SYNOPSIS: Junichi Tachibana hasn't exactly been lucky in love, but was that because there's something fundamentally wrong with him, or simply because he wasn't trying hard enough? How many girls could he have struck up a meaningful relationship with if he'd done the right things, said the right words? The answer has yet to be unveiled as new versions of Junichi's prospective romantic future continue to appear. One boy and a whole lot of different girlfriends to be: if it sounds like wishful thinking, it is. But wishes have a habit of coming true, so the odds are definitely on Junichi's side! It's a whole new twist on the idea of love at sixth or seventh sight in the second and final half of AMAGAMI SS!

The action begins with the mind-boggling ATTACK GIRLS’ SWIM TEAM VS THE UNDEAD – When their school and the teachers start eating each other, having rabid sex and juggling, it’s up to Aki and her new found allies on the Girls’ Swim Team to send these monsters to the shower scenes! Then, a routine training mission for the Japanese Self-Defense Force becomes a blood soaked battle for survival when radiation from a crashed flying saucer causes flesh eating zombies to burst from the earth like weeds across the rural countryside in ZOMBIE SELF-DEFENSE FORCE! Finally, one SERIOUSLY ticked off Japanese schoolgirl cuts a path of revenge through the zombie hordes after a master warrior’s arm is grafted to her body in ZOMBIE HUNTER RIKA!

SYNOPSIS: If a ninja's greatest weapon is to be unseen, prepare to meet three ladies who need some serious remedial ninja education. Because by the time this over the top (and out of their tops) trilogy of Kunoichi films is finished, there'll be very little of them that the entire nation of Japan HASN'T seen. First up, a lovely ninja must choose between sacrificing her lover and using her body as her masters command, or forsaking her vows and being outcast forever in NINJA SHE-DEVIL! Then, it's hard enough being a teenager, but being a 19-year-old ninja with an impossible assignment is even worse! Sora's so new to the ninja game she barely knows which end of a ninjaken to stick her sheath on, but when she's given the job of eliminating a rising shaman, she slinks forth to do her duty in I WAS A TEENAGE NINJA! And finally, a female ninja on the run finds herself taken in at a temple where nothing is as it seems and other girls keep disappearing. It's a deadly web of slavery and deception ahead in NINJAKEN: THE NAKED SWORD!

SYNOPSIS: Get ready for a double dose of amazing science fiction as two astounding tales come together in one incredible collection of state of the art animation! First, it's a quick time jump to the 26th century where a school trip to a rebuilt 21st century city turns into a wild adventure for teenaged Shinichi. While chasing a talking deer that steals his bag, he runs into a strange girl trying to elude even stranger pursuers, and then things get really wild. It's a mad dash through a city of the past as two young people discover a chance at a new future in COICENT. Then, four people awake to find themselves in the ultimate prison: an ex-soldier, a beautiful woman, an average Joe and a young computer hacker. Why are they there? What connection links them all? And how can they escape? The answer seems to lie with the fifth prisoner, an old man who knows far more than he is telling. And then there's the cat. It's the ultimate locked room mystery and all their lives hinge on solving it in FIVE NUMBERS. Two larger than life stories, one astonishing DVD: it's the COICENT / FIVE NUMBERS Collection!
