Anime & Movie Releases for 09/15

Here are the releases for today (09/15) at your local Video, Book Stores or the infamous Amazon website in the US. I only review Movies and Box Sets that are coming out as this will get the most bang for your buck. I did "borrow" the summaries from various sites so you can get a brief review of the story.

Okay - I have way too many favorites in this week. It really seems like they are dumping a ton of stuff out and it is not even the holidays yet. I cannot see where you could go wrong on getting any of this weeks collections (maybe DBZ > it is just getting retarded with the number of re-master releases).
