Director Ichiro Itano presents a hellish vision of the afterlife in the brutal horror Anime series GANTZ. High school student Kei and his childhood friend Kato are helping a hobo who has fallen onto the subway tracks when they are run over and killed by an oncoming train. Instead of death, the pair find themselves in a barren room overlooking Tokyo with a motley group of strangers--including a teacher, politician, two yakuza, and a vulnerable young girl--as well as a mysterious black sphere known as Gantz. Kei and Kato soon discover that they and the room's occupants are all dead and have been brought there by Gantz as part of a secret government plot to kill criminal aliens that roam the earth--and that if they refuse their deadly missions, they face a fate even worse than death. Moody, stylish, and stunningly animated, GANTZ plays like a dark hybrid of YU YU HAKUSHO and LA FEMME NIKITA, with graphic violence and nudity deemed too graphic to be aired on Japanese television without major edits and re-cropping. Produced by the team behind CHRONO CRUSADE and PEACEMAKER, this collection presents the series' first two episodes in their original uncut and unedited versions.

The Adventures of Superman: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
Containing one of the most instantly recognizable intro sequences to a TV show (Look up in the sky! It`s a bird! It`s a plane! It`s Superman!), THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN was the first attempt to bring the comic book character to television screens. Great cinematic characters such as Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and of course Clark Kent himself were established on the show, with Kent attempting to live an anonymous existence as a reporter for the Daily Planet by day, but transforming into Superman, the last survivor from the planet Krypton, when trouble comes calling. George Reeves plays the Man of Steel in this complete collection of episodes from the second season of the show.

Knight Rider - Season Two (DVD)
One of the most popular action shows of the early 1980s, KNIGHT RIDER inspired a devoted following because of its high-tech premise and the appeal of star David Hasselhoff.

Michael and KITT roam the country, righting wrongs and stopping criminal plots.

Created by Gary A. Larson (MAGNUM P.I., BATTLESTAR GALACTICA), KNIGHT RIDER is an action-packed, cult classic television show that made the Trans Am the most desired car in America.
