Alternative title:

こわい本 (Japanese)
Plot Summary:
A themed trilogy of self-contained horror stories. Volume 1 (Reflections): in "The Mirror" a beautiful girl finds herself being usurped by her own vindictive reflection after it frees itself from her mirror and in "Demon Of Vengeance" a samurai's son's fate is tied to that of his lord's son as part of a cruel and unjust punishment for failing in his duty. Volume 2 (Insects): In the sole, self-titled tale a young woman with a phobia of butterflies is terrorised by a black butterfly that seems to be a harbinger of doom and which seems to relate somehow to her late mother and her new step-mother. Volume 3 (Faces): In "Fear" sibling rivalry between a plain girl and her beautiful older sister rises to murderous levels after the older girl is disfigured in a fall and in "The Coincidental Letter" events snowball out of control when a schoolgirl decides to vent her frustration by sending an abusive letter to a random address.

Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice Dub.DVDIf this film causes more permanent damage than most Pokémon outings, that's wholly the fault of its main character, Keldeo.

Mikunopolis in Los Angeles Blu-Ray
The lively music, flashy visuals, and digitally-generated performers result in a form of entertainment unlike any other.
Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for Doldrey
On the whole, The Battle for Doldrey is a mixed bag of strengths and weaknesses. While that may be true of most things, there are few places where those lines are so clearly drawn as in this film.

InuYasha Movie Blu-ray Complete Collection
Four movies, all so rigidly formulaic that they could be sequential remakes. This is an entertaining set all told, but you can get the same experience (or better) by watching the first film four times.
K-ON! The Movie Blu-Ray
The movie finishes what the TV series began, with a story that goes beyond a typical episode, but stops short of being an epic, life-changing experience.
Sailor Moon GN 8 -10
The fourth story arc of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon saga, known to many fans as “Sailor Moon SuperS,” may have a reputation from the anime as being one of the weakest arcs, but the two and a half volumes that make it up in the manga are among the best the series has to offer.
Death Note V1Light is one of the smartest students in Japan, has many friends and a loving family. He's quite easy on the eyes too. So what could such a perfect person be doing with an instrument of destruction?
