2 new releases are out this week thanks to Section 23′s clients Sentai Filmworks and Switchblade Pictures, with a new Anime and a new J-Horror film to add to your bulging collection.

Sentai Filmworks have brought us a brand new Anime in the form of Special A Collection 1 (also known as “S.A,”), which has been on Japanese TV since April 2008. The release contains 12 episodes, and is rated PG. It is also in Japanese with English subtitles, and is expected to cost $39.98US.

Here is a series synopsis:

At age six, Hikari Hanazono was the best at everything, so when she challenged Kei Takishima to a wrestling match, she naturally assumed she would win. Unfortunately, she lost; he won; and the natural order was disrupted. Ever since, Hikari’s entire life has been structured around beating Kei at SOMETHING. Unfortunately, try as she might, Hikari always comes up just short. Now he’s the top student and athlete at their very exclusive high school and she’s right beneath him at number two, (a position that is still, of course, completely unacceptable.) And, just to complicate matters further, even as Hikari dedicates her life to somehow one-upping Kei, she’s completely oblivious to the fact that Kei is actually in love with her!

Switchblade Pictures have brought out a new live-action Japanese Horror flick called Nu-Meri ~ Book Of The New Spawn. This release is unrated, and will cost $19.98US.

Would you like a synopsis?:

There’s something wrong at the Pacific Institute… something wrong and evil. For young Mari, whose family has worked in the fishing industry for generations, her studies in advanced genetics and marine bio-engineering represent not just her own the future, but that of her entire family. But when her friend Nanako is mysteriously discovered dead, Mari’s dreams turn into her worst nightmares! Because not only was Nanako’s body covered with fishbites, she was also growing scales! Now, as a new wave of deaths and tragedies engulf the Pacific team, it becomes all too clear that someone… something… has a new future in mind for all human kind. For centuries man has taken from the ocean, never dreaming what might lurk beneath the waves; now the revelation has begun… and this time, we’re the sushi!

Both of these releases have been made available on the 10^th of November.
