Store Stuff, News, and Tab Clearing
Just a couple of administrative items to pass on this week.
Discotek's distributor has informed us that the July 26th release date for the
Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova- TV Series Complete Collection DVD/BD Combo Set (875707131094) has once again been delayed and a new release date is currently TBD. This is the second time the release of this title has been delayed, and first time being last November when it was announced they would release it on BD and not just DVD as originally planned. I don't have any other information as to delay, except to note that their distributor did get inventory of the sets a couple of weeks ago, but that inventroy was pulled and none of those sets ever got out to retailers. I suspect they may have discovered a flaw in the pressing or master, which would indicate that a new date shouldn't be too far off. Keeping fingers crossed. If you have an order in for this set and want to make a change or cancelation, just
drop us a note.
Some people have reported receiving
Yona of the Dawn: Part Two DVD/BD combo sets that include two disk #2s rather than a disk 1 & 2. This problem seems to have effected a batch of disks that ended up primarily in the Amazon channel, and we have not yet had any issues reported with any of the sets that we have shipped.
Featured - Absolute Duo
Welcome to the prestigious Koryo Academy of Absolute Duo! A special school where students train to fight with weapons that are manifestations of their souls. On the outside, Tor Kokonoe seems like a regular academy student. But while his classmates carry swords, kunai, and axes into battle, his soul becomes a shield. As the students pair up in order to reach their full potential, Tor is partnered with the mysterious and exotic Julie. What he doesn't realize is that their partnership means they'll have to do everything together-fight, attend class, and even sleep in the same room!
As the strangely affectionate girl begins pushing his boundaries to the limit, the other girls in his class start taking notice. While he's fighting to make the grade, he'll have to fend off the advances and attention from the tomboyish Tomoe, the meek Miyabi, and the exceptionally talented Lilith...
...a shield might be just what he needs after all!

VIZ Media has announced a partnership with Rooster Teeth, the company behind the popular animated series
RWBY to produce manga and other publishing formats based on the series. RWBY is an anime series that follows four different girls: Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, who become students at Beacon Academy. There they study to become Huntresses, by training to slay monsters. However, there are threats beyond monsters in their world, and if they want to survive till graduation they'll have to work together - on the battlefield and in the classroom.
"Through the new RWBY titles, readers will discover more about the RWBY universe and delve deeper into the characters and storylines they love, as well as go on all new adventures," said Rooster Teeth Head of Animation Gray G. Haddock. "We are thrilled to be working with VIZ Media to bring such beautiful books to RWBY's audience."
The first release is scheduled for 2017.

After an unfavorable critique drives uptight young calligrapher Sei Handa of Barakamon past his breaking point, his parents decide to ship him off to Japan's Goto Islands to cool off. But instead of a peaceful paradise, Handa discovers a village full of quirky characters with little regard for personal space. On top of that, Handa's temporary apartment has already been claimed as home base by the village elder's granddaughter, Naru, who has a knack for getting into trouble. Will Handa ever be able to redeem his impulsive misdeed? Will he ever be able to write like the masters? Will the village kids ever learn to KNOCK first??
Take food fights to the next level in this bite-sized homage to mecha anime of the past. In modern day Kyoto, young Daijiro Kyogoku has finally taken over his family's traditional Japanese sweets shop. One day at the shop, Daijiro comes across a mysterious giant candy-making robot named Doamygar-D hidden in the shop's basement. This robot is a master of treats, and along with Daijiro, they make the perfect dessert crafting pair. When evil monster-like robots take over begin attacking the city, Daijiro must man his newfound candy-making mecha to feed the insatiable hunger of these foes and turn them back into harmless humans. There has to be someone behind all these transforming treat-loving terrors, and that someone might be closer to Daijiro than he ever thought possible.
Relive the classic era of anime with the studio that brought you Escaflowne, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Wolf's Rain. Eureka Seven, the greatest anime love story ever told, returns to the spotlight after almost a decade-in a complete series collection for the first time! Renton is a teenager trapped working as a mechanic in a backwater town. He dreams of joining up with a daredevil group of pilots known as Gekkostate and following in his father's heroic footsteps. When a mysterious beauty named Eureka shows up asking for a tune up, Renton soon finds himself drawn into a high-flying mecha dogfight that makes him a target of the military. When the dust settles on the spectacular battle, Renton is invited to join Gekkostate, but he soon discovers that even a dream come true has a dark side. Backed by its original powerhouse vocal cast, Eureka Seven is "a series that demonstrates what anime should be..."
Sakura Mamiya's life was odd long before she started helping her fellow student and half-Shinigami Rinne Rokudo assist lost souls in reaching the land of the dead. However, as strange as the various spooks, specters and other other-worldly entities that Sakura has encountered on a daily basis may have been, nothing is as out and out bizarre as finding herself and Rinne involved in a complicated web of perceived romantic relationships that also include a former childhood friend and now frustrated exorcist, Tsubasa Jumonji, and the air-headed and extremely gullible Shinigami Ageha. After all, Sakura's not really sure she's even attracted to Rinne! On the other hand, given the dangers inherent in foiling the efforts of the soul-stealing Damashigani, worrying about anyone's love life is going to have to take second place to avoiding becoming part of the afterlife herself. It's a second round of second thoughts and second chances in the second stunning collection of RIN-NE!
Contains episodes 14-25.
After Mendoza's apparent defeat at the hands of Prince Alfonso, Leon is left humiliated and confused. Abandoned by both his golden armor and his womanizing father, Leon wanders alone looking for purpose and a reason to keep fighting. Meanwhile, Prince Alfonoso struggles to keep up with the daunting dual responsibilities of running a kingdom and keeping Horrors at bay as the chosen Knight of Light. When the two boys finally meet again, will they be able to see the other's struggles and set aside the past in order to work together? A new evil is rising and it's going to take the combined force of the strongest Makai Knights and Alchemists to bring peace back to Valiante.
The Social Welfare Corporation is a secret military force that has been "saving" orphaned girls by making them more machine than flesh. No longer children, they are assassins...and an even more frightening truth will change everything. "Henrietta" was an innocent little girl when her entire family was massacred and she was left for dead. She was rescued by a privately-owned social welfare organization and given cybernetic components over her battered body. Brainwashed by the organization, she and four other girls now work as cold-blooded assassins, doing the dirty work for the Italian government.
