Anime Releases for 10/06

Here are the releases for today (10/06) 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.

WOW -Another great week for those collecting - unless your budgets are tanked! This is especially a great week for us old timers that remember Astro Boy and Kimba. Astro Boy has several mini sets being released while Kimba has one currently. I know I will have to get Kimba set for my son.

I have seen both Rahxephon and Mushi-Shi. Both great series from 2 totally different times. Rahxephon is of the future with lots of Mecha, while Mushi-Shi is more of a tale from the past. Both have equally great story telling and exceptional artwork.

 Astro Boy Mini Sets 1 & 2
In a future where science fiction is reality, Dr. Boynton creates a super-robot in his deceased son's image. Named Astro Boy, the robot can swim oceans, leap over mountains and even fly into space, but he can't replace the doctor's son. Abandoned and disowned, soon Astro Boy is befriended by Dr. Packadermus J. Elefun of the Institute of Science, and together, they embark upon an amazing adventure. With super strength, rocket-powered flight, a selfless heart and a kind demeanor, Astro Boy fights a never-ending crusade against the forces of evil!
