Utano Princesama: Legend Star Complete Collection

The contest to become the opening group for Triple S may have been shaken up by the arrival of the now seven-member group HE?VENS, but QUARTET NIGHT generously declines to take advantage of the decision in their favor… as long as the other two bands agree to an unexpected new phase of the competition! Are the other two rival groups ready for a new series of cross-band duets, with each song pairing one member of ST?RISH and one member of HE?VENS? Will Haruka be up to writing yet another round of spectacular songs? It’s time to pick up the tempo and sing to the balconies as the musical one-upmanship only gets wilder in UTANO ? PRINCESAMA LEGEND STAR!

These ladies have strong personalities and aren’t afraid to put you in your place. Whether it’s their physical power or their mental endurance, these characters have learned the importance of always saying what’s on their mind. Spies, princesses and assassins, these heroines demolish expectations!

Stella Vermillion and Dunan Knute should have been on that list IMO…

I’ve had the pleasure and honor of knowing quite a few real ladies that were strong, very strong.

In Anime there’s way more than 8, so no matter what they did with this list they were bound to leave deserving anime women off.

BanG Dream! Girls Band Party – A Sentai Game Review

4/6/2018 12:55:08 PM

BanG Dream! Girls Band Party – A Sentai Game Review BanG Dream! brings everything we love about idol games all into one: catchy music, storylines that are fun to follow, and of course, the interactive game where your biggest competition is yourself (or maybe your fingers). Who doesn’t love a good rhythm game?

We were able to download and play the game (one of those moments where you tell yourself you’re only going to play for 2 more minutes and then you look up and it’s midnight…) to give you an inside scoop on why this game will be your new rhythmic obsession.

The shadow war explodes and the world burns as the ultimate warriors face off in immortal combat in Ajin 2!

Sent still has the rights for Princess Resurrection? That one would be nice to see On Demand or on Blu-ray…

If it’s airing on HIDIVE, chances are that they still have the license. :wink:

Yeah between Princess Resurrection and RahXephon those would be two I would pick up if they were to have Blu-Ray releases

Probably worth noting that the DVD set has been out of print for a while though. A re-release or a Bluray set would be nice in the future.

I ended up buying all the episodes on iTunes because the DVD’s were out of print and the second hand prices were starting to climb.

Urara Meirochou Complete Collection

Chiya was raised in the woods and most of her friends were animals. But now she needs to find something, and since it may take the skills of an Urara, or fortune teller, to find it, she’s come to the town of Meiro-cho to learn to become an Urara herself. It won’t be easy adjusting… and not just because Chiya still tends to check to see if people have tails or want their tummies rubbed! But the other girls studying at the Natsumeya teahouse are all unusual in their own ways, and it’s clear from the beginning that Chiya’s going to be great friends with studious Kon, rambunctious Koume and shy Nono. And that’s good, because if Chiya’s going to find her missing mother, she’ll need all the help and support she can get in URARA MEIROCHO!
