Out This Week: 'Love Live!' Movie, RahXephon, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and More
The summer months are typically sparse in terms of new home releases. It's like they actually expect us to leave the house or something. As a result this week's list is looking light on titles and low on major titles. The week's biggest anime title is proably Love Live Movie (which gets a collector's release) in the UK and The Madoka Magica magical girl movie trilogy in the US. Other than that, the only non anime title released this week is a reissue of season one Adult Swim favourite Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

bets the value of his organs on herself to win in a death match against a
half-lion hybrid! Even more astonishing: Hitomi wins! That’s because she’s a
Therianthrope, a genetically engineered fighter created specifically for the
underground death matches known as Killing Bites! And now that Yuya has been
pulled into this dark underworld, he has no choice but to continue working for
