Out This Week: Platinum End, Mad Monster Party, Triage X and More

Welcome to the first edition of Out This Week for the month of June. The summer months are typically on the quiet side for new home entertainment releases, and so it proves this week. New this week is the second part of supernatural anime Platinum End, arriving this week on both sides of the pond. Also released this week in the United States is a rerelease of action anime Triage X and stop-motion cult classic Rankin Bass's Mad Monster Party. Also new in the UK this week is slice-of-life anime Non Non Biyori.

Non Non Biyori: Complete Collection (MVM, PG) When Hotaru Ichijo transfers from a school in bustling Tokyo to a tiny school in a quiet countryside village, she should be experiencing major culture shock. After all, there are only three other girls in the entire school, and none of them are even in the same grade as her! But adjusting isn’t too hard for Hotaru, thanks to first grader Renge, and the Koshigaya sisters, Natsumi and Komari, who are in the seventh and eighth grade, respectively. Even though it takes 20 minutes by bicycle to get to the only place that sells comics, and the video store is ten train stations away, there’s something about the laid-back lifestyle that makes her feel at ease. It’s a big change from the big city, but there are still plenty of new adventures to look forward to as Hotaru learns that home really is where the heart is.

Triage X: Complete Collection (Sentai Filmworks, TV-MA) "Our society is infected with a disease, a gangrenous cancer in the form of those who commit the most monstrous of evils, yet whose power and influence place them beyond the reach of the law. When corrupt politicians fail to act and the police seem helpless, there is a third, secret option that stands ready to excise the malignancy in a tactical surgical strike: Black Label, a dedicated team of doctors, nurses, and students who moonlight as an elite team of assassins. With the world's deadliest nurse, a master swordswoman MD, an idol with an affinity for explosives, and a pair of seemingly indestructible high school students, their mission is as simple as it is deadly: identify the drug runners, terrorists, and criminal masterminds who can't be destroyed any other way, and then eliminate them by whatever means necessary!"
