About:
Japan's oldest movie studio and theater operator, Nikkatsu once operated 70% of all movie theaters in Japan. The company struggled after world war 2 and was reduced to producing soft-core pornography in the 1970s. In 1993 Nikkatsu filed for bankruptcy and was rescued by Namco, which injected 3 billion yen (US$28 million) into the company. In 1997 Nikkatsu became a subsidiary of Namco.

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie Blu-ray
Fullmetal Alchemist is a series for the ages, and even if this part of it doesn't quite live up to its earlier incarnation, it's well worth watching and definitely worth owning. Fans will deeply appreciate this better-looking re-release.
Hayate the Combat Butler Sub.DVD Part 2
The (small) boost in emotional content notwithstanding, this is still the series to hit up for a watching experience that is consistently fun and never taxing.

Magikano: The Complete Series DVD
This is a collection of gags in search of a plotline, and when it finally does find a story to tell, the change in tone is so abrupt that you end up wishing it had stayed pointless and stupid.

Dragonaut: The Resonance DVD part 1
A young man becomes obsessed with a young woman who can transform into an alien biomechanical dragon in this weak effort from Gonzo. While not a total disaster, it does not give much hope for the rest of the series.

If this is the kind of stagnation and dullness that permeates the monster world, then we should all be thankful for being human.
