However, while other teams have been placed in restaurants that are already in operation, Soma’s team receives a dilapidated property that must be restored first! But that’s only a minor challenge compared to what comes next, as the top students from all levels of Totsuki compete to become one of the school’s three representatives at BLUE, one of the world’s most legendary culinary competitions! Tempers flare, surprise ingredients abound, and someone’s sure to get burned in most heated cook off of all in the fifth and final season of FOOD WARS!

SYNOPSIS: It would be hard to find a more pathetic scumbag than Kaiji Ito, who’s spent his life gambling, drinking, and running up massive debts. Unfortunately, Endo the Loan Shark has no trouble finding Kaiji himself, and to pay back an impossible debt, our human cockroach of a hero’s only hope is to risk life, limb, and freedom on a night on an infamous gambling ship. If Kaiji miraculously succeeds, his debts could be cleared… but Kaiji is just a pawn in a bigger, rigged, and even deadlier game where the real players are all betting against him becoming KAIJI THE ULTIMATE SURVIVOR!

Since he’s never heard of isekai, Zhuge Kongming isn’t too sure about that himself… until he hears the voice of aspiring singer Eiko Tsukimi. Then all becomes clear: he’s here to manage her career and make her a superstar! Is pitting a master of the art of war against the mewling lesser beings who run the recording industry extreme overkill? Of course, but it’s a hell of a lot fun to watch in the feature film version of YA BOY KONGMING! ROAD TO SUMMER SONIA!

Format: BD
Language: English Dub, Japanese with English Subtitles
SRP: $69.98

SYNOPSIS: Amagi Brilliant Park’s mascots are ancient, its attractions are falling apart, and the rides are only thrilling because they’re deathtraps. Which, given that ABP’s secret purpose is to gather magic from attendees to keep the mythical creatures that run the park alive, is not good! With creditors about to foreclose and bulldozers lining up, the mythical residents’ last hope is student Seiya Kanie, who has the impossible task of bringing in 250,000 paying guests within three months! Fortunately, nothing’s completely impossible when you’ve got magic, scantily clad fairies, gun-toting sheep, and a PLAN to save AMAGI BRILLIANT PARK!

SRP: $99.98

SYNOPSIS: Magic student Alto Goldfield isn’t having much luck at summoning, but it’s required to advance to the next grade. Then he chances upon an old grimoire and summons a lot more than he anticipated – a very beautiful and naked demon girl named Vermeil! The good news: she’s willing to become his familiar! Unfortunately, she also wants to “bond” in another way, live off his mana, and isn’t crazy about wearing clothes. This is probably going to get awkward, but in a school where the bullies have dragons, could it hurt to have a familiar who can kick a dragon’s tail? Welcome to Demon keeping 101, where, with any luck, Alto will hopefully survive summoning VERMEIL IN GOLD!
