Winning the War on Pants!

The year is 1944 and the world lives in fear of unidentified flying objects called Neuroi. With the old-boy old guard unable to thwart this deadly menace, humanity turns its desperate eyes to an aerial attack force with much nicer legs.

Meet the girls of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, better known as the Strike Witches. These darlings of the great blue yonder may not have standard issue uniforms, but they do have all the right stuff. Where the average flyboy falters, these dolls blast aliens to bits in the bat of an eyelash. With a little magic and a whole lot of leg, the girls of the 501st are winning the war on pants, and aliens!

SOUL EATER- Part Two Box Set
Available March 30th
SRP $59.98

Maka is a Meister and Soul is her Weapon – literally. When Soul transforms into a razor-sharp scythe and Maka wields him against the supernatural forces of evil, he gets more deadly with every defeated soul he sucks down. They’re a freakin’ lethal team – but that bond is about to be tested.

The witch Medusa and her ghoulish minions are out to unleash the Kishin, who isn’t just a demon: he’s the greatest force of darkness ever known, a wicked fiend of unspeakable power. Luckily, Maka and Soul are used to saving the world from evil. But if they can’t stop Medusa’s freakish army in time, Maka, Soul, and their fellow Weapon/Meister classmates will be fighting to save themselves!

One frog to rule them all!

How long can it take to conquer a planet whose inhabitants are constantly distracted by celebrations, exotic foods, and all the anime you can watch? Apparently a really, really, really long time. But fear not citizens of Keron, for Sergeant Frog and his courageous comrades have vowed to stay in the trenches, feverishly building model mechas until the invasion is back on track! No stone will go unturned, no sweet potato dango uneaten, no manga unread, and no floor un-vacuumed! Those puny Pekopons better watch their backs because the Keron platoon will not rest until humanity trembles at their webbed feet!
