She’s infatuated with the beautiful and popular Atori Mizutori, but it seems that being a good girl with good grades isn’t enough to catch Atori’s eye. Then Yuu had an idea. Since Atori is the head of the student disciplinary committee, she’s far more likely to notice a delinquent in need of discipline, right?

But will Atori notice her now with dyed hair and piercings, or will she see through though the scheme and counter with her own insidious one against their school’s newest Bad Girl?"

World War Blue (Media Blasters, 16+) "An epic action fantasy parody of the video game console wars of the 1990's when the two major video game companies like Ninetndo and SEGA competed and ruthlessly fought for the biggest share of the consumer market.

After years of seemingly endless conflict, the Segwa Kingdom is on the defensive until Gear, a kid with extraordinary skills and sonic speed, joins the fight! The series characters and situations are clever parodies of both the most popular and obscure Nintendo and Sega games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and many others."
