Kill Me Baby (Sentai Filmworks, TV-PG) "Yasuna Oribe isn’t your typical Japanese high school girl. For one thing, she’s a little slow on the uptake, and for another, her best friend, Sonya, is actually a highly trained foreign assassin. Though, as Sonya has the habit of regularly attacking her, perhaps Yasuna’s definition of “best friend” is a bit strange. However, as noted, Yasuna isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. And while Sonya knows precisely what to do with every one of those sharp objects, even she is hard pressed to deal with the day-to-day oddities that seem to fill their class schedule. Things like: escaped bears, voodoo curses, juggling, and killer mosquitoes. Not to mention puppet shows. And just in case Yasuna’s school-life wasn’t weird or hazardous enough, there’s her ninja classmate, Agiri, assassins targeting just about everybody, a mysterious red haired girl with a personal vendetta, and the perils of slipping in the public bath. They say a little education can be a dangerous thing, but with a school life like this, Yasuna will be lucky to keep breathing past third period in KILL ME BABY!"
FORMATS: Blu-Ray




Levius (Viz Pictures, TV-14) "As a boy, Levius lost his mother and his right arm in the war. Throwing himself into the arena, demanding he call on all his strength and endure great pains, he must push himself to victory and perhaps save a young woman who may be beyond redemption."
