It's another happy Friday here at Anime Corner World HQ!

Kon'nichiwa everyone!

We've a got a few new Anime arrivals for you this week, including a couple of key Limited Editions (cough Berserk cough), plus another nice batch of new manga as well. And we extended our annual End of Year Anime Sale one more time.

Why you ask?

Good grief, the prices are great! Why what?


Have a great weekend, and enjoy your Anime!

News and Tab Clearing
   
Funimation's distributor informed us this week that the Limited Edition versions of both My Hero Academia and Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans will not be reproduced and are officially out of print. They have canceled all retailer backorders for these two items. Standard Editions only going forward.

Discotek announced that it has licensed the Toriko the Movie: Secret Recipe of Gourmet God! (Gekijo-ban Toriko Bishokushin no Special Menu), Zatch Bell: 101st Devil (Konjiki no Gash Bell: 101 Banme no Mamono), Zatch Bell: Attack of Mechavulcan (Konjiki no Gash Bell!!: Attack of the Mechavulcan), and Great Mazinger anime. The Toriko and Zatch Bell films are slated for release on Blu-ray Disc on March 27, while Great Mazinger is slated for release on DVD on March 27. The company also revealed that Tenjho Tenge, Robot Carnival, and Tomorrow's Joe are all slated for March 27.

The magical life of Negi Springfield makes his way to the Sentai Filmworks collection of titles. As a 10-year-old wizard-in-training, his final test to become a Master Wizard will be to become the English teacher in an all-female boarding school. With 31 students complicating everything and a life that includes evil wizards, magical objects and difficult tests, 'Negima!' and 'Negima!?' will fill our days with comedy, romance, action and lots of adventures. Be on the lookout for details on the release of these powerful shows on home video, television, and select digital outlets.

And finally, you may have noticed that we extended our end of year sale one more week. As it turned out, some other things came up around the store and we just didn't have time this week to take the sale down, so we'll get to that shortly. In the mean time, I don't think anyone is going to complain that the great savings continue a little while longer! ;)

Upcoming Releases:

We have some new 2018 Anime releases coming from Viz, Shout Factory, and Eastern Star's release schedules, and we now have them up on the store site for pre-order! Here's what's coming:

Featured Pre-Order - Napping Princess     
        
The year is 2020, three days before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics. While she should be studying for her exams, Kokone Morikawa is often dozing off, stuck between reality and a dream-world full of fantastic motorized contraptions. But after her father, a talented but mysterious mechanic, is arrested for stealing technology from a powerful corporation, it's up to Kokone and her childhood friend Morio to save him.
 
 
 
Together they realize that Kokone's dream-world holds the answers to the mystery behind the stolen tech, and they embark on a journey that traverses dreams and reality, city and country, and past and present. Their mission uncovers a trail of clues to her father's disappearance and ultimately a surprising revelation about Kokone's family.

Robert's Random Thought

"Good Anime sales never die, they just slowly fade away..." lol!

The world is overrun with Kabane, infected humans with an appetite for flesh. While the last of humanity has retreated into fortress-like stations connected by armored trains, some remain as hopeful as Ikoma. Servicing the trains for a living, Ikoma uses his spare time to build a weapon that could defeat the Kabane. Unapologetically optimistic, he eagerly awaits the day when he can test it. When a train is hijacked by the Kabane, he may finally get his chance. But an unexpected turn of events puts him in a situation that will test not only his weapon but his own humanity.

Wielding his monstrous blade, Dragonslayer, he and a band of unlikely allies, including a mouthy fairy and a rock throwing orphan will face danger unlike any they've ever seen before. And when Guts is reunited with the woman he loves, the woman he abandoned, he'll stop at nothing to protect her from the demons that plague the world. Between unstable heretic-hunting knights and deadly apostles, will Guts have what it takes to keep on fighting, or will he finally fall at the hands of those he seeks to destroy?

At the Tohtsuki Culinary Academy, the first rule is survival of the fittest, and if you don't have what it takes to become a master chef, you need to get out of the kitchen before you get burned. With the wheat of first-year students separated from the chaff, cocky former diner cook Yukihira Soma is one of the handful of kitchen whizzes still standing. As the next round of the Autumn Elections gets underway, can he survive a brutal bento boxing match with the chemistry-obsessed granddaughter of the Academy's director? And which of the other contenders; Megumi, Ryo, Akira, Hisako, Takumi or sinister dark-horse Subaru; will advance to fight for the gold medal? Get ready for another cut-throat season of eat, beat, and defeat!

But one of his first cases is a tricky one when his mentor is murdered. With all evidence pointing to the victim's sister Maya, it's up to Phoenix to use all his wit and powerful shouting to prove her innocence. But that's easier said than done when up against Miles Edgeworth, the genius prosecutor. Before the gavel can strike down on a guilty verdict, Phoenix must trust in the evidence to reveal the truth. And with a loud cry of "OBJECTION!" the confetti of a not guilty verdict rains down! But, there's no time to celebrate victory when another case lands on his desk.

On planet Amoi, a great society has developed, creating a computerized city called Tanagura, ruled by supercomputer Jupiter. The populace is almost entirely male and is based on hair color; silver and/or blonds are the elitist, ending with dark/black haired as the bottom of society, often known as "mongrels". Blondies keep "pets", young boys kept for a few years, especially made for performing sexual actions for the Blondie's voyeurism entertainment. Blondies aren't suppose to keep pets for long or interact sexually with pets, but one blondie named Iason Mink has kept a pet named Rikki, for years and is rumored to sleep with him. Iason refuses to let go of Rikki, even with Jupiter's disapproval. Rikki fights with his emotions and society problems, unable to decide what to do about his old friend/lover Gai (Guy) and their gang. Iason is obsessed with keeping Rikki, and Rikki doesn't know what to do; fight against him or surrender to him.
