A hit anime feature film Innocence - Absolute Edition arrived as a Blu-Ray disc this week. Influenced by Sci-fi films like Matrix and directed by the highly acclaimed Oshii Mamoru (Ghost in the Shell), Innocence is nominated for 5 awards in the 57th Cannes Film Festival.

The plot takes place in 2032 in a world where people, cyborgs and computers are living together. In this world, people created androids as toys and companions, however, a series of crimes involving androids killing their owners happened and the question about the relationship between humans and computers is asked.

Innocence explores the topic of "why did humans create things which resemble themselves?" this film has more than action, but a deep plot. The plot line is executed in style with stunning images and high quality sounds and is bound to leave a deep impression in all the audience's mind.

Rock Musical Bleach is a musical/theatrical product that nobody is likely to forget. The hit anime/manga series is transferred to the theater complete with songs and stylized fights presented as dance. Watch the artistic presentation of your favourite manga and your beloved cast of characters in action.

Since dancing is mentioned, aside from stylized dances, most people would think of clubbing and discos. The music producer of Final Fantasy series combined forces with DJs from Tokyo, Europe and the US to rearrange his themes as a club remix. Now, besides from immersing in the game world created by the music, you can dance to it.

Another product that takes your breath away is Black Diamond [standard & limited editions] by the pop idol Hoshina Utau (vocal: Mizuki Nana) from Shugo Chara!

Instead of leaving her fans cheering and screaming for more, this song of hers mesmerizes all listeners and numb their thoughts in the anime. See if her charms work the same wonders in the real world.
