The entire collection of FLCL in one box set. Includes: Fooly Cooly: Naota has enough to deal with at home. His older brother went to the US to play baseball. And his father and grandfather never behave like normal adults. Not to mention his brother's girlfriend is now making advances on him. Plus there's a so called alien girl hitting on him. Literally. With a bass guitar. Oh did we mention the robots that keep springing from his head. Fire Starter: Hanging out by the river and playing with cars no one would suspect that Mamimi is a girl with a dark past. She's been obsessed with the videogame 'Fire Starter'. Coincidentally there's been a string of fires around town. Fires like the one that burned down the school 6 years ago where Naota first met Mamimi. And if that's not enough there's something growing inside Naota's head. Marquis de Carabas & Full Swing: In these episodes Naoto finds himself being tagged to play the lead in the school production of Puss And Boots by class president Ninamori whose reasons for choosing him have little to do with acting ability. Later Naoto finds his patience wearing thin when Haruko takes it upon herself to teach him baseball. Brittle Bullet: Mabase's safe for now but there's a new kind of danger. Naota finds himself in the midst of a survival game with Karuko on his team. With weapons blazing it looks like Kitsurubami has joined the tray. And Amaroo is getting his hair dyed?

A mercenary kung fu fighter is hired by both Yakuza and Mafia as they plot to kidnap the daughter of an oil magnate. However when each gang refuses to meet his asking price the master switches sides and is hired to protect the woman at all costs... Excellent martial arts action from the first in the series of 'Streetfighter' movies that made Sonny Chiba lately referencing his own reputation with a cameo in Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill' an international star.
The main story of the film is based on the life of a Japanese academic and author Hyakken Uchida (1889-1971). The film opens with him resigning as a professor of German in the period immediately before the Second World War. The plot of the film is centered around his relationship with his former students who care for him in his old age. The title 'Not Yet' in English is an allusion to an ancient Japanese legend mentioned in one scene of the film of an old man who refuses to die. This story is constantly referred to in the movie as every year on the professor's birthday his students throw him a party in which they all ask him ""Mada kai?"" (""Are you ready?""). He responds by drinking a large ceremonial glass of beer and shouting ""Mada dayo!"" (""Not yet!"") implying that death may be near but life still goes on!
In Love Song of Vengeance, Shurayuki-hime--a.k.a. Lady Snowblood, "Yuki" for short (played by Meiko Kaji)--continues her advertures in the female samurai saga that inspired Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. In Lady Snowblood, Yuki avenged her family by slaying the four criminals that killed her father, raped her mother, and predestined her to the life of a justice-seeking assassin. Love Song of Vengeance picks up where Lady Snowblood let off, not so much as a sequel like Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy, but a continuation of the lone assassin's adventures (similar to Zaitochi). Sentenced to death for her crimes of murder, Yuki is given pardon by Kikui, a secret government police agent. In return for her freedom, Kikui wants Yuki to assassinate anarchist Ransui and obtain a secret document he is hiding. While carrying out her orders, Yuki discovers the document in question is actually a letter incriminating agent Kikui. Always one to be on the side of justice, Lady Snowblood switches sides, joining anarchist Rasui to face off, expose, and destroy the crooked agent. The blood may not flow like geysers and there may be a lot less samurai action than in the first installment. However, Love Song of Vengeance is well-paced, nicely shot, and a well thought-out continuation of the heroine's adventures. Sadly, they ended with this installment. --Rob Bracco
