Synopsis: For dozens of generations, the legions of the Divine Empire seemed unstoppable, brutally tearing asunder nation after nation and subjugating their people. Then one of the Empire's power-hungry priests made the mistake of attempting to resurrect an ancient Demon Lord. Instead of binding Arawn as planned, the Demon Lord chose to rescue the intended sacrifice - the young high priestess Riannon - and formed an alliance with her potentially legendary brother Arthur and the Gael Clan. Now the Empire will reap the seeds of destruction they have sowed, as Demon, Human, Elf, and even Dragon join together in the battle of the complete master collection of TEARS TO TIARA!

Critique: Rated TV-PG (parental guidance recommended for younger children due to violence), Tears to Tiara Complete Collection is a three-disc Blu-ray set that includes all 26 episodes of the epic fantasy-war anime series. Set in a world where the Divine Empire has mercilessly conquered and subjugated all nations unfortunate enough to lie within its reach, Tears to Tiara chronicles a turning point in history - when the Empire's attempt to summon a Demon Lord results in the Demon Lord choosing to rescue the intended sacrifice and form an alliance with those humans, elves, and dragons who dare to resist the Empire's relentless conquest. An exquisite interplay of political alliances, vicious battles, and complex characters, Tears to Tiara is a "must" for fantasy-anime connoisseurs, utterly riveting to the end. Highly recommended! 1080p high definition, 650 minutes on 3 Blu-ray discs, Japanese and English audio with English subtitles.

My Life as Inukai-san's Dog Complete Collection
Sentai Film Works
https://www.sentaifilmworks.com
c/o RLJ Entertainment (distribution)
$59.98 Blu-ray, 1 disc

https://www.sentaifilmworks.com/products/816726023564-my-life-as-inukai-sans-dog-complete-collection-blu-ray

Synopsis: What if you were sitting in the rain and an attractive female classmate took you home for a bath together? It might be some guys fantasy, but there's one detail that turns it into a nightmare for Pochita... he's been transformed into a dog! Now he's locked up with a beautiful girl with a scary dog fixation, and he can only bark for help. As he struggles to unravel what's happened to him, he also learns way too much about Inukai and her friends' private quirks than his now-canine brain can handle in MY LIFE AS INUKAI-SAN'S DOG!

Critique: Rated TV-MA (for mature viewers only) due to nudity and sexual situations, My Life as Inukai-san's Dog Complete Collection is the uncensored Blu-ray collecting all 12 episodes plus the 2 OVAs of a sexy anime comedy. In My Life as Inukai-san's Dog Complete Collection, Pochita has been transformed into a dog; then, a beautiful girl with an eerie dog fixation takes him in and dotes on him - perhaps a little too much! Trapped in dog form, he gets to see more of her and her friends in their private (and undressed) moments than his human-brain-trapped-in-a-canine body can take! This uncensored version truly bares all, in this laugh-out-loud funny and unashamedly raunchy romp. 168 minutes, 1080p high definition, Japanese audio with English subtitles.
