Accel World Set 1 [Blu-ray]

Enter the Accelerated World
Accel World was created by the author of Sword Art Online, and features many of the same concepts seen in the series. Characters in this series wear a Neuro linker device that aids them with their day to day lives, including school work, and gaming.

Haruyuki Arita is the main character of this series, he's a somewhat chubby teenager who is low on confidence due to being bullied at school, until one day he meets a girl called Kuroyukihime.

Contains: Episodes 1-12
Languages: English, Japanese
Subtitles: English
Blu Ray Region: A

Upon meeting Kuroyukihime, she takes a strong interest in him, and after linking with his neuro linker installs a program called 'Brain Burst' onto it, and teaches him about the Accelerated world. Without getting into the science of the idea, the neuro linker can basically accelerate the users perception of time. And while minutes, if not hours can pass in the accelerated world, not a great deal of time passes in...
This may include the Dub Version
This show Is a great awesome show and I just want to point out that this may include the first 12 episodes in english but I'd talk with viz before ordering.

The english dub is currently being worked on by Viz and Airs on Neon Alley infact by time this is released the series should be finished and completed in english

Also want to note for people interested in this Accel World is by the guy who created Sword Art Online but if you're looking for AW to be just like Sao you're in for a shocker. I feel AW was overshadowed by Saos popularity and was highly underestimated.

You'll love the Show or the Music ( which is beautiful by the way) or might even love both
overview
this anime is a mix of heavens lost property, dot hack and air gear

by which i mean we get a chubby chibi main character with detailed sub characters
the technology in this anime allow for augmented reality and virtual worlds to exist for people to create avatars

(similar to dot hack)

now there is a secret program/game that is the focus called burst link.
the series revolves around this game and the abilities it gives. the areas of the world of burst link are divided by kings, which is similar to air gears setup, as well as the main characters ability.

now this has the first 12 episodes i believe, which are good, but each set leaves you on a cliff hanger.

part 1
ep1-12

part 2
ep12-21

now this series is in dub. i have sent corrections to amazon and hopefully it updates. this series style is unique and despite the main character being fat and feeling self pity, its rather a good show that...

Bleach Volume 18 [DVD]

What's with the cover art?
So I understand that this set will include the episodes that have to do with the sword beasts. The last episode listed on here is 267 which does take us back to the original story of the Arrancar Arc, but 267 is simply a flash back to catch everyone up. Ichigo does not kill Ulquiorra in this set, nor does he transform into his full hollow self. I simply find it weird that they chose this cover for these episodes. They don't go together. Don't get me wrong. I like the cover, but it is just very misleading.
One story ends, an old one returns
Ichigo battles to save friends and finds new friends in the most unlikeliest of places. The Series Bleach shows a the abrreviated paths of and to power that supposedly eixsts within all of us. But the lessons we learn are not always clear. Enemies, and friends can be confused, and right and wrong take all forms to include exchanging places.
Great Anime
I loved this arc, and its sad to see it end. So just to own it is a must for me... The box art is also very amazing although I believe it should have been held for the season with ichigo and ulquiorra's fight takes place above Las Noches. I wished they would have started these in blu-ray but either way, a must own of any fan of anime and bleach.

Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Lost Tower [Blu-ray]

Not the Best
First of all, let me start by saying that I like the Naruto series a lot and for a couple of (personal) reasons I'll still be buying this movie once it's on sale in NA, but from this point on consider yourself warned: This is not the best Naruto movie. At all.

As I recall, this was the one that did in the scriptwriter for the past few (all of them?) movies--he was let go because this movie was panned so hard in Japan. Weak plot and weaker character interaction added to the weakest battle sequences I've seen so far made this movie a trial to sit through even though it isn't even an hour and a half in length. Watch it just for the sake of watching it, to say you've seen it, and you might not notice the issues present. Watch it twice, though, with greater attention paid to the nuances, and the flaws really begin to glare at you. I could go into a massive list of what's wrong with it from start to finish, but I already did that on my blog; at a ten-point font size it took three...
Naruto Shippuden: The Movie - The Lost Tower
So glad to have this movie in my collection. have been waiting for a while to get it. Can't wait to get the res of the Naruto Shippuden movie and more. Such a big fan of this and the original series.
Naruto is awesome!
I have it on pre-order! I love Naruto! The movies are pretty awesome to me, I look forward to this myself. However I speak for myself, not whether or not anyone else will like this movie.

Pokemon: Lucario & The Mystery of Mew

Best movie yet. Would be better in widescreen.
My personal opinion is that this film is the best out of all 15 so far released. My hope, however, is that this time, the film will be presented in its original widescreen aspect ratio. The previous release may have contained the bonus TV special, but the film was presented in full screen. If it's not widescreen, don't bother purchasing.
