Celebrate Father’s Day with Horrible Anime Dad Jokes
6/16/2019 1:24:08 PM
Today Sentai Filmworks pays tribute to the one genuinely miraculous talent that unites all fathers in an unshakable union of unspoken understanding: Dad Jokes.
Anyone can tell a joke, good or bad. But it takes someone truly magnificent to craft a simple jest into the pinnacle of witticism known only as the Dad Joke. Yes, friends and family may roll their eyes and groan at the inspired flash of genius, but take heart o’ Connoisseur of Comedy, for true genius is rarely appreciated during its time.
Which is why, in honor of Father’s Day, we’ve humbly written a few anime dad jokes so that our quips may one day find vindication as well.

TUESDAY NEW RELEASES: HE IS MY MASTER & KANAMEMO (Maiden Japan)
June 25, 2019
He Is My Master Complete Collection SD
Yoshitaka Nakabayashi may be young, rich and not unattractive, but as runaway sisters Izumi and Mitsuki Sawatari quickly discover upon becoming Yoshitaka’s new maids, he has some SERIOUS issues. Like his insistence on being called “Master”, and dressing the girls in costumes he creates himself. Unfortunately, Izumi’s personal net worth is in the negative digits, and with Mitsuki and her pet alligator to support, she’ll just have to grin and bear whatever comes out of Yoshitaka’s twisted closet! But the costumes are only the beginning, and when Anna, a third au pair with obsessive issues of her own, joins the party the situation will go from bad to perverse. The rules of dealing with domestic help have never been so completely abused as when the madmen at Gainax (Evangelion, FLCL) unleash their most demented series ever: HE IS MY MASTER!

Kanamemo Complete Collection
13 is really young to have to take care of yourself, but when her grandmother dies, Kana Nakamachi unexpectedly finds herself out on the street looking for a new place to live. Fortunately, luck takes her to a local newspaper office that needs a new delivery girl and the pay includes room and board! Of course, there are a few problems at first: besides being underage, Kana doesn’t even know how to ride a bike! So, it’s a good thing that her new co-workers are willing to help her out, even if most of them are more than a little eccentric. Between Saki, the group’s elementary school-age chief, sugar-obsessed Yume, her neurotic girlfriend Yuuki, tomboyish Hinata and lecherous Haruka, they’ll get Kana up, on her feet and delivering papers with a smile in KANAMEMO!

Those Who Hunt Elves Complete Collection SD
When an unlikely trio of humans find themselves transported to a world populated by elves and other mystical beings, all they want to do is go home. Fortunately, the sorceress Celsia has a spell that can send them back! Unfortunately, things go horribly wrong and the spell is scattered to the winds, with different parts attaching like tattoos to the bodies of elves across the entire planet!

Get ready for the weirdest, most un-PC road trip ever as the tank treads hit the road and the elf-clothes go a-flying in THOSE WHO HUNT ELVES!

TUESDAY NEW RELEASES: PET SHOP OF HORRORS
July 9, 2019
Those Who Hunt Elves Complete Collection SD
Seeking something unusual in a pet? A new companion to fill an empty space in your heart? Then come visit the strangest pet shop in Chinatown, where the mysterious Count D seems to know your every need and desire. But watch out—buying a pet is a contract for life, and when you buy from the Count, the pet you get may be the one you deserve rather than the one you want. Even if that rare rabbit does somehow look just like your lost child, perhaps you’d be safer buying a puppy from a different establishment. At least, that’s what Detective Orcott of the LAPD suspects, as nightmarish things have happened to many of the shop’s customers. And yet, evidence directly implicating the Count always comes up lacking. But then, who would know how to play the game of cat-and-mouse better than the master of the PET SHOP OF HORRORS?
