ANIME ROUND-UP

Must GET

Sure, we could ask Shenlong for something worthwhile, like Mobile Suits to assist in emergency situations or even just to assist with manual labour, or we could ask for the real world creation of Sword Art Online's Nerv Gear. Yep, forget all of that helpful nonsense, what I want is a headset which transports your psyche into a massive multiplayer online role playing game. Why? Because I still have an infinitesimal portion of my soul which hasn't Anime Tech that I Want In My Life involved, let's get Capsule Corp on the phone and organise capsule shelters which can literally pop into existence from an item resembling a Panadol. A duffle bag worth of these things could provide emergency accommodation for people displaced by war or other types of emergencies. See, I'm not a total monster. However, it'd also make camping much easier. I can never figure out how to successfully un-pop my pop-up tent. Finally, let's get to work on making cyber brains a thing. Sure, it always seems to end in tears in Ghost in the Shell, but I feel as though this is the only way that I'll ever manage to finish a sudoku puzzle – by downloading the answers into my brain. been given to Final Fantasy. So that I'm not entirely self

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'

W hen I was in Japan in April this year, the place was abuzz with Super Saiyan fever. Okay, maybe just the geeky places like Akihabara and Ikebukuro, but there was still undeniable excitement for the release of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' , which is out on DVD and Blu-ray this month. Seriously, there was merchandise everywhere! Just ask my bank account. Just when things seemed to be somewhat peaceful for Goku and the gang, Frieza is back with one final trick up his dastardly sleeve: he has achieved yet another 'final' form.

live-action adaptation of Parasyte: Part 1 on DVD and Blu-ray is worth getting excited about. Not only that, the manga turned anime turned live-action film has all of the action, comedy and gore that you'd expect from this razor sharp franchise. One of my favourite recent series comes to an end (for now) with the release of Sword Art Online 2 - Part 2 , and in spectacular fashion no less. You could cheap out and grab the standard DVD or Blu-ray edition, or prove your otaku cred by grabbing the Limited Edition DVD or Blu-ray which includes an art book and a limited edition box to hold Part 1 and Part 2. Those parts won't house themselves, friend. As persistent a fan favourite as you're likely to find, Persona 4:The Golden Animation Complete Series hits DVD shelves in a flurry of action, adventure and mystery – all of which inexplicably seem to revolve around transfer student Yu Narukami. Not just for fans of the video game source material, this series also has a brilliant soundtrack and gorgeous animation by the always reliable A-1 Pictures. All loved up and being in a meaningful relationship should be all that's needed in life, right? Wrong. Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions - Heart Throb (Season 2) will explain why, with much lulz.

Tokyo Ghoul: Season 1

One of the biggest hit series of recent years, Tokyo Ghoul: Season 1 has something for your average punter and mega-fan alike, with a standard DVD edition, standard Blu-ray edition, and a Limited Edition DVD & Blu-ray Combo Pack. And for a couple of extra woolongs, a special edition of the first season on DVD and Blu-ray as well as postcards, a fabric banner and an absolutely gorgeous art book. Local releases of quality Japanese cinema are sporadic at best, so the release of the
