BOX-SET BLITZ!
MELBOURNE, Wednesday, 20 September, 2006 – Fan favourites GUNGRAVE, IKKI TOUSEN, R.O.D – THE TV and SAIYUKI will be released in box-set collections on Wednesday 11th October, 2006. Now's your chance to pick up these great series in one hit!
GUNGRAVE COMPLETE COLLECTION
Go Beyond the grave! GUNGRAVE is gun-blazing action from Yasuhiro Nightow, the creator of TRIGUN and features animation by Madhouse (Trigun, Texhnolyze, Paranoia Agent, Tokyo Godfathers).
Armed with twin handguns, and a coffin filled with weapons on his back, Grave returns from the dead cloaked in darkness and bent of revenge. His goal is to cripple Millennion, the huge mafia organization that uses undead monsters as its enforcers, but his real objective is to root out Harry Macdowel, Millenions leader. The former friends are on a collision course with destiny and anyone in the way is destined for the grave!
Contains all 7 volumes of GUNGRAVE in one Collector's Box!

IKKI TOUSEN COMPLETE COLLECTION
Once again blood flows in the streets of Kanto. The eternal fate that has been handed down for over 1800 years is now being fought by ancient warriors who have been reincarnated into the students of the seven top schools. One such student, Hakufu Sonsaku, arrives on the scene and is rumored to be the legendary Shou Haou (The one who is said to be the one to defeat many in battle). But can this blonde air-head with the overly endowed assets actually be the legendary Shou-Haou?
Infamous for its over the top “fan-service” (think gratuitous panty-shots, etc!) the IKKI TOUSEN COLLECTION contains all 13 episodes!

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY
"If you want to see hot chicks beat the snot out of porn-star looking guys, then go grab yourself a copy." - DVD Vision Japan
R.O.D – THE TV
COMPLETE COLLECTION
In Japan, a novelist is dealing with writer's block after her friend goes missing. In Hong Kong, three sisters who are masters in the use of paper, run their own detective agency. When these people are brought together, a bond greater than blood is formed and it will be tested by evil powers intent on taking over the world. Join Anita, Maggie, Michelle, and Nenene as they travel the globe in order to save the world from the evil mastermind, Mr. Carpenter. Of course, this is if they can find the time to put down the books they are reading?
Contains all 26 complete episodes!

SAIYUKI COLLECTION 1
Enter the world of Saiyuki! A unique universe of beauty and betrayal, where sacred scrolls battle enchanted weaponry and where dragons can transform into jeeps. A land of magic and menace, where four reluctant heroes are just as concerned about having a good time, a stiff drink, and a beautiful woman as they are about saving the world... Join the Sanzo party as they set out on their "Journey to the West" to recover the powerful Sacred Scrolls.
Inspired by the classic Chinese folk-tale “The Journey to the West” (also the basis for MONKEY MAGIC), SAIYUKI COLLECTION 1 contains 6 DVDs in one Collector's Box.
