Before he died, pirate king Bruce encoded a message leading to the whereabouts of a stolen bounty into a necklace he gave to his daughter. When a seagull craps on both your cheeks, all you can really do is scream.Ĭoyote Ragtime Show Collection Release Date: August 20 RRP: $59.95 Genre: Action / Adventure Honestly, I think the voice over from the Coyote Ragtime Show trailer does a better job describing this series than we ever could: "What do an outer space prison break, a little girl with a mysterious pendant, a ravenously determined government agent, a dozen android assassin lolitas and a renegade pirate have in common? 10 billion dollars, that's what. Tokyo Underground is part action, part drama and part high school comedy. Along with Rumina's bespectacled best friend Ginosuke Isuzu, they make an odd combination, but a potent one. The pair soon find themselves sheltering in the house of Rumina Asagi, a high school boy with kick-ass martial arts abilities of his own (and more to come – but we won't spoil it). Thankfully, Ruri has a bodyguard, the kick-ass Chelsea Rorec, and the series opens with them escaping to the surface. ![]() Crucial to their plans is a girl called Ruri Sarasa, the 'Maiden of Life' who they're planning to sacrifice in order to awaken the Ron, dragon-shaped entities created by the same scientists that created The Company. Instead, they're planning on coming to the surface and destroying everyone else. Now, many of The Company aren't the friendly, co-habitating types. Known as The Company, they were the subjects of scientific experiments which have given them the power to manipulate the elements, be it gravity, electricity, wind etc. Tokyo Underground Collection Release Date: August 20 RRP: $59.95 Genre: Action / Adventure Deep beneath Tokyo, cut off from the rest of the city, live a group of unusual humans. It's all delivered with Clamp's unique visual punch. xxxHolic's set-up is interesting enough, but it's the humour that will keep you coming back, whether it's the way Watanuki falls all over Himawari Kunogi, the subject of his affection, the deadpan delivery of Shizuka Domeki, Watanuki's supposed rival, or the antics of Maru and Moro, two young girls that live with Yuko. Naturally enough in the world of anime, Watanuki ends up working for the enigmatic Yuki to pay off his debt, and hilarity ensues. Driven by a power beyond his control, he ventures into the house behind the fence and meets Yuki, a Dimensional Witch, who offers to cure Watanuki of his affliction… for a price. As they knock him to the ground and threaten to crush him he reaches out and touches the fence by the footpath and they disappear. The series opens with him being pursued down the street by a thick cloud of spirits. ![]() Sounds like a cool ability, right? Not really, as the spirit world won't leave him alone.

The world of Vision – and its many anthropomorphic inhabitants – is rich in detail and variety, the animation is hugely polished, and the action scenes nicely framed.

He follows on the heels of a classmate, who becomes a powerful wizard within the world, and is determined to do what it takes to change his life.

In this world, the Goddess of Destiny can make a single wish come true, but in order to reach her, the adventurer faces a difficult path and must attain powerful magic. Brave Story Release Date: August 20 RRP: $29.95 Genre: Action / Adventure / Fantasy In Brave Story, those who wish to change their destiny can only do so by journeying to a mystical world known as Vision. ![]()
