Magic User’s Club OVA Series DVD Collection
5th April 2016 | $19.99 | Dual Audio | 180 Minutes (6 Episodes)
Directed by Junichi Sato (Sailor Moon, ARIA The ANIMATION)
Animation by Triangle Staff (Serial Experiments Lain, Macross Plus)
Exactly one year ago, aliens invaded Earth. But it wasn’t the kind of invasion you’d expect. After descending from space and destroying any opposition, the giant spaceship known as The Bell just… sat there. For a year it’s been floating silently over the ocean, quietly observing how Earthlings live. Everyone’s pretty much used to it by now.
Everyone, that is, except the Magic User’s Club. They’re a small band of misfits who can do actual, honest-to-goodness magic! Their leader, Takeo, doesn’t trust the aliens to stay peaceful. He wants to fight the alien menace, but it’ll be a tough task when his club consists of a perverted president, a flamboyant VP, a flaky princess, a bumbling new recruit, and her temperamental best friend! Can this motley crew pull it together and save the world?
Magic User’s Club TV Series DVD Collection
5th April 2016 | $39.99 | Dual Audio | 325 Minutes (13 Episodes)
Directed by Junichi Sato (Sailor Moon, ARIA The ANIMATION)
Animation by MADHOUSE (Cardcaptor Sakura, Hunter x Hunter (2011)) and Triangle Staff (Serial Experiments Lain, Macross Plus)
The Magic User’s Club is a group of five well-meaning misfits who do more than card tricks – they can use actual magic. And with that magic, they managed to defeat a giant ship from outer space! But their close encounter left an enormous cherry blossom tree right in the middle of the city. It’s so big that it blocks out the sun!
Takeo Takakura, the club’s noble (but perverted) president, calls a special Sundaymeeting to take care of the tree. It seems simple enough, but when magic is involved, nothing ever goes according to plan… What’s more, there’s a ghostly figure hidden among the branches, watching their every move. Who is this silent specter, and what does he want?
Gakuen Alice DVD Collection – Anime Elements

Mikan and Hotaru are best friends! (Well, according to Mikan, anyway. Hotaru doesn’t seem to care.) Then one day, Hotaru is escorted away in a fancy black car, apparently scouted by a school in Tokyo called “Alice Academy.” Crushed at the loss of her favorite pal, Mikan scurries after her, determined to enroll, too!
But Alice Academy is a mysterious place. Can Mikan tough it out in a school where explosions, superpowers, giant baby chicks and axe-wielding teddy bears are the norm? Though it’s not as if she has a choice, because once students enter Alice Academy, there is no escape!
