Max Fleischer's Superman (Warner Bros, NR) "Make them exciting and visually bold, make them in brilliantly saturated Technicolor: This is a job for Superman! From their signature bullet-paced prologues to their muscular style to their stories steeped in heroics and wartime topicality, these 17 animated theatrical shorts produced by Max Fleischer (with the first nine directed by his brother Dave) set the tone for future screen versions of the Man of Steel's exploits, inspired animators for decades to come and, best of all, continue to pack a thrilling punch for fans. Superman's adventures in comic books were scarcely three years old when the Academy Award-nominated debut cartoon, Superman, burst onto the screen with its breakthrough look and vitality. The excitement still soars."
FORMATS: Blu-Ray





Onipan! Complete Collection (Sentai Filmworks, TV-14)" Remember those cartoon character-based undergarments that kids used to wear? How many of those brightly colored sets were sold in the hope that they might actually grant someone super powers? And what if they actually could? Three young Japanese Oni are about to answer that question when they're transformed into human girls and transferred into a normal high school as part of a plan to ease relations between humans and demons! How? Because when extra-large problems arise, they can don special tiger-striped underpants… Oni-Pants… that let them transform and use special Oni abilities to make brief work of the issue! Of course, with great underwear comes great responsibilities (and the danger of accidental Mooning while in senshi mode), but if someone has to wear the big girl undies, then the future's foundation will hopefully be fundamentally secure!"
FORMATS: Blu-Ray





Teeny Witches: Complete Collection (Media Blasters, 13+) "Arusu is a young girl who truly believes in magic with all her heart and soul. Her dreams literally come true when she’s thrust into a fantastical realm inhabited with fairies, witches and strange magic spells! With the help and friendship of two young witches, Sheila and Eva, Arusu quickly masters some magical powers. Soon, the trio find themselves opposing rival witches, a mysterious pirate, and sinister invading forces! Despite their hair-raising adventures, nothing can stop the three girls from fulfilling their individual hopes and dreams!"
FORMATS: Blu-Ray





Wolf Girl and Black Prince: Complete Collection (Sentai Filmworks, TV-14) "Okay, perhaps making up a fake boyfriend to impress her new classmates was a dumb idea, but how was Erika to know that the guy in the photo she'd used was another student in her school? And who could have guessed that such a good-looking guy would turn out to be such a dog? Only it's Erika who's in the doghouse now, because that's the price Kyoya Sata demands of her in exchange for keeping silent. That's right, she's literally his bitch, forced to run, fetch, and even bark at his command! And that's not even the most mind-boggling part of the whole situation... because, for inexplicable reasons, she's starting to like him! O.M.G.! Is this Puppy Love or Stockholm Syndrome?
