Anime Collection Update: Afro Samurai and Devil May Cry on Blu-ray (and a little thing called Pacific Rim)

I had a look at the amount of cash I had left on my account and it looked as though I had enough to get some more anime, now I want to get at least 1 anime a month purchased and added to my shelf so I decided to head off to HMV to see what they had available. At the same time, Pacific Rim just came out so I picked that up and some cheap anime, one of them is actually 'was' out of print here in the UK. Ladies and Gentlemen, Afro Samurai and Devil May Cry are now included in my collection!


Afro Samurai: Complete Murder Sessions is a re-release that includes the director cut versions for Afro Samurai: The Complete Series and the film sequel Afro Samurai: Resurrection together in one set, no changes on the discs as it's just a re-package but at £19 it's an okay deal. The release is from Manga Entertainment and is set to Region B only from Funimation's original release.


Devil May Cry: The Animated Series is an adaptation of the Capcom video game series. This release was also originally done by Funimation and Manga Entertainment used the license for distributing to the UK. This was one of the first anime releases for Blu-ray and was mainly out of print due to the license expiring but thankfully Manga confirmed they have renewed it for more stock. The release contains all the extras from Funimation's release including stuff related to Devil May Cry 4. At a price of £14.99 in HMV, it's a steal.


The other item is Pacific Rim, a steelbook edition that includes a 3D and 2D version on Blu-ray. It's cheaper than what you see on Amazon, it was £18 (£12 cheaper).
