his ascent to the heavens as Mutta's quest to reach
space advances to the next level in the seventh spellbinding collection

She's
the perfect girl, and you can do ANYTHING you want with her! That's
what the company MAIDWORKS promises, and boy, do they deliver!
Unfortunately for android maid Yui, her new owner is an
otaku who's slipped way past the boundaries of normal anime fandom and
into something that's better described as abnormally fanatic. So
instead of cooking, cleaning, and the other… er… duties expected of an
android, Yui's main task will be to parade about
in an ever-changing variety of anime and maid costumes while the
deranged Takaya indulges in his even more deranged fantasies! And since
Yui's one of those rare androids with self-awareness, this isn't just
embarrassing, it's downright humiliating! And things
only get weirder as other MAIDWORKS models arrive, each designed to
cater to another facet of otaku-dom! Get ready for nosebleeds,
tentacles, and panty-shots galore in the ecchi-est, letch-iest, comedy
sketch-iest OAV series ever maid, INDIAN SUMMER!

Kazuya
Maeda felt almost invisible during his first year of high school, and

his image, and it's all centered around the big, new girl-magnet hanging
in front of him: the digital SLR he just received from his dad! But is a
camera really all it takes to make talking
to girls a snap? Well, at least with digital there aren't many
negatives, and if Kazuya can just stay focused and hit all the right
angles, who knows what might develop? Find out if the girls really do
go for the guy with the biggest lens as Kazuya zooms
his way to the top of the spread in PHOTO KANO!
