Armitage III: The Complete Saga

Finally, the original cyberpunk classic is available in one comprehensive collection. One of the first productions to enlist famous American actors such as Kiefer Sutherland (24) and Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers), and created by a team of anime masterminds, including writers Akinori Endo (Battle Angel) and Chiaki Konaka (Serial Experiments: Lain, Hellsing), Armitage III: The Complete Saga is a must-have for anime and sci-fi devotees.

Armitage is a brash cybernetic cop who sports a racy wardrobe and an attitude to match it. Patrolling a riotous metropolis on Mars, she’s got a grudge against a world where androids are at the mercy of unsympathetic humans. In the initial OVAs—also coalesced as the feature film Poly Matrix—Armitage risks everything to track the man responsible for several vicious android murders and to solve the enigma of her existence. Dual Matrix continues years later on Earth where she battles an obsessive doctor and his deadly Armitage replicas. Find out more.

A Certain Magical Index


Kamijo is a student in Academy City, where people use science to develop supernatural abilities. The guy’s got a lot of heart – luckily for a young nun named Index. She’s on the run from a sorcery society that covets the astonishing 103,000 volumes of magical knowledge stored in her memory.

When Index stumbles into Kamijo’s life, she find a faithful friend and protector, and while Kamijo’s easily the weakest kid in Academy City, he’s got something else going for him: the Imagine Breaker, an unexplainable power stored in his right hand that negates the powers of others. With scientists and sorcerers attacking from all sides, the Imagine Breaker will definitely come in handy – but it’s Kamijo’s loyalty to Index that will be his greatest weapon in the fight to keep her safe.
